Amnesty nets over 100 weapons .303 Lee Enﬁeld, Russian sniper riﬂe included Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

THERE are more than a hundred guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition that won’t fall into the wrong hands or be used to hurt someone on the North Shore, thanks to a successful haul in the provincial gun amnesty. Throughout the month of June, police forces around the province offered to come collect any unwanted firearms, no questions asked. North Vancouver RCMP netted90rifles,shotguns,pistols and pellet guns and the West Vancouver Police Department collected 33 guns, contributing to the 1,801 firearms collected provincewide. Neither jurisdiction on the North Shore brought in any heavy weaponry like the machine gun turned over to Kelowna RCMP or military missile picked by Abbotsford police, though there have been some interesting antiques picked up. Among them: a Second World War .303 Lee Enfield belonging to a local NEWS photo Mike Wakefield veteran and a Russian Mosin Nagant sniper rifle. Though WEST Vancouver Police Const.

Website bridges cultures, language

Resource developed by North Van doctor is one of a kind in Canada Erin McPhee emcphee@nsnews.com

WHEN Dr. Martina Scholtens handed the patient before her — a woman from Myanmar in her 50s — a handout about how to care for her diabetes that was written in her mother tongue of Karen, the woman was overcome with emotion. Scholtens had been treating the refugee and mother of four for the last year through her role as a family physician at Vancouver’s Bridge Clinic. Thanks to the interpretative services offered at the Vancouver Coastal Health refugee clinic, the only one of its kind in the province, Scholtens and the Burmese woman had been able to communicate. But the handout clearly meant the world to the patient as she burst into tears. “She could not believe it. She just looked and looked at (it),” says Scholtens, a Deep Cove resident. “I’m sure that’s the first time in Canada someone gave her something in the language that she knew,” she adds. The memory has stayed with Scholtens as it speaks to the success of her brainchild, a new website (Refugeehealth.ca), designed as a practical resource for doctors to help them provide better quality of care to refugees by giving them access to a wealth of pertinent, culturally specific health information at their fingertips. Refugeehealth.ca offers a variety of content, including: details about medical coverage available to refugees in B.C.; cultural and political profiles as well as information about specific health issues related to countries refugees commonly come from, as well as guidelines and tools for treating common illnesses. It also provides a database of Lower Mainland community resources (dentistry, legal, housing, parenting, physiotherapy, mental health and optometry) that’s searchable by city, language spoken and coverage accepted. The site’s patient handouts have proven to be the most popular component of the site, and hundreds of downloadable versions are featured on a variety of topics (including women’s health, HIV, hepatitis, mental health, etc.), available in 17 languages. Anyone can access the handouts through the website. Launched in 2011, Refugeehealth.ca is continuing to grow in terms of its available health information, as well as its user base. “Refugees already have so many barriers. There’s obviously the barrier of language, cultural barriers, barriers in term of most of them living below the poverty level,” says Scholtens, describing the vulnerable state those she serves can often find themselves in. A number of Bridge’s patients have been victims of persecution or violence, sexual or otherwise. “They generally come from a huge background of loss — their home, their country, wealth, their job, etc. . . . Accessing health care, that’s extremely difficult as it is. So I think, especially with this population, doing what you can to reduce or eliminate the barriers that can be eliminated is hugely important,” says Scholtens. Scholtens, 39, has been working at the Bridge Clinic since completing her residency in 2003. Located at the Raven Song Community Health Centre at 2450 Ontario St., Bridge provides short-term primary and preventive care solely to refugees, ideally for their first six-12 months in B.C. Interested in family medicine, Scholtens was introduced to the clinic through an instructor who had worked there, tagging along with him and eventually coming to substitute for staffers before she became a permanent physician in 2005. One of four family doctors at the clinic, Scholtens works three days a week and sees patients of all ages — babies through seniors.

DEEP Cove resident Dr. Martina Scholtens, a family physician at Vancouver’s Bridge Clinic, is the project lead on Refugeehealth.ca, a growing resource for those offering care to refugees in B.C. She hopes to expand the site nationally. She was instantly attracted to the nature of the work, providing an opportunity to engage with people from such diverse backgrounds. “It was just amazing to be sitting there in the clinic room across from someone who had just arrived in the country, sometimes 24 hours previous, from a completely different life from your own,” she says. She was also attracted to the clinic from a medical perspective. While she would see people afﬂicted with issues like diabetes, hypertension, coughs and colds, and urinary tract infections, typical of any Canadian medical clinic, at Bridge she would also be faced with cases of malaria, tuberculosis and foreign parasites, uncommon by North American standards. “I also just really enjoyed being involved with this group of patients who were just getting started in Canada and being launched onto a new life. There’s just a lot of opportunity to be helpful. It was really quite rewarding just to see how people did,” she says. At Bridge, Scholtens sees two types of refugees: convention refugees, who are government-assisted and are already permanent residents of Canada with no chance of being sent home: and, refugee claimants or asylum seekers, who have claimed status from within Canada and if denied, could be sent back to their country of origin. According to Scholtens, approximately 880 convention refugees come to B.C. annually, and virtually all are connected with Welcome House, a settlement program offered through the Immi-

grant Services Society of B.C. Bridge has a relationship with Welcome House and so all convention refugees entering the province are connected with their clinic, at the very least, for a visit with a nurse and some initial blood work. Based on their health, it could be a one-time visit, but typically, the individuals stay patients of the clinic for a while. As there’s no formal means of tracking refugee claimants, they come to the clinic of their own accord so long as they ﬁnd out about it, at times directed by the Canadian Red Cross or other agencies, she says. Bridge used to serve approximately 1,600 new patients per year. The clinic is now starting to see a decline in refugee claimants due to federal changes regarding refugee health insurance and the release of a new designated countries of origin list intended to deter abuse of the refugee system by people who come from countries generally considered safe. At the busy clinic, Scholtens had long been interested in creating a website as a means of streamlining their approach to patient-care. Prior to Refugeehealth.ca, all of their resources were primarily in hard copy form — on posters hung throughout the clinic, for example, bound in binders or in stacks of photocopies, or found on computer drives and in email attachments. “The resources were there but they were really disorganized,” she says. “Part of it was my own frustration at work in terms of the inefﬁciencies and recognizing that I

was either wasting patient time looking for stuff or not being able to use resources that I knew existed because I just couldn’t find it,” she adds. Scholtens was also interested in sharing Bridge’s particular expertise with the wider community. Bridge staff work with patients until they’re able to settle into their community and attain a permanent family physician, typically within a year of their arrival. Often, their patients move out of Vancouver due to the high cost of living. “The big impetus behind the website was actually to support people in the community, to make them feel more comfortable taking on some refugees. All I see are refugees so I’m completely comfortable with malaria and parasites, but if you’re a regular family doctor on Lonsdale and you have a family of Iranian refugee claimants who come in, it’s fully understandable that you wouldn’t maybe feel that comfortable. You don’t know what their coverage entails, you don’t feel completely up to date in terms of these exotic parasites, those kinds of things,” says Scholtens. Scholtens finally put her vision into motion while on maternity leave after giving birth in February 2011 to her fourth child. The site went live the following July. Calling herself project lead, she hired a website developer and was supported by her co-workers at Bridge and a number of medical students in curating the site’s material. While the site does contain some new information written by those involved in the project, the majority of the content was collected from what was already out there. The site is intended for use by all B.C. health care providers, including nurses, general practitioners, specialists and emergency room staff members — essentially anyone who provides care to refugees. Refugeehealth.ca has “definitely, absolutely” improved efficiency at Bridge Clinic, says Scholtens. “It’s the first thing I open at work and I use it with I’d say virtually every patient encounter. I use it for a handout, or to print a map, or to refer to what medications are covered for them. So it’s been very satisfying that way. I think most of us at the clinic use it. It’s just become the go-to place. If someone finds some great resource in the community or another psychiatrist who speaks a certain language, that just all goes up on the website. Everything is in one place now,” she says. Scholtens continues to add to the site, including content she finds or that’s sent to her. “I can see what (visitors) are looking for. If it’s something we don’t have on the site I will find it and put it on,” she says. Outside of Bridge, the site’s user base is continuing to grow. From August 2011 to now, the site has received approximately 36,000 page views, which are steadily increasing on a monthly basis. The bulk of users are from Canada, followed by the United States and the United Kingdom. In terms of the Lower Mainland, the majority of viewers are in Vancouver, followed by Surrey and North Vancouver, which represents the third highest user base. “There’s clearly many people out there who have this bookmarked and they’re coming again and again and using it 25, or 100 or several hundred times. That makes me happy because I know it’s definitely useful for some people,” says Scholtens. A number of other sites have linked to it, including Vancouver Coastal Health, B.C. Children’s Hospital, B.C. Women’s Hospital and the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Medicine. “They clearly see our website as credible if they are comfortable putting it on their website,” says Scholtens. North Vancouver resident Dr. Dean Brown, who practises at Lions Gate Hospital as well as at West Vancouver’s Continuum Medical Care, shares Scholtens’ opinion on the value of communicating with peers, as well as the potential of the Internet to allow sharing of medical knowledge. He maintains his own health information website, Deanbrown.ca, intended as a North Shore resource for family doctors. “I think it’s an under-recognized opportunity See Site page 9

Thieves target building sites

Anne Watson awatson@nsnews.com

WEST Vancouver police are advising contractors and construction site managers to keep supplies under lock and key after a rash of thefts in the past few weeks. Police said they have received nine break and enter calls to construction sites since June 22. Although multiple sites around West Vancouver have been targeted, West Vancouver police spokesman Const. Jeff Palmer said a number of them have been in the British Properties. Suspects are targeting storage units and unsecured power

tools and supplies. “We are actively investigating at this time,” said Palmer. No arrests have been made. Though police are still investigating the incidents, they are encouraging contractors and managers to secure construction sites and store any tools or other items of value offsite. This isn’t the ﬁrst time North Shore construction sites have been favoured by thieves — who have previously targeted some big-ticket heavy equipment. In March, a $50,000 excavator was stolen from a construction site in the 400-block of West Keith Road. Last summer a 14-tonne excavator was stolen from a construction site on West 15th Street in North Vancouver. Residents are being asked to contact police if they notice any suspicious activity in their neighbourhood.

Police will still collect guns don’t have to worry about.” There is no reason to suspect any of the guns collected by West Vancouver constables were ever used in a crime, said Const. Jeff Palmer West Vancouver police spokesman. But he said ofﬁcers are still glad to have the guns locked away. Turning unwanted guns over to police also results in huge peace of mind for families who don’t want the burden and stress of having them around, Palmer said. Even though the amnesty is ofﬁcially over, police will always make the effort to come collect a gun, said DeJong.

VIEWPOINT Published by North Shore News a division of LMP Publication Limited Partnership, 100-126 East 15th Street, North Vancouver, B.C. V7L 2P9. Doug Foot, publisher. Canadian publications mail sales product agreement No. 40010186.

Out of the firing line More than 1800 guns were surrendered to police recently as part of a province-wide gun amnesty. Among them were pistols, rifles, shotguns, semi-automatic weapons and more than 30,000 rounds of ammunition. In Abbotsford, one resident called in to surrender a missile. Police apparently didn’t find the homeowner’s comment — “I don’t think it’s live” — particularly reassuring. In a previous gun amnesty one Lower Mainland family even turned in a rocket launcher. For the most part, the guns turned in just tend to be old, and unused. They aren’t weapons favoured by gangsters or criminals. But getting them out of people’s attics, closets and storage spaces is still a commendable exercise.

An old Chekov rule of drama said a playwright shouldn’t put a gun in scene one unless it was going to be ﬁred by the end of the play. And all too often, life has imitated art. Every year there are tragic cases in Canada of kids who get access to their family’s legal guns and manage to shoot either themselves or other children. People often do stupid things when they are drunk or angry. Having guns in the vicinity just ups the ante on that. In other cases, circumstances simply change. Someone who legally acquired a gun 20 years ago when they are healthy can go on to suffer dementia or mental illness. Simply put, fewer guns out there means fewer gun accidents. The gun amnesty program allows us to breathe just a little bit easier.

Density plan disappoints residents

Dear Editor: The district’s latest efforts to get residents on side with a substantial density increase by way of highrises in the Lynn Valley Town Centre appears to be getting quite a bit of opposition. And while council and staff seem surprised, they shouldn’t be. Unfortunately, while a great deal of time and effort has been expended by the district in the planning process, it appears that it has all been done with a preconceived notion that substantially increased density is necessary at any cost and as a result, the consultation process has been designed accordingly. The fact is, staff and council have not been listening and we as taxpayers and residents have now been backed into a corner. The only choice being given to residents is input into the

preferred height of highrise buildings and the degree of “community amenities” within the town centre. Regardless of the option selected, Lynn Valley Town Centre will see an increase of 5,000 people by 2030 and this is in addition to normal growth in the surrounding Lynn Valley area. There is no longer an option to select status quo or normal growth for the town centre. Even if the option for buildings not to exceed eight stories is selected by residents, council may well decide that higher is better so as to get more green space or the so-called community amenities from the developer. This exercise really highlights a major ﬂaw in the planning and approval process, where council is able to negotiate exceptions to height restrictions

or variances to community plans in exchange for ﬁnancial considerations or other community amenities. While this is a common practice in many municipalities, it undermines and compromises the planning process and is little more than legal extortion. While greater height and more amenities in the town centre may be of some beneﬁt to the residents who will be packed into this relatively small area, it does nothing for Lynn Valley residents in general and does not address the ever increasing problem of getting into or out of Lynn Valley. This situation is truly disappointing and really brings to light the absence of forward thinking. Bill Stowell North Vancouver

Thornthwaite should push for bigger B.C. film tax credits Dear Editor: On July 3, North Vancouver-Seymour MLA Jane Thornthwaite made a statement in the legislature about the opening of the seventh sound stage at Burnaby’s Bridge Studios. She went on to talk about the direct and indirect benefits the film industry brings to local businesses when Lions Gate (North Shore) Studios has projects in production. What she failed to note was the B.C. film industry’s downward spiral resulting from her Liberal government’s failure to keep film tax credits competitive with Ontario and Quebec, a move which Ms. Thornthwaite’s own statement indicates would spur more economic activity by employing film and TV workers and

suppliers in small, local businesses. From 2011 to 2012 B.C. lost 3,500 direct and spin-off jobs in this industry. The head of North Shore Studios announced 2013’s first quarter as his “worst ever.” Meanwhile, Ontario gained almost 8,000 new jobs in film since raising their tax credit. Why hasn’t Thornthwaite pushed her own Liberal government to take needed action while there’s still time to protect B.C. film, TV and related jobs?

Yes, it’s a double-smoked pork belly kebab

“IT’S like Cheers with boobs,” longtime patron Stuart Irving said about No. 5 Orange, in a story last week in the Globe and Mail.

Go ahead and pretend you don’t know what No. 5 Orange is, and I will unnecessarily explain that it’s a strip club in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. I haven’t been there either, but, like you, I’m delighted to learn that it has improved its menu to meet local standards. The one thing that had been keeping me away from a booty-shaking good time was my fear that non-organic romaine would contaminate my Caesar salad. According to the Globe’s Marsha Lederman, Irving, former chef/co-owner of Cobre Kitchen and now of Cuchillo, is acting as a menu consultant in hopes of turning the exotic entertainment emporium into a foodie destination that might attract neighbourhood lawyers and ﬁreﬁghters. Remember when Playboy magazine, in a somewhat successful bid for respectability, used to feature articles by writers who could string a few decent words together, fellows like Vladimir Nabokov and W. Somerset Maugham? Perhaps this is the same idea. Club visitors will be able to tell their disgusted wives and daughters, “Calm down! I

Going Coastal

Kate Zimmerman only went there because our favourite food blogger said No. 5 Orange’s dill pickle chicken wings are free range, and they’re a ‘Nirvanic juxtaposition of sour and salty.’” Curious? I went to No. 5 Orange in my imagination so you don’t have to, taking my invisible digital recorder. Here’s what I allege went down. (SCENE: A dark strip club, around noon. Enter an OLD BOOT (your fearless reporter) in tattered shorts, an oversized T-shirt and flip-flops. A curvy HOSTESS in an abbreviated skirt, 6” heels and a gravity defying pop-top sidles over and greets her.) Hostess: Welcome in, Hon. Are you pickin’ up your son or your husband? Don’t worry, it’s his first time here, he just stumbled in with some friends, and had a few too many beverages. I’ve never

seen the guy before. Which one is he? Old Boot: Actually, I’m here to sample your new menu. I read that it might rival the one at Portland’s popular vegan strip club, Casa Diablo. Please get me a seat far from the gynecology lab. Hostess: Huh? OB: I’d like to sit away from the stage. Hostess: Oh, don’t worry, ma’am. You’d put all the gents off their entertainment by reminding them of their moms. We’ll just seat you over at this dark table here. I’ll get you a ﬂashlight for the menu. Want some earplugs? OB (stufﬁly): No — I’m not that far gone! By the way, I saw a sign in the dumpster outside that said “Fresh Meat.” Is your meat no longer fresh? Hostess: Oh no, that was a sign the management had posted outside, advertising for dancers for amateur night. Somebody raised a stink and they threw out the sign. The real meat’s still fresh. (She seats the OLD BOOT at a table well behind the packed tables of LAWYERS, FIREFIGHTERS, BUTCHERS, BAKERS and CANDLESTICK MAKERS, who are all tucking in to ice water and large salads containing pea shoots and cranberries. Bon Jovi is playing at a high volume. The HOSTESS serves the OLD BOOT a Diet Coke “on the house” and disappears. All

not farmed? Hostess (bent in half with her wriggling rear end pointed elsewhere): We’re into sustainable seafood. I’m hoping we get the Ocean Wise designation because I love all God’s creatures. OB (shouting): Can I substitute organic goat cheese for the mozzarella in the spicy marinara meatball sandwich? Hostess (on her back doing hip thrusts at the lawyers): I’ll check with the kitchen for you. OB (shouting): What’s your favourite thing on the menu? Hostess (now gyrating in the direction of the BUTCHERS and BAKERS, who holler approval): I recommend the Woodland

of a sudden, the HOSTESS reappears on stage in an entirely different outﬁt that seems to be made purely of linked beer tabs. Whoops and whistles begin as the soundtrack plays “Sexy And I Know It.” The OLD BOOT glances up, recognizes the HOSTESS on-stage, and gestures impatiently for a menu. The HOSTESS pulls it from behind her back and struts down the stage toward the OLD BOOT, throwing it at her like a Frisbee. More whoops from the crowd when the OLD BOOT catches it with her teeth.) OB (glancing at it and shouting at the HOSTESS): How do I know these are wild sea prawns in the satay kebabs,

Drug resistance is one of the most serious problems developing in healthcare DARYL now and into PHARMACIST the future. Much of this is due to the overuse of antibiotic drugs in some countries where people expect a pill for every ill they see the doctor about. Often this isn’t needed. Antibiotics are to be used only for true infections.

Worries voiced over losing public assets From page 1

process for potential sale or long-term lease. The district is negotiating to lease Plymouth elementary to the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation for an adult skills training centre, and the Lucas Centre and Cloverly School, Keith Lynn and Monterey sites are also on the block. If the board could find tenants to lease the vacant schools or find a new use that serves the public interest, Forward said he would be more supportive. “I think of this from a community point of view. If this was a straight transfer to the city, and they kept it as a park, I’d be happy with that because that’s a community benefit,” he said. The money raised from a sale would most likely go toward paying down $7.2 million in debt the school district borrowed from the province to fund the Westview and Sutherland school builds, Forward said. But those schools will eventually depreciate and need replacing, so selling hard assets to fund them makes no financial sense, Forward said. The board finds itself in this position because the province, with its own financial woes, has had less and less to offer up for school rebuilds and renovations. “It seems to me the sale for market housing is the only answer to the financial nut we have for building new facilities, and I find that unfortunate,” Forward said. Forward is not alone on the board. Trustee Susan Skinner has also tried to steer the district away from selling the lands until every possible option for public use has been considered. “I don’t think we can in-fill Burrard Inlet and I don’t think we can build up the mountain so I really want to be clear on what the needs are for our community — for all community members — before we let go of these assets. We won’t be able to buy them back,” she said. With roughly 75 per cent of the public feedback she saw urging the board not to sell, the public process the board went through was nothing more than “window dressing” if the board is going to ignore the public’s advice, Skinner added. “I hate to waste the public’s time. I know how busy family members are,” she said. Franci Stratton, chairwoman of the board of school trustees, doesn’t agree the board has ignored public wishes. “I feel we have been very open and transparent in terms of what it is we are trying to achieve,” Stratton said. Stratton said the Ridgeway community stands to be improved by replacing the tired Ridgeway Annex, which is no longer suitable for use as school.

NORTH Vancouver school trustee Barry Forward stands outside the shuttered Ridgeway Annex. Forward is voicing concern over the potential sell-off of a large inventory of closed schools. “We have deemed these properties are surplus. We went out for a request for proposal. We chose the best proponent to move that forward and I fully support a broader consultation and public hearing process that will allow the community to weigh in, in terms of what that particular development site would look like.” Anthem will still have to submit an ofﬁcial community plan amendment and rezoning request to the City of North Vancouver, which will trigger a public process, before any redevelopment can

happen, she added. Neither Forward nor Skinner is prepared to say how they will vote on Tuesday night, but they expect a heavy debate. “I haven’t made a decision, however I will say I ran for trustee based on the fact that I wouldn’t sell community assets — schools,” Forward said. “This is the ﬁrst decision for the current board to sell a piece of property. It’s a big decision.”

REFUGEEHEALTH.CA offers those who care for refugees a wealth of practical information at their ﬁngertips.

Site addresses refugee health From page 3 that we need to somehow seize and that’s why I went to the trouble of creating this website because I just thought the technology is there, the need is obvious, we’ve got to do it. . . .” he says. “The kind of collaborative communication and collaborative care environments we need to create are supported by the IT that’s out there and we’re not seizing that opportunity like we should,” says Brown. Brown linked to Refugeehealth.ca on his site. “To me it looks like a very sound and solid resource and I think it’s the kind of thing that we want to have available for North Shore GPs,” he says. While similar sites exist in the United Kingdom and different parts of the United States, Refugeehealth.ca is the only site of its kind in Canada. “One of the hopes with this has been to expand it Canada-wide or see if there is interest in that,” says Scholtens, who last month, attended the North American Refugee Health Conference in Toronto, Ont. and gave a presentation on the website. She received some expressions of interest, including one from a doctor in Calgary, and is now looking at getting funding to expand the site. Contributors’ work on the website has all been volunteer, supported by grants from AstraZeneca Canada’s Frontline Health Program and the B.C. College of Family Physicians. Vancouver Coastal Health is providing ongoing maintenance support and has permitted Scholtens to use a half-hour of clinic time per week to update the site.

Chief takes part in tar sands healing walk

Tsleil-Waututh elder’s prayer an emotional moment during daylong trek around tailing ponds Anne Watson awatson@nsnews.com

FOR Tsleil-Waututh Chief Maureen Thomas, the prayers of First Nation elders carried an emotional message as she took part in the 4th annual Tar Sands Healing Walk in northern Alberta July 6. The 14 kilometre walk, a two-day event near Fort McMurray, Alta., is a gathering of First Nations, Métis, environmentalists and others to bring awareness about the impact of the tar sands on the environment and nearby communities. Thomas, whose band has been outspoken about its opposition to the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline, took part in the healing walk for the ﬁrst time this year. The healing walk on July 6 involved a daylong trek that started and ended at Crane Lake Park, north of Fort McMurray looping around a huge tar sands processing facility, including several tailing ponds. “It’s a real eye-opener,” said Thomas. “It makes you realize how much happens in this world where people have no idea what’s really happening and the impact it’s having on them and their future generations.” Thomas admits that even she was wasn’t prepared for what she saw during the tar sands walk. Thomas said there were air guns ﬁring constantly to keep birds away, and the fumes from the tailing ponds were so intense at times that many participants wore masks to protect their lungs. “It really smelled like the oil, especially when we came to the last tailing pond,” she said. “It was so strong. That was the harder part of the walk.” Various elders, including a Tsleil-Waututh elder representing the west, said prayers on the walk. “When our elder said the prayer, it got so emotional,” said

Thomas. “You could hear crying. It was very powerful.” She said she was towards the front of the walk and did not realize just how many people were there. “It was quite impressive,” said Thomas. The chief said she was also impressed with the police who were on hand throughout the day of the walk, ensuring everyone’s safety. Thomas said she went on the walk to learn more about the tar sands “because on this end Kinder Morgan is proposing to expand their pipeline.” The Tsleil-Waututh territory, located on Burrard Inlet, is directly opposite the Westridge terminal in Burnaby, which is the end point of the existing Kinder Morgan pipeline.If the pipeline

expansion is approved, it is expected to significantly increase oil tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet as well as doube the storage of oil at the terminal. The day before the walk itself, events included educational sessions throughout the day, with storytelling and music in the evening. Thomas said the walks are growing in numbers every year and that she would definitely participate in the one next year. “Basically the whole idea of these walks is to promote healing and prayer and how we can find a way to heal Mother Earth and the people,” said Thomas. “I would try to encourage as many people (as possible) to participate, not so much as a protest or anything but to help you understand and see what’s going on and the impacts.”

Bike camping: The thrill of the wild beckons pedal pushers

NOW that you’ve been riding to work a couple of days a week and the weather is ﬁne again, you may be interested in trying bike camping.

Bike camping is not some sort of yoga thing with your tent mounted on a bike, really it is better described as transporting too much camping stuff using only human power. Route planning is critical! Your ﬁrst inclination may be to cycle from North Vancouver to San Diego, Calif., which to be sure is an excellent route — if you have a couple of months on your hands. If you only have a three- or four-day weekend though, it’s time to scale back.

Think about all the trips you can take starting from your front door. From North Van, cycle to Horseshoe Bay and take the ferry to Nanaimo or to Gibsons where you will encounter the ﬁrst law of ferries: Terminals are located at the bottom of a hill. Either way is a good choice. From Nanaimo, cycle north to the ferry at Comox which will carry you across to Powell River on the mainland side. Then cycle back down to Gibsons, taking the ferry across Agamemnon Channel. Reverse course if you start in Gibsons. This is a harsh three-day trip, or a way less harsh four-day

trip, totalling 255 kilometres. The great thing about this route is the three ferry rides, which provide unavoidable and legitimate rest followed by hills. Another option is to take the Sea to Sky Highway up to Paradise Valley just past Squamish. Most people try to get in to Alice Lake, but it can be very busy. Check out the beautiful valley along the Squamish River instead. There are a few campgrounds down there. If you do cycle the Sea to Sky, wake up super early in the morning to avoid trafﬁc. That highway is busy. If this is truly your ﬁrst time bike camping, consider

At left, fellow Pedal Pusher Antje Wahl takes the ferry to Mayne Island with everything she needs expertly packed on her bike. something less ambitious as a test of your equipment and any family or companions who are planning to come along. Pack way too much stuff on your bikes and on a rainy day ride to the nearest campground you can ﬁnd, or failing that, a

friend’s house with a backyard across town. Do two laps of Stanley Park to get the wilderness component. Set up your tent, use your stove and all the other items to make sure you really need them. A cycle tour is mostly about

three things: eating, sleeping and riding — especially if you are camping. If you are travelling 80 km that will take ﬁve hours at 16 km/hour, an average speed for most touring See Be page 16

Be prepared for your journey, but take as little as possible From page 14 cyclists. Tip: Count the ferry distance in the 80 km. Anyone who has ridden an exercise bike will know that ﬁve hours

on a bike is an extraordinarily long time to pedal. The total time for an 80 km travel day takes eight hours with pit stops foraging for food, water, rest and site seeing. Most

people will not want to spend that much time on the bike, especially if there are kids involved, so plan accordingly. At the end of the day, setting up the tent, cooking

dinner and cleaning up takes at least an hour, more likely two and then the sleeping bag calls. In the morning, breaking camp, packing up and getting on the road will take

an hour minimum. Does this feel monotonous, or boring? Hardly! The thrill of the wild beckons.

wheeled sojourn. The answer is startlingly simple: as little as possible. But, of course the simplest things are the hardest to achieve. You’ll need a tent to keep the bugs out. Make this item as small, light and waterproof as possible. A good sleeping bag and a sleeping pad are essential. If you are cooking, take a small stove, a light pot set and matches. Keep your can opener, mug, bowl (plates are too heavy and you don’t need them) and knife-fork-spoon clean with Campsuds, an old tea towel and a scrubber. Carry only enough food to get to the next store as food is heavy. Now the difﬁcult part: Clothing and personal hygiene. You need clothes for riding in all potential temperatures and for any galas you might be invited to en route. The absolute minimum we suggest is to bring one pair of long tights and one pair of cycling shorts, a warm cycling shirt and a cool cycling shirt and one pair of socks for cycling. Hardcore bike campers say “No underwear” to save weight. But, we suggest one pair for riding and one pair for evening use (remember turn them inside out for day two). For the galas (which happen every night) we carry a noncycling pair of pants, a noncycling shirt and a warmer pair of socks for evening to go with our evening underwear. For outerwear we suggest a warm sweater, windproof/ waterproof jacket, rain pants and booties, toque and gloves (yes in August, you will thank us later). Shoes are heavy so look long and hard before you bring any more than the pair you ride in. Now to the personal care items. Use a washcloth for a towel. It will dry more quickly. Bring a comb, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo in a mini-bottle and loonies for most showers. Don’t forget mosquito repellent, a headlamp, and a map or cell phone with GPS. Oh, and don’t forget medicine for aches and pains caused by actually using your muscles for more than an hour. Luxuries include tea and a book. But, the best luxury of all is a companion to share the adventure with and who will, moreover, carry some of the gear. This person will not notice that you are on day four of your only pair of underwear because they forgot theirs completely and, impossible as it may seem, your route has not yet taken you past a mall where new attire can be purchased in preparation for burning what you are currently wearing. The road awaits. You will never forget the experience, however hard you try.

Get ready for the beach in three simple steps

TRYING to shed a few pounds before beach season?

Read on to ensure you aren’t ignoring any of the three building blocks of fitness. The best way to attain optimal fitness is to divide the task into its three basic components: proper nutrition, cardiovascular training and muscle strengthening. But remember, simple is not the same as easy! ■ Nutrition: Avoid simple carbs, seek protein and maintain moderation. When developing a healthy eating plan, focus on making small changes you can maintain. Begin by avoiding simple carbohydrates whenever possible. These quickly absorbed, caloriedense molecules occur mainly in refined sugars and white flour and are found in most prepackaged, processed foods. You should even avoid eating sweet fruits after the early afternoon due to their high sugar content. Instead, consume the complex carbohydrates found in whole grains and try snacking any time on a plate of green veggies, such as broccoli or cucumber. Replace the calories missed from eliminating your sugar fixes with the filling, slow-todigest proteins, found in nuts, legumes and lean meats. These will also help you maintain a healthy muscle mass. You can also lose weight by eating only until you

Personal Best Shaun Karp

feel about 60 per cent full, even if that means adding an additional meal or healthy snack each day. ■ Cardio Training: Burn baby, burn. Cardiovascular exercise is 100 per cent required in any ﬁtness routine because it helps to burn off extra calories, even later when you are at rest! It’s also great for your heart. You can choose from using the stationary bike, treadmill, stair climber and other pieces of indoor equipment. Or, you can get outside and go hiking, walking, or cycling and much more. To achieve the best results, signiﬁcantly elevate your heart rate for 20 to 50 minutes at least four times each week. To do so, keep your heart rate, measured in beats per minute (bpm), above 60 per cent of your maximum, which can be determined by subtracting your age from 220. So, if you were 45 years old, that would mean

maintaining 105/bpm for at least 80 minutes per week. Not so bad after all, huh? ■ Strength Training: Scrawny is not sexy. The final key to attaining beach body fitness is a regular strength routine. This rule applies every bit as much to women as to men. Your lifting program should feature exercises for every major muscle group, including your chest, back, limbs and abdominals. You can get good results by performing your strength routine as infrequently as twice weekly. But, if you’re serious about muscle gain, you can consider strength training up to five times per week, just be sure not to neglect your cardio program. To improve tone, perform three sets of about 12 moderately challenging repetitions per exercise. For bulk, do three sets of up to eight difficult reps, or until failure. It takes commitment, but completing the triangle of fitness always provides excellent results. And beware, if you ignore any of the three components, the triangle will be incomplete and your results will be severely limited. Be sure to talk to your doctor before starting any fitness program.

Eczema I suffer from eczema. My skin is itchy, red and I often use steroid creams to ease the discomfort. Can Naturopathic Medicine help? Summer can be an itchy time for eczema sufferers and creams don’t get to the root cause of the problem. For most, eczema stems from the digestive system. Improperly digested foods cause inflammation in the digestive system and triggers an immune response. These are termed food sensitivities. Inflammatory cells enter the blood stream and in this case result in inflammation on the skin. Poor food choices, chronic stress and change of climate can all worsen eczema. Marine Drive Naturopathic Clinic offers successful treatments for eczema and other skin conditions. A simple blood test examines 88 foods and measures your body’s reaction to these foods. Identifying the triggers, along with the right supplements, will leave your skin healthy in no time. Call us today at 604.929.5772 to set up an appointment, many extended health care plans cover Naturopathic Medicine.

TASTE

Wine tours come with a few ground rules Notable Potables Tim Pawsey

LAST week, for various reasons, I found myself on the patio at Quails’ Gate’s impressive, vistakissed tasting room, at around 10 in the morning. The ﬁrst wine up was Quails Gate Chenin Blanc 2012. Think hints of papaya with a burst of lemon-lime and zippy acidity ($18.99, 90 points). One of the smartest things Quails’ Gate ever did was not to pull out their Chenin. The perfect “breakfast” wine, combined with the dazzling view, it reminded me, yet again, what a stunning region the Okanagan is and also how we tend to take it for granted. One question I get asked a lot is: “We’re going to be in the Okanagan and don’t have a lot of time but want to do some wineries.” When it comes to wine touring we’ve all matured a lot in the last decade. But there are still some basic ground rules

QUAILS’ Gate winery, located in the Okanagan Valley, features an impressive vista of the surrounding scenery from its tasting room. that apply. ■ Employ a designated driver Designate one person who won’t drink and who will keep the water cold. Staying well hydrated is rule number 2, especially when the temperature’s nudging 35 degrees and up. Better still, before you take your own wheels, consider calling a recognized wine tour operator who knows their way around the region and likely has special access to the wineries with whom they work. Experience Wine Tours is the brainchild of Matt and Shannon Wentzell, who combine their passion for

food and wine (supported by strong professional credentials) with extensive knowledge of the valley. They do the work. You get to sit back and relax between wineries in their spacious, air conditioned van. Plus they’re loads of fun. More info and bookings at experiencewinetours.ca. ■ Don’t be overl yambitious Visiting just a few wineries in a speciﬁc area will allow you to take your time and not get stressed out in trafﬁc. It doesn’t make much sense to try to taste in Osoyoos and Kelowna on the same day. The B.C. Wine Institute website (winebc.com) offers one of the best resources

for customizing your tour, whether you plan to visit the Okanagan, Similkameen, The Shuswap or Vancouver Island. ■ Don’t forget to eat There’s no shortage of great dining destinations, although many wineries offer the chance to enjoy your own picnic, usually with a stunning view. However if you have your heart set on a hotspot such as Quails’ Gate’s Old Vines, Tinhorn Creek’s Miradoro, Mission Hill’s Terrace, Gray Monk’s Grapevine, or Vanilla Pod at Poplar Grove, be sure to make a reservation. Another of my favourite destinations, Black Hills Estate

has just joined forces with Flatbread Farms to offer artisan wood-oven ﬁred pizza at their striking new tasting lounge. The wine lounge and ﬂatbread pizza patio is open daily to the end of October. Bonus: you can also plug-in your Prius while tasting. And if you’re staying in Kelowna, put Waterfront Restaurant and Wine Bar on your list where Mark Filatow is putting out some of the best tastes on the plate and in the glass on either side of the Coquihalla. ■ Leave the perfume or aftershave at home Do we really still have to say

WV man’s love affair with the piano endures

Nigel Grant follows in his family’s footsteps “THE main love of my life — after, of course, my wife, Mary — is playing the piano,” says Nigel Grant. “It has been a central part of my life.”

Memory Lane

Music contributed to Nigel’s presence in the world, which began in Dundee, Scotland in 1935. “My mother, an amateur opera singer, was to give a recital at the Grand Hotel in Blackpool near the end of World War One,” he says. “It was announced that the accompanist was ill and the recital would have to be cancelled. My father, on leave from the medical corps and a good pianist in his own right, was in the audience. He offered to fill the role and that is how they got together!” Piano lessons began for Nigel at the age of five and led to his own public performances when he was about 10 years old. At Dundee Royal Infirmary, where his father was a radiologist and his brother a surgical resident, he played for the wounded war veterans. Nigel remembers the veterans in bright blue flannel suits, white shirts and red ties, still wearing a sort of uniform. Though his upbringing and education (Dundee

High School, established in 1239 and Fettes College) were traditional, a career in medicine and a life in Scotland were not for Nigel. Instead, like one of his cousins, he would study engineering. In 1955, Nigel graduated from St. Andrew’s University as a civil engineer. Two years later, aged 22, he immigrated to Vancouver, following in the footsteps of that globetrotting cousin, who believed that Vancouver and Cape Town were the world’s two most beautiful cities. Vancouver had the advantage of a family connection, with whom Nigel stayed until he found lodgings of his own in Kitsilano. In the late 1950s, the expansion of natural resource exploration and development made Canada a mecca for engineers. Nigel joined Crippen-Wright Engineering and was posted to the Kootenays to explore potential power transmission routes that would result from the forthcoming Columbia

Laura Anderson

River Treaty. It was, as Nigel remembers, “a wonderful job for a newcomer to the country, like being a tourist, only paying more attention.” Weekends at Radium Hot Springs in the heart of the Rocky Mountains were a long way from family vacations at the hydropathic hotel in Peebles. Back in Vancouver, Nigel socialized at the YMCA and at St. Andrew’s-Wesley Church fellowship programs. He enrolled in the Vancouver Sun Free Ski School, where he met Mary Brayne, a nurse at St. Paul’s Hospital. They married in 1958 and moved to West Vancouver in 1962. At work, Nigel used his lunch hours to practise his music. During his years with BC Hydro, Nigel was able to borrow the piano at St. Andrew’s-Wesley Church just across from head ofﬁce on Burrard Street. “Can you imagine the wonderful uplift after playing for an hour in the sanctuary with the sun streaming through the stained glass windows?” Nigel made a leap from the sacred to the sublime with his discovery of Music Minus One. In this CD series, an orchestral piece is recorded minus one instrument, to be contributed by the musician — in Nigel’s case, the piano. Over the years, with Music Minus One as his musical accompanist and a GrotrianSteinweg grand piano, a

legacy from a musical aunt, at his fingertips, Nigel’s proficiency improved but his confidence did not keep pace. Not, that is, until he faced down his stage fright at his retirement party in 1996, his first public performance since playing for the veterans as a boy in Scotland. Since then, Nigel performs and talks about music for seniors at churches, residences and community centres across the North Shore. He’s preparing a concert series for the fall at the West Vancouver Seniors’ Activity Centre. Nigel is an ardent volunteer, a Fit Fella and founded the centre’s Flight Simulator Club. Music and medicine play on in Nigel and Mary’s children and grandchildren.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to THE WORLD OUTSIDE WHISTLER/BLACKCOMB

Glacier skiing a liberating summer experience Neville Judd Contributing Writer

MOST of the shale atop Blackcomb started as mud on the seaﬂoor about 100 million years ago.

offered year-round. Last Sunday, I was a passenger on their Ultimate Day Tour, a 10.5-hour round trip journey from Vancouver to Victoria, offered from May to September. Leaving Vancouver at 9 a.m., I spent three hours, the first of which proved rather rocky as we cruised through the open Georgia Strait. An enjoyable rollercoaster ride, my captain expertly maneuvered the high seas, until myself and the 30 or so other tourists on board found ourselves in the calmer waters of the Southern Gulf Islands. Immediately coming upon a small outcrop, we took a few minutes to take in a colony of harbour seals warming themselves in the early morning sun. Having heard there was an orca pod nearby, we jetted off, had our fun and then travelled for another 30 minutes until we reached Victoria’s Inner Harbour, docking around 1 p.m. Having a couple of hours of free time to poke around B.C.’s capital as I saw fit, I stopped for lunch at Swan’s Brewpub. I treated myself to a refreshing raspberry ale and indulged in a fish and chips craving, which in retrospect seems an odd choice following a morning of avid sea life viewing, but I digress. After lunch it was time to continue my Prince of Whales tour, which included a visit to Victoria’s classic attraction, The Butchart Gardens, a National Historic Site of Canada founded more than a century ago. To get there, I boarded an air-conditioned bus in front of the Fairmont Empress Hotel around 3 p.m., and was given a guided tour of the city as I was ferried to the famed attraction. My first visit to Butchart, I had an hour to poke around and I explored its sunken, rose and Japanese gardens, snapping photos here and there. I was particularly captivated by the rose carousel, featuring a menagerie of creatures, including, wouldn’t you know it, an orca. Then, it was time to catch my ride back to Vancouver so I walked down to the garden’s private dock, situated in a secluded cove, home to an active family of river otters. I met up with my tour mates and we were welcomed by our crew from the morning (captain, first mate and naturalist included) and reboarded the Ocean Magic for a sunset

The place still resembles a beach in July. That’s when summer skiing is in full swing and public displays of nudity are commonplace. OK, not full-on nudity like Whistler in the 60s, but there’s plenty of flesh visible 7,500 feet up on the Horstman Glacier. I’ve never been summer skiing before and I pack with excited anticipation bordering on paranoia: neck-warmer, gloves, fleece jacket, Under Armour and longjohns compete for space in my backpack with water, emergency chocolate and a camera. It’s too heavy so I ditch the longjohns and eat my emergency chocolate. It’s 11 a.m. when I upload on the Wizard Express at the base of Blackcomb. The temperature in the village is about 25 degrees. (Thank goodness I ate the chocolate.) The first thing I enjoy about glacier skiing is the journey. My skis are stowed on the chair in front; I’m wearing a T-shirt and enjoying the warm mountain breeze. Compared to the winter experience, it’s liberating. Above Merlin’s run I spot two deer and on Upper Main Line a solitary bear appears from the bushes. We switch to another quad chair — Solar Coaster Express. The first snow comes into view moments later above a black diamond run called Sorcerer, and there are more banks of white where the Nintendo Super Pipe used to be. Solar Coaster takes us to the Rendezvous Lodge and the Peak 2 Peak Gondola where a bus awaits to ferry us the short ride to 7th Heaven Express and the last chairlift to the Horstman Glacier. Two T-bars, terrain parks and endless blue skies await. At the top I find every kind of tourist: adventurous seniors hiking on the shale, international students up for lunch at the Horstman Hut, couples posing for photos at the inukshuk, and parents watching their kids play in

I missed the whale tail. Peering down and fiddling with my camera for a split-second too long, I heard the “oohs” and “ahhs” from my boat mates and knew I’d missed the big one. “Did you see it?” I was asked. “No! I was trying to turn on the video thingie, and I couldn’t see the screen ’cause of the sun. . .” I trailed off, my excuses weak. No one was listening anyhow. They were too busy riding the high of the quintessential West Coast experience they’d just witnessed. Lucky for me, I had ample opportunities to get a glimpse of the pod of orcas before me as they continued to show themselves to my tour group, coming up for breaths of fresh air and to take in their surroundings. Having woken up at 6:30 a.m. Sunday morning to board a Prince of Whales eco-friendly Ocean Magic vessel, docked just outside Vancouver’s Westin Bayshore, the payoff had more than arrived. The three killer whales I spied, 500 metres away to respect their space, were mine for the watching, and continued to show off their rigid dorsal fins. They put on quite a show. Yes, I’d missed the aforementioned whale tale, but as I bobbed on the calm water just off the south coast of Washington’s San Juan Island, silently taking in the scene before me, I counted my blessings. I had picked what turned out to be the best side of the boat for orca watching, my view unobstructed by taller tour mates, and I’d stayed dry during transit. The same could not be said for one woman, her hair still damp from finding herself smack dab in the splash zone during the morning’s commute. Furthermore, it was only noon and I still had a full day of adventure before me, all as part of my excursion. Prince of Whales, a Victoria-based whale watching company founded in the 1990s, offers a host of tour options and departures from Victoria, Vancouver and Seattle, Wash., many of which are

the snow. Then there are the skiers and boarders — mostly half my age and seemingly unencumbered by back packs full of winter gear. Undeterred, I spend the next hour skiing numerous variations of what are essentially two runs to the Horstman Tbar. It’s where most of the skiers and boarders are funneling and the lineups are surprisingly long. But it’s warm, the views are spectacular and everyone’s happy. Not surprisingly the snow is soft and slushy in places, but I’ve skied on worse in January. For a while I perch beside the public terrain park and photograph the jumpers whose attempts to defy gravity mostly end in wipeouts. I tell myself I’d try it, but what with the backpack and all; I don’t want to land on my camera, right? I stop for lunch at the Horstman Hut and lather on yet more sunscreen, putting extra under my chin and nose — the most vulnerable spots for snow-reflected sunburn. I order a beer and a deli platter of bread, meats, cheese and pickles. From the deck, Black Tusk’s ominous spire is hard to miss in the distance — it’s the kind of day photographers set aside for brochure assignments. With some effort I step into my skis again and prepare for another run to the Horstman T-bar. That’s when I notice the Showcase T-bar has largely emptied. It’s normally reserved for private lessons, like the Dave Murray Ski and Snowboard Camps. With an hour of skiing left till downloading at 3 p.m., I ski across and get the green light from a liftie to ascend. It’s only about a 500-foot climb, but the Showcase Tbar takes me to one of my favourite winter skiing spots, the entrance to Blackcomb Glacier. I seem to have this side of the mountain mostly to myself for the final hour and take full advantage, picking my routes beside the jumps, the half pipe and the inflatable landing spots for aerial gymnasts in training. With a bouncy castle to land on I’d almost consider attempting a jump. Almost. I leave myself a little time to ski out on Green Line, a narrow strip of snow left among the rocks and the wildflowers beginning to bloom. Twice I almost fall while mesmerized by the epic landscape before me and it’s a relief on my legs to finally board Solar Coaster for the download. A mum and cub are basking on one of Blackcomb’s lower runs. At the bottom, a dozen horse-riders are wending their way uphill. Within an hour I’ve revived sore muscles in the pools and hot tubs at the nearby Chateau Fairmont Whistler where — as luck would have it — the Mallard Lounge is serving $5 happy hour drinks and free appies. Somehow on reflection, those terrain park jumps don’t seem so daunting. Maybe next time.

PETS

Dogs, children and safety WHILE shopping at a local outdoor market I witnessed an incident that made me stop in my tracks.

A dog owner had tied her Belgian shepherd up to a tree while she went shopping. Not a big deal right? Well, this dog had a cone on his head, meaning it had obviously just had an injury and needed the cone to prevent it from licking its wounds. Again, not a big deal right? Well, it became a big deal when three young, and I might add unruly, children ran towards the dog screaming, “Look at the cute dog with the plastic hat!” The dog’s ﬁrst response was to pull away from the oncoming assault. But being tied, it couldn’t. The dog’s second response was to bark wildly to get the children to

expected. It first tried to escape, then tried to alert, then, when there was no other choice, it had to defend itself. There was a dog owner who (first off should not have tied and left an injured dog unattended) was angry at a mother for allowing her children to run amok and frighten her pet. There were children who did everything wrong. They ran in a pack towards a tethered, injured dog, screaming with arms reaching and grabbing. They had absolutely no clue how to approach, let alone interact with, a dog. As I said, the only creature that did anything right was the dog and it ended up taking all the blame. This incident is a perfect example of how children get bitten by dogs every day. Fortunately the dog in this scenario did not bite the children, but it certainly put on a display to frighten them and thus protect itself. We can point fingers at the children, the dog, the parent, etc. But what we have to consider foremost is that dogs are part of our society, just as children are. Dogs are everywhere and that is not going to change, no matter how many rules are placed on dogs and owners. Dogs are here to stay, mainly because for many people, including myself, dogs are like children. I know many people who have opted for barking quadrupeds over talking bipeds.

Given this change in family dynamics, parents of human children need to make an effort to teach their children how to approach and interact with dogs, not only to keep them safe, but to foster a healthy, friendly respect for dogs. Unfortunately not all dogs make proper choices as the dog in my story did. And I want to be clear: this dog did nothing wrong. The problem was a judgment-challenged dog owner, a careless parent and unmanaged children. On the ﬂip side, dog owners must be aware that their “friendly” dog saying hello to some children may not be welcomed. Unlike what TV commercials would like you to believe, not all children naturally gravitate towards dogs in a friendly open manner. Some children may be shy or insecure and having a “friendly” dog bound towards them can seem like a grizzly bear bouncing over to see us! Give a fearful child space. Please don’t allow your dog to try to become friends with a child when it is clear that neither the child nor the parent want the interaction. Sometimes a friendly dog can help a child overcome a fear and sometimes it doesn’t. Please don’t make the choice for the parent and assume you are helping by insisting your friendly Fido say hello. Common sense and common courtesy can go a long way in keeping both dogs and children safe. Contact Joan at k9kinship.com

NORTH Vancouver resident Ryan Anderson leans into a turn during the UBC Grand Prix Tuesday. Anderson won the Grand Prix, giving him his fourth straight podium ﬁnish on the B.C. Superweek professional cycling circuit. Superweek wraps up today in White Rock.

IN the crazy world of professional road cycling, a three-race podium streak is usually cause for much celebration. There were no smiles and champagne, however, for North Vancouver’s Ryan Anderson last Sunday after he finished third in B.C. Superweek’s White Spot Delta Road Race. The Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies team member had just scored silver medal finishes in the MK Delta Criterium and the Brenco Criterium — the opening two races of the three part Tour de Delta — and was looking to go one step up the podium to finish the Delta circuit. Sunday’s race was also Superweek’s only ICU-sanctioned event, drawing a deeper and more experienced field than any of the other races. Anderson was right there in the mix as a tightly bunched lead group engaged in a sprint to the finish. He was narrowly edged, however, by American Steve Fisher (Hagens Berman Cycling) and German Yannick Mayer (Team Baier Landshut). Instead of stepping to the top of the podium to take gold, Anderson moved one step down for bronze. After losing the sprint he couldn’t stop himself from showing his displeasure. “I was really frustrated on Sunday,” he said. “I didn’t race very well at the end — I think it was my race to lose, and I lost it. That was frustrating.” So how did he respond to that frustration? He shot right back to the front during the week’s next race — Tuesday’s UBC Grand Prix — and this time he wouldn’t be denied. Six racers broke away from the pack and it was Anderson who pulled away at the line, scoring his first win and fourth straight podium finish. “I think I just had that extra motivation,” he said. “I found myself in a good position in the race. . . . I didn’t want to settle for basically anything but the top that night. That extra little bit, I think that’s what got me there.” Add it all up and, one frustrating finish aside, Anderson is on the run of his life. The podium streak actually stretches to five when you include the silver he won at the Canadian Road Race Championships last month, his final race before coming home for Superweek.

Even when the streak came to an end it was still a roaring success — Anderson finished fourth in Wednesday’s Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix but there was no hand-wringing after this one as his pace-setting helped two teammates finish first and second. “That still worked out well for us,” said Anderson. “This is probably one of my best runs. . . . It’s always a highlight for me to do well in B.C. Superweek and this has been my best year so far.” The 25-year-old, a native of Spruce Grove, Alta., moved to the Lower See Racer page 28

Racer starts fund to keep young riders on road to glory From page 27

Mainland seven years ago. He’s had strong showings in road races around the world before but nothing quite like this. He and his girlfriend, a North Shore native, moved from downtown Vancouver across the inlet to the Lower Lonsdale area of North Vancouver two years ago and Anderson credits that switch with helping him reach a new gear. “I spend a lot of time now training on Seymour and Cypress and taking advantage of the more hilly terrain over here,” he said, adding that he made a lot of changes to his winter workouts this year to get ready for racing season. “I just worked on a few different things in training and cleared my head a little bit this winter. I came at it with a new approach, I changed a few things in my training. I’ve definitely been climbing a bit more in training and I think that, although these races are pretty flat, I think I’m climbing well so that kind of transitions to everything being pretty good.” That’s not the only change for the better Anderson made this past year. Around the time of last year’s Superweek he got together with some high rollers from Global Relay, the tech company that sponsors the Gastown Grand Prix, to talk about funding for cyclists. “They kind of wanted to know if there was anything else they could do,” Anderson said of his discussion with CEO Warren Roy and president Shannon Rogers. Anderson described to them the difficulty in getting a career going during the crucial ages of 19-25 when family can no longer bear the cost of carrying an athlete but pro teams aren’t ready to commit big dollars either. In that environment, the need for employment or schooling often brings

cycling careers to a screeching halt. Out of that conversation came the Global Relay Bridge the Gap Fund through which top young Canadian riders are selected and funded much like a pro team, enabling them to train and compete with much more financial and coaching support. Anderson, now a Bridge the Gap board member, is still actually in that 19-25 age group but said he’s established himself enough that he can survive on his own two wheels. He wants to see other young riders get to that point as well. “It wasn’t that long ago when I was in that position — it’s not exactly easy to make it to the next step,” he said. “If you can get some help from businesses and companies and all that good stuff, it can make a huge difference in trying to fulfill a dream.” If it all works out, Anderson envisions a time when more and more Canadian riders will be scoring big results on the global scene, following in the wake of racers like Victoria’s Ryder Hesjedal who won last year’s Giro D’Italia and is competing in this year’s Tour de France. “All the Canadians that I know, when they’ve gotten their shot to race on some big teams, they’ve all made the most of it,” said Anderson. “(We need to) continue to build on the momentum of young and talented Canadians getting on to the big teams that are on the world stage.” Anderson will finish off Superweek with the Tour de White Rock this weekend. The circuit ends today with the Peace Arch News Road Race up and down the White Rock waterfront on Marine Drive. For more information visit bcsuperweek.ca.

WEST Vancouver golfer Alix Kong ﬁnished second at the British Columbia Junior Girls Championship tournament played July 2-5 at Belmont Golf Course in Langley.

Kong finished with a four-round score of twounder 282, trailing champion Jamie Oleksiew by two strokes in the final tally. Oleksiew took a commanding eight-stroke lead into the final round but sputtered to a 74 while Kong shot a sizzling 68. It wasn’t enough, however, for the 16-year-old Capilano Golf and Country Club member to erase the deficit. Oleksiew triple bogeyed the final hole of the tournament but her margin of error was large thanks to a course record 66 she shot in the third round. Oleksiew and Kong will now join with third place finisher Naomi Ko to form

OBITUARIES

MARGO SELWAY BURKE (nee Osborne) 1917-2013

Dorothea (Babs) Millerd Ferguson March 9, 1921 - July 8, 2013 .

Dorothea Marjory (Babs) Stuart was born in Stettler Alberta in 1921 and raised in Calgary. As WWII wound down, she met Don Millerd of West Vancouver. They were married in 1945. They moved in to a cannery shack on the grounds of the Millerd family salmon cannery which sprawled over five acres on the shores of West Vancouver. In 1958 they moved from a cannery house to a larger house, but still adjacent to the cannery grounds. A move necessitated by a growing number of children. She remained headquartered there for the next 60 years. She raised six children who freely roamed the beaches and bushes of Caulfeild and Cypress Park. This busy brood was raised without the assistance of dishwashers, microwaves, colour TVs, or mini vans. She had four kids before she had a dryer; she had six kids before she had a car. Life revolved around the cannery, neighbours, Cypress Park, and St. Francis in the Wood Church. There were always Christmas Eve carol sing-alongs and Easter egg hunts. In 1968 she and Don bought a farm in the then remote Pemberton Valley, and a new dimension was introduced to family life. After Don’s death in 1977 the farm remained a centre for growing and nurturing her burgeoning crop of grandchildren. Her first grandchildren mispronounced “Gran” as Dan. She was forever after “Dan” to her grandchildren. In 1985 she married John Ferguson also of West Vancouver. This joyous union began a new phase of her life that featured new relationships, interesting dinners, and much travel. John brought family of his own into the mix with his two kids Jean and Ian along with their 3 children and grandchildren. Babs drafted a willing “Grandpa John” into a busy family life. It was a happy time. Along the way, she discovered that she had a heretofor hidden, but considerable, artistic talent as a painter and water colourist, leaving behind beautiful paintings of some of her favorite places; the farm and the church. But the focus of life remained her family. Along with Sunday dinners, and family outings, she hosted riding camps and art schools for her grandchildren at the Pemberton farm. Babs led an active life. Her home was a noisy, raucous place that welcomed all comers. As dinner neared she could often be heard to say “there is always room for one more plate.” What she lacked in cooking skills she made up for in enthusiasm. A note on the fridge said, “When I was young I had six theories on raising children. Now I have six children and no theories.” Babs bore six children who gave her 21 grandchildren who, at last count, had produced 10 great grandchildren. She was the matriarch of this clan in the grandest way. She taught her offspring the important things: work hard, love well, hold hands and look after each other. She was always active in her community, and in the life of St. Francis in the Woods Church. She ultimately received a lifetime achievement award from the Diocese of New Westminster. Life was characterized by her family, farm and fun. As she got old, Babs was heard to grudgingly say, “Old age is the shits!” But although she bore her aging years without enthusiasm, she did so with acceptance. She was greatly aided in this difficult enterprise by attentiveness of her daughters, and by the remarkably professional and wonderfully loving caregivers at Hollyburn House. Last weekend she had had visits from some of her many children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. The next morning, at age 92, she peacefully died…of old age. She will be missed. A funeral will be held at St. Francis-in-the-Wood Anglican Church. 4773 Picadilly South, West Vancouver on Wednesday, July 31 at 2:00pm.

MACHESNEY, Irene Aynsley July 17, 1932 - July 7, 2013

Following a courageous fight against the demon cancer, Aynsley died peacefully at Lions Gate Hospital. Aynsley was born in Winnipeg to Mable and Robert Taft. She attended the University of Manitoba and graduated with a degree in what was then called Home Economics and with a major in dietetics. This was followed by an internship at Toronto General Hospital. It was in Toronto that she was introduced to Bev who became her loving and devoted husband for over 58 years. She was predeceased by her oldest son Robert Orr (Robbie) in 1961; and is survived by husband Bev, daughter Shaun Aynsley (Brian) and son Stuart Taft. Aynsley was an accomplished painter, stitcher and cook who loved playing social bridge and who was a voracious reader with a particular interest in British royalty and aristocracy. Her other great passion was her dog of which she had several over many years. She loved fun, had a wry sense of humour, was a particularly compassionate person and always a lady. By her request, there will be no service but a celebration of her life is being planned for the near future. The family wishes to thank the medical staff at Lions Gate Hospital for their care.She could not have received more compassionate attention than that given by those professionals in the Chemo, 4 E&W, SCO and Palliative areas. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation in her memory would be gratefully received. For those wishing to share a memory of Aynsley, please visit www.hollyburnfunerals.com

BRIGHT, Jack

Jack was born July 14, 1937 in Montreal where he became an expert skier and professional ski instructor. Jack’s love of skiing and the mountains took him to a resort near Canmore at the age of 23 as their Manager of Operations. In 1966 when he was 28, he became the 1st General Manager of Whistler Mountain. Jack was instrumental in taking the mountain and the resort community from a sleepy little ski hill in the 1960’s to the world class vibrant resort destination that it is today! As a result of his role with Whistler Mountain, Jack met and became friends with then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Together they would ski the mountain and take great delight in “losing” the PM’s security detail, who would typically find them later at Dusty’s enjoying a pint and pizza with the locals. He established Whistler’s Chamber of Commerce and initiated the community’s Canada Day Parade also serving as the founding president of the Canada West Ski Areas Association. Jack was a born entrepreneur! In his spare time, he built and operated one of the first hotels at Creekside, The Whistler Inn and its’ restaurant JB’s while continuing to grow the operations and profile of Whistler Mountain. During Jack’s 24 years on the Board of the North Shore Credit Union he was elected as chair for two extensive periods. Jack led the decision to bring the first Financial Institution to Whistler by opening a branch of the North Shore Credit Union. He also served on the National Board for the Cumis Insurance Group for many years. Jack was a remarkable individual who lived life to the fullest, always saw the good in others and had the ability to easily make friends! He especially loved to host friends on his pride and joy the “Snowson”, his lovingly maintained Grand Banks yacht. Celebrations of life were held for Jack at Whistler and The Burrard Yacht Club in North Vancouver. Jack, we love you and we miss your charming radiant smile! Twin Sister Jill, family, friends, Joe, your two special girls Jo-Anne and Amber.
