Tsleil-Waututh file legal challenge Court action aims to derail pipeline, tanker project review
JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com
The Federal Court of Appeal could send Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline back to square one if a legal challenge filed Friday by the Tsleil-Waututh Nation is successful. The Tsleil-Waututh alleges the National Energy Board review of the pipeline was unlawful due to the federal government’s refusal to engage the band. Until that consultation had begun, the NEB had no legal authority to begin their review, according to the nation. The goal of the action is to cause a delay that may allow anti-pipeline activists to unite, according to Tsleil-Waututh Chief Maureen Thomas. “That delay may bring on support from other First Nations and other people here in Canada,” she said. If approved by the NEB and federal cabinet, Kinder Morgan’s pipeline — which runs from Edmonton to Burnaby — will nearly triple its capacity, going from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels of diluted bitumen per day. Traffic in Burrard Inlet would also jump from five tankers carrying oil each month to 34. The federal government treated the nation “like we don’t exist,” according to

Thomas. “The government had the opportunity to sit at the table with us and to converse with us to try and find a solution to this issue but they refused,” she said. “Today, it’s a sad day for me. I feel the government has let us down again; they have not learned from past lessons.” The Federal Court of Appeal provides the best opportunity for the band
to extinguish the proposed pipeline expansion, according to TsleilWaututh attorney Merle Alexander. “The decisions that have been made are final decisions already, and if they’re not corrected now, they’ll prejudice the entire environmental assessment process,” he said. In 2013, Aboriginal band the Dena Tha took a similar challenge to court,
complaining they were not consulted over B.C.’s sale of 21 parcels of land, some of which were used for fracking. While the Dena Tha lost the suit, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Christopher Grauer stated the band had to be consulted in his judgment. “The Dene Tha similarly were not in any way consulted,” Alexander said. “That’s exactly the
case here.” The federal government’s failure to consult the band amounts to a dereliction of their constitutional obligation, according to Alexander. However, the case may boil down to the allegation the NEB essentially overstepped their jurisdiction, according to Alexander. The Canadian Environmental Assessment
Agency has oversight of the expanded Burnaby petroleum storage facility and the new marine terminal, according to Alexander. “We’re going to take Canada to court,” announced Tsleil-Waututh public engagement manager Rueben George, who promised to use all legal means to fight what See Nation page 8

First captured killer whale challenged the way we think
Moby Doll of the Salish Sea “Still underway after three decades, the investigation of orcas along the Pacific Northwest coast has become one of the great sustained efforts on the frontiers of science.As you pore over the detailed life histories of so many individual animals and the branching kinship charts that link families and clans, you can hardly escape the sense that what has been accomplished is practically an anthropological study of longmysterious underwater tribes.” — Douglas H. Chadwick, The Grandest of Lives: Eye to Eye withWhales JOHN GOODMAN jgoodman@nsnews.com
Out in the chuck, looking for chinook, Moby Doll never saw it coming. A harpoon, shot from a gun mounted on the sandstone cliffs of Saturna Island, pierced his left side and sent him into a tailspin. Other members of his family supported Moby’s head above the water while he slowly regained his senses. After two or three minutes he began swimming and breathing normally on his own with a 200-metre harpoon line tethering him to the shore. People who spend their lives watching and studying killer whales often find it difficult not to anthropomorphize “blackfish.”Their similarities with humans are too numerous and obvious
to ignore, but that was not the case back in 1964 when killer whales like Moby Doll were simply seen as apex predators and terrifying monsters from the ocean’s deep. This summer marks the 50th anniversary of the first capture of a live killer whale for the purpose of displaying as public spectacle. During the first week of his life in captivity Moby Doll swam continually counterclockwise in a flooded dock at the foot of Lonsdale in North Vancouver. “You have to think of the historic time,” says Murray Newman, the founding director of the Vancouver Aquarium and a longtime West Vancouver resident. “We had a plan for tripling the size of the Vancouver Aquarium. I wanted to create a space that would present the story of Western Canadian aquatic animals and have all the exhibits in some kind of a sequence that would tell the story of the waters of British Columbia. At the entrance we would have a sculptured model of a killer whale so that people could actually see what one looked like.” Newman wrote extensively about Moby Doll in his autobiography, Life in a Fishbowl: Confessions of an Aquarium Director, published by Douglas & McIntyre in 1994, the year after he retired. Now in his 90th year Newman talked about the capture again in

A superb raconteur sifting through a lifetime of memories, he often ends his sentences chuckling about the way it all went down. Initially the Vancouver Aquarium wanted nothing to do with a live killer whale. They weren’t called killer whales for nothing.The original idea was to kill an orca that would then be used as a model for a sculpture to
be hung from the ceiling in the new British Columbia Hall. But all that changed when Moby Doll survived the harpoon shot. Newman sought out people who would be able to help him hunt down a killer whale in the Georgia Strait. “I thought we should get all the best talent we could get and involve scientists and artists to make this a community event,” he recalls.
Ian McTaggart-Cowan, the head of UBC’s zoology department recommended Saturna Island as the best place to harpoon a killer whale as they came very close to shore at East Point. After learning about the project, neurology professor Pat McGeer got on board as the primary scientist. He was interested in studying the brain of a killer whale, which is roughly four times the size of a human’s. Vancouver School of Art principal Fred Amess suggested artist Sam Burich would be the right person to sculpt the animal.The Department of Fisheries brought in Musqueam fisherman Ronald Sparrow who had a harpoon gun. Sparrow and Burich set up the gun on May 20 and waited for whales to come by. East Point drops off steeply just a few metres from shore and in some months, orcas can be seen swimming by almost daily. While the collection team was waiting for whales, the Department of Fisheries provided a patrol boat so the team could practise firing the harpoon gun at a target. “I had been in the U.S. Navy in World War II and this is what we used to do there,” says Newman. “One ship would tow a target past the other ships and they would fire at the target.” Killer whales were seen in the area on May 22, 24, 26 and 28.They
always came in from the direction of the Juan de Fuca Strait and the open ocean but never ventured close enough to shore to be shot at. Between May 28 and June 25, no orcas were seen at all. Sparrow was eventually called away to fish himself leaving Burich as the principal harpoonist and Steveston fisherman Joe Bauer riding shotgun. The team spotted Moby Doll in a group of whales on July 16 while they were moving parallel to the cliffs about 20 metres from shore. The harpoon speared the young male orca on the left side just under the skin. Stunned by the shot, Moby Doll needed assistance from other whales to stay at the surface; after a few minutes, he started swimming again on his own. “It looked like we had a live whale,” says Newman. “Pat McGeer was the first one over there and I followed with Bob McLaren from our board of governors. We finally decided to contact the owner of North Van’s Burrard Dry Dock, and David Wallace was as stunned as the whale was to hear that we wanted to bring a live whale into his dry dock.” Newman knew of Burrard Dry Dock’s Wallace family through his association with timber baron H.R. MacMillan, who played an important See Flotilla page 29

The City is considering rezoning the current One-Unit Residential (RS-1) zoned properties highlighted in grey, as indicated on the map, to a new Two-Unit Residential (RT-1A) Zone, so that the zoning for these properties is aligned with the permitted use in the City’s Official Community Plan and to enable property owners to potentially redevelop their lots as duplexes in the future without going through a rezoning process. A summary sheet comparing the proposed zoning designation to the existing zoning designation is included below.
The Subject Parcels are designated “Level 2: Low-Density Attached Form” in the City’s Official Community Plan and the proposed rezoning of RS-1 lots to the new RT-1A Zone will mean that the zoning for the properties will be consistent with that designation, but will not necessitate the redevelopment of any of the sites. Many properties in the vicinity already have achieved Two-Unit ‘Duplex’ (RT-1) Residential zoning through individually realized rezoning processes.

Jail time for man who lit friend on fire Victim badly burned in 2012 incident at N.Van homeless camp
JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
A North Vancouver man who set his homeless friend on fire with camping fuel, causing third-degree burns to the man’s face and body, has been sent to jail for just under two years — in addition to over a year already served in custody — after pleading guilty to aggravated assault. Judge William Rodgers handed the sentence to Brian Kenneth Pert, 36, in provincial court Monday. Pert was originally charged with attempted murder of Russell Rozel, but pleaded guilty to the less serious charge Dec. 16 following a preliminary hearing in North Vancouver provincial court. Rozel suffered serious injuries, including extensive painful scarring and partial loss of vision in one eye, as a result of the attack. During the hearing, Crown prosecutor Michelle Peacock described how three men including Pert, Rozel and a third man, Michael Smith, used to hang out together at the North Vancouver bottle depot.
But on Aug. 4, 2012, Pert and Rozel had a disagreement after the two men had been drinking. Pert went to a piece of land between the highway and the Holiday Inn in North Vancouver where Rozel had been camping out, and the two men got into an altercation. In court, Smith testified that he had arranged to meet Rozel at the camp, known as the “grassy knoll,” after the pair finished at the bottle depot. But when Smith arrived on his bicycle, he saw Pert and Rozel facing off on the grass. Smith said as he got closer, he noticed Pert dousing Rozel with some kind of liquid. Right afterwards “I saw a flame go across,” he told the judge. “He just went up so quick . . . poof.” Smith said he ran to Rozel as fast as he could and rolled him on the dry grass, trying to put the fire out. People driving by saw what was happening and ran over to help, bringing bags of ice from the nearby hotel. “We rolled him over and his back was melted,”
said Smith. “Most of the clothing from the waist up burned.” Rozel was rushed to Vancouver General Hospital where he spent seven weeks in the burn unit. For the first weeks in hospital, he could barely move and endured painful treatment for his burns. After he was discharged, Rozel suffered for several more months, said Peacock, including having to sleep with bandages or risk having his skin peel off. In an interview with the prosecutor done for a victim impact statement, Rozel said he used to walk up and down Lonsdale Avenue at 3 a.m. because he couldn’t endure going out in daylight. “He said he felt like he had bugs crawling under his skin,” said Peacock. Rozel told police he had no idea why Pert “lit him up.” In a report done for
the court, a psychiatrist said Pert was under the influence of both alcohol and crack cocaine and thought he was owed money on the day he went to Rozel’s camp with gas and a lighter. The psychiatrist noted Pert has a history of firesetting behaviour. After Pert set Rozel on

And there has thus far been a massive gulf of accountability Ford owes Torontonians. These are newsworthy events with a genuine public interest.

is now looking into as many as 1,200 cases of missing or murdered aboriginal women — possibly twice the amount last assumed. The federal government has routinely rejected calls to hold an inquiry into how those numbers could ever climb so high. When pressed by the Opposition in the House of Commons, the Tories spun the crisis into a pitch to support their budget, which contains a $25million strategy for aboriginal missing and murdered women — but offered no interest in a public inquiry, which would bring closure and shed light on past wrongs to ensure they don’t happen again. If a proportionate number of uppermiddle class blond girls were murdered or went missing, there wouldn’t be an inquiry. There would be martial law.

Concerned residents discounted as NIMBYs Dear Editor: It comes as no surprise that West Vancouver council voted to endorse the Maison development proposal. It is apparent to those of us unfortunate to be pitched into this process involuntarily that we, the residents and taxpayers of West Vancouver, mean very little to our municipal government. While the district is happy to collect taxes from us, we as residents are regarded as nuisances to be tolerated but ultimately ignored.The
municipal manifestation of Godwin’s Law is that any meaningful debate is extinguished by discounting concerned residents as NIMBYs, and those voices can then be invalidated and ignored. What transpired in the Maison process exemplifies how flawed the planning process is, and how those with power in our municipal government are failing us, as long as we are not profit-driven developers. There was no attempt at
actual due diligence in determining the answers to the critical questions: Does West Vancouver need another prohibitively expensive seniors’ facility? Is this a suitable location? Is this quality care? What are negative impacts of spot zoning? Should a community be able to shape itself and the changes that ensue? Does this serve the people of our community? To all these questions, West Vancouver just didn’t care. All the answers
indicated Maison should have been soundly rejected. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. Why? Money. As long as there is a developer with deep pockets, the district will fawn over them and ensure they get what they want and use whatever rationalization to push it through. Unless residents are able to match the money developers give the municipalities as community amendment contributions, we will continue to be second-class citizens and
all our neighbourhoods are at risk. Instead of actually attempting to get its financial house in order, West Vancouver prefers to continue a gravy train of fiscal irresponsibility and unsustainability. With the exception of Bill Soprovich, who is willing to stand up for residents and neighbourhoods, we are poorly served by this council. In this election year, something needs to change.

“Faculty believes that she is an incompetent leader.” Capilano University faculty association president Joanne Quirk calls for university president Kris Bulcroft’s resignation (from a May 2 news story). “I’ve lost a year.” Former Capilano University arts student Michaela Hanemaayer describes the setback she faces as a result of the school’s move to axe a range of courses to shore up their budget (from an April 27 news story). “Denying the need for this sort of facility . . . is a little bit comparable to being a climate change denier.” WestVancouver Coun. Michael Lewis supports a seniors care facility that includes help for dementia sufferers (from an April 30 news story).

A one-way ticket to disgrace-land What a world we live in, where evidence of years and years of despicable, discriminatory, sexist, racist behaviour gets a man no more than a few fines and a couple of court scuffles, but a lame phone call secretly taped by a mistress and leaked to TMZ will get you a oneway ticket to disgraceland. This story is about Donald Sterling, the soon-to-be-former owner of the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers. Last weekend TMZ threw a grenade into Sterling’s white-bread world, releasing a recording of a phone conversation between the 80-year-old coot and his 31-year-old girlfriend in which Sterling made some ridiculous statements, some truly awful statements, and some downright hilarious statements. First, the awfully hilarious. Sterling was angry that his girlfriend — who, remember, is five decades younger than him! — was showing up to basketball games with black athletes and celebrities like Magic Johnson and posting pictures from those encounters on the Internet.
Andy Prest
Laugh All YouWant Sterling said it was OK for her to do other things with them — including have sex with them! — but please stay off the Instagram.What a cool boyfriend. Did I mention this young lady is part Hispanic and part . . . black?! The TMZ grenade became an NBA nuclear bomb when new league commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling for life and vowed to do “everything in his power” to force the sale of the team to another owner. There were worse ramblings in the recording, like Sterling’s insane response after his girlfriend asked him if he knew that he employs a team full of black athletes: “I support
them and give them food, and clothes, and cars, and houses.Who gives it to them? Does someone else give it to them? Do I know that I have — Who makes the game? Do I make the game, or do they make the game? Is there 30 owners, that created the league?” What a smoothy. For many people, this tape wasn’t a surprise at all. It was, in fact, rather tame compared to other deeds — Sterling has a long, well-documented history of vile behaviour. NBA legend Elgin Baylor, after he was fired as general manager by the Clippers, filed an unsuccessful wrongful termination lawsuit against Sterling, alleging that his former boss had a “plantation mentality” and had instructed Baylor that he wanted the team to “have a white Southern coach coaching poor black players.” Sterling’s history includes paying $2.75 million to settle the largest housing discrimination lawsuit in history. Sterling, owner of several housing developments in California, reportedly worked to keep blacks, Hispanics and people with children
out of his properties. In a sworn statement, one of his employees repeats comments that Sterling allegedly made about one of the buildings he had recently acquired: “All the blacks in this building, they smell, they’re not clean . . . all of the Mexicans that just sit around and smoke and drink all day.” Now we’re getting into some vile stuff. And when a man who owns a lot of real estate is actively working against vulnerable sectors of the population, now we’re talking about stuff that hurts real people in real ways that goes way beyond who poses with whom on Instagram.

Yet all of that pre-TMZ stuff was basically ignored as Sterling went about his high-profile business of running the worst franchise in professional sports.That Sterling only became a pariah after TMZ dubiously obtained a tawdry recording of a seemingly crazy old man talking to his seemingly gold-digging girlfriend has started what Kareem Abdul Jabbar cleverly coined, in an op-ed for Time, the “finger wagging Olympics.” Is this what we’ve come to now? Is real discrimination OK as long as it doesn’t land you on a star-shaming tabloid show? Others, like Kareem, have made the “why is
this rage happening now because of something stupid instead of years ago because of something serious” argument more eloquently than I can, most notably ESPN’s Bomani Jones, who spit an incredible 10 straight minutes of freestyle rage on Dan Le Batard’s radio show after TMZ turned on the bigot spigot. Yet here we are, thanks to the woman who killed the golden goose with a tape recorder. And oh boy, the rage at Sterling and glee at his downfall is in full effect. And there’s nothing more spectacular than the rage found in the silly little world SeeWorld page 9

Nation challenges ‘one-sided’ review
From page 1
he portrayed as a onesided review process. The Tsleil-Waututh’s case is the first legal challenge made by a First Nation against the pipeline. With the Burrard Inlet reflecting sunlight behind him, George pointed across the waters to Kinder Morgan’s facilities. “Everything we get out of the water is goodness. Right over there is Kinder Morgan, and what they put into the water isn’t good,” he said. “Because the Canadian government is not looking out for the people, we will.” George said he fears spiraling cancer rates and environmental destruction from the project. The Tsleil-Waututh was supported by North Shore No Pipeline Expansion, which recently won intervener status at the NEB hearings. NOPE will likely focus on health problems that could arise in the event of a diluted bitumen spill.

Keep discussing Senate reform: Jaffer
BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
The only Canadian senator to hail from the North Shore says Senate reform should still be on the national agenda — even though the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the prime minister’s bid to reform it unilaterally. The high court ruled unanimously last week that creating fixed terms or Senate elections would require the consent of
at least seven provinces representing at least half the Canadian population. On the matter of abolishing the Senate, that would take all 10 provinces, the court ruled. Stephen Harper responded by saying Senate reform was “off the table. “It’s always been the case that this is a constitutional issue.We all know that the provinces, since Day 1, have to be involved in any decision that’s made about the Senate,” said Mobina Jaffer, a lawyer appointed to the red chamber by Jean
Chretien. The fact that Harper could not make the reforms he wanted with his strength in the House of Commons alone doesn’t mean it should be a dead issue, Jaffer said. “Obviously there is dissatisfaction with the present way that the Senate is formed so I still believed the discussion needs to take place and I would encourage the prime minister to bring the provinces together and find a constitutional solution that would make Canadians content with
their parliament,” Jaffer said. “This is not about an individual senator or the senators that are here at this point.This is about what do Canadians want? What kind of parliament do Canadians want?” If the status quo “is supported by virtually no Canadian,” as the prime minister suggested, it shouldn’t be insurmountable to win the approval of Canada’s premiers, Jaffer added. Lost amid the headlines and scandal of the last year
is the good work that the Senate does, Jaffer said while on a break from chairing a meeting of the Senate human rights committee. At the time, they were discussing international child abduction. “I definitely want reform because it’s not fun coming here when people are not happy with your work, no matter how hard you work,” she said. “I get a lot of encouragement. Now I would like to find ways of getting my institution respected.”

of professional sports. Sometimes, though, the silly sports world can provide lessons that transfer over to the real world. Sports are stupid and funny and many people care way too much about them. For every one reporter working to hold people with power accountable, there are 1,000 reporters trying to be the first one to post on Twitter the name of John Tortorella’s replacement. But not every scam artist is going to slip up and end up on TMZ. No clever crook in a suit and tie is easy to catch (unless, of course, that clever guy just really loves crack). Here in Canada, news recently came out that some unscrupulous lawyers and their agents have been scamming First Nations
people as they navigate through the system set up to provide compensation for suffering caused by the horrid residential school system.That’s right — these crooks are preying on victims of abuse who are seeking restitution for the abuse they suffered. Now that’s awful.Yet that story barely registers because there’s no one showing up on tabloid TV videos texting naked selfies or doing blow with a hooker. If this story teaches anything, it is these two things: 1) if there is discrimination going on but it isn’t salacious enough for Ben Mulroney to solemnly address on etalk, that doesn’t mean it should be ignored, and 2) despicable old men — maybe you should keep it in your pants. aprest@nsnews.com

NV racer reaches his goal Local man completes 100 events in two years
ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com
HEALTH NOTES page 16
After successfully completing 100 races in two years, North Vancouver’s KeithTurner has found himself in more than a few memorable situations. Having participated in five- and 10-kilometre runs, full- and halfmarathons and triathlons, primarily in the Lower Mainland, he’s been pummelled with cornstarch, run in the dark to disco lights, braved both snow and rain, inadvertently ridden twice the required cycling distance of a course as well as finished dead last in an open water swim. The self-described “non-athlete,” “journeyman runner” and “weekend warrior,” was inspired to set the challenge for himself after hearing about a man in Calgary who ran 50 marathons for charity in a year. “Give me a goal and I’m better. If I have to flounder around, like most of us do trying to find motivation, then getting my ass up and out running every day is not as easy,” says Turner, a father and businessman who runs two companies, an investment banking firm and an independent television production company. Part of the attraction was to better his own health and stay fit. “I have a bit of a shark mentality. I honestly believe as long as you keep moving, you don’t die. It’s not a fatalist view, it’s my view that we often think we can’t do things the same when we get older.”Turner hopes his determination and refusal
to give up shows others they too can accomplish their goals, physical or otherwise, at any age. In addition, the charitable component of each event was a major draw. One of particular significance to him is the annual Vancouver Transplant Trot, held last month in support of the B.C. Canadian Transplant Association. “You see a three-year-old with a new heart, and you think, well, that’s kind of important. Me running 10 km and feeling sore is nothing compared with what people have to endure. So for me, anytime I go along and I can spend a bit of money and be involved and see inspiring people. . . that’s worth it every time,” he says. Turner was also compelled to challenge himself after noticing some symmetry in numbers leading up to 2014. He will complete 20 years of sobriety (from alcohol) in July and is set to turn 60 later this month. He viewed completing 100 races as a nice way to round out the numbers. Turner, who proudly picked up a few medal finishes in his age category over the years, is grateful for the support of his family and friends in helping him complete his goal, which he did with time to spare, crossing the finish line in the Phoenix Marathon March 1.With his goal achieved,Turner is showing no signs of stopping. Today he’ll run the BMO Vancouver Marathon’s half-marathon course, the Run For Mercy May 10 at Aldergrove Regional Park, and the Mother Ducky Half May 11 at Burnaby Lake.Then he’ll head to San Diego for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon June 1, followed by local events, including the BlueShore Financial Longest Day Road Race at UBC June 13 and the Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon June 22.

More than just the ‘Elbow Treatment’
Doctors have scientifically proven that if you are being‘treated’at night by getting the elbow to calm your snoring, you need to seek help- not only for yourself but for the sake of your bed partner who is desperate to sleep. The question then is what to do? Many family physicians are in the same position you are. Patients come in to their practices daily with complaints of disruptive snoring or unexplained fatigue. Your physician may not know all the options out there, as some have not been readily available and they want to make sure the treatment they recommend is accessible. Until recently, your family physician had two options: either send you to UBC for a hospital overnight sleep study or send you to a CPAP provider for testing. Both of these options have their drawbacks. The hospital sleep study, although necessary for some, can be more than is needed for most people. It is also inconvenient and disruptiveyou sleep in a foreign environment with wires hooked up everywhere. For the average patient, a Home Sleep Monitor, or Level III study is adequate. Many patients resist going to a CPAP provider for testing as they fear being told they would have to wear a CPAP mask, hose and ventilator for the rest of their life. You only have to look up CPAP to realize it is difficult
to tolerate and hard to travel with. Some research has shown intolerance to CPAP is as high as 70%. These two options of in-lab testing and CPAP treatment have caused many to not even seek out help. Finally there is a new treatment option readily available on the North Shore. Oral Appliances can be an effective, easily tolerated, convenient and a discrete treatment option for any degree of snoring. They are also the recommended treatment for patients with Mild Sleep Apnea, Moderate Sleep Apnea and any patient- even those with Severe Sleep Apnea- who is intolerant of, or refuses to use, a CPAP. This option was not readily available until this year with Dr Sharnell Muir’s opening of her practice in Lynn Valley. “I am very excited to provide this highly effective treatment here on the North Shore,” says Dr. Muir.“The biggest challenge will be to get the word out that it is now available. Patients have been fearful of being forced into wearing a CPAP, even if they don’t have

Severe Sleep Apnea, as that was all that was available for their physicians to offer them”. “As one of only a handful of clinicians who practices solely in the field of Oral Appliance Therapy for Snoring and Sleep Apnea, I provide Level III Home Sleep Monitors to patients and have the results interpreted by a board-certified Sleep Physician. Then I provide all of this information to your family physician. I am able to provide effective treatment for Snoring and Sleep Apnea, with proper medical follow up and am constantly keeping your family physician informed. The systems and protocols I have developed exceed current guidelines and provide an exceptional quality of medical care helping out patients and their physicians”.

North Shore native keeps watchful eye
From her vantage point, Clara Coles has seen it all
read their names,” she says. “Of course, they’re much larger now, the names and the ships. “I’ve seen pretty wild things in the harbour,” Clara says. March 6, 1945, the day the freighter Greenhill Park exploded, is unforgettable. “The tugboats had the nerve to go in and tow the ship. Frank Wright hauled it out through the Narrows and docked it at Siwash Rock.” Clara was born May 6, 1915, at home on Tempe Crescent in North Vancouver. A couple of house moves and 10 years later, in 1925, her father, architect William Bow, built a home for his family on Tempe Crescent. For Clara, the adventure of going “over town” is a vivid memory. Down Lonsdale by streetcar, past the gardens and fruit orchards, past the water troughs set out at intervals for the horses, through the business district and onto the ferry, where her mother
Laura Anderson
Memory Lane
would settle beside a friend for the voyage across the inlet. Some shopping and a stroll to admire the gorgeous seasonal window displays at Spencer’s,Woodward’s and The Bay.They would travel back home the same way, with Clara’s little brother trying to identify his birthday gift from among the mysterious packages. Years later, Clara would drive “over town” with her own children on the Lions Gate Bridge, which opened, unofficially, in 1938, the year that Clara and Bruce married. After four years in Toledo, Ohio, where Bruce worked in the insurance business and Clara “missed the

Despite the wartime housing shortage, a stone cottage turned up for rent on Sentinel Hill. It was an odd place, recalls Clara.
The stairs went through the dining room, the fireplace and oil stove were in the kitchen, and a heater built into a cupboard warmed the upstairs. By 1946, the Coles were living in a new home
on Sentinel Hill, designed by her father.William was associated with Alfred “AJT”Taylor, a far-sighted entrepreneur and a driving force behind the erection See Family page 26 14-0415
When a certain set of lights in a downtownVancouver office building blinked out at the end of the working day, and the distinctive shape and colour of the family car showed up on the Lions Gate Bridge soon after, Clara Coles’ husband, Bruce, was on his way home. As the vehicles crested the high point at mid-span, Bruce Coles and his fellow commuters would shift into neutral and coast down the slope of the bridge.This was during the war years when gas for automobiles was in short supply. Although Clara dismisses her visual acuity, saying “There weren’t that many cars then and it was easy to tell them apart,” her eyesight was sharp. From her vantage point at home on Sentinel Hill, Clara could read the names of the ships as they passed under the Lions Gate Bridge, the CN and Union steamships and later, the Empress liners. “I can still

Rising made easier
Family raised against the backdrop of Lions Gate Bridge From page 25 of the Lions Gate Bridge. Taylor’s offices were in the Marine Building where William converted the building’s observation deck into a residence for the Taylors. Over the years, as the four Coles children grew up, attended Hollyburn and Cedardale schools, and West Vancouver high school, family holidays were passed with swimming, sailing and beachcombing on Galiano Island, the Sunshine Coast and finally, Savary Island.
The home on Sentinel Hill holds books and art created by Clara and Bruce, their children and their friends. A painting in progress is always on the easel in Clara’s studio, where, every Monday for years, she hosted classes in batiking. Paintings, sculpture, wooden bowls and furniture, the bounty of a creative family, is enhanced by the constant backdrop of the Lions Gate Bridge. As always, there is much that requires Clara’s attention: family and friends, her garden, painting
and fitness class, and this month, two anniversaries. Seventy-five years ago, on May 29, 1939, the Lions Gate Bridge was opened officially by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.This weekend, Clara Bow Coles is with family, friends and canine companion, Molly, celebrating an anniversary of her own, her entry into the world 99 years ago, on May 6, 1915.

Family Fun Day @ Britannia Mine Museum
Talk about money with your partner
Saturday, May 10th Come celebrate Mining Week. Plenty of activities and family fun!
Do opposites really attract? Not always when it comes to money matters — as many (and many former) couples have discovered. Some 90 per cent of Canadians want a partner who shares their approach to money, according to an ING Direct survey, which also revealed 87 per cent want to know all about the partner’s income, investments and debt. However, 53 per cent still say managing money causes the most financial stress in the relationship — compared with having children (14 per cent), buying a home (11 per cent) and saving for retirement (10 per cent). About 26 per cent talk about the family’s finances every week, compared with 21 per cent who talk monthly and 28 per cent who talk only when a money issue arises. In the survey, 60 per cent said they are savers and half

Half of the respondents said they would bring up money matters only after five or more dates; 11 per cent ended a relationship for financial reasons. About half of the group had saved on their wedding — half of whom were spenders and half savers.

finances through attending a workshop or counselling program offered by many churches and some community groups — or simply by going online: Google words like “relationship financial issues” and “relationship financial quiz” to get started. Take a quiz separately, then compare answers. I’ve often had one client look at her/his partner and say, “I didn’t know you felt that way” about various personal financial matters. Even in my own relationship every so often my wife Mandy and I would be surprised to find we didn’t feel the same way about a financial objective or plan. Because both your life and also the overall situation change so often, you need to sit down to talk money with your partner on a regular basis.

role in getting the aquarium started. “David Wallace said, ‘Alright, if you can get it over here we’ll accommodate it for a little while but we can’t keep it very long.’We had a small motorboat, which we took across the gulf, and Moby Doll just followed like a dog on a leash.” Burich and Bauer had no difficulty in leading the 4.6-metre, one-tonne killer whale behind their 12-metre boat, but almost nothing was known about the animal and he was still greatly feared by his captors. At this point they weren’t even aware he was male, estimating by his small size that they had a female orca on their hands. He’d get the name Moby Doll from a radio contest that was held during his captivity. “The weather was very good,” says Newman. “It was early July.We went all the way across and we were front-page news in newspapers all around the world. As we approached Vancouver, we were surrounded by boats as though we were an aircraft carrier coming in, with all of this flotilla behind us. And then we got to the dry dock and Moby Doll went right in.” McGeer organized a medical team to look after the injured whale and brought in University of British Columbia’s dean of medicine to get his opinion on what steps they should take. “He said the first thing to do was remove the harpoon line and administer penicillin so that it doesn’t get an infection,” recalls Newman. “Again, we weren’t quite certain about the killer whale, so Mr. Wallace got a crane and Pat and a technician from UBC made up a syringe with a handle eight-feet long or something like that so the whale wouldn’t bite us.” The next day they cut and removed the line, leaving Moby Doll free to swim within the flooded dock. Wallace had made other commitments for his dry dock, requiring them to find a new home for the killer whale. Moby Doll remained at the foot of Lonsdale until July 24 while a new
enclosure was built for him at Jericho Beach. A month later,The Beatles would play their first-ever concert in Canada, across the inlet at Empire Stadium. With help from his friend Air Vice-marshall Leigh “Stevie” Stevenson, Newman approached the military for a temporary housing solution for their catch. “Stevie and I went down there to meet the colonel in charge, Col. Matthews,” he says. “The officers were all bored; they didn’t have enough to do; the war was over; so we suggested that perhaps they could help us with the killer whale. Bill Matthews, the colonel, was a fantastic man and he just loved that idea. He said, ‘Well we’ll just fix up the dock here and we’ll make an enclosure.’ He got all the officers to volunteer as well as naval officers from Esquimalt to come over and in sort of a Biblical way they did the whole thing in six days.” Cates Tugs, neighbours of Burrard Dry Dock on the North Vancouver waterfront, were brought in to help with Moby’s move across the inlet as well, says Newman. “We didn’t have any money and I was the head of this tiny aquarium in the park but Cates provided us with tugboats so that we could tug Moby’s dry dock all the way across the harbour to Jericho. The navy provided a ship that came out with all the dignitaries on it to watch but when it reached Jericho Moby didn’t want to leave the dock to go into the enclosure. “Vince Penfold, who was my assistant and a former naval officer, went in the water with Moby and maybe was the first person to ever swim with a killer whale. Again, we didn’t know what we were doing because nobody had ever tried this before. Eventually Moby went over to the exit of the dry dock and toward the entrance to the new enclosure. Moby went in and Vince came out.” Moby Doll’s docile, accommodating behaviour was in complete contrast to what Newman and his team had been expecting and this made it easier to approach him. “Moby was vocalizing quite a bit,” says
Newman. “Vince got a tape recorder from Esquimalt and we put hydrophones in there so we could listen to the vocalizations as they occurred underwater and then scientists came from all over the place.” Harvard zoologist William Schevill and William A.Watkins, a pioneer in marine mammal bioacoustics, from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts travelled north and made recordings of Moby in his enclosure at Jericho by dangling a hydrophone in front of him as he circled the pen, making clicking sounds. Moby Doll refused to eat anything until they finally decided to try fish — on Sept. 9, almost two months after he had been captured. Up until then the team had tried all kinds of things they thought killer whales would like to eat, with no success. Lingcod and other fish were then suspended from a line inside his pen by Burich. “Sam was the artist, then the harpoonist and finally he became the feeder,” says Newman. “Allan Williams, who was head of the parks department here in West Vancouver, came over and was the first person to feed a killer whale by hand. He happened to be there when we had some fresh salmon, which was what Moby was waiting for.” Despite the best efforts of Newman and his team Moby Doll died on Oct. 9, just 87 days after he’d first been brought into captivity. Healthwise, the killer whale had developed a number of problems but one major contributing factor was thought to be the low saline content of the water near Jericho Beach. Even though Moby Doll only survived for a few months on the Vancouver waterfront, his story marks the start of an extensive body of research into killer whales worldwide. From the beginning, the Vancouver Aquarium has been at the centre of much of this

groundbreaking work and has served as a resource and inspiration for generations of scientists, including John Ford, head of the Department of Fisheries Cetacean Research Program at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo. Ford actually remembers seeing Moby Doll as a boy in the first days after the killer whale arrived at Burrard Dry Dock. “I grew up on the North Shore,” he says. “I was nine when Moby Doll came in.There was quite a crowd — I remember a lot of people went down to view it. My memory’s kind of vague but I do remember seeing Moby at the dry dock and then again at Jericho. It made an impression, that’s for sure. When I was younger, my family had a place out in Sooke, west of Victoria, and we would sometimes see the
killer whales go by while we were salmon fishing. I have vivid memories of them swimming beside the boat and seeing their black and white patterns under the water and being terrified.” Ford attended Hollyburn elementary and West Van High on the North Shore before going on to study at UBC. “During the summers of my undergrad I started working at the Vancouver Aquarium,” he says. “Initially as a floorboy sweeping up after the whale show and then after that first summer, I got involved with the marine mammals in training and feeding them.” While working with the belugas in the early ’70s, Ford became fascinated by the sounds they made, which could be heard in the underwater viewing gallery. He borrowed the same
equipment the aquarium had used to record Moby Doll and studied the beluga sounds on sophisticated acoustic analysis equipment at the Defence Research Establishment Pacific in Victoria.That early research led to fieldwork on narwhals with a Vancouver Aquarium expedition in 1975. Ford became particularly interested in the behaviour and communication of killer whales after learning of the work being done by Michael Bigg and Graeme Ellis at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo. In their studies, using photo identification to understand killer whale populations on the B.C. coast, they discovered that orcas lived in very stable family pods that travelled regular routes while foraging for food.

only could orcas be ID’d individually but they also seemed to hang out with the same group each year. Patterns of behaviour began to emerge. Researchers could study the sounds of different groups of killer whales in the wild and link them to specific behaviours. “You could actually go out on different days and find the same group of whales,” says Ford. “You could record them in different situations and match up sounds with the behaviours of that particular group which is something that really couldn’t be done easily with any wild cetacean prior to that, so that’s what ultimately got me going for my graduate work at UBC, which was all on the dialects of killer whales along the coast and their behaviour and social structure.” Through the pioneering work of Bigg’s Pacific Biological Station and other researchers in B.C. and Washington state in the early ’70s, the world of killer whales began to come into focus. Bigg was originally commissioned by the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans to survey killer whale populations on the coast. This work initiated further research about the animals unavailable when Moby Doll was captured. Bigg, who died of leukemia in 1990, helped the young grad student get started with his fieldwork. “Mike was a real visionary, a very keen and bright scientist,” says Ford. “He was a mentor to me and many of my colleagues because that was just his way. He was really so accommodating and helpful and it was really Mike that allowed me to start working on wild killer whales and doing the acoustics for my graduate work. I needed a boat and he found an old used boat and an old used outboard.This study of killer whales on the coast is Mike’s legacy.We go out and photo-identify the whole population each year — we look after the northern residents and our colleague Ken Balcomb down on San Juan Island focuses more on the southern residents.We work collaboratively.This is the longest continuously running annual census of a population of any species of

Resident killer whales have strong social ties and live in matrilineal family pods, where males and females stay with their mothers throughout their entire lives, even after they have children of their own.The fathers are from other pods and do not live with the group. Transient/Bigg’s killer whales are also organized matrilineally but offspring disperse from their mothers once they reach maturity, especially females once they’ve had calves of their own. More nomadic in nature they roam freely along the West Coast silently looking for prey such as harbour seals, sea lions, porpoises and other whales. Recent genome studies (based on work by scientists such as Lance BarrettLennard, head of Vancouver Aquarium’s Cetacean Research Program) suggest the two ecotypes split off
“The whale was towed into shore and tied briefly to a mooring while an attempt was made to assess its injury. Spectators soon descended on the scene in boats frightening the whale, which swam into a bed of kelp.At this point it became extremely distressed and uttered shrill whistles so intense that they could easily be heard above the surface of the water 100 metres away.” — The Capture and Care of a KillerWhale, Orcinus orca, in British Columbia by Murray A. Newman and Patrick L. McGeer, originally published in Zoologica: NewYork Zoological Society vol. 51, no. 5, 1966.
from a common ancestor at least 700,000 years ago.To the layman’s eye, residents and Bigg’s may look the same but they are completely different in almost everything they do. Bigg’s photoidentification inventory established visual identities for killer whales along the West Coast with Ford’s acoustical analysis giving researchers even more context as to what they were observing in the waters of B.C. and Washington state. “All the populations are acoustically very different,” Ford says. “There’s systems of dialects within the resident populations that seem to encode the identity of the particular pod that a whale belongs to and it learns those dialects, those
calls, when it grows up in the group.” During the summer of 1978, Ford began his graduate fieldwork in Johnstone Strait, in the Robson Bight area, recording all the whales he encountered from what is called the Northern Resident Killer Whale community (consisting of 16 pods in A, G and R clans) and then moved down the coast to the Southern Resident Killer Whale (3 pods: J, K and L in one J clan) group. “I got reasonably familiar with all their sounds,” he says. “Not suspecting there were going to be any significant differences between the different pods, I moved back down to Vancouver and started
working in the fall with the southern residents, intercepting them off the mouth of the Fraser River and around Victoria. The instant I put down the hydrophone it was astonishing how different they sounded.” It was during numerous encounters with the southern residents over a period of years he realized that certain signals were familiar to him from archival material. “I had listened in the past to recordings of Moby Doll and recognized that he must have come from J pod because those particular sounds I only hear when J pod was present. It would be suspected that Moby Doll would have come from a southern resident group because of the way he appeared — his fin shape and all that made it clear he was a resident type. He was captured off Saturna Island, which is very much part of the normal travel route for southern residents from the Gulf Islands to the mouth of the Fraser and back. It was a matter of figuring out which group Moby Doll was from and that relied on those call types.” Killer whales make strident, metallic sounds that are highly distinctive between different groups.
“They are not a whistle, they are actually what we call a burst pulse,” says Ford. “They make whistles as well but the main really intense calls that they use to keep in touch when they are spread out in the ocean foraging over many square kilometres are these particular call types.These are the ones that are learned and are distinctive of a particular matriline.The matriarch and all her living descendants swim together permanently in a group and new pods form gradually by the splitting of these matrilines if the population is growing.The calls seem to diverge after they split and that leads to these dialects at the family level. It gets a little complicated as both the males and the females stay in the matriline for life so the big males, that are in say J pod, they are actually the grown up sons of the females in the group and they mate outside the pod typically and that’s to avoid breeding of close kin.” After ID’ing Moby Doll through acoustic analysis, Ford went on to analyze some other captive killer whales and linked them back to their family pods. Namu, the next killer whale taken in 1965 off the central B.C. coast and exhibited in the Seattle Marine Aquarium, was identified as a member of C pod in the NRKW population, through recordings and photo-identification of Namu’s mother.There was no photographic evidence of Shamu, a killer whale that ended up at San Diego’s SeaWorld, but through acoustic analysis it was determined that Shamu was a relative of Moby Doll and came from J pod. Never a robust population, J clan lost close to a third of its number during the late ’60s and early ’70s to marine park hunters. Of the 133 killer whales captured for public display since 1964, and up until the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 put a stop to it, almost all were from the Pacific Northwest and many of those were from J clan (J, K and L pods) of the SRKW population.There are still 54 killer whales in captivity around the world with the two oldest coming from the North Pacific population: “Corky,” an NRKW female orca born in 1969 from A5 SeeWhale page 31

pod, is at SeaWorld in San Diego; “Lolita,” an SRKW female orca, born in 1970 into L pod, is at Miami’s Seaquarium. A5 pod lost an entire generation of orcas to captivity in the ’70s. L pod was also severely depleted through captures during that time.The majority of killer whales now on display in marine parks are either from the waters off Iceland (such as Tilikum, the orca featured in Blackfish) or were born in captivity. The removal of dozens of whales from the SRKW J clan severely affected the group in the decades following the ’60s. It is estimated there were about 100 killer whales in J clan at the time Moby Doll was captured, while a decade later there were only about 70 in the group.The SRKW clan is the only killer whale population listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and is currently protected under the Endangered Species Act as of 2005. Two calves were born to SRKW in 2012 (J49 and L119), bringing the total number of orcas in the group to 80 (J pod has 25 members; K pod has 19; and L pod has 36).Tasli Shaw, a student studying illustration at Emily Carr University of Art and Design and a whale-watching guide with Steveston Seabreeze Adventures, was on the water when J49 was born on Aug. 6, 2012 and created an illustration, The Birth of J49, to commemorate the occasion. “All of the southern resident killer whales — that’s J, K and L pods — had been absent from the Salish Sea for I think it was eight straight days,” says Shaw. “I came to work thinking it was going to be another day where there were no southern residents, which is always kind of tough; it’s the middle of the summer and they’re usually there every day so it’s weird that they’re all gone. I came into work, turned on the hydrophones and I could hear them talking off of San Juan Island.They were all back.” Shaw went out with a group for the morning trip and saw all three pods together making their way north. Later on around two o’clock, back out on the water with a second boat, they could see the whales had split up. Most of them

I could barely make out something that was really tiny so I got out the binoculars and lo and behold they were lifting J49 out of the water.The whole extended family. J2, Granny (the 103-year-old matriarch) was there — J49 is actually Granny’s great, great grandson.They were all there and I try not to anthropomorphize them too much because it’s really easy to do.There was some sort of excitement and it was amazing. J49 was so young at that point, it was only about two hours old.The mother, J37, “Hy’shqa,” broke off from all the other whales for awhile by herself and gave birth and then she came back to her mother and Granny and they started this celebration. J49 was born in Haro Strait, just off of Turn Point, and then when we saw them they were just a little north of that in Boundary Pass. You can see East Point from there.” Joe Bauer from Moby Doll’s collection team just happened to be in the office on the day five years ago when Shaw had her job interview at Seabreeze. “My boss Kathy said, ‘Hey, this is Joe; he was present at the capture of Moby Doll,’ and my jaw just kind of hit the floor — that’s such an important moment
in orca history.” The whale-watching season begins April 1 but Shaw didn’t see any her first time out on the water this year. “We work together with all the other companies and so we get pretty good coverage across the Salish Sea. It’s different every day. Typically we are looking in the Gulf Islands and then the Gulf of Georgia but if one of the other boats find something further south like in the San Juan Islands, that’s where we’ll go.” Shaw sometimes starts an illustration immediately after coming off the water and her artwork includes meticulous information about her subject matter. “When I’m sketching them out I will go through my own photographs or go online and try and find images of the whales’ eye-patches to make sure they are accurate. Every orca’s face looks different, basically, and I want to represent them as accurately as I can.” Working with Steveston Seabreeze Adventures she has witnessed significant changes in the SRKW population during her time observing them. “Historically, J pod has travelled together as one group and it’s only been in the last couple of years that they’ve started to split into two groups, which we’ve called Group A and Group B. Granny’s part of Group A and they will spend time apart and then they will come back together, which wasn’t really observed prior to a couple of years ago. That logic would suggest
that Granny was there when Moby Doll was crossing East Point.” If Moby Doll had survived longer, the Vancouver Aquarium would have needed to find another home for him as Jericho was not available as a long-term
solution. Once they had completed their expansion plans a few years later, the Stanley Park facility did have room for bigger fish. They acquired a couple of dolphins, and a killer whale was purchased from Seattle Marine Aquarium owner Ted Griffin. A 14-foot southern resident female orca caught by Griffin arrived in Vancouver in the spring of 1967 as part of a boat show. “At the end of that,Ted made it available to the Vancouver
Aquarium,” says Newman. “Our board was uncertain about this but then they decided that this would be an important thing to do to have a killer whale so that everybody could see it. And that whale became known as Skana.We had a contest for the name and that was the beginning of our activities with regards to killer whales. Moby Doll was really the beginning of consistent research into these animals along the coast.”

Back from a whirlwind trip to the Okanagan and Similkameen, I am yet again amazed by the changes taking place at every turn. While the challenge of shaping sub-appellations grinds along with eventuality, it seems (almost by serendipity) the smaller regions are already emerging with their own identity. In 2011 the south valley wineries decided to abandon their namesake South Okanagan Wineries Association and go it alone as Oliver-Osoyoos, excluding their neighbours to the north in Okanagan Falls. Interestingly, the result has been a coalescence among the Okanagan Falls group, who’ve since formed their own Okanagan Falls Wineries Association (OFWA), with wineries from Penticton to Vaseaux Lake. In doing so they’ve brought more attention to the very distinct differences in terroir and geography between their region and the south valley, separated by influential McIntyre Bluff. For the most part these are a potent group of formidable, often pioneering, producers including the likes of Blue Mountain, Meyer Family Vineyards, Painted Rock, Stag’s Hollow,Wild Goose, and others. Also here is rising star Synchromesh, owned by Alan and Amy Dickinson, whose Rieslings are garnering plenty of well-deserved attention, including from the likes of Stuart Piggott, arguably the wine world’s leading Riesling authority, who called their 2012 Storm Haven “the most extraordinary
Tim Pawsey
Notable Potables Bladerunner Riesling I’ve tasted in a long time.” (I’d agree: we picked the 2011 as a BC Lieutenant Governor’s Award Winner.) “Bladerunner” is the term Piggott uses to describe the style of high-acidity, lowalcohol, unapologetically dry Rieslings being made in some corners of the world, including the Okanagan/Similkameen (think Tantalus, CedarCreek Platinum, Little Farm, and so on.) Such accolades are key in the ongoing broader validation of Riesling, which has had a long, hard climb to acceptance in a mass market too long driven by sweeter styles, which is still abysmally the case when it comes to reds and marketers’ preoccupation with debasing wine to the level of Coca Cola. You’ll also want to be tracking down the superb, mineral-driven 2013 Storm Haven, which even now is showing extraordinary complexity, with tropical and citrus notes wrapped in keen acidity, with some honeyed notes and formidable length that will no doubt continue to develop ($31.90, 92 points). Dickinson is in the process of building a tasting room to replace his small,
original space that competes on the Lilliput scale with Painted Rock’s starter. When touring, regardless of where you taste, both Synchromesh and Meyer are two wineries not to be missed. Just to the south, still within OFWA, Liquidity Wines has opened what’s sure to become a destination room that, once again, will raise the Okanagan wine touring bar much in the same way that others have, such as Quails’ Gate, Tinhorn Creek, Hester Creek, Burrowing Owl and so on. Liquidity offers a stunning setting, with sweeping mountain vistas, an all-white interior (to set off the art), spacious, airy tasting bar and a contemporary styled bistro in the hands of chef Rob Walker (The Cove, Westbank.). Production here is still relatively limited but promising signs abound, from a tropical-and-orange, forward-tangerine-toned Viognier 2013 (89 points), to an excellent dry Rosé (made from rarely planted Dornfelder) that sports good fruit-acid balance, with strawberry, citrus and pomegranate (90 points) Only at the winery.

Designate a tranquil spot for your dog My German shepherd just had her 12th birthday. Zumi and I have been through a lot together over the last dozen years. She has been a puppy ambassador, my demo dog for obedience and tracking classes, my sidekick when I did a few TV appearances and, of course, my constant companion who protects me from everything from charging bulls to jumping spiders. Even in her senior years she is still the first one out the door in the morning and always finds a stick or ball for me to throw. But her hips are not her friends these days. After a good walk she spends a lot of

time finding comfortable places to rest. I really don’t like asking her to move once she has gotten comfortable. It takes such effort for her to get up and move and she is getting a bit cranky. So I kind of let sleeping dogs lie.
I have always believed that dogs should be given a place that they can call their own. A place they feel secure they won’t get stepped on, shoved aside or told to move. A place they can sleep without chaotic activity waking them up before they get a chance to close one eye. A place that is quiet enough they can listen to the activity around them without being disturbed by it. Dogs, just like humans, need quiet time now and then to rejuvenate and rest. Dogs that live in a busy household with kids and friends coming and going and constant activity around them can get stressed

and cranky. Dogs that are older, tire more quickly or have the aches and pains of arthritis, inflammation or other health issues are often uncomfortable and therefore easily irritated and less tolerant of constant noise and activity around them.Young dogs and puppies who are struggling with impulse control issues, or who become overstimulated very quickly, need a time out spot to calm down. It’s easy to overlook our dogs and not consider the fact that they may be stressed in certain situations. If you experience feelings of impatience or stress in any given environment you can guarantee that your dog is feeling the same way to some degree. But since most dogs are very stoic with their emotions of discomfort, their needs often go unnoticed. It’s easy to recognize when our dogs are happy as they freely
express joy and affection. When it comes to stress or fear, they can sometimes hide those emotions and look relatively calm on the exterior, but inside there is a raging stress battle going on. Heavy panting and pacing are two clear signs that your dog may be stressed.They may act unusually clingy, start pawing, shiver or jump. Some dogs may even begin compulsive behaviours like licking or drinking water excessively. And then there are dogs that simply do nothing, or that look like they are doing nothing, but their bodies are tense and ready to react at any second. In the home, a time out spot can be anywhere away from activity, loud noise and people. A crate in a room not often used, such as an extra bedroom, den or home office, is ideal. If a crate is used the door of the crate can be shut so the dog feels safe and humans can’t
reach in and bother it, but the door to the room can be left open.This way the dog can observe and hear what is going on and still feel included in the pack, but not right in the thick of things. If a crate is not used, then a comfortable bed for the dog to rest on in a quiet part of the home with a closed door will do. If the room or crate is left open, often a dog will give itself a time out when it learns it won’t be bothered in that spot and needs a quiet place to rest.When the dog has regained its composure or has rested adequately it will join the group on its own. We all need a little Zen time now and then — even our faithful companions. Joan Klucha has been working with dogs for more than 15 years in obedience, tracking and behavioural rehabilitation.

A four-legged resident of North Vancouver and her proud owner will be representing Canada at two different international dog agility competitions this month. Four-year-old Chili, a red merle border collie, and her owner Wendy Anderson, have qualified to compete in the IFCS World Agility Championships in the Netherlands May 7 to 11, followed by the World Agility Open Championships in Italy May 16 to 18. This marks the first time the pair have travelled overseas for an agility event. “I wasn’t really expecting to qualify this year, so we’re quite excited about it,” Anderson says, explaining Chili is on the young side for this level of competition. “She’s a bit of a wild child. I wasn’t sure I’d get there with her because, let’s just say, she’s very exuberant, but she’s turned into a great little dog.” Anderson, a professional dog trainer with DogWorks Training, has other pooches at home who she has taken to Canadian and North American competitions. Since this is her first time competing in Europe,

Hawks soar up draft board
Three players from same NSWC team taken top five in WHL draft ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com
The WHL may need to reaffirm that the W in its name stands for “Western” and not “Winterhawks” following the league’s bantam draft held Thursday and Friday. Three of the top five picks in this year’s Western Hockey League draft played for the same North Shore Winter Club bantam A1 Winterhawks team this season. All told, seven players from that Winterhawks team — winners of this year’s Western Canadian Bantam Championships — were taken in the draft, all going in the first seven rounds. “I’m just thrilled for them,” said Jim Dinwoodie, the team’s head coach. “They’re just great young men, they really are exceptional young people.
We’ve spent two years together so we know each other really well.They’re just great kids and I know they must just be thrilled today.” Team captain Jordy Bellerive was the first Winterhawk to be picked, the 15-year-old centre from North Vancouver going second overall to the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Bellerive was at home watching the draft unfold online and he knew not to take his eyes off the screen once his name popped up lest he miss his teammates getting their due. He didn’t have to wait long. North Vancouver’s Nolan Kneen, the first defenceman drafted, went third overall to the Kamloops Blazers while forward Justin Almeida, a Kitimat native, was picked fifth by the Prince George Cougars. “They’re both great players, I knew that they
wouldn’t be far behind me,” Bellerive said. “It was great to see those guys picked so high. It’s definitely something amazing — I guess our coach is doing something right.” Other Winterhawks getting the call included defenceman Conner McDonald in the second round, 24th overall to the Kamloops Blazers; goaltender Dorin Luding in the third round, 66th overall to the Kelowna Rockets (traded to Saskatoon); goaltender David Tendeck in the sixth round, 130th overall to the Edmonton Oil Kings (traded to Vancouver); and centre Brett Stapley in the seventh round, 151st overall to the Calgary Hitmen. Two Hollyburn Country Club players also had their names called as defenceman Jake Christiansen went
in the fifth round, 105th overall to the Medicine Hat Tigers (traded to Everett) and centre Kyle Kaufmann went in the eighth round, 171st overall to Medicine Hat. The big story, however, was all the Winterhawks flying off the board.The success of the team and its players may very well stem from heartbreak the club suffered last season. In 2013, with a team made up of mostly first-year bantam players, the Winterhawks battled all the way to the final of the Western Canadian championships but fell one win short of gold.That loss stuck with them as they went through a remarkable 2013-14 season, winning 68 of the 72 games they played while allowing an average of less than one goal per game. “It was disappointing obviously making it that far and just coming up a little bit short,” Bellerive said of the ‘Hawks loss last year. “It was always in the back of our heads, wherever we went, whatever we were
doing. It was really the main thought for us because we didn’t want to feel that same way again.” Dinwoodie said he used it as motivation for the team this year. “I poked them with that fact as we went along this season. I said we know what those tears are like, we know how close we were.We looked at each other at the end of it and we said we’re coming back.” They did make it all the way back and they did gain full redemption by claiming the title, although it was far from a sure thing. In this year’s Western Canadian final the ‘Hawks jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead over the Lloydminster Heat and then carried a 3-2 lead into the dying moments of the game, but the Alberta champs scored with just 12 seconds left to send it into overtime. “We were dominating that game, we gave up a late goal and lesser teams would have crumbled and probably lost that game,” said Dinwoodie. “But that See Seven page 35

team had resilience and resolve.They didn’t panic, they looked at each other and said let’s go to overtime and get the next one.” One overtime period passed with no score but in the second overtime Kneen pounced on a loose puck and pounded in the championship winning goal. “It was a perfect ending,” said Bellerive. The recent draft results prove that the team had a lot of talent, but that championship win proved something more, said Dinwoodie. “You can have all that talent but you know what? It doesn’t guarantee that you’ll win anything,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of talent at the North Shore Winter Club over the years.This type of team only comes around once in a while. They all bought in, they played hard for each other and played for the right reasons, and that’s why they were successful. . . .What a wonderful memory. I keep telling them over and over: this is something you’ll take
with you for life. It’s bonded you for life and you will talk about this for life. It was pretty special.” Jeff Oldenborger, the Winter Club’s director of hockey operations, said that all of the boys likely helped each other climb the draft board because of the success they had as a team. “It’s kind of a circular argument,” he said. “When the team starts to succeed more and then goes deeper into the playoffs and wins things like provincials and the westerns, their stock only goes up because now they’ve played in those big games and scouts and teams have seen them in those big games. . . . Individually they’re all very good but it was the success of the team at the end of the day that ended up pushing those kids higher and higher in the draft.” Placing three players from one team in the top five of the draft may be unprecedented.WHL teams put a lot of work into scouting those top picks on and off the ice, said Dinwoodie. “These are franchise guys, guys that
they see in long-term plans for them, so they’re pretty careful.” Bellerive, the captain, has always been out front. He put together a stellar season, notching 76 goals and 82 assists despite missing the first seven weeks of the season with a bad case of mononucleosis. “Jordy is a special player,” said Dinwoodie. “He from a young age has been a dominant player. He really epitomizes leadership — he’s a true leader, but an exceptional talent.When you see him play you’ll first be blown away by how hard he can shoot the puck. That’s easy to see. I think it’s what he does off the ice, his will to win, his competitive nature is just unbelievable. . . . Physically he’s a big kid, an imposing player, but a real competitive kid. Just a strong, strong will to play and compete. It’s not just raw talent — because there’s no denying that — but it’s everything else.The way he practices is the other thing that really makes him special. He loves to practice and he loves to compete in practice.”
Dinwoodie described Kneen, the overtime hero, as a talented skater with a bit of an edge. “What really got him noticed was that the tougher the game, the better he played.That’s a rare, rare quality to have. He loved the big moments.” Almeida, meanwhile, packed a formidable 1-2 punch with Bellerive, his linemate for the past several years. “Justin is sneaky good, that’s the best way to describe him,” said Dinwoodie. “He’s not a physically imposing player, he never will be nor ever should be, but just incredibly smart. His hockey IQ is his weapon: he thinks, reads and anticipates well ahead of players his age. It’s funny to watch people process him over time: ‘Yeah, he’s pretty good. No, he’s really good. Holy crap, he is amazing.’” The Winterhawks windfall can be attributed to a number of things, including the ample ice time and professional-style training that the kids get as members of the Winter Club.

I think that was probably the biggest impact.” Oldenborger also tipped his hat to the coaches, noting that they work on honing the kids as people, not just players
— something that comes into play when WHL teams are making draft picks. “The program that Jim is running here really teaches these young men that it’s not good enough just to be a really good hockey player. Jim really excels at the development of the character as well as the development of the hockey player,” he said. “All of them are exceptional guys. I think we’ve got to tip our hat to Jim and the way he runs that Bantam A1 team.That’s a byproduct of the kind of program he runs.”
