What’s in a name — the A-Z of ballots Alphabetized ballot could sway low info voters, analyst says BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Everyone knows running for politics is about trading on a good name. It turns out, however, some names are inherently

better than others, particularly if they start with letters at the beginning or end of the alphabet. City of North Vancouver council voted last month to use an alphabetized

ballot in this November’s municipal election, which critics on and off council say gives some candidates an unfair advantage. The motion passed with the support of ﬁve council members whose surnames begin with the letters B (three of them),C and H. Council’s K and M members voted against. Arguments in favour of

an A-B-C ballot included that it is more logical, more traditional and that it is easier to ﬁnd candidates’ names. Also in favour of keeping the status quo, was the argument that council should be focused on prioritizing campaign ﬁnance reform if it is truly interested in promoting fairness. The District of West

Vancouver uses an alphabetized ballot while the District of North Vancouver now uses a randomized one, having switched back and forth in 1996 and 2002. “While there’s some controversy around the extent of the effects, there clearly is an effect,” said David Moscrop, a PhD candidate at the University

of British Columbia who studies the psychology of political judgment. With a real or perceived pressure to do one’s civic duty and vote on election day, people who haven’t been paying attention (or reading their local newspaper) ﬁnd themselves in the ballot booth not See California page 9

E. coli has managed to ﬁnd its way into ruining the fun for a fewWestVancouver beaches, according to a recent warning issued by Vancouver Coastal Health. An advisory was issued Thursday due to the level of bacteria in the water at Ambleside, Dundarave and Sandy Cove beaches in West Vancouver, which are higher than the allowable 200 E. coli per 100 milimetres. The health authority’s swimming advisory stipulates that any water-related fun at the beach isn’t a good idea, which means activity where the body, face or trunk are getting wet and water is likely to be swallowed. This includes swimming, waterskiing and surﬁng. Vancouver Coastal Health said it does not know why the E. coli count is so high, but there are a number

Notice of Alternative Approval Process Park Dedication Removal Bylaw 8076, 2014 (Portion of Bridgman and Seylynn Parks) What:

Alternative Approval Process for Park Dedication Removal Bylaw 8076, 2014.

When:

Deadline for submission of elector response forms is 4 pm Friday, August 29, 2014.

Where:

Elector response forms may be picked up from the District Hall or dnv.org/aap. Elector response forms must be returned to the District Hall by the deadline.

See this notice to the left? The Keith Road Bridge project will replace the current 70-year-old bridge with a newer structure that can handle more traffic, will be safer for pedestrians and cyclists, and will better manage storm water runoff and protect the salmon-bearing creek. As part of the construction, Keith Road west of the current bridge will have to be widened to line up with the new, wider bridge. This means the District will need to remove a narrow strip of embankment land from Bridgman Park, along the curb on the south side of Keith Road.

Site Map

It is important to note that a piece of land north of the roadway which is greater than that being removed south of the roadway is being rezoned to park status as What is it?

The District of North Vancouver intends to adopt Park Dedication Removal Bylaw 8076, 2014. This bylaw proposes to remove the dedication for park and recreation purposes, as set out in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Park and Recreation Lands Reserve Bylaw 1978 (Bylaw 5026)â&#x20AC;?, from a 0.355 hectare portion of Bridgman and Seylynn Parks as shown on the plan above. The portion of land removed from the parks will be used to accommodate the expansion of the Keith Road Bridge and associated works.

How can I comment? Council may adopt Park Dedication Removal Bylaw 8076, 2014 unless at least 10% of the electors of the entire District of North Vancouver sign elector response forms and submit them to the District by the deadline of 4 pm Friday, August 29, 2014. If at least 10% of the electors sign and submit elector response forms by the deadline, Council may not adopt the bylaw unless the assent of the electors is then obtained (a referendum). The District estimates that 6,045 is the number of electors who must submit signed elector response forms in order to prevent Council from adopting the bylaw without the assent of the electors. Elector response forms must be in the form established by the District of North Vancouver. These forms are available on request at the District Hall or may be obtained by visiting the District web site at www.dnv.org/aap. Forms may be submitted in person at the District Hall, by mail (355 West Queens Road, North Vancouver, BC V7N 4N5), or by email to gordonja@dnv.org. The only persons entitled to sign the forms are electors of the District of North Vancouver. Need more info?

Copies of the proposed bylaw and related documents are available for public inspection at the District Hall, office of the Municipal Clerk, during regular business hours.

Who can I speak to? For more information on Park Dedication Removal Bylaw 8076, 2014 or this alternative approval process, please contact James Gordon, Municipal Clerk, at 604-990-2207 or gordonja@dnv.org.

replacement park land.

Under the Community Charter the District cannot remove a park dedication without the approval of the electors.

If you wish to object

to the removal of this land from the park, you must file a response form, found on our web site or available in hard copy at District Hall. The plans for the new bridge are closely aligned with the Seylynn and Bridgman Parks Revitalization Plan and it should be noted that

any trees removed will be replaced at a 3 to 1 ratio,

meaning three trees will be planted for each one removed.

Kia moves for new condos

Dealership clears way for ﬁve storeys at 725 Marine BRENT RICHTER bricther@nsnews.com

It was a game of musical developments at City of North Vancouver council Monday night as council members voted to approve a new home for North Shore Kia dealership and a condo building to go in its place. The joint bid between the Dick Irwin Group, which owns North Shore Kia, and Darwin Properties will see the dealership moved to a 43,500-square-foot home at 843-855 West First St., just above the Northshore Auto Mall. The land is currently home to an auto shop and overﬂow parking for auto dealerships. Making the move would allow the company to better serve clients as well as hire more staff, the owners said in their pitch to council. Once the Korean autos are moved out, the building at 725 Marine

The developer had previously come to council with a bid to build a sixstorey tower on the site but was told to come back with something smaller. The building approved by council Monday night fits within the official community plan limits for density. Council members praised the project for achieving the longstanding goal of getting the last car dealerships off

Marine Drive as well as for its design. “I think (the architects) have done a very good job with this. I think it’s the right place for this type of density. There’s shopping just to the west of this . . . and the connections to the Spirit Trail are fantastic,” said Mayor Darrell Mussatto, noting it will be a very quick walk or cycle to Lonsdale Quay. The expected cost for a 700-square-foot unit is $350,000, according to the developer. Though she spoke highly of its design, Coun. Pam Bookham

Wild kingdom at play on waterfront BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Life on the North Shore often ends up looking like a scene from a David Attenborough documentary. That was the case for North Vancouver resident Debbie Martin who witnessed the struggle between life and death play out as she enjoyed a summer evening on the waterfront July 13. Martin watched and snapped photos as a harbour seal gave birth to a pup aboard a ﬂoat at Mosquito

Creek Marina and then come under attack by a bald eagle. “The eagle was harassing the mom, trying to get to the afterbirth or trying to get to the baby.The mom was there tapping the baby and shufﬂing the baby around trying to keep the eagle away from it,” Martin said. After an hour and a half of putting up with the bombardment, the mom went into the water and the pup followed.The eagle was left to eat the afterbirth and Martin went home to tend to her own young. “They’re big enough now,

Council held backto-back public hearings for joint projects prior to the vote, both of which drew mainly supporters connected to the businesses. A handful of residents from neighbouring midrises did turn up to voice concern over the building’s height. Most of the mixed-use buildings on Marine Drive are four storeys.

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.

Sugar coated

n Tuesday, the federal government announced proposed changes to food labelling with an aim for us to make healthier choices at the supermarket. The proposed changes would make it easier for us to read those labels, Health Canada says, and include tweaks to the Nutrition Facts table, ingredients list and Daily Values on food labels, as well as a nudge to suppliers of similar food products to use consistent serving sizes for the nutrition info on those labels. Health Canada is hoping that if and when these changes go into effect, busy parents will look twice before grabbing for the Fruit Loops. That’s because the new labels would have sugars grouped together and nutrition info would be presented more clearly. The Canadian Diabetes Association

MAILBOX

applauds the ministry’s efforts. So does Dietitians of Canada. And while we, too, applaud the effort, we think it’s important to note that healthy choices start before we wheel our shopping cart down the grocerystore aisle. It starts with meal planning and cooking from scratch rather than graband-go meals from a fast food outlet. It starts with walking to the corner grocer for a carton of milk instead of taking the car. It starts with sending our kids to the park to play rather than allowing endless hours of screen time indoors. Easier-to-read food labels are good. But costly consultations, policy papers and regulations won’t end obesity or curtail the continued rise of diabetes. Healthy choices start with changing what has become for all of us a culture of convenience.

Keith Bridge needs protected bike lanes Dear Editor: Your article from July 2 about the new Keith Bridge across Lynn Creek mentioned that bicycle advocacy groups have been lobbying for a wider bridge to allow for protected bike lanes. While HUB: Your Cycling Connection favours separation of bikes and vehicles on arterial streets to improve

cyclist safety and increase trips by bike, we are not asking for a wider bridge design. HUB is working with the District of North Vancouver to ensure protected bike lanes can ﬁt within their proposed bridge width. The Keith Bridge design originally proposed by the district includes minimum-width, painted

bike lanes on a road that will have more vehicle lanes than the adjacent Highway 1 bridge. Painted bike lanes on arterial roads are a step in the right direction, but to really reduce trafﬁc, we need streets that are safe enough for everyone to bike, from children to seniors and everybody in between. Protected bike

lanes encourage ridership, reduce conﬂict between all road users and help keep cyclists off sidewalks. For this reason, HUB proposes a protected, two-way bike lane on the south side of Keith Road and the bridge. The new Keith Road Bridge will be built to last up to 100 years. It would be very short-

sighted not to include safe cycling facilities on this expensive piece of new infrastructure. If we do not design safe cycling and pedestrian facilities in and around the new town centres where many more people will live and shop, we can look forward to more congestion, not less. Antje Wahl North Vancouver

Not everybody wants a stream on their property Dear Editor: Sylvia Taylor wrote a letter regarding the tax increases to which Mayor Richard Walton replied, saying the increases were only 2.5 per cent. My tax increase was 20 per

cent. Could I please get a refund of 17.5 per cent differential? I contacted Ralph Sultan, who sent me a nice hand-written note with an attached email copy of the objection that he sent

CONTACTUS

to the minister of ﬁnance. I believe Simon and Garfunkel wrote a hit song called “The Sounds of Silence.” The main cause was the province reducing the home owner grant. The timing was also

wonderful as the period had passed when we could question our assessment. They have also passed riparian laws that effectively remove 7,000 square feet from our property as they

acquired 15 metres on each side of our stream without compensation. The assessment people, when I protested, said “everybody wants a stream.” Malcolm Barnes North Vancouver

VIEWPOINT

Holding tight to ﬁction of a European Canada First is at it again, in West Vancouver, protesting bus shelter signage that is, advertising bought by private actors for commercial purposes with no taxpayer involvement. So the argument has moved for Saltzberg to the spread of non-English signage as “undermin(ing) ‘traditional English and French Canadian identity.’” Perhaps even more insulting than the concerned taxpayer approach, this newest argument demonstrates a hysterical blindness toward Canada’s history, erases First Nations and aboriginal narratives, and reimagines this land as born when White Europeans came to town. There is, in fact, nothing traditional about the role of Europeans in Canada, and the suggestion that there ever was undermines the history Europeans have long attempted to erase while at the same time claiming a kind of primacy, an

ethnonationalism through which certain Canadians can be made less so, can be othered, and can be rendered outside of this new narrative of a Canada that ignores both past and present. As Saltzberg crows at the end of a North Shore News interview, “I’m proud to say I’ve never believed in

Xenophobe Brad Saltzberg has been on a bit of a media tear lately, as spokesperson for what can only be called a hate group for modern times, Putting Canada First. Saltzberg and his cronies are largely dismissed by city councils and mainstream news media, but I would argue we need to take this group seriously as dangerously divisive and hateful.We should ﬁnd their invocation of “Canada” and “European Canada” to be disturbing and hateful for the ﬁctions such terms attempt to make of our multicultural, settler society. Putting Canada First has powerfully worked to align the narrative of our hard-earned tax dollars to that of the greedy migrant. Saltzberg’s interviews attempt a dispassionate view of multiculturalism veiled as a waste of taxpayer resources, telling a Shaw

TV interviewer last month that cultural groups should stop seeking funding from government for events that celebrate diversity and culture. He was a bit tighter lipped on funding for Christian and Jewish education, so presumably those are OK? And when an immigrant resettlement centre was found to be posting signs in predominately Chinese Richmond for a predominately Chinese migrant population, Saltzberg and Putting Canada First deployed the taxpayer access argument again to ensure that services designed to help new Canadians — those who would be least comfortable speaking or reading in an ofﬁcial language — be written in English. It is unclear who wins here when an immigrant social services agency is forced to make its services less accessible to those who need them the most. Today, Putting Canada

Campers hoping to bask by the fire and roast s’mores this summer may be out of luck. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations announced on Wednesday that all open burning fires would be prohibited, effective Thursday, in all areas of the Coastal Fire Centre, including the Pemberton Zone that encompasses both Porteau Cove and Alice Lake provincial campgrounds. The only exceptions from the ban are the “fog zone” and Haida Gwaii. The ban applies to campfires and open burning of any size, including fires with a burn registration number and industrial burning, as well as the

CSA-rated or ULC-rated cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or portable campfires that use briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, are allowed as long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres. The ministry stated in the release that the ban is being implemented to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety.The fire

danger rating is currently “high” throughout most of the Coastal Fire Centre, with scattered pockets of “extreme,” and with the current trend of warm and dry weather, as well as lightning-caused wildfires in the region, human-caused wildfires can divert critical resources and crews needed to fight naturally occurring wildfires. The prohibition covers all B.C. parks, Crown lands and private lands, but does not apply within

the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by fire departments.The ministry is urging the public to check with local governments for any other restrictions before lighting a fire. Anyone found violating the open fire ban could face a $345 ticket, or if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the violation causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person could face a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. The Coastal Fire Centre covers the area west of the height of land on the Coast Mountain Range from the U.S.-Canada border at Manning Park, including South Tweedsmuir Park in the north, the Sunshine Coast, the Lower Mainland, all of Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and Haida Gwaii.

California ballots randomized by law From page 1

knowing much about the candidates or the issues. Such “low information voters” tend to start looking for other cues to help them make up their minds, Moscrop said. “It really matters for municipal politics because that’s where people are the least invested. . . . You can actually see in the studies, the less information somebody has, the more likely they are to rely on something like ballot order,” Moscrop said. “The way that our brains are wired, we pay more attention to things that appear ﬁrst or last and

less attention to stuff in the middle.” The ballot order effect is notoriously hard to study because there is no way of knowing the exact thoughts of a person as he or she casts a ballot. But there is some data from California, where all ballots have been randomized by law since the 1970s, that conﬁrms a bump in the ﬁnal polls. In a tight race, the “two or three per cent” advantage, depending on which studies you believe, could make the difference of who is elected and who is not, though Moscrop stressed there haven’t been proven cases of that.

And the order of names on the ballot is only one thing that may sway voters that probably shouldn’t. “Beauty, in the long run, is way more signiﬁcant than what your name is. If anything, we should put bags on people’s heads if you want to be fair,” Moscrop said. “The silver bullet when it come to this stuff is ﬁnding ways to motivate people to consider what they’re doing.” Still, Moscrop noted that switching to a randomized ballot costs virtually nothing and takes very little effort on the part of municipal staff so there is really no drawback to going random.

JonathanWalker is a strong believer in the power people have to make positive change. The 24-year-old West Vancouver man recently completed a 1,500-kilometre journey, Running for Great Hope, travelling from Hope to Saskatoon by foot and by bike, as a means of raising funds for a permanent educational centre for displaced children of a community school in Nairobi, Kenya. While the trip is over, Walker’s long-term campaign to support the school, which he’s been working with since 2012, is not, and he remains committed to helping the students, teachers and administration get the support they need. Walker’s introduction to the school, the Great Hope Educational Centre, located in the slum community of Kayole, came as a result of his work with the Directorate of Agencies for School Health (DASH) B.C.

from human geography at the University of British Columbia, just moved to Prague, Czech Republic, to teach English. One of his contacts was with the Great Hope Educational Centre and he got involved doing some community development work there, including a photography project.

Adventure cycling is when you get on your mountain bike with way too much gear and try riding over mountains on dirt roads, or trails if you’re really nuts. The Adventure Cycling Association in the United States has created an adventure trail, the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, that runs from Banff to Mexico and follows the continental divide.This spring, one of us Pedal Pushers, Heather, and her sister decided to try a section from Lordsburg, New Mexico, north to Santa Fe. Experienced outdoorspeople, they made every mistake in the book. But, they had a great adventure. They rode the right machines for the job: a 29er and a 650b — both with front suspension and a million gears.They packed them into bike boxes and put them on the plane.When they got to Tucson, Ariz., they switched to Greyhound. That was their ﬁrst mistake. The bus they were on to Lordsburg didn’t have room for the bikes. But, the helpful

Pedal Pushers

Greyhound guy said he would put them on the next bus.Three days later, they received their bikes, which had somehow gone to El Paso and then to Phoenix instead of Lordsburg.The bikes covered more miles without them. Finally they got going, taking a shuttle up to Silver City.They had planned to spend the next three days in the Gila National Forest following the divide, so they bought propane for the stove, food, and filled up with water.They also had a tiny tent, sleeping bags, pots and some clothes. After the first day, they realized they were not moving as quickly as planned.That was their second mistake. Somehow those 50 miles per day they’d planned on turned into 25 miles. Maybe it was the 4,000-foot climb and the altitude being more than 8,000 feet on average. Or, it could have been the 35 C heat. Or, the extreme grades. At camp that first night they realized there was no

way they had enough food for the six days it would take them to cross the forest to the next store. So, they strolled over to the two other campers in the site and asked them for food.They were very accommodating and gave them an apple, two bananas, some mountain mix and two Clif bars. Their generosity gave them hope.Then, they decided to make dinner and tried the stove. Unfortunately, they discovered their stove head took only Primus-style canisters of butane.That was their third mistake. Undaunted, they lit a fire and cooked over it — even though there was an extreme fire warning rating since the forest had not seen rain for more than six months.The weird thing about America is that having a fire while camping is one of their civil rights. Sated, they turned in around 7 p.m. and didn’t rise for 12 hours. It was two degrees when they exited the tent.Two hours later it was 28 C. By 3 p.m., while they pushed their overly burdened bikes See Important page 14

Is your Thyroid to blame? Have you ever wondered why some individuals are able to lose weight with diet and exercise, and other individuals cannot lose weight despite a disciplined program? Are you experiencing thinning hair, loss of lateral third of the eyebrows, mental fogginess and low sex drive? Have you had a good metabolism all of your life, and with menopause noticed weight gain around your midsection? Your thyroid may be to blame. But what if your thyroid tests appear normal?

What can cause low thyroid function? Chronic stress, as well as unbalanced hormone levels, can decrease the production of circulating hormone levels. High cortisol levels (stress hormones) can cause high levels of reverse T3, a hormone that binds to thyroid receptors and makes them less efficient. Low levels of the hormone progesterone can cause a decreased production of active thyroid hormone. This hormone typically will decrease with fluctuations in hormone levels leading up to menopause.

The standard blood test for thyroid function is called TSH, or thyroid stimulating hormone. This is a measure of how hard your thyroid gland is working to produce thyroid hormone. It is possible, however, for the TSH levels to be normal but other markers of thyroid function, such as T3 and T4, to be low. These levels are not commonly investigated unless the TSH level is out of normal range. Knowing these levels ensures proper management of thyroid functioning. Inflammation can also be present in the thyroid gland, which may not necessarily affect the levels of TSH. If the active thyroid hormone produced is low (T3), then symptoms of low thyroid function will be exacerbated.

Marine Drive Naturopathic Clinic offers Comprehensive Thyroid testing to measure all markers of

thyroid function and determine the best treatment options for patients including prescription and natural approaches. Dr. Cathryn Coe has over 9 years experience treating thyroid

up a 10 per cent grade, the thermometer read 40 C. Just after our Pedal Pusher had flipped over her handle bars coming down the same grade, a truck stopped to ask if they were OK. Blood dripping down her arm and thigh, she said, “Sure we are fine, thanks a lot for stopping.”The truck drove on.When she caught up to it, her sister had stopped it to ask for food and gas. The driver gave them some packages of instant grits, a can of beans and some dried potatoes — just add water. With this new haul, they had hope they could make it out. The next couple of days, though extreme in terms of heat and terrain were uneventful — unless you count the wind, or the threat of getting caught in a forest fire.They had water because some firefighters in a convoy gave them some. Then they got lost. Of course, when you’re lost you often don’t know it at first. For part of one night and until the next day, they cycled south, undoing almost all of the northness they had gained.

Awesome! It showed they would be in the forest for another ﬁve days if they wanted to reach their destination.They had half a jar of peanut butter, one Clif bar, a can of tuna and some ramen noodles.

School supports more than 150 vulnerable children From page 11

and clean drinking water to more than 150 children, many of whom are homeless or orphaned as a result of poverty and HIV/AIDS. “It was a pretty dilapidated building but it had some space nevertheless,” he says. “It was in some way shape or form functioning, and it was doing good work. They’ve been around for nine years and they provide an opportunity to kids that can’t afford government school fees, because they’re not cheap, especially for kids that are homeless or from vulnerable families.” “They never really dwelled on their hardships, they were super positive and I was really inspired by that.They just soaked up any opportunity for community development projects, education (and) any opportunity for personal development,” he adds. A few months after Walker moved back to Canada, he heard Great Hope’s landlord wanted to go in a different direction with the building, displacing the school. “It’s very hard to ﬁnd suitable buildings for a school in that neighbourhood. It’s a very high-density slum area,” he says. While they eventually found a space 250 metres down the road, it’s a very small structure, making for extremely cramped conditions and lacks running water and electricity. “It’s not an ideal situation and it’s negatively impacted

a lot of the homeless kids, the orphan kids, who were boarding at the previous school.They don’t have a place to live so they’re not attending school as much,” says Walker. Walker decided to make use of a window of time post-graduation and organized his fundraising journey, setting a goal of raising $115,000 to help move the school into a more suitable building with space for the boarding of students, and eventually purchase land to build a permanent home. An endurance athlete, Walker ran for UBC on the varsity cross-country team and has completed a number of competitive road races, including some in Africa, he planned to run the entire route. However, due to injuries sustained, including severe tendonitis, and a strain in his right foot, he switched to his bike around Jasper to aid in his recovery. He finished the route nonetheless, completing it from May 27 to June 16. Joining him were two documentary film graduates from Capilano University who are working on a documentary about the project.The goal is for the resulting film to serve as a further fundraiser for Great Hope. Donations are still being accepted via the Running for Great Hope campaign website, youcaring.com/ running4greathope. Walker plans to continue supporting Great Hope, and launched an organization, Healthy Settings Kenya, with his contacts at the school. It’s

registered as a communitybased organization in Kenya under the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development. When asked where his motivation comes from, Walker says it extends to his philosophy related to community engagement. “It could have been some one-off project where I go to Africa and experience it for myself and take way more than I contribute back, which I feel is what a lot of volunteering programs do. . . . I really believe in long-term commitment,” he says. “This whole experience is not only just a run or a fundraiser, but it’s also with the documentary, we’re trying to make a statement about how charities should work, from something that’s dependency-driven and short-term to something that’s more empowering and long-term,” he adds. While in Prague,Walker plans to continue spreading the word about Great Hope to his students, and in September 2015, he hopes to begin a master’s degree in social development in London, with a goal of tying his interest in humanitarian work into his studies, all the while continuing to promote and expand Healthy Settings Kenya. “It’s a long-term project, so stay tuned and keep following for updates on the progress we’re making. It’s not just a one-time thing. By donating, you can be a part of a longer process and really see the impact you’re having long-term,” he says. healthysettingskenya.com

Initiative aims to make dreams come true Representatives of Nurse Next Door North Shore and the West Vancouver Seniors’ Activity Centre Keeping Connected programs have teamed up to collect and make North Shore seniors’ dreams come true. To do so, they’re working with the Dream On Seniors Wish Foundation, an independent charity,

founded in Vancouver by home care company Nurse Next Door, according to a press release. Nurse Next Door North Shore is excited to help raise funds, collect dreams and work with the foundation to help fulﬁll a few local seniors’ wishes, says Danny Birch, Nurse Next Door North Shore managing partner, in the release. They believe in

helping seniors celebrate aging, and the foundation provides a great opportunity to connect with seniors in the local community and remind everyone that they’re never too old to dream, he adds. Dreams will be collected until Aug. 4 with the winning dreams being announced during the Keeping Connected Program barbecue taking

place Aug. 13, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the seniors centre. The Dream On program ﬁts well with the Keeping Connected programs at the seniors centre because they’re both embracing the “live long, live well” philosophy, says Jonie Vajda, West Vancouver Seniors’ Activity Centre outreach co-ordinator, in the statement.

TASTE

Tasting shows off Okanagan wineries

Tim Pawsey

Notable Potables Last week, I was lucky to be right on the beach at the south end of Skaha Lake, enjoying a lively, laid-back tasting known appropriately as Party in the Park.

Every winery in the Okanagan Falls Wineries Association was on hand for a delightful evening of wines, excellent barbecued pork (from The Chef Instead) and a terriﬁc band: Uncorked. It was a great display of community togetherness. But it also marked another step in the consolidation of a regional group that will at some point include one (or more) distinct wine subappellations. After all, most of the vines that produced the wines poured are rooted within the immediate region, and, more to the point, the better wines being made here are beginning to develop their own characteristics, which is also

key to the process. The main roadblocks will come from those few powerful players who, primarily for their own purely commercial reasons, want to continue bottling the valley’s grapes as one large, homogenous source, with no speciﬁc indication on the label as to where they originated. Signs are, however, that the other important part of this equation, the consumer, will help to move both the sub-appellation discussion and process forward.You didn’t have to listen hard at Party in the Park to pick up on the genuine interest and curiosity from people towards all that’s happening

in their own back yard, and their desire to taste and learn more to go along. There were just too many worthy drops to mention here, although standouts included: Blue Mountain Brut and 2013 Sauv Blanc; Painted Rock’s rhubarbtoned 2013 Rosé and soonto-be-released Icon 2012; Stag’s Hollow nettle-toned Sauvignon Blanc 2013; Noble Ridge Chardonnay 2012, Mingle 2013; Meyer Gewurz. 2013 and Rosé 13; Skaha 2013 Rosé;Wild Goose Gewurz, Syncromesh Thorny Vines Riesling 2013, and more. If you’re Okanagan bound this summer be sure to make time to explore this truly unique corner of wine country. More info and touring planners at ofwa.ca. Pender Island’s Sea Star is making waves with its newest releases, several of which won big at Northwest Wine Summit. These are among the best wines I’ve tasted from the Gulf Islands (and Vancouver Island, for that matter). Sea Star (which has blossomed on the former Morning Bay property) has plenty going for it, starting with a strong team and a keen focus on producing what makes sense for the region. Two varieties that can ﬂourish in cooler parts of B.C. are Siegerrebe and Ortega. Sea Star proves the point. Sea Star Siegerrebe 2013 In the right hands, delicious as a single

Look for citrus and spice notes up front followed by well-balanced, not overblown, tropical, grapefruit and peach notes on a juicy, well-structured, and lengthy palate ($17.90, 91 points). Sea Star Ortega 2013 Lifted aromas of floral and orchard fruits, with a lush peach-and-melon-toned palate wrapped in juicy acidity ($18.90, 90 points). No better weather than the present to sip on Sauvignon Blanc, especially with a plate of fresh shucked oysters on hand.These three from around the world offer varying, delicious styles— and tremendous value. Blue Mountain Sauvignon Blanc 2013 (Okanagan Valley) Citrus on the nose with a definite structured, crisp, clean lemon and grapefruit palate with mineral

undertones and zesty end ($18.90, 91 points). Errazuriz Max Riserva Sauvignon Blanc 2013 (Aconcagua Costa, Chile) Fresh herb and citrus up front, with a quite textured, broad, gooseberry, lime and mineral palate that will stand up to strong ﬂavours such as goat cheese and even some spicier items ($18.99, 91 points). Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc 2013 (Marlborough, New Zealand) Grassy and herbaceous aromas followed by a juicy palate with more pronounced tropical fruit notes above a mineral streak before a juicy, lingering end ($17.99, 90 points).

FOCUS

DeLuxe crew hosted special events

From page 3

the Dollarton Pleasure Faire in his backyard he had little say in the matter as it was put together by some of his neighbours on the mudflats. The gathering was actually small potatoes compared to some of the other events Dan and Wendy Clemens’ DeLuxe Renovators and Events had hosted in the Lower Mainland. The Dewdney Trunk Road Pleasure Faire in 1971 is still remembered by some as one of the main events of the hippie era. “That was a big success,” remembers Davy Joel Rippner, one of Clemens’ partners at the time. “Joni Mitchell was our star. She came before the fair opened and stayed the whole time.” Deluxe also hosted a Pleasure Faire in Mission and an eight-day Christmas extravaganza at the PNE, featuring bands and craft booths. Rippner, now based on South Pender Island (leathersmithe.com), has been creating handmade leather goods since 1957 and during the early ’70s operated his own shop, The Good Earth, at Third Street and Lonsdale Avenue. “Dan and Wendy Clemens were making bags at that time,” says Rippner. “That’s how our relationship started up — we would see each other now and then at public get-togethers. And when the time came and I located this other shop (on Lower Lonsdale) they were keen to go into a partnership. And they lived close by on the mudflats.” Rippner didn’t live on the mudflats himself, preferring some of the comforts of civilization such as running water and heat in a place near Capilano Suspension Bridge. “My lifestyle was not as rustic as theirs,” he says. “I did want electricity and I wanted to be able to get away from the scene in the evening and charge my batteries. I had a girlfriend and my parents came to visit and my brother was living there and somebody was living in a treehouse outback so we had our own little scene there.” DeLuxe Renovators was formed as a fallback business says Rippner. “Carpentry was a way to fill the time between leather season, which was warmer weather when people are out spending money. To get us over the hump periodically we were able to do renovations and teardown jobs.” Rippner, in his mid-20s at the time, was part of the DeLuxe “disorganization” (as he calls it) from 1968 until 1975 when he left Vancouver. “Because I was involved with Dan and Wendy I was down in the mudflats too and that was the beginning of that little subculture.” One day some of the DeLuxe crew showed up at Rippner’s Lonsdale store with truckloads of ticky tacky taken from Victorian homes in the Fairview Slopes area near Granville Island and they used it to decorate his shop. “One of the guys at the mudflats, Willie (Wilson), was a collector and he had amassed three warehouses full of ticky tacky Victorian teardowns. That was how DeLuxe got its start. They would go and tear down these places and take away whatever they wanted. That’s where all the Victorian stuff came from.” The structures DeLuxe built for themselves on the mudflats had some distinguishing features. “They were post and beam,” says Rippner. “Big husky things and all found material. I don’t think anybody ever bought a sheet of plywood or anything like that. Most of us didn’t have that much experience as carpenters so they were rough and impractical, big and open. I don’t think anybody thought of it as anything more than a temporary stop on the way to the rest of their lives.”

We didn’t have much to offer. Everything that we did, people took us on faith, because we were very loosely knit. We were antiestablishment, clearly so, but we had some good mouths. Dan Clemens could talk anybody into anything. He was a very convincing guy and so he got on very well with Al Clapp who had those characteristics too. Plus Al had a lot of connections.” The DeLuxe crew played a big part in creating Robert Altman’s fictional town of Presbyterian Church in McCabe and Mrs. Miller. The film was shot in West Vancouver and Squamish mostly in sequential order with carpenters constructing the town set in front of Altman’s cameras as the story unfolds. The whole thing smacks of a Maplewood Mudflats ethos right down to the wood planks the actors walk over to get from one building to the next.

“A gang of DeLuxers worked on it,” says Rippner. “The ﬁlm was employment for a year or some very long time, particularly for Ian Ridgway. Ian is still alive, he’s living on the Sunshine Coast. He was a few years senior to us and had been a shipwright and learned his trade in Great Britain. He was the primary guy that did all the — I don’t want to say organization, I don’t want to say design because people all played a role — but we learned our carpentry from Ian.” ■■■ The concept of Pleasure Faires sprang up in postSecond World War America as summertime celebrations of medieval and Renaissance cultures. Rippner actually worked as a student volunteer on the ﬁrst Renaissance Pleasure Faire put on by radio station KPFK in Los Angeles in 1963. The event celebrated its 50th anniversary last year with annual attendance now averaging 250,000. Photographer Bruce Stewart attended medieval fairs See Altman page 24

and hippie “be-ins” in California in the late ’60s while he was studying at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. “We shot mostly street gatherings and protest marches,” says Stewart. “The Fifth Estate Coffee House, the Sunset Strip riots, that kind of stuff — also the ﬁrst Easter Be-in in Legion Park. That would be in ’67 during the so-called Summer of

Love. I was fortunate I was down there and really took in a lot of stuff that was happening.” Stewart felt out of place when he ﬁrst returned to Vancouver in 1971 to work at UBC. He became friends with photographer Fred Herzog and the two of them often worked together documenting the Vancouver street scene. “When I heard about the Faire I went over to the Flats not knowing who I’d meet,” remembers Stewart.

“I parked my car, went into the woods and met this band of people who were having a coffee break. They had their recycled timbers and hammers and nails and whatnot and I went up to Danny and Ian Ridgway, who I knew very brieﬂy from another occasion, and I said, ‘I’m Bruce Stewart and I’m very interested in documenting what you’re doing for myself.’ We shook hands on the deal. They said, ‘Fine you’re not selling the pictures, you’re not working for a newspaper, you’re not an undercover cop.’ These were all questions I used to get legitimately I suppose because of the nature of the pictures I used to take. Fred used to get a lot of questioning like that as well.” Stewart shot for a couple of days before the Faire started and continued on through the event. “Nobody ever paid any attention to me,” he says. “Nobody posed for me, which was really quite remarkable. I danced into the scene and danced out again. People got to know who I was, I think, without really knowing my name.” He kept shooting sometimes late into the night using very fast ﬁlm with a Nikon FTN. Through UBC he had access to a darkroom

Either they didn’t notice me or I was invisible but there wasn’t a big deal made about me being there. And that goes for the nudity as well, which was very pervasive. It was a very hot summer — it was a beautiful place to lie around in the grass.” McCartney Creek was dammed up to create a swimming hole where people could cool off during the Faire. There were also other accoutrements of such events such as a bandstand, concession stands and a screen printer who made and sold “Maplewood Mudflats” T-shirts on site. The photographer shot more than 700 images at the Faire with 50 of those chosen for the current exhibit at Presentation House Gallery. During the festival Terry Lyster also followed Stewart around

with a Super-8 camera and some of that footage is also screening continuously as part of the show. Some of the images feature Al Clapp with an Arriflex camera shooting his own footage but the material he shot has not been found. Stewart returned to the mudflats after most of the remaining shacks were destroyed in 1973 and took further photographs. A panoramic sweep of the area made at that time greets visitors as they enter the gallery to view his exhibit. A distinctive sense of melancholy permeates the photographs says the gallery in its introduction and that sentiment could apply to the entire era, says Rippner. “When you were a hippie (it hadn’t yet acquired its capital “H”) or a square, or a peacenik or a hawk, poverty was the standard for many young iconoclasts. Visiting and especially living on the mudflats meant embracing and accepting the limited economic future and wide disparity between the wealthy and those

who wanted no part of corporate life, Madison Avenue, the support of the American war effort, rightist politics, established religion, and so many oppressive and selectivelyenforced laws. “We had good relations with the local First Nations people and I think the place gave many visitors a chance to see how a life with few rules could play out in rewarding ways. It was an experiment, like Edge City, that was refreshing in those restrained and conservative times. Vancouver had the reputation even then of being a city of adventure and risk; the mudﬂats epitomized that freedom and hope of an alienated subculture.” For transcripts of interviews with Bruce Stewart and Davy Joel Rippner, as well as a list of references on the history of the Mudﬂats, visit nsnews. com/entertainment/dossier.

Putting your pet down is never an easy choice I was making a quick stop on the way home to grab a bottle of wine when, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a mini van pulling into the parking stall in front of the veterinary office located beside the liquor store. For some reason I felt compelled to watch what was going on as the sliding door of the mini van opened and a very thin, frail senior dog stepped out of the van. An equally frail owner then followed the dog and the two of them gingerly made their way into the veterinary office. I turned my gaze away and felt a lump grow in my throat. I couldn’t help but think that this could be that dog’s final moments in this world. My chest tightened and tears stung my eyes. This is by far the hardest part of loving these creatures. Making the decision to euthanize a pet is the most difficult thing an owner will have to face during their lifetime with their dog. But like every living moment with our dogs, it is a gift, no matter how hard, from them to us.We just have to listen and learn. Having gone through this a few times in my life, it never gets easier and in a way, I am grateful for that. Because if it did get easy then it would mean that my heart had turned to stone and my dogs’ lessons have been lost. The biggest question we ask ourselves during this time is, “But how do you know when it’s time?” It’s a

Joan Klucha

Canine Connection genuinely heart-wrenching question filled with the angst of, “Am I doing the right thing? Is it too soon? Is it too late? Will my dog hate me? Am I being selfish keeping him alive? Am I being selfish euthanizing her? Why is the decision to end my dog’s life up to me?” My answer to this is: you just know. If you are able to remain calm, your intuition takes over, your ego gets quiet and, at the risk of sounding corny, it feels like you are sharing one spirit with your dog.Your questions are answered and there is an undeniable feeling of serene peacefulness within you. Learning to find and trust your intuition is one of the gifts from our dogs at this time. As owners of these amazing animals I think that we are stewards of their life and death.We have been given the blessing of sharing a life with them and with that comes the responsibility of helping them transition from life to afterlife when the time calls, with all of the dramatic emotions of fear

and confusion that come with it. Leaving this part to someone else in a sterile environment is a coward’s way out and your dog’s lesson is lost. I personally don’t believe that dogs have a fear of death the same way that humans do.They live their lives so much more richly than we do, a richness that comes from the heart and loving life, not of the ego and loving material things. I have been with all my dogs as they passed and I did not see fear in their eyes during their last moments of life. During their passing, they were in a place they felt the safest, and I was comfortable, surrounded by people that meant the most to me at that time in my life, and I knew that gave my dogs comfort.When I felt safe and at peace, so did they.When they passed, they had love in their eyes and peace in their hearts. What a beautiful way to go!

Sharing a life with a dog is a living lesson of unconditional love — to give love unconditionally, as well as to get it. Because that is all our dogs give to us, and ask in return. Dogs help ground us to our true purpose of living from the heart. It is one of the many gifts they give us. And if we live a life with a closed heart and are unable to experience this gift when they are alive with us, we will certainly feel that heart open upon their death. A dog’s death is an inevitable event. But if we shift our perspective and look at it as a lesson of love instead of a fear of loss then its death will have meaning and its life will live on in our hearts.

SPCA ‘inundated’ with distressed animal calls BC SPCA constables are being inundated with calls this summer to rescue pets left in parked vehicles, according to the crueltyprevention society. Last month alone, the BC SPCA reports that it responded to 228 calls to rescue dogs in distress who had been left in hot cars by their guardians. “The media is wonderful about helping us get the message out that it can be fatal to leave your pet in a hot car, even for 10 minutes, but still we receive hundreds of calls about animals in distress,” said spokesperson Lorie Chortyk

in a press release. “We can’t stress strongly enough how dangerous this is for your pet.” Dogs can withstand high temperatures for only a very short time — in some cases just minutes — before suffering irreparable brain damage or death.The SPCA urges people to leave their pets at home if they can’t keep them safe. Heatstroke symptoms in dogs include exaggerated panting, rapid or erratic pulse, salivation, anxious or staring expression, weakness and muscle tremors, lack of co-ordination, convulsions or vomiting, and collapse.

Hooton races to world jrs. Former swimmer ﬁnds his stride on the track in 10,000-metre race ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com

It took a little bit of time for North Vancouver’s Jesse Hooton to get used to “running on earth,” but once he got the knack of it he raced all the way to the IAAF World Junior Championships. Hooton grew up as a competitive swimmer but as he entered high school at Handsworth secondary he soured on the sport and dropped out. “I just got really tired of it and ended up loathing the thought of being in a pool,” he said. “I no longer had any fun doing it.” He then proceeded to sit around a lot. After nearly a year, however, he got the urge to get back into shape and hit the gym.

“I just started running on the treadmill at the gym, just sort of tagging along with my parents or whoever was going to the gym,” he said. “For the ﬁrst six months of my running career it was almost entirely on the treadmill.” Back at Handsworth for his Grade 11 year, Hooton made the decision to try his new legs on solid ground, joining the cross-country running team. It went well — eventually. “I was always used to racing from swimming, so it was something that I was comfortable with, but I was deﬁnitely comfortable with the treadmill and it took a little time to get used to running on earth.” He got used to it fast enough to earn the attention of the coaches

at Vancouver’s Hershey Harriers Athletic Club, eventually gaining a spot on the UBC Track and Field team. As a ﬁrst-year university racer last season, Hooton participated in a number of races for UBC, including one 10,000metre race, his ﬁrst ever attempt at the distance, at the UBC Open at the end of March. Hooton’s time of 31 minutes and 24.92 seconds was the fastest run by a Canadian junior up to that point in the racing season, potentially qualifying him for the World Junior Championships. Hooton was a little surprised to be in that position — he’d never represented Canada in anything — but also knew that there was plenty of season left for other

more experienced racers to beat his time. So he waited and watched, watched and waited. “Almost every day I was checking out Athletics Canada and looking at the rankings there, fingers crossed that my time held,” he said. “With a couple of weeks left in the qualifying period it still held, and only then did it start to seem like it might be a possibility to become a reality to go to this meet. And sure enough it held.” Hooton had one more hurdle to clear earlier this month, needing to post a good time while running the 5,000-m race at the 2014 Canadian Junior Track and Field Championships to prove he was still in top shape. Hooton finished fifth in a time of 15:07.57, solidifying his spot in the world championships. With that, he’ll go from never having competed

internationally to lining up against the best juniors in the world. “I feel really lucky. I’m also really proud and at the same time humbled to be going,” he said. “It’s been a long time coming to get to this meet that has been my No. 1 goal for the season. . . . It’s kind of surreal at the moment. It hasn’t really sunk in.” It’s going to sink in soon. Hooton left for Eugene, Ore., on Friday and he’ll race the 25-lap 10,000 m on Tuesday, the opening day of the championships. “My goal was always to make the team so I never really pictured myself getting this far,” he said with a laugh when the North Shore News caught up with him last week. “I still have to take some time and sit down and think about what I want to do in Eugene.

Rowers make a splash

Two North Shore rowers pulled in a pair of medals each while competing for Canada’s junior national development team at the CanAmMex Regatta held July 6-12 at Lachaber Lake in Nova Scotia. Madison Mailey of Lions Bay earned a pair of gold medals, helping her crews ﬁnish ﬁrst in both the junior women’s double and quad races. North Vancouver’s Brynn Danvers earned gold in the junior women’s pairs and silver in the eights. The annual event pits teams from Canada, the United States and Mexico against each others in a friendly but competitive regatta that is meant to introduce young racers to high-level competition. •••

goal was always to make the team and now that I have I haven’t thought too hard about what’s actually

going to happen once I get there.” The fact that it will be his ﬁrst time representing Canada has added to the excitement of the event. “It’s going to be added pressure, I think, but at the same time it’s going to be really fun. I’ll be OK — I won’t freak out too much,” he said with a laugh,

adding that he’s excited to compete in Eugene, a spiritual home for track and ﬁeld. “There’s lots of big names that have come out of that facility,” he said. “It’s going to be really cool for sure. It’s always been something I’ve wanted to do, let alone race the biggest race of my life.”
