Public curling leaves the house Curlers swept aside for hockey unless enough joinWinter Club ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com

Two grand old Canadian sports have been pitted against each other at the North Shore Winter Club with hockey potentially poised to bodycheck

curling out of the facility for good. The private North Vancouver club recently announced that it will scrap public curling altogether in April of 2015 and will eliminate its curling rink entirely — turning it

into a hockey rink — if it isn’t able to sign up 360 curlers to a limited athletic membership by Nov. 15. The decision seemingly puts an end to an agreement hatched in the late 1990s between the Winter Club and the North Vancouver Recreation Commission to provide a space for public curling following the rec commission’s decision to

replace the curling rink at Harry Jerome Recreation Centre with the Flicka Gymnastics Club. The Winter Club says it has been losing money on the deal despite fees it collects from the rec commission. The club argues it is subsidizing public curling at the expense of its members, only a handful of whom actually use the

curling facility. The athletic membership now being offered to curlers includes an initiation fee of $900 plus monthly dues starting at $113, prices that the club is calling affordable. North Shore curlers, however, say that’s a huge jump in price from what they are paying to curl now. As of Friday, not one of the more than 500 registered

curlers on the North Shore had accepted the new membership offer. “It’ll kill public curling on the North Shore,” said Bruce Beveridge, a curler and league organizer who has been playing the sport on the North Shore for the past 27 years. “(The club’s offer) is not going to be accepted by the curlers.

Federal and provincial help is apparently on the way to help untie the trafﬁc knots at the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing bridgehead. That’s one of the messages from District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton, who talked all things transportation at a North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce luncheon Wednesday. The district has been working with the province to redesign the onramps and offramps between the bridge and Lynn Valley Road, aiming to ease trafﬁc congestion. The total cost of the highway project is expected to be $140 million between the three levels of

government. “The federal government and the provincial government will be making a signiﬁcant announcement on Nov. 12,”Walton said. The $5-million sale of the old Keith Lynn alternative secondary school to the district last month “unlocked” the co-operation and funds of the provincial and federal governments, Walton said. The impending referendum on how (or if) Lower Mainland residents will fund the TransLink mayors’ council vision for transportation improvements was also part of the discussion Wednesday. Included in the mayors’ council vision for the North Shore is 10-minute SeaBus service in peak travel times, B-line service between Lynn Valley and downtown Vancouver, Capilano University and Metrotown as well as Phibbs Exchange all the way to Dundarave, plus increased bus service and bike lanes.

Paying for $7.5 billion in transportation infrastructure improvements across the Lower Mainland will likely come from a new regional sales tax and regional carbon tax and at some point, road pricing,Walton said.The rest of the world has moved way ahead of Canada into funding transportation infrastructure in these ways, Walton added. But Metro Vancouver voters must give their approval to opening up any new funding sources, the province has mandated.That referendum will go ahead between March and June 2015 and Walton said he’s currently spending “long, long hours” working to see that it passes. Walton said Lower Mainland residents can expect a mail-in ballot, similar to the referendum that sank the harmonized sales tax in 2011. He and Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore just returned from a factﬁnding trip to Los Angeles, which has had two similar referendums in the last six

years — one that succeeded and one that failed. Critical in a winning referendum is having all relevant business, transportation, charity, tourism, non-proﬁt and citizens groups on board endorsing the plan, he said. Some initial polling by TransLink has found that people are supportive of the mayors’ plan for funding,Walton said, but support from the business community is even higher. “The business community recognizes that the more ways you can give people options to get out of their cars, the more road capacity you have for goods movement and the economic links between the two are absolutely solid,” he said to the business audience. And halting development isn’t the answer to our trafﬁc problems,Walton added, as the population will grow and urbanize whether the transportation system keeps up or not. “If North Van city and North Van district say tomorrow ‘No, development.

I can’t take any more development,’ I can tell you our chance at getting any provincial or federal monies goes right down the toilet. Other areas of (Metro Vancouver) are taking way more than we are. Despite the perception in North Van district right now, for the last five years, our average growth rate has been .7 per cent.That’s about the lowest in Metro Vancouver. It’s much lower than anywhere else,” he said. “Turning off the spigot isn’t going to solve traffic problems. It’s going to make it more difficult to solve.” Though the mayors were opposed to putting transportation funding at risk with a referendum, the B.C. Liberals introduced legislation for a referendum in June.Two of the North Shore’s four Liberal MLAs — Jane Thornthwaite and Ralph Sultan — were at Wednesday’s event offering praise for Walton’s quarterbacking of the massive responsibility, and expressing optimism that the referendum would pass.

Drivers involved in a four-vehicle crash on the north end of Lions Gate Bridge Thursday morning had luck on their side. A 24-year-old West Vancouver woman was taken to hospital for assessment of minor cuts and bruises while three other drivers escaped without harm after they were involved in a pile-up

that closed the bridge for about 45 minutes. The accident happened about 10:30 a.m. after the West Vancouver woman driving north in a 1994 Mercedes swerved in to the middle lane of oncoming trafﬁc after cars ahead of her stopped abruptly. Her car was struck head-on by a southbound Mazda 3. The force of the impact spun both vehicles around, said Const. Jeff Palmer, spokesman for

the West Vancouver Police Department — into the path of a small 2008 Honda. Another vehicle — a southbound Silverado pickup truck — also collided with the cars when they came to rest. Three of the vehicles involved in the crash had to be towed from the scene. Police did not have an estimate of damage. Palmer said the drivers were lucky, adding it’s important for drivers to

pay attention to trafﬁc ahead of them and keep proper following distances, giving themselves space to stop if needed.

Correction A story on the Argyle school replacement Oct. 15 incorrectly stated that the former Monteray school site was sold for $3.9 million. In fact, the property was sold for $6.38 million.

andidates in this municipal election need stop with the handwringing and lip service about affordable housing. It’s been a perennial issue for most every candidate, in every municipality, in every election in recent memory and guess what? Things have only gotten worse. Some will tell you the answer is building more condos. Others will tell you the answer is halting the building of more condos.Whether it’s increasing the supply or restricting it, candidates’ solutions tend to align perfectly with their own development preferences. And either way, it hasn’t made a lick of difference to the young couple looking for a place to raise a family. The cost of housing is what it is because it’s entirely up to the open market to set the price.That market

includes people trying to establish a career and pay down student debt as well as the world’s wealthy looking for a can’tlose investment to park their money in. The only way to deal with this market driven problem is to create non-market solutions. Limiting foreign ownership, creating a tax regime to put people looking for a home ahead of people looking for an investment return, offering incentives for developers to build anything but tiny, half-million-dollar condos or establishing not-for-proﬁt housing would all shake the pillars of the free market. But there is currently no one at any of the levels of government with the political will or courage to enact these policies. Until a candidate is willing to pay the political price of truly affordable housing, the cost of living will only cycle higher.

Take the slowpokes off the highway Dear Editor: Putting “the cart” before the race horses causes traffic jams on the North Shore during rush hours. If we could eliminate vehicles that are incapable of maintaining the normal speed of traffic on the North Shore’s “Cut” during rush hours, it would end the twice daily experience of gridlock caused by traffic being restricted to the speed of the slowest vehicles. The Cut has three lanes westbound. One lane is for slower vehicles. Two lanes are for vehicles capable of maintaining the flow of traffic, and of course slightly faster than slow vehicles jockeying to get past which in turn slows

the faster vehicles. The speed at the crest of the hill where the three lanes merge into two doesn’t mean that the slow lane will magically go faster. The two eastbound lanes have a slow curb lane for multiple vehicles that have to deal with loads, for safety reasons, which ends up dictating the speed of the whole approach to the Ironworkers Memorial

Second Narrows Crossing. There is a way around this inﬂated rush hour, one that the minister of transportation appears to have ignored thus far, or he just hasn’t been informed by his staff of his options. The easy way would be to ticket vehicles incapable of maintaining the normal speed of trafﬁc during rush hours and then share the proceeds with the

surrounding municipalities who have to deal with the pollution from idling vehicles. In 2008 there was a British Columbia law written to deal with rush hour trafﬁc at the approaches and bridge crossings in Metro Vancouver and Kelowna. The Transportation Act Provincial Public Undertakings Regulation

states that: “a person must not, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and 6 p.m., Monday to Friday inclusive, operate a vehicle that is incapable of maintaining the normal speed of trafﬁc on the structure or its approaches, unless the vehicle is engaged in emergency maintenance work. . . .” Dave Gosse North Vancouver

Efﬁciency is not more important than democratic right to know Dear Editor: Re: Alan Nixon’s letter.

May I suggest they are of equal importance. How can I know if the meetings and decisions made are “collaborative, constructive and productive” when I’m not there because more than half are secret? As a member of the public what I am seeing is a council that is pro-

development and unconcerned about the effect this approach has on the rapidly declining quality of life in the District of North Vancouver.Try venturing out on our roads any day after about 3 p.m. But what do I know? See Not page 7

Howe Sound no place for LNG

Dear Editor: As a former seafarer I take issue with Angus Mitchell, whose Sept. 21 rant against West Vancouver council’s stand on LNG in Howe Sound indicates a profound lack of understanding of LNGassociated problems. The Society of International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators has a set of criteria, accepted by virtually the entire world LNG industry, for the safe siting of an LNG terminal. The ﬁrst and overriding criterion is that there is no — zero — acceptable probability for a catastrophic LNG release. Rules for terminal siting include: • Not where vapours from a spill could affect civilians; • Far from the ship transit

fairway; • Must not conflict with other waterway uses; • Avoid long, narrow inland waterways; • Not on waterways containing navigation hazards; and • Not on the outside curve of the waterway. The final criterion is a reaffirmation of the universal truth that the potential for human error always exists and must not be disregarded — think Titanic, Chernobyl, Exxon Valdez, Queen of the North, Costa Concordia, Lac Megantic, Mount Polley. . . . Woodfibre, on the outside curve near the head of a long, narrow, busy, populated inland waterway, fails to meet a single one of the siting criteria. How come the

B.C. government did not immediately reject it as an LNG terminal site? LNG tankers are monster ships — twice as long, twice as wide, taller than and ten times the tonnage of our big B.C. ferries. Their 50,000 ton cargo of liquid methane packs, I am told, is the thermal equivalent of several Hiroshima bombs. Due to their big sail area and relatively shallow draft, to stay on track they must keep moving at eight to 10 knots. Their stopping distance is only a little less than the distance from Point Atkinson to Stanley Park. Their passage causes signiﬁcant surface waves and surges. Stand by for damage claims along the route! For safety reasons all vessels of every kind are

MORRIS FOR MAYOR

Did you know that the new Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) is estimated to cost $700M? Assuming we successfully acquire matching Federal and Provincial grants totalling $466M, Metro Vancouver municipalities will still be required to fund the final $233M through utility fees.

The annual tax implication to each North Shore resident is estimated at $100 per person, per household starting in 2016, “FOR A BETTER TOMORROW” and rising to a little over $200 per person, per household by 2021. YOUTUBE Videos: kerrymorris.ca/videos/ @kerrymorriscnv

INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT?

Pharmacists often are asked about certain herbal medications and whether they are safe and effective for certain conditions. An example is the herb feverfew, a member of the DARYL daisy family and PHARMACIST some have suggested it may help those with migraines. There is “fair” but not convincing evidence that it may help prevent migraines. However, it should be avoided in pregnancy and avoided for 2 weeks prior to surgery because it may affect blood clotting.

Why not have 35 years of experience on your side?

Our pharmacists are familiar with these products. We’d be glad to help.

Shredder beer puts NSR fund on tap Deep Cove Brewing, rescue crew to partner on Jones ale BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

North Shore Rescue’s late leader Tim Jones is set to be immortalized in beer — part of a fundraiser by Deep Cove Brewing Co. to beneﬁt the volunteer team. The brewery and rescue team announced Wednesday that the two are partnering to create a specially brewed golden ale dubbed “Shredder” with all proceeds going to the Tim Jones Legacy Fund. The team set up the fund after Jones’ death in January in hopes it could be built up to a point where interest generated would be enough to pay for the team’s annual costs. “I think the potential is huge,” said North Shore Rescue team leader Mike Danks. “I really think that it sets an example and I hope that we can have other businesses come on board and show that level of support because it really takes the pressure off us to raise funds.We can focus on doing the rescues and

preparing our members for doing rescues.” The idea sprang from team member Jay Piggot who has mutual friends with the owner of Deep Cove Brewery. “It seemed kind of like a match made in heaven and a perfect opportunity for us to help them out a little bit and create a unique product for them,” said Trish Garratt, the brewery’s director of sales and marketing. The beer itself will be about ﬁve per cent alcohol by volume, made in the southern English golden ale tradition but using North American amarillo and citra hops, according to brewmaster Kevin Emms. “It’s going to be a really nice sessionable beer. It should appeal to a wide audience. It’s going to be nicely hopped but not bitter like an IPA with a nice rich, golden colour,” Emms said. The bottle features a stylized image of Jones and his husky and a tribute written by his daughter Taylor. She also came up with the name suggestion

of Shredder — a nickname Jones earned for his intense way of regulating team behaviour and letting them know when they’d messed up. The brewery is making 3,000 litres of Shredder, which will be sold in private liquor stores around the Lower Mainland after Nov. 15. Jones’ son and North Shore Rescue team member Curtis Jones said his dad would have loved having a brew named for him — not to mention the generous and innovative way of supporting the team. “When the idea was originally posed to me, it was a no-brainer. My dad would have been stoked to have a beer named after him,” he said. Jones was a beer lover himself and liked to make sure his team went for a cold one after a long night in the cold, Curtis said. “That was always our way of concluding a rescue.We went and had a beer and debriefed,” he said. Deep Cove Brewing and North Shore Rescue will launch the beer with a party at the brewery Nov. 15.Tickets are $45 with all proceeds going to the legacy fund.

WINNER OF THE BEST NORTH SHORE APPLIANCE STORE AWARD - THREE YEARS IN A ROW

Club says it’s losing money on curlers From page 1 They won’t come close. . . . Curlers won’t come in and pay that kind of money. That’s just not the curling fraternity out there.” Regardless of whether the club signs up enough members or not, the change would spell the end of public curling on the North Shore. The only other curling facility on the North Shore is at West Vancouver’s Hollyburn Country Club, and its regular leagues are only available to members. Heather Turner, director of recreation and culture for the North Vancouver Recreation Commission, said she knew that the Winter Club was considering changes to its curling programs but was surprised at the timing of the move and the tight deadline that has been placed on curlers to sign up or ship out. The current agreement between the club and the rec commission to provide public curling runs until June of 2016, but can be terminated at any time simply by giving 90 days notice.

signed up for the curling membership yet, the Winter Club is still hoping enough curlers will come on board to keep the program running beyond the end of this season, said Kevin Dancs, past-president of the club’s board of directors. “The offer was well thought out,” he said, adding the deal being offered includes other

perks of being a limited Winter Club member — curlers will have access to many of the club’s amenities although some, like tennis, hockey and swimming, are not included. “I know it’s more expensive than what they’re currently paying,” said Dancs, “but if they have to start travelling and doing gas money and all that sort

of thing, if you include the value add (of the club’s other amenities), it actually does make good sense to stay and join and curl. It seems like a win-win for everybody if they do join.” If they don’t reach the goal of signing up 360 new curling members, the club will start the process to transform the rink from curling into hockey, said Dancs, adding that the club must work to keep member satisfaction high while also considering revenue streams. Only 25 members of the club take part in curling, and the revenue from that ranges from negligible to negative, he said. “If it was converted to a hockey rink, then we know that projections are the revenue streams are going to be quite high, plus we have a big component of our membership who are hockey members. They’re going to be very happy that they have more ice time for the kids.” The potential elimination of curling from the club would be a monumental change as it was one of the original sports offered when the club opened in 1958. The

club has played host to several major competitions since then, including the 2012 B.C. Scotties women’s provincial championships that saw Kelly Scott become the first-ever female skip to win five B.C. titles. The move will also mean major changes in the local curling scene, said Beveridge, who took part in the 1967 Brier and currently plays in two weekly public leagues at the Winter Club. “It’s emotional that that’s the end of public curling on the North Shore, if this goes through,” he said, adding that while some die-hards will find new places to play off the North Shore, many others will just quit altogether. “In our society today I just think that’s not good. It’s a very basic sport across Canada. It’s not a booming sport, but it’s an important sport with a big following, and it would be a shame if there’s no public curling on the North Shore.” If the drive to sign up 360 curlers is unsuccessful, the Winter Club will refund the initiation fees for all of the curlers who do sign up.

NV to host mental health event On the Couch

HEALTH NOTES page 14

Many youth struggle with how to help and support a friend or loved one who is suffering from a mental health issue. That’s because mental health issues among youth are very common and touch so many lives. It can be difﬁcult, confusing and sometimes scary ﬁguring out how to navigate the waters of offering meaningful help and support to someone who is in emotional pain. Beneath concerning outward behaviour that worries friends and loved ones (for example, not acting like themselves, risky drinking and substance use, self-injury, ongoing sadness though much in their life is going right, irritability, high stress levels, distressing thoughts or withdrawing from others), the culprits are often depression and anxiety. Statistics show that 11 per cent of B.C. youth are living with depression and 25 per cent are impacted by anxiety. This October, as part of a national public education campaign for mental health awareness, the Beyond the Blues event is coming to North Vancouver Tuesday. The spirit of Beyond the Blues is to help prevent and manage mental health and substance use

At the site, youth and young adults can take part in engaging activities and learn more about mood problems, anxiety, options for getting support and good self-care. There is also an opportunity to take short self-tests on well-being, depression, anxiety and risky drinking and to speak privately with a clinician

about useful resources and healthy next steps. For many of us, the antidote to feeling helpless in the face of the mood and behaviour struggles of someone dear to our hearts is taking action and getting in motion. There is help and there is hope. Youth volunteers at the Beyond the Blues event also began their journey as youth leaders with Family Services of

the North Shore’s Youth Leadership Advisory Board (YouthLAB) in part as a response to personal experiences and personal connection of caring about someone who is struggling with depression and/or anxiety. They are youth helping youth, and along with event organizers and supporters, they are dedicated to promoting a welcoming and friendly space for participants. Beyond the Blues offers a place to have honest conversations about mood and coping (how am I really doing?), about wellbeing and about being a good support to others and to ourselves. Though focused on serving youth, concerned caregivers are welcome. Beyond the Blues is free, anonymous and conﬁdential. See heretohelp. bc.ca/beyond-the-blues for more information.

Roman tailor in a league of his own “Where will we go now?” When Giuseppe the RomanTailor closes his shop at the end of October, after 44 years in WestVancouver, who, his customers wonder, will look after their clothes? “My mother decided she wanted a pair of pants, made to measure,” says one customer. “I can see mother, in her 80s, standing in her silk long johns while Giuseppe took her measurements. She wore those pants forever.” How did they choose Giuseppe with so many tailors on the North Shore? “Ah, but they weren’t Giuseppe.” There may be a tape measure or two somewhere in Giuseppe’s shop but

once he has his customer’s measurements, his go-to tool is a small piece of chalk for marking fabric. “Some people, they like to have the tape measure and everything written down.That’s value for them. I learned in the good cities, Brescia, Milan, Rome. I measure by looking,” the master

tailor explains. Every day, a steady stream of customers and friends — Giuseppe doesn’t distinguish between the two — ﬂows through the shop at 1348 Marine Dr. Suits, slacks, summer dresses, every garment is sorted according to Giuseppe’s mysterious system. Payment for ﬁnished pieces may be deferred with a wave of Giuseppe’s hand or waived altogether.When a price is quoted, some customers insist on paying more. One such customer is grateful to Giuseppe for reviving his tuxedo. In the years since the evening suit was made for him, it had somehow not expanded to accommodate the owner’s increased girth. “That

suit to him in the morning. When I returned later that day, the tuxedo fit perfectly.” Like so many others, this customer learned about Giuseppe through the grapevine. He has advertised. “In Italy, the houses that sell wine had grape leaves in front of their doors. Others don’t need the leaves. People know where the best wine is.” He was born near Naples in 1944, in a village where his parents had a farm.When Giuseppe reached school age, he started working also, keeping the local tailor’s iron hot by blowing on the charcoal fire. Giuseppe’s apprenticeship in the craft of tailoring continued in Brescia, where his brother was a policeman, in Milan and in Rome during his military service. At 24, he left home, like his brothers and sisters had done, to find a better life. He landed in Halifax and made his way, without a word of English, to Vancouver where another brother,Vittorio, worked as a machinist. Giuseppe found work at Jack’s Cleaners in Dundarave (now Western Cleaners) and married Maria Angelillo, whom he had met at the Italian

Melody dance hall on Commercial Drive. By 1970, Giuseppe was established in his own shop and the family was living in West Vancouver, a move designed, vainly, to help cut down his hours. All went well for the next 40 years. Giuseppe kept to his routine, starting at 6 a.m. after a walk on Ambleside Beach. A photograph from that time shows Giuseppe in the shop, plying his trade amid mountains of fabric built up through the geology of decades. “He’s the hardest working person I know. He’s at the shop every day, even on Sundays. It’s a lifestyle for him,” says son Mike. There was time, however, for coffee with friends, for games of bocce on summer evenings and for looking after his family. Giuseppe and Maria built a new house, their three sons grew into manhood, business was good.Then, on a morning in 2011, ﬁre swept through the shop. In the year it took to restore the business, Giuseppe worked from home, in a corner of the laundry room. Most customers were unconcerned that their clothes were destroyed See Known page 21

West Van writer makes her debut

ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

“This is what I’ve always thought: It’s never too late.” Those are words Gloria Allan not only lives by, but encourages others to take to heart. At age 88, the West Vancouver woman has just published her debut novel, AWalk on Broken Glass: Elisabeth, Empress of Austria, through Granville Island Publishing, letting nothing get in her way, including the fact that she is considered legally blind. Set in the mid-1800s, the historical novel tells the true tale of 15-year-old Elisabeth, born of royal blood, and her journey after the Emperor of Austria, Franz Joseph,

falls in love with her at ﬁrst sight. AWalk on Broken Glass follows the new Empress of Austria, focusing on her loves, tragedies and triumphs in addition to her impact in the shaping of the political landscape of the day. “She learned to walk her own line, her own path in her own way,” says Allan. While her professional career was in accounting, Allan has always written, studying English in addition to accounting at university, as well as working as a cub reporter in Toronto for a short time.The mother of ﬁve has also contributed short stories to education magazines over the years. It was a love of history and a major life change that prompted her to get started on the project.

“I used to travel a lot to Europe with my husband. I always went to the old bookstores and I loved the old antique stores where you’d ﬁnd old books written back in the 1850s, early-, and late-1700s.

getting in and writing then because I had more time. It saved me through the years and it’s been wonderful,” she says. Allan conducted extensive research to ensure the accuracy of the work, tracking down old texts — some so old she could hardly read the writing — as well as visiting the places Elisabeth had lived. While penning a novel is no easy feat, Allan’s journey was made that much more challenging by her declining sight. She has macular

degeneration, which has worsened dramatically in the last four years. Luckily she completed much of her required research prior to that time so was able to focus on writing. She’s also grateful to have had help with copy editing from her children and publisher. Even though Allan is ﬁnished the book, she remains strongly connected to her central character. “She lives with me still. I think she always will,” she says. Allan plans to continue writing, aided by technology

serving the visually impaired, eyeing three women from the time of the Crusades as a potential topic. “It keeps me young,” she says. Allan will make two public appearances related to the novel, the ﬁrst at Indigo at Park Royal, Saturday, Oct. 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. She’ll also be at the West Vancouver Seniors’ Activity Centre Nov. 25 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. for a book talk and signing.

Geopolitical risk and your investments Global geopolitical events are in the media more than ever and it is widely believed that risks have not been this high for a very long time. Hong Kong saw record crowds protesting Beijing’s renege on its old promise to allow for free Hong Kong elections by the year 2017. Ukraine ﬁghting and grandstanding by Russians have resulted in a growing number of sanctions against Vladimir Putin’s Russia. While painful, the sanctions appear to

have had little effect on changing the Kremlin’s mind in the near term.

Then there is ultra-violent ISIS which is now the target of a remarkable West-Arab alliance. As geopolitical risk analyst Ian Bremmer believes, the riskiest dispute on earth is the contested waterways and islands in the South China Sea involving China, Vietnam, Japan, Borneo and the Philippines. Let’s take the ISIS example. It is undeniable that the fundamentalist group is motivated, barbaric and a threat to

the order in the Middle East, but the question one ultimately has to ask themselves as it relates to their investments is, how will this affect the sentiment of investors and what effect will it have on corporate earnings moving forward? The simplest answer is, it should not in a material way. Although in recent weeks we have experienced weakness in global markets and one may think it is entirely due to these headlines, it is actually a combination of things. The current market selloff for the TSX over the past six weeks (at time of writing) is about 10 per cent and many investors likely believe it is because of the aforementioned headlines, but there are other reasons that need to be monitored. The market is digesting weakness in Europe, a stronger U.S. dollar which is putting downward pressure on commodities, the IMF has reduced global growth forecasts, the end of QE3 later this month and the

10 year treasury yield moving under two per cent. All of this on top of the geopolitical issues are causing investors to reduce their exposure to equities, but I believe the bull market continues to be intact and investors should take advantage of this current drop in stock prices over the next few weeks. Geopolitical episodes tend to garner most of the attention in mainstream media, but it is the fundamentals that ultimately drive stock returns over the long run. This is not to say that geopolitical risk should be completely ignored as it can give rise to uncertainty which is a negative for markets. It can also add to market volatility and be a drag on vulnerable markets as we are seeing as of late, but the current long-term secular bull market should not be broken. Today’s geopolitical headlines are very important issues that require debate and

political action, but it would be a mistake to exaggerate their importance to most people’s investments in the long run. Successful investors look past headlines that have little to no direct effect on the companies they are invested in, but continue to monitor not just geopolitical news but also economic data. There will always be headlines and a good ﬁnancial advisor should evaluate which will matter to your portfolio and those that will not.

TASTE

Fresh juice preludes finished wine This past week I attended a fun and unusual tasting. The B.C. Wine Institute arranged to have shipped in from the Okanagan four, 2014 just-pressed juices (different varieties), which they poured alongside comparable, ﬁnished VQA wines from current releases. The idea was to bring the excitement of the harvest right to Vancouver — for those of us city slickers who aren’t able to make it to the Okanagan (or elsewhere). The tasting was led by Rhys Pender, who knows a thing or two about wine. First of all, he’s a Master of Wine — one of the youngest around, as far as I know. Also, he’s also a real winemaker — as in grows his own grapes, and (with his wife Alishan) makes his own wines. You don’t usually get to taste free-run juice, except at the winery. As it happens, one of the times I tasted B.C. juice was at Rhys and Alishan’s Little Farm Winery, last year in Similkameen. I remember being pretty impressed as we swirled and spit the deﬁnitely apple-toned juice that would become Little

Notable Potables

Farm Riesling. So what’s so great about tasting fresh-pressed or fermenting juice, a.k.a. “must”? It’s really fascinating to realize that this cloudy, often quite sedimentary liquid will one day emerge as a ﬁnished wine. It was pretty apparent that the Pinot Gris juice would indeed wind up not unlike the ﬁnished Lake Breeze 2013. And while the Gewürztraminer juice didn’t (yet) sport those classic rose petal notes, it was delicious to taste — and reminded me a little bit of quince jelly: Bring Me My Toast! Of the four tasted, the Merlot juice (from Sandhill, complete with a

swack of whole berries!) resembled most closely the ﬁnished wine — and, again, emphasized just how good the fruit is this year. Keep an eye out for the 2014 Sandhill Merlot, a couple of years from now. In fact, that was the overall message this tasting conveyed: 2014 is shaping up to be one of the best Okanagan (make that B.C.) vintages on record. If you’re in the Okanagan (or on Vancouver Island or anywhere. . .), and have a chance to taste some juice, go for it! You’ll get a real sense of what’s to come. The ﬁnished wines for this tasting were all part of BC Liquor Stores’ current BC VQA harvest promotion: They offer a good cross-section of the value that B.C. can deliver, most priced around or under the magic $20 mark. Standouts include: Nk’Mip Pinot Blanc 2013 Hard to believe that Pinot Blanc was once BC’s most widely planted white. But when you taste wines like this you can see why. Think orchard fruits and citrus wrapped in juicy acidity—a bargain at $15.99, 90 points.

Lake Breeze Pinot Gris 2013 You could really see the flavours in the must mirrored in this wine. Orchard notes on top with tropical and stonefruit and a touch of spice, juicy acidity and good length $19, 89 points. Wild Goose Gewurztraminer 2013 Hints of rose petal and sage on top, followed by a textured, slightly viscous palate of ginger spice, floral and mineral notes with well balanced fruit and acidity through a dry finish. BCLS $18.50, 91 points. Moon Curser Cab Merlot 2012 From one of the South Okanagan’s most prolific red wine producers. Solid, equal parts blend adds up to a plush and rounded drop with luscious cassis notes and blue fruit underpinned by added structure from the Cabernet. Think braised meats or hot pots. $20.90 90 points. Tim Pawsey writes about wine for numerous publications and online as the Hired Belly at hiredbelly.com. Contact: info@hiredbelly.com.

Cycling a popular and affordable way to explore The City

London on two wheels NEVILLE JUDD ContributingWriter

My ﬁrst job after leaving school was a stone’s throw from St. Paul’s Cathedral. Every day, I’d herd on to British Rail with a million other commuters for the 10-mile trip to Cannon Street. Not once did it ever occur to me to ride a bike. A lot’s changed in London since 1985. British Rail’s been replaced with private train operators and fares as confusing as they are expensive. Buses don’t accept cash: Oyster cards and credit/debit cards only. Motorists pay a daily congestion charge (about $20) for the privilege of driving in the capital. And, as I write this, London’s Tube train drivers are on strike. Again. No wonder cycling is so popular now, and not just with Londoners; tourists, too.

Almost 30 years after that ﬁrst job, I returned to my old London haunts this summer as a visitor with my family.We stayed a night at the London Edition in Fitzrovia, an artsy neighbourhood of galleries and upmarket stores. Virginia Woolf, George Bernard Shaw and Arthur Rimbaud used to call this area home back when it had a decidedly more Bohemian edge. Accommodation was probably more affordable then, too. The Edition is pricey, but memorable. Oak ﬂoors, wood-paneled walls, and silk area rugs make the guest rooms feel like a sophisticated hunting lodge. The hotel’s restaurant, Berners Tavern, reeks of opulence with a high ornate ceiling, decadent chandeliers, low lighting and almost every square inch of wall space covered by framed

art.The staff are young and beautiful. It’s the kind of place Agatha Christie might have set a mystery. Walking the quiet backstreets of Marylebone, Fitzrovia and Soho we ﬁrst noticed just how popular cycling had become in the capital. Along with numerous people riding high-saddled, three-gear road bikes with baskets on the front and panniers on the back, we saw lots of ‘Boris Bikes’ — London’s ubiquitous hire bicycles nicknamed after Mayor Boris Johnson. Similar to North America’s Bixi Bikes, London’s hire scheme sponsored by Barclay’s Bank supplies 10,000 bikes from 720 stations around the city.The sturdy, three-gear bicycles feature punctureresistant tires and LED lights, and can be rented by credit/debit card for 30minute rides.

With two days to see London, we booked two bicycle tours: the ﬁrst, a Central Tour with the London Bicycle Tour Company; the second, an East End Tour with Cycle Tours of London.The Central Tour is a good place to start because it covers just about every London landmark on a tourist’s must-see list.The Houses of Parliament, Big Ben,Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square and St. Paul’s Cathedral are among the highlights of the Central Tour, timed perfectly by our guide Tarik de Vries so we could see the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. While we watched soldiers in scarlet tunics and bearskin hats march down The Mall,Tarik regaled us with tales of over-zealous tourists bugging members of the Queen’s Guard. Soldiers

standing all but motionless on guard are used to people posing for photos next to them.When that becomes a nuisance either because of physical contact or shouting, soldiers first stamp their feet, then issue a warning. “When they raise their rifle, that’s considered a final warning,” said Tarik. “Next you’re detained.” My favourite stop brought us to Westminster School, the only part of the tour I hadn’t visited before. Plenty of parks offer an escape from London’s crowds but the school, which stands in the shadow of Westminster Abbey, feels like a village.The streets are cobbled and on three sides of the green stand the school buildings, some of which date back to the 11th Century. Set back on the fourth side is Westminster See Traffic page 26

Traffic slows to a crawl on Ludgate Hill From page 25 Abbey, the traditional site for coronations and burials of Britain’s monarchy. The peace and tranquility here — so remarkable in the centre of a city home to seven million people — contrasted dramatically with our ride to St. Paul’s Cathedral. Our approach from Smithfield Market (London’s central meat market with some absolutely gruesome history!) past the Old Bailey was busy enough before turning onto Ludgate Hill where traffic was so congested we cooled our heels on the equally congested sidewalk for a while. Congestion charge or not, motorists and pedestrians all appeared to have slowed down to admire Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece. While Tarik covered London’s essentials, Mathew Tregaron’s East End Tour was a decidedly more offbeat excursion from a tourist’s perspective, making it all the more interesting.Tower Hamlets, so long synonymous with poverty and overcrowding, featured prominently in the tour, which also covered Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Southwark Cathedral and — a personal highlight — a ride across Tower Bridge. Shortly after Tower Bridge we were at another old haunt, St. Katharine Docks. My dad, a marine engineer, used to bring the family here for boat shows and tall ship festivals.That was in the 1970s, shortly after St. Katharine’s warehouses were demolished and the area was commercially redeveloped. The stylish flats, yachting marina and pubs and restaurants are all still here. So, too, is the Tower Thistle Hotel, a corpulent, concrete

monstrosity that epitomizes the worst of 1970s London architecture. But that’s just me. In contrast to St. Katharine Docks, a failed attempt at gentriﬁcation is just a short ride away at Tobacco Dock. More than 200 years old, this abandoned brick and timber warehouse was turned into a shopping centre in 1990. Surrounding development failed to take off and dreams of creating an East End version of Covent Garden failed to materialize.The place has been abandoned for more than a decade. Yet until recently, piped music could be heard inside Tobacco Dock. A security guard still patrols the empty premises and, according to Mathew, spotless public toilets used to make this a timely stop on cycling tours. Inﬁnitely more compelling is Cable Street

For centuries,Tower Hamlets, with its close proximity to the city and the Thames, attracted waves of foreign immigration looking for employment. In 1936, looking for scapegoats for the country’s perceived ills, the British Union of Fascists

targeted the community for a march. Despite the protection of some 6,000 police ofﬁcers, the BUF’s supporters, known as Blackshirts, more than met their match. United under the rallying cry, “They shall not pass,” an estimated 300,000 residents prevented the BUF’s entry to London’s East End, but

not without considerable bloodshed. The Battle of Cable Street mural, begun in 1976 and restored in 2011, vividly depicts the violent confrontation of that Oct. 4 day.We propped up our bikes and lingered to admire the colourful tribute to this community’s resilience. Following French Huguenots in the 17th century, Irish in the 19th century and Ashkenazi Jews into the 20th century, Bangladeshis form the main group of immigrants living here today. On nearby Brick Lane, clubs, pubs, markets, and some of the best curry restaurants in the U.K. compete for space. On weekends it’s packed. On a quiet Tuesday afternoon we cycled down the middle of Brick Lane just wishing we could stop for a chicken tikka masala.

Before we returned to Mathew’s bike store on Shoe Lane, we stopped at Postman’s Park, once a popular spot for General Post Office workers. In 1900 it became home to the Watts Memorial to Heroic Self Sacrifice.Thirteen years earlier, an ardent socialist named George Frederick Watts had first proposed a park commemorating otherwise ordinary people who’d given their lives attempting to save others. Fire, drowning and train accidents dominate the brief but brave stories documented on glazed Doulton tablets. Like so many of the stops on Mathew’s tour, Postman’s Park felt like a refuge from London’s bustle. It was only as we left I realized that first job of mine was just a few streets away.

Let Fido exercise his sense of smell For the last few weeks I have been covering some basic yet very important canine needs and explaining how keeping these needs satisfied helps a dog be calmer and social. In this last week of the canine needs series, I will discuss a dog’s need to use its nose. That very large appendage located between a dog’s eyes that extends anywhere from one to five inches further than ours is an incredible — no, I will use the word miraculous — series of scent receptors that are tens of thousands of times more sensitive than ours.To get an idea how powerful that is I will use the analogy of our vision. It’s like what humans can see at one-third of a mile, dogs can see more than 3,000 miles away and still see it clearly.They can catch the smell of one rotten apple within two million barrels! Dogs possess up to 300 million olfactory (scent) receptors to our six million. The part of their brain devoted to analyzing odour is 40 times larger than ours. The design of their nose is no accident.Those notches at the side help hold on to a scent.When a dog exhales, the spent air exits through the slits at the sides of their nose, which creates a swirling effect.This swirl allows them to continue taking air in through the front nasal holes and taking in odour as well.There is also a fold of tissue just inside their nostril which separates the functions of breathing for oxygen and sniffing for odour.These nasal designs allow a dog to sniff for odour continuously while breathing for oxygen at the same time. Dogs are also able to move each nostril independently and thus focus their mental energy on each nostril independently to fine tune the location of a particular scent. Almost like the eyes of a chameleon. Isn’t that the coolest design ever? No wonder my dogs hung around the kitchen on Thanksgiving.

Canine Connection wine, the butter, the apple pie, etc. This incredible ability is not exclusive to hounds, which are typically associated with intense sniffability, but all dogs. If a dog has a nose, it smells its way through this world. This is also why a dog can’t help itself while out on a walk — it has to stop and smell the roses or whatever is around. Given the amazing anatomical design of their nasal cavity and the amount of brain devoted to sniffing, locating and interpreting odour, it is fair to say that smelling is probably our dogs’ greatest need and the one they are given the least opportunity to express. Most dogs get some degree of nasal satisfaction by sniffing and investigating odours on walks. But they never really use that tool to its full potential. Surprisingly, for some dogs, this can lead to behavioural issues resembling hyperactivity, impatience and lack of self control. They need to use their brain through their nose. All that scent-devoted thinking and processing of scents always calms a hyperactive dog. They develop focus and impulse control.The best way to satisfy that nasal need is through scent work. Scent detection work includes area searching or tracking.These are two completely different ways of utilizing a dogs ability to locate, indicate and follow a scent. Now we are not talking about searching for contraband or lost people, but rather teaching the dog the same methods of detection but instead of drugs they are finding treats, or aromatics. Instead of locating lost people they locate articles of clothing. Although in some of my advanced recreational

tracking classes, dogs are locating people strategically hidden in the forest. Fun! Participating in a structured training program is the best way to teach a dog to focus its scenting ability and use its nose to its full potential. But if taking a class is not your thing you can take a few treats and hide them around your home or in the yard and let Fido follow his nose and ﬁnd them at his leisure. Regardless, giving your dog the ability to exercise its nose should be made a priority.

New Handsworth senior girls field hockey coach Graham Walker doesn’t need any reminders that he’s got a tough task ahead of him this season in replacing Paul Winstanley, who retired from coaching after last season. All he needs to do is look into the rafters in the Handsworth gym to see three AAA provincial championship banners hanging, all of them won in the past three years.Winstanley, a longtime coach at the school, went out with a bang, first bringing the team it’s first provincial title in 2011 and following that up with two more for good measure. The responsibility now lies with Walker, promoted from his former position as junior team head coach at Handsworth, to keep the streak alive. Walker may not need to be reminded of the tough act he has to follow, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t hearing about it all the time. “It’s pretty traumatic, that’s for sure,” he said with a laugh when asked about taking the reins in the middle of a dynasty. “A number of the parents have told me that I’ve got huge boots to fill. It’s like, ‘I know that.’” So far this season Walker has proven See Field page 30

at the annual UBC tournament after classes resumed. Their biggest test, and biggest triumph, came last weekend at the prestigious Bridgman Cup, an inviteonly tournament that has been played on Vancouver Island since 1937.The Royals claimed gold at Bridgman, a tournament considered a close second behind the provincial championships in terms of importance on the ﬁeld hockey calendar. Handsworth topped Crofton House 2-1 in the semiﬁnals before beating Shawnigan Lake in a shootout — with goalkeeper Cooper Rowe coming up with two big saves — following a tight 1-1 tie in the championship game to claim the Cup. Walker was surprised and impressed by his team’s performance against some of the best squads in the province — both Crofton House and Shawnigan Lake had beaten the Royals

earlier this season. “We came off a banner year last year and I didn’t think we’d get off to such a good start this year, but we just came ﬂying out of the gates,” he said. “It exceeded my expectations to be able to come out my ﬁrst year and win (Bridgman). I chalk that all up to the team’s determination and effort. They really did want it. It’s fantastic. Most people as a player or a coach never get an opportunity to win one of these things. . . . I was pretty proud. I don’t know if it’ll ever happen again — I sure hope it does — but it’s a pretty nice honour.” The team is led by a core of Grade 12 players who were part of last year’s title team, including the powerhouse defensive trio of Jenna Birch Jones, Meghan Norlander and Sarah Walker. Power forward Laura MacLachlan, the leading scorer at the Bridgman Cup, leads the attack with fellow Grade 12 forwards KatieYoung and Rose Wilby. “We have a number of players on the team who have been accepted to U.S. schools to play on scholarship when they graduate, we have a number who were on the B.C. provincial team this past season or have been

on provincial teams in years past,” said Walker, adding that what was really successful at the Bridgman, and what ultimately could take them to a fourth straight title, is their depth and full-team attack. “To get No. 4 I think we need to do exactly what we did at Bridgman,” he said. “We’ve got to just keep that consistent team play up — that really is our single biggest asset, the fact that we play very well as a team — keep the positive attitude and effort going and just believe in ourselves, believe that we can get another series of wins against these really good, competitive teams.” The quest continues this week with matchups Tuesday against West Vancouver and Wednesday against Carson Graham, both 3:30 p.m. starts at Rutledge Field, before the abbreviated regular season comes to a close against Argyle Oct. 27 starting at 3:30 p.m. at William Grifﬁn Turf. The North Shore AAA ﬁnal is scheduled for Nov. 3 starting at 3 p.m. at Rutledge Field.The provincial championships will be played Nov. 12-14 here on the North Shore at Ambleside Park and Rutledge Field, hosted by Argyle secondary.
