Windstorm crashes wedding parties Couples say ‘I do’ by barbecue and candlelight BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

While Saturday’s latesummer storm was knocking out power and making life generally miserable, North Shore residents and businesses pulled together to make things go a little smoother. One wedding set to go on the dock at the Burrard Yacht Club ran into catastrophe before the couple could even say their vows. Quandra Werner was getting ready with her bridal party while her husband-to-be Jay was putting the ﬁnishing touches on their rented tent when a fateful gust blew in. “For about 90 seconds, the wind just kicked up so hard, it picked up the whole 90-foot side of the tent and ripped it off the dock,” Quandra said. “All you heard was just the constant crashing of all the wine glasses. Everything smashing. Everything was ﬂying — napkins, tables, chairs.” The groomsmen raced to hold on to the tent and the photographer’s wrist was badly injured, Jay said. “It was just devastation. Everything was lost. Our entire dream wedding was gone but also, I thought ‘We have to get through this. We have to get married,’” Quandra said. Guests, family and yacht club members

100 km/h winds cut power to 28,000 homes JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Close to 28,000 homes on the North Shore were without power at the peak of a powerful windstorm Saturday that sent trees crashing onto parked cars and down across the “Cut” on Highway 1 in North Vancouver. High winds sent one

70-year-old balsam ﬁr crashing down in the 1500block of Kings Street in West Vancouver, destroying two parked cars. A woman driving eastbound on the highway between Taylor Way and 15th Street also had her car hit by a falling tree about a foot in diameter, but luckily escaped without injury, said Jeff Bush, assistant ﬁre

chief at West Vancouver Fire and Rescue. Bush said some fallers driving westbound on the highway who saw the accident stopped their vehicle, jumped out and cut the tree off the car. “It was a noble thing to do, but not the safest thing they could have done,” he said. Highway 1 was also closed temporarily in

Storm scuttles celebrations From page 1

Little warning of storm’s intensity

Still, the newlyweds’ insurance will only cover a portion of the losses of the rental equipment, and right now, the couple are looking at upwards of $9,000 in debt as a result. Lonsdale Event Rentals has since forgiven the couple’s end of the contract. Bethany Jones and Adam Pawlovich’s wedding at Hollyburn Country Club too was upended, although not in such spectacular fashion. The wedding party was out having their photos taken when the winds picked up and they learned their ceremony and reception would be in darkness. “That’s didn’t go so well. One of bridesmaid’s eyelashes were blown off because of the wind and we realized we needed to go under cover,” Jones said. “I just figured. It’s going to happen, it’s going to happen. We’re going to get married and it’s going to be fine at the end of the day. It was still fun.” Hollyburn staff rejigged the wedding feast to be cooked on barbecues and the hall was quickly updated with hundreds of candles, lanterns and flashlights, giving the night an ethereal, dreamlike feel, Jones said. “The candles were really beautiful. It made it very intimate,” she said.

arborists worked across the North Shore to clear trees that fell on fences, sheds and houses, BC Hydro crews had their work cut out trying to restore power. Approximately 27,650 homes were without power on the North Shore on Saturday and 19,357 remained in the dark on Sunday. An unlucky 11,000 customers were without power Monday. By Tuesday, power was restored to all but a handful of customers. The power outages and flying debris kept municipal crews busy throughout the weekend. In the City of North Vancouver, crews had to hook up a manual pump system to a sewage station at Bewicke Avenue to keep the sewer from overflowing after power failed there. Work crews in West Vancouver were busy juggling generators between pump stations for similar reasons. At the peak of the storm on Saturday — between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. — southeasterly winds off Point Atkinson in West Vancouver measured 102 kilometres an hour, said Environment Canada meteorologist Matt MacDonald. MacDonald said the storm rapidly intensified as it approached the West

We had to jump up and grab the frame of the tent and hang off of it to pull it down. We were actually pulled two or three feet into the air,” said festival organizer Tyler Pearson. “We managed to not let it get destroyed and not get hurt. It was nuts.”

Still, the event proved to be a smash, ﬁguratively. “It was crazy but the volunteers persevered. Our staff persevered. Somehow the gods gave us a break (Sunday) and we actually had a festival and everybody showed up and it actually went off really well.” When much of Central Lonsdale was without power, Rosemary Rock Salt offered customers (nontoasted) bagels and allowed them to log their names into an IOU book. “During the storm, we just wanted to be a good

neighbour and provide what our customers needed when they came in,” said founder Parise Siegel. “We often do things like this because we want to give back and cultivate a better world in any way we can.” By Monday, about half of the 60 customers who took them up on the offer had come back to make good on bagel debt, but Siegel said she expected that number would climb. “Generally, people are really just super honest and they do come back,” she said.

Coast, which meant the weather ofﬁce only had time to give about three hours’ warning of the approaching windstorm. “Once we could see the whites of its eyes we realized it was going to be a severe wind maker,” he said. Previous months of drought and the fact the storm hit in August added to the damage tally, he said. “To throw that much wind at a full-leafed tree that’s already stressed by drought doesn’t give it much of a chance.” Rain brought from the remnants of a tropical storm this weekend dumped about three times the amount of rain that the region has had all summer in just three days, said MacDonald. The West Vancouver weather station measured 117 millimetres of rain between Friday and Sunday, while Mount Strachan recorded 134 mm at higher elevation. The storm marked a dramatic shift in weather patterns that have remained predominantly hot and dry since May. But the change won’t be permanent. MacDonald said warmer summer weather is expected to return for the Labour Day long weekend with highs of about 21 degrees. The extended forecast is also looking mostly warm and dry, he added.

Wrongful conviction ‘devastated’ NV family Prison release no release from ‘demons,’ Ivan Henry’s lawyer tells opening of civil trial

KEITH FRASER Contributing writer

A lawyer for a man who spent 27 years behind bars after being wrongfully convicted in a serial sexual assault case says his client and his family have been devastated by the wrongful actions of police and prosecutors. In his opening statement Monday, John Laxton, representing Ivan Henry, told B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson his client’s central claim is that the Crown breached his right to disclosure prior to trial and that the Vancouver police negligently investigated the case. Henry is also asserting that the federal government is to blame

for failure to provide a meaningful review for Henry, who was convicted in 1983, designated a dangerous offender and jailed indeﬁnitely. “The consequences to Mr. Henry and his family have been devastating, and the honour and integrity of the judicial system has been seriously harmed,” Laxton told the judge. “Mr. Henry now seeks compensation for the pain and suffering he has endured over these 33 years and for the pain and suffering that will continue for the next 20 years of his expected life. “His release from custody did not release him from the demons that haunted him during his custody.” Laxton said it was “open season” on Henry while he was in prison because other prisoners hold a low opinion of serial sex offenders. Henry was effectively on “death row” during his 27 years behind bars, he said: “He never knew when his throat would be slit.” Laxton said the case is unusual in that it was the ﬁrst time that a wrongful conviction case in Canada

West Vancouver Denture Clinic Certiﬁed in BPS system

has had to be brought before the courts. Previous cases have resulted in outof-court settlements, he said. “It will be a proceeding that should never have been necessary,” said Laxton. “We trust that your lordship’s judgment will provide such a damning condemnation of the treatment of Henry that the government will think twice in the future before they embark on such a reckless disregard for a citizen’s rights.” Laxton said it was especially troubling that the City of Vancouver defendants deny the fact of the wrongful conviction and still assert guilt in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. “It’s an approach that denigrates the value of the years of his life lost. It’s an approach that ﬁnds Henry’s life was of no value whatsoever.” Regarding the police investigation, Laxton pointed to what he called a “farcical” lineup conducted after Henry’s arrest in 1982 following a series of sexual assaults against women. Henry had the right

to refuse to participate in the lineup and did refuse to participate, but was dragged yelling and screaming into the room and held in a choke hold by one officer, said Laxton. “Anyone looking at that picture would know who the police suspected was the perpetrator,” said Laxton. He said police pressured one of the female complainants into identifying Henry. He argued that one officer’s conduct was unprofessional, citing a letter from the complainant to the cop after Henry’s conviction. In the letter, the complainant thanked the officer, retired detective William Harkema, for “fine efforts” that have brought a conviction and added that the cop is like her “guardian angel.” “You have a very special place in my heart,” wrote the complainant, who cannot be identified due to a publication ban. “Take care of those blue eyes and don’t work too hard.” Laxton said “oppressive and unethical” techniques

VIEWPOINT PUBLISHED BY NORTH SHORE NEWS A DIVISION OF LMP PUBLICATION LTD. PARTNERSHIP, 100-126 EAST 15TH ST., NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. V7L 2P9. PETER KVARNSTROM, PUBLISHER. CANADIAN PUBLICATIONS MAIL SALES PRODUCT AGREEMENT NO. 40010186.

Are you prepared? S o, how long was your power out? That has been the opening line this week in many a conversation among friends and family across the North Shore and throughout Metro Vancouver. The ferocious windstorm that whacked the region Saturday blew down trees, closed roads and knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people. And that is good news. Consider #bcstorm a practice run for the Big One, about which we’ve all been warned for years — and for which many of us have failed to prepare. Rather than a full-on spurned-lover slap in the face, the windstorm was a gentle pat on the cheek reminding us to wake the heck up and get ourselves, our families and our homes prepared in case a real disaster happens — and not being able to watch TV or charge your iPhone for a day are not disasters. Consider this: Some North Shore residents were without power for just a few hours, others for 30

MAILBOX

hours and, as a result, fast-food restaurants and grocery stores were overrun with customers, the latter even running out of ice as people sought to keep food from spoiling. In the case of a major earthquake, we’ve all been warned we’ll need to be self-sufﬁcient for 72 hours — that means we need to be able to secure our homes and keep ourselves safe, warm, fed and hydrated without looking to authorities or other outside sources for help. How many of us were able to do that even for six hours on the weekend? That’s why the storm was good news. Most of us escaped unscathed with a greater understanding of what we’ll need in a real emergency, and now we have time to take the necessary steps. Not sure what to do? There are tips at getprepared.gc.ca. So, you know, get prepared. And one more thing: A big thank-you to the BC Hydro crews, emergency responders and municipal workers who put in plenty of time dealing with the aftermath of the storm.

The Cut rivals infamous M25

Dear Editor: There is a motorway (highway) in England, the M25; better known as The Parking Lot.Yesterday I saw, once again, our own Cut Parking Lot.We are told that it is due to workers who cannot afford to live here,

people who work downtown or across the bridge(s), many accidents from careless drivers and here is one for you: families whose relatives now live out in the Fraser Valley — for the same reasons as workers. The M25 is bad due

to multiple reasons as well — the route to two airports (Gatwick and Heathrow) and to the Chunnel, now complicated by trucks attempting to import/export goods and snarling up trafﬁc. (On Aug. 18 on the M25) a crash caused an 11-mile

queue.While I was there, trafﬁc was so bad they closed a motorway to have two rows of trucks “stacked” side by side; there were lines both sides of the channel. We are not there yet but if something is not done soon, the ticking people bomb will

explode. We need rapid transit today. Maybe we should tie balloons to our backs and ﬂoat over? Thank heavens I am retired. Janet Dysart North Vancouver

Third crossing not a regional transportation priority Dear Editor: Re: Gridlock Leaves Time to Ponder, Aug. 30 Mailbox (Letter-writer) Mr. Zoltan Bosnormeny asked what I am doing to address gridlock on the Upper Levels Highway. This is the top quality of life issue facing North Vancouver residents.I am pleased to have this opportunity to respond. I was proud to recently

deliver $46 million in federal infrastructure funds from Ottawa, to build new, modern interchanges and overpasses on the Upper Levels Highway, at Mountain Highway, Mount Seymour Parkway and Dollarton Highway. Once complete, this will end stopand-go trafﬁc on The Cut, ease congestion approaching

CONTACTUS

(the) Second Narrows (bridge) and meaningfully improve the lives of North Vancouver residents. The federal government also contributed $24 million to purchase two new SeaBuses, the Burrard Otter II and the Burrard Paciﬁc Breeze. With respect to a potential third crossing

of the Burrard Inlet, priorities for major regional transportation projects are set by TransLink’s mayors’ council and the province. I would aggressively advocate for federal funds for a third crossing, were that to emerge as a community priority. With the projected increase in the North Shore’s population, I know that this

is issue of concern to my constituents. I am keen to hear from your readers. Do you want a third crossing? Email me at andrew@andrewsaxton.ca, or text my campaign at 604441-5590. Andrew Saxton Candidate for Member of Parliament North Vancouver

On-ramps in need of upgrades Dear Editor: There are two access ramps onto the westbound Highway 1 that are accidents waiting to happen. One is at Capilano and the other at Lynn Valley Road. Both have limited views and short runups to access the highway. The view at the Lynn Valley one is blocked as the road leading to the highway is below the highway grade level.The Capilano access is acute and short. I don’t have access to accident reports for these two entrances but they would illustrate the necessity for major upgrades. Everyone I have contacted passed the buck or said there were no funds.

VIEWPOINT

Extreme weather may be the new normal

Elizabeth James

Just Asking

a senior environmental engineer in North Vancouver, wrote in the June 2014 issue of Municipal World that, “Increasing use of limited water supplies to meet agricultural, industrial and municipal demands is creating competitive pressure around fresh water resources. (There is) a growing need to manage (those) resources in a sustainable manner.” We have begun to understand that this year, in spades. The ﬁrst major warning arrived when local ski hill operations were starved for snow and for the revenues that accrue from those recreations. Most hills had below normal business and closed earlier than usual. Despite those warnings and a continued lack of precipitation, Metro Vancouver ofﬁcials were still telling us in February, March and beyond that there was no need for concern, that our reservoirs were OK and that sprinkling regulations would kick in on schedule. Unfortunately, Mother

all municipalities in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley (perhaps even Union of B.C. Municipalities) to form expert advisory committees to develop a plan of action based on the assumption that rain and snow events will continue at below normal levels. If that could be done, it is essential for members of

the public to be involved — because the necessary changes will not succeed unless regulators can achieve a high level of cooperation from their communities. In his closing remarks to me, Patzert said, “You are living in a warmer world and should expect punier snow-packs … plan for less snowpack in the future.

This will change how you manage your water in British Columbia — forever.” “In summary,” he said, “I suggest you change your water lifestyles.Water and energy conservation should be permanent because, as Yogi Bera said, ‘the future ain’t what it used to be.’ ” rimco@shaw.ca

With the rain forecast for last weekend arriving as predicted, Lower Mainland residents may now hope they can settle down and wait for Mother Nature to ﬁll our reservoirs and enable life to return to normal in a rainyVancouver. For the long-term, those hopes may be in vain if local weather forecasters and climate experts like William Patzert are correct. In continuing his response to my questions, Patzert, a climatologist with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, explained that the effects of the “blob” — unusually warm water 100 metres deep and roughly the size of British Columbia — are still strong. “Sitting in the Gulf of Alaska, this phenomenon caused a blocking of high-pressure systems and is related to your drought,” he said. If this pattern is wiped out by strong North Paciﬁc storms and heavy rains, Patzert believes we could get relief. “But if the El Niño is strong, the jet stream should (be expected to) stay north of B.C., in which case, place your bets on continuing drought,” he said. Locally, in writing about the need for water reuse and recycling, Dr.Troy Vassos,

Nature proved them wrong; we should have been asked to cut back on unnecessary water use much earlier than happened. As a result, municipalities, developers and gardening enthusiasts carried on as usual to buy and plant expensive annuals, perennials and trees which now can be seen withered throughout the Lower Mainland. Even during our Stage 2 water restrictions, in a “do as we say, not as we do” way, some municipalities continued to pulse thousands of gallons on soccer ﬁelds — even though they advertise that healthy lawns only need one inch of water a week to stay that way. Pity the poor people who did as they were advised and ordered nematodes to deal with infestations of the European chafer beetle in their lawns. In order to survive, those nematodes needed regular irrigation at a time when water restrictions had reached Level 3 “no watering your lawn.” Lawn-care companies, window-washers, car-wash operations and many other water-dependent businesses have suffered and/or cancelled much-needed jobs. Now, it seems we have two options: Remain optimistic, “Stay Calm and Carry On” on as though this summer was merely a blip or, plan for the worst even while hoping for something better for 2016.

Countless appeals filed from prison From page 5

were used by police to persuade the victim to identify Henry. He said that the Crown failed to disclose important material, including the initial statements to police from the complainants, statements that contradicted the testimony of the victims at trial. Henry was arrested in July 1982 and charged with three counts of rape, two counts of attempted rape and ﬁve counts of indecent assault in connection with a series of attacks on Vancouver women over a two-year period. The assaults involved an assailant who broke into ground-ﬂoor and basement

suites late at night. Henry maintained his innocence while serving his sentence and ﬁled countless appeals, motions and applications from prison, all of which were dismissed. But following a review of sexual assaults, the criminal justice branch appointed special prosecutor Len Doust to investigate whether a miscarriage of justice had occurred in Henry’s case. The review showed that another man may have been responsible for at least some of the attacks. In January 2009 the B.C. Court of Appeal ﬁnally agreed to reopen his case. He was released on bail in June 2009 and moved in with his daughter

in North Vancouver. Then in October 2010, the Court of Appeal quashed Henry’s convictions and entered acquittals after ﬁnding there wasn’t enough evidence to properly convict him. The current trial, which was initially expected to hear from 200 witnesses including Henry, now is expected to hear from about 60 witnesses, said Laxton. Henry and his daughter Tanya Olivares sat quietly in the packed public gallery during Laxton’s opening statement. The trial continued Tuesday with Olivares testifying. – The Province/Paciﬁc Newspaper Group

Wad of cash, hockey bag baffle WVPD BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

West Vancouver police are hoping to reunite some probably badly missed items with their rightful owners — an envelope full of cash and a hockey bag full of equipment. Police say an elderly woman came to the Whole Foods at Park Royal South on Aug. 1. While there, she left an envelope containing

“a large sum” of money at the till. Police only describe the woman as being in her late 70s. The envelope was from a Toronto Dominion Bank branch, they say. “All efforts to locate the female and return the money to her have been unsuccessful,” a release from West Vancouver police stated. On Aug. 25, ofﬁcers were called to the Hollyburn neighbourhood when a resident on the

1300-block of Haywood Avenue reported her car had been broken into. The vehicle had been left unlocked overnight and the owner believed it had been rummaged through. Though only some loose change had been taken, police did ﬁnd a hockey bag left next to the vehicle. Police believe it was likely taken from somewhere in the neighbourhood. “West Vancouver Police canvassed the

neighbourhood, but were unable to locate the owner of the bag. As the bag was located next to the car that had been rummaged through, investigators believe it was taken from the area as well,” investigators said in a release. Anyone with information about the owner of the cash or hockey equipment is asked to contact West Vancouver police at 604-925-7300.

Dorm room packing tips Organization key to a smooth back-to-school transition

GREEN GUIDE page 14

Are you off to university? Well you’re not alone. It’s hard to believe the summer is wrapping up and the stores are bustling with back-to-school students once again. Some of you will be leaving home and will set up your own home away from home in your dorm room or apartment. For many students this can be a daunting task, but don’t worry, with a little planning and organization the process should go very smoothly. Here are some tips and tricks that may assist you in preparing for your big day. First, always pack properly. This is important because it will help with the unpacking process on the other end. Use coloured duct tape on your boxes, carefully labelling what’s inside. Cardboard boxes are great because you can break them down easily once you’re done and place them in the recycling bin. We all know there is a very limited amount of space for storage in a dorm room. Use chalkboard paint on your portable storage containers. Or purchase chalkboard labels at

Michaels. This idea is great for large desk organizers as well as your bathroom articles. Over time if you decide to change the contents of the container just wipe the chalkboard clean and rewrite the label. A shower caddy makes a great organizer.

For anyone seeking to create their own sanctuary in the garden where they live the choices can seem overwhelming. Choosing the correct plants, understanding the soil, considering the local climate and many other decisions are daunting. But the joy of gardening comes often from the learning process of trying different things and even if it doesn’t work out the experience adds to your overall knowledge. Author Heidi Howcroft and photographer Marianne Majerus want to help with those choices and together they have produced an extensive book of ideas that are beautifully presented and cover an enormous variety of gardens. Starting with the basics they explain, along with plenty of photographs, what questions you should begin with. From there they expand into elements of style and move on to look at structures, paths, and the wide choices of stones and the impact they can have on presentation.

With hundreds of photographs and accompanying descriptions there is a wealth of ideas here to draw on for your own garden creation. ••• ■ The Irish Garden, by Jane Powers, Frances Lincoln Limited Publishers, 400 pages, $65. There is nothing like the lush green foliage throughout Ireland. The unique climate there has created the opportunity for an enormous variety of plant growth. This environment led to the creation of fabulous gardens, some dating back hundreds of years. More than 50 amazing gardens are featured in this stunning collection. Author Jane Powers provides all the details of the history and evolution of the

gardens while photographer Jonathan Hession captures their beauty in a series of striking images that follow them through the seasons. Travelling to locations in both the Republic and Northern Ireland we are given an exclusive behindthe-scenes tour of the gardens. They range from the enormous Powerscourt in County Wicklow with its massive terraces and gardens that originated in the 1700s, to the Glebe Gardens in County Cork where Jean and Peter Perry have created an organic garden from cattle grazing ﬁelds that is now a tourist attraction due to its incredible beauty and productiveness. Hession’s photographs show the grand expanses but also the smaller details that combine to give an impressive rendering of the essence of each garden. —Terry Peters

access on a regular basis. A plastic hanger fitted with inexpensive plastic shower rings makes a fantastic scarf holder. Simply purchase a package of plastic shower rings and clip them on to the clothes hanger. Insert one or two scarves into each shower ring and hang in your closet. Another great item to have on hand is magnetic tape. This is great to apply to the inside of desk drawers and bathroom cupboards. This tape will hold bobby pins, barrettes, paper clips and other small items. Don’t forget about bringing a small first aid kit.You can purchase these at local pharmacies. Keep it in your desk drawer. Another idea is to label your phone and computer chargers. These are items that are always borrowed or lost so it’s a good idea to personalize them. The Internet has many great websites that offer “ultimate dorm room packing lists.” These are wonderful for using before you go. It may be a good idea to find one and print it off as a final checklist. Barb Lunter is a freelance writer with a passion for home decor, entertaining and floral design. barb@lunter.ca lunter.ca

BACK to SCHOOL

First-year jitters OK, says Cap adviser ROSALIND DUANE rduane@nsnews.com

The beginning of first year at university or college can be anxiety-inducing for both parents and their kids. But Marnie Findlater has a message for both: it’s OK to feel overwhelmed. Findlater is an academic adviser and admissions officer at Capilano University and routinely talks to incoming students and their parents, especially at this time of year. Her advice is to try to relax and enjoy the start of the new adventure. For parents specifically she says: “Expect them (your kids) to feel challenged and overwhelmed, and realize that you have to let them experience that a little bit, that you won’t have the same amount of control that you did over high school.” Expect your kids to struggle a bit in the first few weeks, but it’s important for students entering post-secondary education to learn some independence that can aid their long-term success. For students the message is the same: “It’s fine to be overwhelmed, it’s OK to not know what it is that you want to do.” The most common question she is asked by parents and students is how university will be different from high school. She tells them that the main difference is the student will be responsible for his or her own learning. Post-secondary instructors don’t police students in the same way when it comes to attendance and assignments. “Because you’re in charge of your own learning you’re only going to get out as much as you put into it,” says Findlater. The style of learning is also different from high school, she notes.

Findlater has some advice for students entering ﬁrst year or starting a new program. First, start with the basics: Eat well, sleep well, and drink

lots of water.Take care of yourself.This can have a huge affect on your ability to focus. Second, remember that all post-secondary institutions should have a variety of student support services available to help. Most are free and confidential. Couselling and career development offices can help with resumes, cover letters, and even preparing for a first interview. Every campus will have a student service area dedicated to financial aid and awards, and that office will hold workshops throughout the year on how to prepare and follow a budget, as well as how to apply for loans, scholarships, and bursaries.The financial aid and awards office is not just for students who have loans. And there are plenty of student clubs and student societies to check out, or start a new one if you have an interest that isn’t being covered. Also don’t to be afraid to ask your instructor if you have questions. “They expect it,” says Findlater, adding instructors won’t know that you don’t understand a concept they’re teaching in class if you don’t tell them. All instructors have office hours, don’t be afraid to use them. Post-secondary libraries can also be intimidating, but they should always have a staff librarian on hand when the library is open to help students navigate and find the resources they’re looking for. Most schools even have a computer resource centre if you’re having trouble managing a photocopier or library computers. When asked what students should be thinking about now in the final weeks before schools starts, Findlater has one word: budget. Student loans should be in place by now for those students using financial aid. And if you have been working full time over the summer you may not be able to work full time hours while attending school, but if you are now is the time to consider how you will manage school work at the same time. Time management is the most important skill to master before and during first year, notes Findlater. Her advice is to be realistic when building your schedule, she says.You might have deliberately put all your classes on two days of the week, but don’t be under the misconception that that’s free time.You’ll have to be using that time for something. “If you know that you’re going to watch Netflix for two hours every night, build that into your schedule,” she adds. If you are an athlete, build practices into your schedule. If you need eight hours of sleep a night, budget accordingly. Be realistic about how long it will take to do assignments, including research, writing, editing and revising. Findlater also has some advice about choosing first-year courses. “It’s OK to be curious,” she says, adding your first year can be one of exploration. “You don’t have to rely on subjects that you were good at in (high) school, you can take a course that you think would be challenging or that you think would be interesting because that’s the only way you’re going to know moving forward whether or not that’s something you want to pursue longterm.”

There can be both short-term and long-term consequences of improper backpack use. Short term Pain, stiffness, as well as numbness or pins and needles in the back, neck, shoulders and arms. Long term Altered alignment of the spine, damage to the vertebral discs (also known as the “shock absorbers” of the spine). Using the Canadian Physiotherapy Association Guidelines as a reference, we have compiled some easy tips for choosing the right backpack and wearing it correctly. These simple guidelines apply to children and adults alike.

bldJd ;L9>gKJkg9

Choose it Padding: on the back and shoulder straps Straps: wide shoulder straps (two inches) and a hip strap to help distribute weight Depth: shallower bags help keep weight close to your centre of gravity (or look for compression straps to help stabilize the weight close to your back) Height: between your shoulders and hip Width: no wider than your back Pack it ■ Less than 15 per cent of your body weight. ■ Pack only what you need

and take advantage of your locker or desk space to avoid carrying all your belongings all day. ■ Heavy items close to your back and centered in the bag. Wear it ■ Lift the bag using your legs (bend your knees instead of your back). ■ Put the bag on a ﬂat surface behind you then put on one shoulder strap at a time. ■ Always wear both shoulder straps (and the hip strap if you have it). ■ Straps should be tight enough so the bottom of the bag sits at the top of the hips, but loose enough so your arms can move freely. ■ Stand and walk with your ears, shoulders, and hips in a vertical line. ■ If you use a shoulder or wheeled bag, be sure to switch the shoulder/hand you carry it with regularly to avoid developing imbalances.

Kids are back, slow down, drive safe ■ Reduce your speed. Be more careful in residential areas where children are present. Respect speed limits in school zones and playground zones. ■ Stop for school buses displaying the ﬂashing red lights and the extended stop arm. In most cases, trafﬁc in both directions must stop for school buses. Do

not continue on until the ﬂashing lights stop. ■ Never overtake other vehicles within a school zone or within a half block of any crosswalk. ■ Avoid U-turns and threepoint turns in school zones. Children can have a difﬁcult time predicting these types of vehicle manoeuvres. ■ If you must drive your

kids to school, let them off away from trafﬁc, usually that is the passenger side of the vehicle. ■ Walk a block.To help avoid vehicle congestion in the immediate vicinity of the school, consider parking a short distance away, and walk your kids the rest of the way. Canada Safety Council

BACK to SCHOOL

Tips for the end of summer MICHAEL FIELD Contributing writer

My whole life I have looked forward to September with a mix of keenness and apprehension. I went from being a student to a teacher, and then a principal. So I have lived my whole life by a school schedule, and I know how most school-age kids feel in late August. One thing about seeing back-to-school anxiety from a variety of perspectives is you start to understand what is worth worrying about and what isn’t.You see how some families set their kids up for a successful year, and how other families seem to spin their wheels. Here are a few areas you can focus your energy that I hope will help you be in the former category.This is loosely targeted at parents whose children are in the general range of grades 3 to 8. Re-starting the brain There is no reason to panic if your child has lost a good part of the learning momentum they had in June.There is always some regression over the summer. Teachers understand and accommodate for this backslide. However, you will be doing your child a favour if you can get them into some learning routines a week or two before the school year begins. It should not be superrigorous.You should try to select something together that they enjoy doing. For example, if they like drawing, set up a routine where they draw for an hour in the afternoon. Do they like doing things with multimedia? Let them work on a summer slideshow. If they enjoy reading and they are already spending their free time with a book, just leave them alone and encourage them. Ideally, it should be something they select that would be applicable to the classroom.This routine will get them to recall what they enjoyed about school and give their academic conﬁdence a boost come September. Re-establishing a morning routine Try to start by getting your kids up a little earlier each day heading into the start of school. Be warned, however, just getting them out of bed for the sake of getting them out of bed will end up being an uphill battle. This job will be much easier if there is something scheduled for them. If they have already had their ﬁll of summer day camps, try a family outing (camping trip, day hike, museum). Early mornings can be promoted by setting up a nighttime routine as well (getting clothes laid out for the morning, having a bath or shower by a certain time, and limiting screen time an hour before bed).

Socializing This point is important if your child has some social anxieties about the upcoming year.Your child does not need to be “cool” or popular, but they do need a dependable circle of school friends they can hang out with. If your child does not live in close proximity to their school, and has mostly been playing with neighborhood friends, it might be time to be intentional about inviting over some school peers so they do not have to walk into the schoolyard not having seen anyone for 10 weeks. If your child is at an age where they organize their own activities, you can facilitate their social life by offering to drive. Scheduling School websites are normally updated one to two weeks before the first day of school, so it would be good to start checking your school calendar now.Typically, the first month has a more irregular schedule. Mark upcoming events on your family calendar, which should be large and in a central place. Ideally, everyone (including your kids) should be in the habit of checking it and updating it.That way students end up taking more ownership of their schedule. The sooner students learn to take some responsibility for their schedule, the more organized the household will be. Hopefully, these strategies will get your child more comfortable with the transition back to school, worry less, and enjoy every last day of their vacation.

Returning to school not so scary ROSALIND DUANE rduane@nsenws.com

At the age of 53, Kelly Wakefield decided to do a 360 and start a new career. She had been working in various roles in business since the age of 21, but last year found herself at the end of a contract and considering her options. “I thought what do I want to be when I grow up?” she recalls with a laugh. Looking back over her years in business, she thought about what she liked best and realized it was working with people and helping people. “That’s what directed me to this,” she notes about her decision to enrol in Capilano University’s Health Care Assistant program from which she graduated in July. She is now working as a residential care aide. “I absolutely love my decision,” says Wakefield. “I love what I’m doing.” She also enjoyed her time in the business industry, and still misses some of the people she previously worked with, but she has no regrets about going back to school to pursue something completely different. “Was I nervous at first? Yea,” she says, but explains that she felt welcomed by her classmates and instructors from the first day on campus. “The first day I was actually nervous,” she

Wakefield says she remembers being told what a gutsy move she was making heading back to school, but she doesn’t see it that way. “It’s not about that. I guess in a way it’s kind of a gutsy move, but I don’t want to say it’s a gutsy move,” she says. “It’s never too late to get an education.” Anyone can return

to school at any age, she believes, and encourages anyone who is interested to take a look at the options. “You’re never too old to learn,” she adds. The hardest part of returning to school was changing her mindset from one of a business professional to one of a student. Her business lexicon was replaced by a whole new set of knowledge, and she had to get used to sitting in class and studying. Sometimes she was tired, sometimes she had to ask for help, but it was all part of the experience. Her time with the other students was also very positive. Although she was

stopped on more than one occasion by students on campus asking for directions who thought she worked at the school, not realizing she was new there also, she recalls with a laugh. She was one of the older students in her class, but says it didn’t affect her working relationship with the others, and they got along so well they became somewhat of a little family. Wakeﬁeld can’t say enough positive things about her classmates and instructors, and encourages other mature adults to consider heading back to school if it’s something they want and not be intimidated by the idea.

VCH says now’s the time to check vaccinations

As summer winds down, Vancouver Coastal Health is reminding parents that now is a good time to ensure your children’s vaccinations are up to date. In a recent press release, Dr. Meena Dawar, VCH medical health ofﬁcer, noted that children starting kindergarten should have up-to-date booster shots to protect against polio, tetanus, diphtheria, chicken pox and whooping cough. While most of these infections are now rare in B.C. because of routine childhood vaccination programs, recent whooping cough and measles outbreaks are a reminder that these diseases are still around and can spread quickly among those who are unprotected, she added. Parents are asked to submit their children’s immunization record before their child begins attending school. If someone at school contracts a vaccine-preventable infectious disease, children who are not immunized may have to stay home until it is safe to return. By ensuring your child is immunized, not only are you protecting their health but those in the community as well, stated the release. Vaccines can be obtained for free from family doctors or from public health nurses at VCH community health centres. Visit vch.ca for kindergarten immunization times. To learn more about immunizations, you can download the booklet Immunization: An important choice you make for your child at vch.ca/media/parent_handbook_immunization_choice.pdf.

Outside play is important According to this year’s ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth, just 53 per cent of Canadian parents say their children’s routine includes participating in sport and/or physical activity programs through school, so it’s important for kids to engage in other types of active play. The 2015 report card suggests that access to unstructured active play in nature and outdoors is essential for healthy child

development. Children move more, sit less, and play longer when they engage in outdoor active play. ParticipACTION has developed a list of items to make it easy for kids to get involved in unstructured, active outdoor play. ■ Pedometer: Let your kids log the total amount of steps they take in a day and make a game out of getting healthy. ■ Rubber ball, chalk, skipping rope: Give kids something to encourage spontaneous, active games with friends.

■ Mobile phone: Many parents worry about the safety of their kids and a phone can help you stay in contact while your child engages in outdoor play. If you’d prefer not to send them to school with a phone, send them out with a buddy instead and have them call when they get home. ■ Jacket: Weather is one barrier to active play, so make sure children are ready for rain or shine. For more tips and tricks for keeping children active visit participaction.com.

Plan ahead to make mornings pleasant Mom gets up in the morning and has a relaxing shower. Dad heads to the kitchen where he puts on the coffee and sets the table for breakfast. He is then ready for his shower. Once Mom is dressed, the children, Jay, 8, and Madison, 10, jump out of bed ready for the day. They dress in the clothing that they carefully laid out the night before and come to the kitchen for breakfast. Breakfast is a happy meal with laughing and talking. Then the kids grab their backpacks and head out the door in plenty of time. They walk to school together ready for yet another day of learning. Well, that may happen somewhere but for most of us it’s a dream. But dreams can also be goals. And a new school year is a time to set new standards. How can we organize ourselves so that at least most school mornings will run smoothly? Decide today that this is a goal and involve the family in making it happen. It starts with day one. So plan now. I’m going to let you in on a little secret: your children don’t like the chaos and

Today we’ll look at the day-to-day reality of preparing to go to school. What to wear? Organize the closet so the school clothes are all together. If your child is a slow starter in the morning, have her choose her clothes the night before, but if she’s a morning person let her wait until she’s out of bed.

you. Some families set the breakfast table the night before so they’re ready to go. Some families make lunches at night, others in the morning. But involve the kids. They will eat the lunches they prepare. Of course you need to set some guidelines about what goes in the lunch bag. Now here’s the big question. How much time do you really need? I bet it’s a bit more than you give yourself. So get up a bit earlier and it will be worth it. Being organized can make your mornings better, but bottom line, if you haven’t allowed enough time for everyone to use the bathroom, have breakfast and get their stuff together, all the organization in the world is for naught. In many families as little as 15 minutes can make all the difference. Other things you can do to improve the morning is to give each child their own alarm clock and teach them how to use it.

Be excited for her and be optimistic. She needs support but she needs to see that you are excited and positive about her new step forward. The same is true for any new school. Whether you’ve moved and the kids have changed schools or they are entering middle school, junior secondary, or senior secondary, they need support. There’s a difference between the children who are moving to the next level of school and likely moving with friends, compared to those who are completely new to the

district. While you want the teacher to know that your child comes from another city, remember that all students are likely new to the teacher. Give both teacher and child a few days to get acquainted and then decide if you need to speak to the teacher and let her know your child is new. Often children do better without our help. With a little plan and forethought school mornings can be pleasant.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to EXCEPTIONAL CUISINE

Sushi satisfies in Central Lonsdale

Chris Dagenais

The Dish

ROMANCING THE STOVE Angela Shellard presents recipes for grapes page 26

A large caricature of chef Jordan Kim, owner of the eponymous Jordan Sushi in Central Lonsdale, greets diners at the entrance to the restaurant. The rendering is sort of like a highly stylized, twodimensional bobblehead that is not, in my very recently informed opinion, congruous with what the chef is trying to accomplish inside his stylishly appointed room. Kim’s menu is thoughtful, you see, and at times artfully creative, and is priced in a way to position itself as a premium offering. I visited Jordan Sushi on a quietTuesday evening with my frequent dining partner Gil. As we entered the restaurant we immediately clocked Kim sitting in the far corner of the room, working on a laptop. Only one other table, a deuce with two whispering patrons, was occupied and so the warm welcome we received from the team of young sushi chefs at the other end of the restaurant echoed through the room. We had our pick of tables and were approached within seconds by the sole front-ofhouse staff member working the room. Gil and I ordered a chilled bottle of Jinro Chamisul Soju to sip as we delved into the extensive and ambitious menu. The restaurant broadly organizes its fare with a

distinct and descriptive taxonomy that patrons of Bene Sushi inWest Vancouver might recognize; indeed, chef Kim helmed that kitchen prior to opening Jordan Sushi and has clearly imported his approach to this new venture. Patrons can choose from novel menu categories such as Exotic Rolled Sushi, Fried Sushi Rolls, Flamed Sushi Rolls, an eclectic grouping of Korean and internationally-inspired dishes called Jordan Fusion, as well as more common fare including nigiri, maki and crowd-pleasing starters like Gomae,Tempura, and Sunomono Salad. Gil and I share in common the perspective that no matter how far a sushi restaurant’s dishes push the boundaries of creativity, the true proof of its salt lies in its sashimi, those delicate morsels of unaltered raw ﬁsh that represent the freshest of what the kitchen has to offer and do not hide behind fussy seasonings, sauces, or other culinary sophistry. To that end, we asked our server for the promisingsounding, $50 Chef’s Special Sashimi. She told us that while this was an excellent choice, she regrettably couldn’t accommodate the request as it is a dish available by pre-order only due to the complexity and diversity of its contents. Now look, I’m not typically a self-important rabble-rouser and I certainly respect the policies a restaurant puts in place to ensure the quality of its food, but given the relative quietness of the evening and the fact that the menu doesn’t mention the preorder requirement, my stance on this response was slightly less laissez-faire than it would normally be. Accordingly, Gil boldly, but politely, approached chef Kim on our behalf and asked if an exception

And what an intoxicating, practiced magic it proved to be, the dish arriving a few moments later bearing some of the freshest, most exquisite fish I have consumed on Lonsdale Avenue. Toro, hamachi, sockeye, scallop, blue fin belly, white tuna (the name given to the sometimes maligned escolar, a fish whose flesh contains a certain wax ester that doesn’t always agree with the human digestive system, but seems to cause me no ill), and a wonderful calamari salad were among the immaculately fresh items on the plate, along with pale pickled ginger, lemon and mounds of spicy wasabi. Each piece of fish was mildly flavoured, beautifully

understated, and perfectly representative of its species, exactly what just-pluckedfrom-the-sea sashimi should be. My only criticism, and it is a relatively minor one in light of how good this fish tasted, is that the morsels were cut too large, their cumbersome size starkly contrasting the delicate, subtle nature of their flavour. With the quality of Jordan Sushi’s ingredients firmly established, we decided to venture farther afield, ordering the Italian-style red snapper from the Fusion menu. The dish was a hit, with its delicate morsels of barely cooked, ultra-fresh snapper that were bathed in a thin, light and tart olive oil and vinegar sauce. Al dente grilled bell peppers and lightly caramelized slivers of garlic added depth of flavour and Mediterranean notes. Another dish, the Unagi Flame Roll, was a dramatic showpiece, set ablaze

tableside with a brulée torch. The dish flamed and sizzled for a couple of minutes, providing better ambiance than any candle ever could, but we ultimately concluded that this particular item, essentially a California roll topped with baked, fresh water eel and steeped in rum for fire fuel, was more style than substance.The rum didn’t completely burn off and so the bottom portion of the roll was soaked in bracing, bitter alcohol that eclipsed the delicate flavours of crab, avocado and eel. Our meal, including the soju and two bottles of Kirin beer, was $120 before gratuity.

TASTE

Grapes make great appetizers, snacks plastic food bags and freeze. Voilà! Mini popsicles. Here are some other ideas to make the most of grapes while they’re at their best. Be sure to use only seedless varieties for these recipes. Napa Chicken Salad 2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast ½ cup coarsely chopped toasted pecans 1 cup halved red seedless grapes 1 cup thinly sliced celery 6 cups spring salad mix (designer greens) Dressing: ½ cup mayonnaise 2 tsp apple cider vinegar 2 tsp honey 1 tsp poppy seeds Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Angela Shellard

Romancing the Stove

I’ve been eating a ton of grapes this summer. They’re so crunchy and sweet that I can almost fool myself into thinking I’m eating candy (almost). Grapes are also a really healthy snack. All varieties contain polyphenols, a source of antioxidants. Apart from their health beneﬁts, grapes taste fantastic and are favourites with kids (like anything that’s naturally bitesized). Frozen grapes make a really refreshing warmweather snack. Just remove grapes from their stems, place them in

In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until well blended. Cover and refrigerate dressing until ready to serve salad.To make salad, toss together

4 oz cream cheese, softened 4 oz soft goat cheese Approximately 30 red or green seedless grapes (or a combination of the two), plus more for garnish if desired 1 cup ﬁnely chopped toasted hazelnuts or pecans In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and goat cheese until well blended. With your hands, form about a teaspoon of the cheese mixture into a ball around a grape so the grape is completely covered. Roll each ball in the chopped nuts. Refrigerate until cheese ﬁrms up. Skewer each ball with a toothpick (you can skewer another “naked” grape on the toothpick above the cheese ball to let people know what’s inside). Makes about 30 appetizers.

20 baguette slices (about a half-inch thick) 1 cup quartered red grapes ¾ cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese ¼ cup honey Preheat oven to 450º F. Place baguette slices on a baking sheet and bake for about three minutes or just until light golden brown. Divide the crumbled cheese evenly onto the baguette slices and return to the oven until the cheese is slightly melted, about another three minutes. Place a few grape pieces on top of each crostini then drizzle each one with a little honey. Serve immediately; makes 20 appetizers. White Chocolate Dipped Grapes 1 lb seedless grapes, removed from stems (try to ﬁnd nice, big, fat ones) 2 cups chopped white chocolate (use a bar of quality imported white chocolate, not white chocolate chips or baking chocolate because they don’t melt well) 1 cup ﬁnely chopped toasted almonds Place a sheet of waxed paper on a large baking sheet. Rinse the grapes and

Microwave the white chocolate in a shallow bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each one, just until melted. Place the chopped almonds in another shallow bowl. Skewer each grape with a toothpick and dip it into the

melted chocolate so grape is coated about halfway up; dip the bottom into chopped almonds. Place the grapes on the waxed paper until chocolate is hardened. Refrigerate in a covered container until ready to serve. Angela Shellard is a selfdescribed foodie. She has done informal catering for various functions. Contact: ashellard@ hotmail.ca.

Blues want their groove back

Capilano men counting on recruits from Sutherland andWestVan FC ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com

Two very successful soccer programs have smashed together to form the core of this year’s Capilano University men’s team, and the Blues are hoping the mix will propel them back to the top of the PacWest standings. Six players on this year’s team come from Sutherland secondary, including a handful of players that went to back-to-back provincial AAA ﬁnals, winning gold in 2013 and silver in 2014. The other well-represented squad is the West Van FC club team, including several members of the team that won this year’s U21 Provincial Cup after losing in last year’s ﬁnal. Capilano head coach Paul Dailly is counting on the players from those two programs to bring championship attitudes to a team that is in need of a boost. “Just to go through

those experiences obviously helps you coming into our situation as well,” said Dailly. “We’re going to be in the thick of things as well come playoff time, hoping to be competitive and be in those difficult situations with very meaningful games.” One thread uniting almost all of the players is a shared home identity — Dailly is still finalizing his roster but said that close to 90 per cent of the team will be made up of players from the North Shore. “They know of each other and know each other,” he said. “They’re definitely comfortable with each other already and like each other, which is great.They get along on and off the field, which is tremendous. That definitely helps going into your season.They’ve worked extremely hard in the preseason….They’re looking sharp, they’re looking fit.” The Blues start their

regular season on the road against Kwantlen Sept. 9 and Quest Sept. 12 before playing their ﬁrst home game Sunday, Sept. 13 starting at 2:30 p.m. (noon for the women) against Vancouver Island University.The goal is to have several points in the bag by the end of that weekend — last year the Blues found out just how hard life can be if you’re slow out of the gates. In 2014 Capilano started 1-3 but had their only win taken away because of the use of an ineligible player. By the end of the second week of the season they were 0-5. “I think (the forfeit) just took a little bit of wind out of the guys’ sails,” said Dailly. “They got that ﬁrst win, and to have it taken away like that — the next thing you know, we’re bottom of the league looking up. Unfortunately if you get off to an 0-5 start in this league you’re against the eight ball right away.

out on the playoffs by two points.” The team looks a lot different this year but there are some key players back, including captain See Blues page 30

Blues intent on regaining glory after four-year playoff drought

From page 29

Devan Woolley, a twotime PacWest all-star in his fourth year out of Sutherland. “He’s been rock solid for us, he really has,” said Dailly. “He’s gotten better every year we’ve had him as well.We’re expecting him to make another leap forward again.” Other veterans include Thomas Arnott, a ﬁfthyear defender from West Vancouver secondary, and North Vancouver’s Stewart Elliott. Dailly said he was excited about his rookie class, led by Sutherland grad Ty Barbieri who has already made his mark, scoring a hat trick in a 6-1 exhibition win over the West Van FC U21s (a team that was missing several players who are now wearing Capilano colours). “I’ve known his dad for years, I’ve known Ty for years and I’ve seen him grow up in front of my eyes,” Dailly said of Barbieri. “He’s quite

the athlete — basketball, ultimate, soccer…. He brings a lot to us. He’s very good attacking-wise.When we have the ball he makes smart runs, looks to get in behind. Hopefully he’s going to score his fair share of goals for us.” All of the Blues will be trying to halt an uncharacteristic drought. The Blues have won 11 provincial gold medals and six national championships since the league began play in 1970 but have not made the playoffs for the past four seasons since ﬁnishing second in 2011. “When you say it like that it really stings,” said Dailly when reminded of the drought. “We’ve just come up short quite a few times in a row here.” Dailly was adamant, however, that those fortunes would change this season. “To be honest, we’re done with that,” he said of missing the playoffs. “There are guys here like Devan and Thomas that have gone through these tough times with us.They’ve

seen a lot of success with the West Van program but for whatever reason they haven’t been able to do it up here. Hopefully this year everybody is on board, everybody wants the same result.They’re working extremely hard to get it done.” For Dailly, everything starts with Game 1. “Obviously we want to get off to a way better start than we did last year — that’s going to be the key coming out of the gates,” he said. “We want to right the ship.We’re starting fresh this year, it’s a fresh slate, lots of new bodies….We’ll just take it game-by-game, half-byhalf and look to build up some favourable results, get situated in the top part of the standings and hopefully go from there.” ••• Earlier this year Capilano head coach Paul Dailly earned the B.C. Soccer Adult Coach of theYear award for his work with West Van FC of the Vancouver Metro Soccer League.
