NORVAN FALLS

Delta man dies in fall deep in Lynn Headwaters BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

A 28-year-old Delta man has died after a fall in the North Shore mountains.

It’s the first fatality of the year in the backcountry. North Shore Rescue members were in the midst of responding to a call for two lost hikers on Crown Mountain around 6:15 p.m. Sunday when a more urgent call reporting an “unconscious collapse” came in from the BC Emergency Coordination Centre. The man had slipped and hit his head while crossing a shallow section of Norvan Creek, deep in Lynn Headwaters Regional Park. “He was unconscious and they weren’t able to wake him. Because they were in Lynn Headwaters, there’s no cell signal there. One guy had to run out seven kilometres before he got a signal to call

DEVELOPMENT

Moodyville plan gets green light

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

After 60 years spent serving as a reminder of the bungalow boom that followed the Second World War, the “future” has come to Moodyville.

Council voted in favour of a massive rezoning Monday that will quadruple Moodyville’s population from 1,000 residents to 4,000 and replace detached homes on 256 lots with approximately 1,890 ground-oriented wood-frame units.

Massive land assembly touted by mayor as vision for future There are still concerns over traffic, transit and what rents will be once the construction dust has settled, but for Mayor Darrell Mussatto the new Moodyville is “a vision for the way the world has to go.” “This is the future. The days of everybody having a

single-family home, unfortunately, are not here anymore,” Mussatto said. “We can’t cut down trees anymore and put in houses. We can’t use the farmland, we can’t fill in the inlet, so our only choice is to do better with what we have.” Council needs to give the project one more affirmative vote before shovels hit the ground. The townhouses will hit maximum heights of just under 40 feet and the apartments will be just under 50 feet – with both

Keith to close for bridge removal

Lynnmouth to Mountain Hwy shut down this weekend

ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com

The North Shore News claimed eight awards, including three golds, at the 2016 Ma Murray British Columbia Yukon Community Newspaper Awards gala held Saturday at the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond.

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

If you’ve got any sentimental attachment to the old Keith Road Bridge, now’s the time to get a photo.

The District of North Vancouver will be shutting down Keith Road for the entire weekend so the 70-year-old truss bridge can be lifted out of its current position and sent for scrap. Commuters may have noticed demolition teams installing an orange steel frame around the bridge this week. By Friday, they will have used jacks to lift the 360-tonne bridge up about 2.5 metres. From there, the old bridge will be slowly slid across a series of steel beams onto the new bridge and lowered onto a series of wheeled hydraulic dollies. Demolition crews will then roll the old bridge west and off the roadway where it will be cut apart. During that time, eastwest Keith Road traffic will be diverted down Mountain Highway and Brooksbank Avenue to Main Street. “We’ve got the closure for the whole weekend to give us the time to do it properly,” said Tyler Thompson, project engineer. “It’s a slow operation, as you can

News claims 3 golds at Ma Murray Awards

A demolition worker prepares to jack the 70-year-old Keith Road Bridge off its original foundation to make way for a new bridge. Keith Road will be closed to traffic from early Saturday morning to late Sunday night as a result. The bridge project is expected to be completed this fall. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD imagine, with the size of the bridge. … The demolition method we’re using is to try to minimize the amount of work that’s happening over the creek itself because it’s an environmentally sensitive fish-bearing creek.” As soon as the old bridge is gone, contractors can begin pile driving for the second half of the new bridge,

which is scheduled to be open this fall with five lanes – two east, two west, plus a turn lane exclusively serving Mountain Highway south, separating local and highway traffic. “The ultimate product that we’re gaining is the five lanes of traffic compared to the two we had before, leading to a better commute in

the east-west connection in North Van, which will eventually tie into the Ministry of Transportation’s Mountain Highway interchange project to the west and future Ministry of Transportation projects to the east. It’s one piece of the puzzle in this area,” Thompson said. And unlike the old bridge, which had only one

narrow sidewalk, the new bridge features separated 3.2-metre bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides. The new $12-million bridge is expected to last another 75 years. The district will also replant the 150 trees cut down to make way for the project at a three-to-one ratio.

The team of Jane Seyd, Justin Beddall and Maria Spitale-Leisk took home gold in one of the marquee categories, winning the Feature Series Award for their collaborative effort on a series of news stories detailing the Syrian refugee crisis, relief efforts by North Shore residents both locally and abroad, and the settlement of Syrian refugee families on the North Shore. Columnist Brendan McAleer won gold in the Arts & Culture Writing category for a feature on a North Vancouver auto garage that works on some of the rarest, most expensive cars in the world. Reporter Erin McPhee also claimed gold, winning the Environmental Initiative Award for a feature about a guerrilla garden tended by workers at North Shore Recycling Program Drop-Off Depot.

Redevelopment aims to fill housing’s ‘missing link’ From page 1 built according to the building standards of LEED Gold or better. While Mussatto promised the buildings would be “extremely efficient,” that wasn’t quite enough for Coun. Rod Clark. By not requiring developers to abide by the energy efficiency and noise mitigation of Passive House, which Clark touted as the building standard of the future, the neighbourhood is “losing out on that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Moodyville is “under siege” by noise, according to Clark,

himself a Moodyville resident. “Regrettably,” he said, “Moodyville is in the hands of the developers.” The city is set to take in $30.8 million through density bonus contributions and development cost charges. Approximately one-third of that money is earmarked for utility upgrades and neighbourhood features in Moodyville, but the rest could go toward Harry Jerome Recreation Centre or other city projects, according to a staff report. For some neighbouring residents preparing to adapt to increased density “forced upon us,” the developers are

getting a bargain. “We should demand more for developing this area since it is, as they call it, ‘a once-ina-generation opportunity,’” resident Cathy Lewis said. “Once it’s built, it’s done. We should take the time to get it right.” A city staff report highlighted East Third Street as a future recipient of rapid transit. Parking requirements in the neighbourhood will be slightly lower than in the rest of the city, with 1.2 stalls required for each townhouse instead of 1.5. In response to concerns about the new residents exacerbating Moodyville’s

traffic problems, Coun. Linda Buchanan cautioned that there was no “magic bullet.” Traffic will only be eased through a conscious effort to change some very old habits, she said. “If we choose to carry on in the way we have done for the last 50 years, we will end up with gridlock,” she said. “We need to be looking at other means and ways and taking the leadership.” While the majority of speakers were extremely supportive of the rezoning, there were lingering concerns over whether Moodyville could ever be a home for cashstrapped young people.

Just as with traffic, there is no “magic bullet” for affordable housing, according to Coun. Craig Keating. “Will it be affordable in the sense that you could rent here for the same price you might rent in a 50-year-old bungalow? Probably not,” he said. However, relying on the city’s older buildings to provide affordability is only a short-term solution, according to Keating. The long-term solution is to create more supply. “Housing is a commodity like any other commodity. If you restrict the supply relative to the demand, then ultimately what you end up with is higher costs,” he said.

In a city replete with singlefamily homes and towers, Moodyville’s wood-frame ground-oriented homes will fill the municipality’s “missing link,” Keating said. Coun. Holly Back agreed. “Moodyville is certainly a start to keeping our young people on the North Shore,” she said. The community support for the rezoning is evidence council has done a good job, according to Back. “How many times do we get where all the neighbours come and they’re happy?” Council voted 5-2 in favour with Couns. Clark and Pam Bookham opposed.

RCMP launch registry to combat record bike theft BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

It’s a dejection most urban dwellers have known at least once.

You come back to where you’ve dutifully locked your bike up, only to find a broken lock or cut chain in its place. North Vancouver RCMP has launched North Van Get Your Bike Back, a program aimed at getting stolen bikes back to their rightful owners. In September 2015, North Vancouver RCMP warned the public we were in the midst of a record year for bike thefts. Between January 2015 and May 6, 2016, there have been 349 reported thefts. RCMP also recovered 228 stolen bikes in 2015, although a great many

couldn’t be returned to their owners because there was no way to conclusively ID who they belonged to. “Last year, we recognized we were having a problem with bike thefts and because we believe a bike is more than just a recreational device – it’s sometimes a way of life for many people, that we needed to take action,” said Supt. Chris Kennedy, officer in charge of the North Vancouver detachment. In April, officers happened by a suspect well known to them, riding a $10,000 bike. Had the owner registered the bike in the program, police would have been able to quickly return it and seek charges, Cpl. Richard De Jong said. “Who doesn’t want to get their bike back after it’s

been stolen? What North Vancouver RCMP are asking the public to do, and it’s very simple, is register their bike with the police ahead of time before any unfortunate accident occurs and you’re found looking for your bike,” he said. Cyclists can get in the police database by sending an email to nvgetyourbikeback@rcmp-grc.gc.ca, which will autoreply with a form that can be filled out. The registry is meant to be in addition to oldfashioned gumshoe work, Kennedy said. “We’re not abandoning the old method of investigating. We have our plainclothes units out on a daily basis targeting these people with bait bikes and surveillance. We’re going to continue with this,” he said.

Community feedback ‘real reward’ From page 4

“All of us here at the North Shore News are extremely happy and proud of the recognition and awards that we have received,” said publisher Peter Kvarnstrom. “The real rewards are of course the feedback we get from our readers and community every week. “We truly believe that publishing ‘better papers’ every day is the only way to continue to engage our audience in a meaningful way. We take our role in building

community very seriously and are delighted when the work we do is recognized on the provincial stage. Our heartfelt thanks go to our dedicated staff and of course the great communities we have the privilege to serve.” Silver medals went to Seyd in Outdoor Recreation Writing for a feature celebrating 50 years of North Shore Rescue as well as photographer Cindy Goodman for Friendly Competition, a front-page photo of the Cameroonian national team taking on an all-star squad from the North Shore Girls

Soccer Club in a tune-up match before the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Bronze medals went to Christine Lyon in Outdoor Recreation Writing for a profile of “Uncle Al,” a colourful character who guides tours of Mount Seymour’s historic log cabins; Jeremy Shepherd in the Editorial category for a commentary on neighbourhood reaction to a proposed drug and alcohol recovery house, and Rosalind Duane in the Special Section Over 25,000 category for last summer’s Neighbourhoods series.

for help,” Danks said. The team scrambled two Talon helicopters but rescuers still had very little information to go on. When they tracked down the location, they found the subject still partially submerged in Norvan Creek, where two groups of strangers had taken turns doing compressions on him for more than an hour and a half. “These people did an amazing job,” Danks said. With an advanced life support paramedic on the rescue team, members rigged the man, who was not showing any vital signs, to recently donated oxylator and autopulse machines and flew him to a waiting ambulance. He was later pronounced dead at hospital. “He basically slipped and hit his head significantly enough that it knocked him out. That was probably the catalyst that forced him into cardiac arrest,” Danks said. “This was just a really freak accident, to be honest.” The incident underscores

They need to understand they made a mistake. I hate to say it but they got themselves into this situation and they need to get themselves out of it,” he said. “I just want to get the message out. When you call for help, it’s not a free ride in the (helicopter). We are going to do everything in our power to march those people back out.”

how satellite phones can be vital in a backcountry emergency, Danks said. BC Coroners Service is now investigating the death. The name of the deceased has not yet been released. Meanwhile, on Crown Mountain, rescuers were in search of two “completely unprepared” and “just incredibly naïve,” hikers who were stranded on a snow slope, Danks said. “They were wearing running shoes. They had no micro-spikes. They had no ice axe. They had a very small backpack with really nothing in it. They were hypothermic and they were in terrain that was over their heads, if you will,” he said. With only 10 minutes of light left, the team opted to

Nerd nation

t may have lacked the marimba band and the fireworks, but barely. Excitement was palpable this week as citizens across Canada grasped their federal government forms in sweaty palms and raced to their computers. Kim Kardashian may be dismayed, but in Canada we prefer to “break the Internet” when we rush online to fill out our census. Apparently we’re such geeks that we enjoyed tweeting out our forms almost as much as we thrilled to the words “mandatory census.” Some folks voiced disappointment that they didn’t get the long form. Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s assertions to the contrary, apparently Canadians aren’t so wound up about privacy. (Psychologists might refer to this as “projecting.”) Of course anyone in the PMO who has checked Facebook lately would already be aware of this.

But Canadians instinctively know there’s a qualitative difference between posting cat videos and telling the feds who we really are. After a dismal decade of a fingers-stuck-in-ears approach to information gathering from Ottawa, we’ve just been itching to get it out. One thing Canadians understand is that knowledge is power. Also, once you know something you can’t just ignore it. Which is why for the previous reality-averse administration, ignorance really was bliss. It some ways it’s hard to imagine in this age of wide-net data mining there’s anything not known about us. But our eagerness to share with Ottawa, and our faith that information be used as a force for good and intelligent decisions by our government, is heartening. We are happily a nation of nerds, collectively proclaiming “Census, welcome back.”

Growing housing crisis threatens family ties “The sustainability, livability and inclusiveness of our community is a key factor in making it a desirable place to live. We work with community groups and other agencies to address critical social issues that affect us all and ensure the needs of our residents are met.” – dnv.org/programs

he laudable vision outlined by the District of North Vancouver is a variant of those to be found in most municipalities. The question is: are they walking the talk? The critical social issues in Metro Vancouver today relate to the exclusionary price of real estate, the consequent lack of affordable housing and the seeming inability of most municipalities to take remedial action. Worse still is that the people being forced out of their homes in search of affordability are causing upheavals and costs for other communities. As school boards

Just Asking Elizabeth James confirm, while enrolment is declining in Vancouver and on the North Shore, migration to Surrey is booting many students into portable classrooms – unhealthy for people on both sides of the equation. In part, the problems have escalated out of control due to outdated provincial legislation and/or poor enforcement of existing regulations.

council believe solutions can be found within the context of the advice offered years ago by then District councillor, Alan Nixon, who suggested that “some people just can’t afford to live on the North Shore.” (Nixon has since moved off the North Shore). My reaction then and now: “So where and how far are people expected to go?” Regardless of the North Shore family and community ties that might be forever broken, a person could travel to Chilliwack and still find housing unaffordable.

Someone, somewhere needs to grasp the nettle. Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation (CMHC) still maintains that: “In Canada, housing is considered affordable if shelter costs account for less than 30 per cent of before-tax household income.” It explains that “affordable housing” ranges from temporary emergency shelters all the way to market rental housing or home ownership. Using that rationale at today’s low-normal end, if a person can find a bachelor pad to rent at $1,000, s/he should be earning a gross salary a fraction under $3,500/ month. So, before someone turns up their nose at the notion the North Shore should have more “emergency shelters,” put that stereotyping in the context of one family among the hundreds of people being ejected from Mountain Court and the 60+ apartments at Emery Village in Lynn Valley’s town centre. North Shore residents

since 1998, Jenn and Rob Ohlhauser and their four kids have lived in one of the eight four-bedroom Emery Village units for seven years. Jenn works three days a week as a West Vancouver teacher, while Rob made a career change and attends BCIT in order to upgrade his skills and income prospects as a chartered accountant. They attend church in the area and are fully involved in the children’s sports activities. “It’s not just about us,” Jenn told me over coffee. “We all know one another at Emery; we care. One of the other four-bedroom units houses a foster family with teenagers, what will happen to them? It’s a huge loss to the community,” she said. Another Emery family is a newly widowed dad with two boys aged three and two. He moved there to be near his mother-in-law who cares for the boys while he works to support them.

Jobs vs. ethics key issue in looming B.C. election

View from The Ledge Keith Baldrey nicely into that. The NDP will use the fundraising issue and the premier’s extra salary as proof that she and her party are “out of touch” with real people, and that a change in government is desperately needed to rid the political stage of “big money” and various perceived ethical lapses. The Green Party, trying simply to be heard, will go after both the NDP and the B.C. Liberals on issues like these. The question, as I touched on in last week’s column, is whether enough voters will care about that issue to the point of switching from voting for the B.C. Liberals to voting for another party, thereby influencing the election outcome. Given the fact that the premier has simply shrugged off any accusations about fundraising with a “who cares” attitude suggests she and her party obviously do not think it’s a vote-turning issue. Instead, they will likely embrace another recent development on turf far more favourable to them. That would be the latest, impressive job growth numbers from Statistics Canada, that show B.C. is far and away dominating

With the clock ticking down to the next provincial election -- now less than a year away -- it’s useful to look at two recent developments on both those issues that will undoubtedly be used by both major parties in various ways during the next campaign. One is the recent controversy over political fundraising, which the NDP undoubtedly intends to make the focus of at least one campaign attack ad (there will be many from both sides) aimed at the B.C. Liberals and Premier Christy Clark. For the New Democrats, it’s easy pickings. Polls show the vast majority of people don’t want corporations or unions to donate to political parties, and the NDP will also hone in on the extra salary the B.C. Liberal party pays Clark on an annual basis. Clark was cleared last week of conflict allegations brought against her by NDP MLA David Eby, who tried to link the party’s lavish fundraising affairs featuring the premier -- where tickets can go for $20,000 a pop -- to her financial livelihood. But being cleared by the conflict commissioner hardly ends the matter. One of the main themes of the eventual NDP election platform will likely touch on ethics and morality in politics and government, and political fundraising (even though the NDP takes money from corporations and unions too) will dovetail

the entire country when it comes to job creation and low unemployment. About 13,000 net new jobs were created in B.C. last month and over the course of the last year about 110,000 jobs were added. And for the first time since these statistics first started being collected in 1976, B.C. has the lowest unemployment rate amongst all the provinces. As well, the province is expected to lead the country in economic growth in the coming year, and probably longer than that. This is all music to the ears of those in the B.C. Liberal government. And so welcome to one of the B.C. Liberals’ political advertisements. As much as government ethics will be part of the NDP’s platform, so too will the economy be for the B.C. Liberals. All the party talked about before the 2013 election was jobs, jobs, jobs. Little has changed since then. When the campaign begins less than a year from now, Clark will dust off her trademark hard hat for her tour of industrial work sites around the province. At each stop, she will ridicule the NDP as being hopeless on the jobs issue, even as that party throws darts at her over things like political fundraising. Jobs versus ethics. The economy versus how politics is run. Get used to hearing a lot about the contrast between those issues in the next year. On the night of May 9, 2017, we shall see which of them resonates with voters the most.

For nine months spent pulling over weaving cars and steadying wobbly drivers, Const. Jas Dosanjh won a spot on the team. The North Vancouver RCMP officer earned a place on Alexa’s Team after taking 141 impaired drivers off the road last year. Alexa’s Team commemorates Alexa Middelaer, a four-year-old girl who was struck and killed by a drunk driver in 2008. It’s Dosanjh’s

fifth consecutive year as part of the team. The award gives officers a sense of pride for the “difficult, and sometimes thankless, work involved in taking impaired drivers off the road,” stated North Vancouver traffic unit Sgt. Bryce Petersen in a press release. Alexa’s Team also includes three West Vancouver officers: Const. Brock Harrington, Cpl. Grant Gottgetreu, and Const. Chris Colgan. Colgan was responsible for wrenching the car keys away from 23 intoxicated motorists

while Gottgetreu recorded 15 investigations. Harrington earned his fifth consecutive spot on the team. Nominations require a minimum of 12 impaired driving investigations in a year. “All West Vancouver Police officers are committed to make our community and its roads safe today and safer tomorrow. Taking impaired drivers off the road is a vital part of that work,” stated WVPD Chief Const. Len Goerke in a release. Alexa’s Team for 2015 consists of 243 B.C. police officers.

BRIGHTLIGHTS! by Ann Hamilton Tim Jones Legacy Fundraiser On the surface, the third annual, sold-out Tim Jones Legacy Fund Fundraiser, held April 23 at Seymour’s Pub in North Vancouver, looked like 250 people packed into a pub enjoying warm camaraderie, raffles, a silent auction and fine fare and drinks. But there were lots of angels in that room – Jones’ dedicated family and two determined women who established and organized the annual event. The crowd also included loyal friends and skilled and gutsy North Shore Rescue team members. The revelers were all focused on the late Tim Jones’ vision of building a self-perpetuating fund to pay for life-saving operating expenses and negate the need for ongoing fundraising campaigns. The fund has been established in Jones’ name and is administered by the West Vancouver Community Foundation in concert with North Shore Rescue. Also at the event, North Shore MLAs Jane Thornthwaite and Naomi Yamamoto honoured Jones by presenting a posthumous BC Parks Volunteer Legacy Award to his widow, Lindsay, for his outstanding contribution to saving lives, promoting outdoor safety, and advocating the importance of backcountry awareness.

Katelynn Potter and Sara Manlove pour an enormous amount of effort into making the successful fundraiser happen each year.

Brewga classes

Brewery and yoga studio band together ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

While on the surface, a brewery and a yoga studio may appear to have little in common, the owners of two neighbouring North Vancouver businesses beg to differ.

Black Kettle Brewing Company’s Bryan Lockhart and The Yoga Root’s Rachel Rozen have recently banded together for something a little out of the box, reflecting their shared interest in helping customers come together, and feel part of and connected to the wider North Shore community. Last month the duo started offering weekly Brewga sessions, all-levels, slow-flowing yoga classes led by Rozen at the brewery, followed by a crisp, rewarding beer and a little conversation. “Beer is a social thing. It’s Vancouver, it’s the culture nowadays, and so is yoga, so it was just partnering those two together,” says Rozen. “Two of the fastest-growing industries,” adds Lockhart. Black Kettle opened in the Harbourside area in January 2014 and Rozen launched her studio in August 2015, a stone’s throw away. Feeling like the “new kid on the block,” she decided to stop by the brewery to introduce herself. “It was basically a, ‘Hey let’s band together and connect small businesses in the community that are around this area, and create a little bit more of an awareness of the area,” she says. The two entrepreneurs continued to brainstorm ways of working together and eventually the Brewga idea came into focus. Lockhart, a yoga newbie, had heard about similar initiatives being offered elsewhere, for example, the Whistler lululemon Forlise men’s store offers participants a beer at the end of weekly yoga classes. In addition, during a recent trip to Mexico, he saw some local

RONA’s Second Floor Showroom Where it’s summertime and the Outdoor Livin’ is easy Whether seasons arrive early or late, Mark Block, manager of the Second Floor Outdoor Living showroom at North Vancouver’s RONA on First Street is always on top of his game. He says that, altogether, he and his colleagues John Desaulniers and Mark Charland have over 30 years of experience. At prices from entry level to the extravagant the team oﬀers everything customers need for a perfect outdoor living experience. This year, with summer already making itself felt, the trio has the Second Floor Showroom ready with all of RONA’s tried and true products as well as modern displays in a fully re-designed Kitchen Design Centre. “We have the largest selection of Ratana outdoor furnishings displayed on the ﬂoor, as well as name brands like Telescope Casual, Polywood and Corriveau,” Mark said.

In various designs, sizes, fabrics and colours, Treasure Garden has manufactured quality outdoor products

“Beachcombers carry an easy to read and understand GUARANTEE, not a ﬁne print warranty that’s full of exclusions,” Mark explained.

New to RONA this year are the Plank and Hide lines of outdoor furniture. Described as “chic or beachside casual” or, “rustic yet elegant” Plank and Hide collections are comfortable and weather resistant.

In addition to a lifetime structural guarantee, Beachcomber guarantees the tub’s acrylic ﬁnish will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for FIVE YEARS from the date of delivery. If a failure occurs, Beachcomber will supply the materials and technical labour for the repair.

AFTER SCHOOL

Welcome to the jungle:

Westview Dental Clinic makes a trip to the dentist into a fun adventure for kids For kids, a trip to Westview Dental Clinic is like going on safari. The just-for-kids exam room is colourfully jungle-themed, right down to a giraffe-coloured X-Ray machine and floor-toceiling mural with overhead parrots flying in the blue sky. “Kids love this room right away,” says longtime dental assistant Molly. The jungle decor is a great distraction for young children who may be anxious about their first trip to the dentist. “We make it fun. There’s no charge for the first appointment. We give them a ride in the chair, count their teeth and help educate the parents.” Dr. Leila Shahbazi, who operates Westview Dental Clinic with husband Dr. Shahab Keshmiri, recommends that kids visit a dentist for the first time after their first birthday or six months after getting their first tooth.

have the manual dexterity to do the proper strokes,” says Dr. Shahbazi. 2. Brush together. “You want to give them that sense of independence but you can make it a team activity: They do a bit and then you take over and get into those areas that they can’t get into,” says Dr. Shahbazi. 3. Start Early. “We encourage to start brushing even before the teeth come in. Just using a cloth or finger-brush that stimulates their gums and removes bacteria; it gets them used to the sensation of brushing,” says Dr. Shahbazi. 4. Floss, fluoride. Along with brushing twice daily, flossing and a fluoride rinse should also be part of your daily oral imen. ““Forr kid kids who enough, we recommendd health regimen. h are old ld en h, w

Parents play an important role in preparing their kids to see the dentist. “The language the parents use and their encouragement are very important. We ask parents to try not to bias their child’s first visit by telling them about what to expect because they are so impressionable. That first visit is so important,” says Dr. Shahbazi. That means no N-word (needle) or sharing negative experiences that parents may have had. To keep kids’ teeth healthy, Dr. Shahbazi and Molly also participate in a pre-school program that teaches about the importance of dental care. Some tips they share with parents include: 1. Go Electric. “We highly recommend the electric toothbrush because it does such a good job, especially for kids who don’t

Kids can floss while watching cartoons or while being driven between sports practices and after school activities. Along with proper daily dental care at home Dr. Shahbazi recommends twice yearly dental checkups for children. Her clinic also offers full-service care for adults, including “happy gas” for nervous patients, minimally invasive microscopic dentistry, Implants as well as cosmetic dentistry – including Invisalign®, whitening and more.

Weekly Brewga classes combine yoga and beer From page 13

elsewhere, mainly in the United States, in cities like Portland, Ore., and they’re becoming increasingly popular on both sides of the border. Launched last month, the inaugural North Vancouver class saw mainly women in attendance. “The women that came were definitely beer drinkers, lovers of yoga, wanted to have a good time, they didn’t want it to be like a serious yoga practice, they wanted to have some fun with their yoga and drink a beer. And, they were mostly people that had never been to Black Kettle before,” says Rozen. As the classes are continuing they’re seeing more men as well as an overall stronger mix of people with and

without yoga and beer-drinking experience. “It’s brought everybody together, which is cool. Afterwards everybody just socializes,” says Rozen. “In a weird way it’s become a little bit of a networking thing,” adds Lockhart. The weekly offerings cost $10, which includes the class, use of a mat and a beer. The low-price point was intended to make the event accessible to all as well as increase its appeal. The non-traditional yoga setting is also intended to encourage people who have potentially been too intimidated to try a yoga class to finally do so, and increase their comfort and confidence levels to the point where they may decide to start going regularly to a studio, reaping

the health benefits. This speaks to Rozen’s purpose and goal with The Yoga Root, which is to help people truly feel that yoga can be for everyone. “My whole thing is to make sure that everybody feels like they can do it. I think this is a really good way of segueing into that and having that continuation of what my dream and aspirations are for the studio. It’s a good offshoot of what I’m already doing in the studio, so it’s a great collaboration,” she says. Black Kettle and The Yoga Root’s drop-in Brewga classes are offered Wednesdays at 7:15 p.m. Arrive early to get settled and sign a waiver, and beer drinking starts at 8 p.m. For more information, visit facebook.com/ groups/1539215629721260.

A recent longtable dinner at Lonsdale Quay to celebrate its 30th anniversary featured three sit-down courses, including a fresh salad of mixed greens with toasted pecans and goat cheese. The main course featured a surf and turf of prime rib and grilled prawns with potatoes, asparagus, carrots, and green beans. PHOTOS CHRIS DAGENAIS

REVIEW: CORKS & FORKS EVENT

Quay hosts food affair to remember

The SkyTrain seemed so space age back then.

I was going to miss it. My mother had broken the news that we were leaving Vancouver, moving to Montreal. I didn’t like the idea. Vancouver was home. My friends were here, I didn’t speak French; how was this going to be a good thing? In my memory, that summer thoroughly sucked. Except for Expo 86. That part was great. Chris Dagenais I had a three-day Passport, a fairgrounds access pass that exposed me to world cultures that seemed so exotic and mysterious to my young mind. I believe that’s what infected me with the

The Dish

travel bug, a lifelong affliction as it turns out. The SkyTrain feels thoroughly pedestrian now and I can’t say I relish its heaving rush hour masses. But there are other legacies of Expo 86 that continue to reward and for which that world’s fair earns my gratitude. Lonsdale Quay is one of those legacies. The market, with its consistently improving mix of vendors and amenities, is one of my favourite places on the North Shore. The Quay recently celebrated its 30th anniversary with a limited ticket, longtable dinner on April 30 hosted on the main floor near the south entrance, facing the Vancouver skyline, a vista that has changed dramatically over the last three decades. I was fortunate to snag a ticket to the event, courtesy of the Quay’s marketing team. A big Private Event sign marked the secured entrance and gave a sense of exclusivity and occasion. Upon entering the event, guests were welcomed by soulful notes from acoustic guitarist and singer Colin Bullock. Bullock did a nice job throughout the evening, but deserves special acknowledgement for his poignant, melancholy rendition of Prince’s

“Purple Rain,” a nice tribute to 2016’s latest fallen icon. The dinner featured passed hors d’oeuvres and three sit-down courses, each supplied and prepared by food vendors within the Quay, along with beer from resident brewery Green Leaf and B.C. wines from The Artisan Wine Shop. I had to take pause to consider how tough this meal must have been logistically. I mean, consider it: 60 multi-course dinners to be served simultaneously, prepared and plated within the confines of each vendor’s inmarket space. I think everyone involved should be commended for how well the whole affair rolled out. I hope this dinner is the first of many to come. I reached my foodie happy place pretty early on in the evening, to be honest, with the various salumi, cheeses and olives that were supplied by Bowen Island Pizza Co. The charcuterie was nicely displayed on wooden boards carried by event service staff who meandered through the

crowd. I have remarked on the excellent deli section of Bowen Island Pizza before, especially their great selection of cured meats, but a new item to me, thinly shaved, air-dried duck breast, with its bright red flesh and translucent, buttery fat trim, was a revelation. Paired with a pint of Green Leaf Burning Rock, a seasonal ale with a well-balanced character, the charcuterie achieved new heights. Soup Meister created the first seated course, a yinyang swirled bowl of tomato and wild mushroom bisques topped with a quenelle of coarse and fragrant almond pesto. I detected subtle notes of truffle in the mushroom soup, an unadvertised bonus, and the tomato component was tangy, tart and lively. The Soup Meister is a North Shore treasure. I have sourced many an excellent meal from the shop; their seafood bisque, with its fennelly hint of Pernod on the back palate, is a consistent favourite, while

turf of prime rib and grilled prawns, was provided by Sharky’s Chophouse and The Salmon Shop. It was a meal of positively primeval indulgence: a giant slab of beef topped with prawns and secured in the centre of the plate by a perimeter of no fewer than 12 new potatoes, mountains of asparagus, carrots and green beans, with ample jus on the side. There was simply no finishing the main, much like the massive meals furnished by Sharky’s on a regular basis through their meals to go, which often feature roast meats and traditional Sunday dinner trimmings. I still maintain that Sharky’s shines brightest in its pies, which emerged as this writer’s favourites in a blind tasting a couple of years back. Dessert, a chocolate-covered strawberry from Olde World Confections (whose caramel popcorn is a must-try) paired with a fresh fruit tart from El Dorado Pies, was the seam-stretching nail in the coffin, albeit a colourful and proficiently executed one. Chris Dagenais served as a manager for several restaurants downtown and on the North Shore. A self-described wine fanatic, he earned his sommelier diploma in 2001.

A simple but bright and fresh salad of mixed greens with toasted pecans, again supplied by Bowen Island Pizza Co., was, I suspect, simply a platform to showcase a creamy, heady goat’s cheese from the deli; the cheese studded the mesclun in weighty crumbles.

While he’s describing his job listen for examples of tasks for which he may need some on-the-job instruction. If he believes a task is dangerous and he needs training he has the right to refuse to do the work until his safety concerns are addressed. You may also have to help your child with workplace attitudes which can lead to boredom, lack of attention and injury. The new kid on the job is often given the most boring or physically demanding work. Bored kids often don’t pay strict attention, which leads to accidents. Unless they’ve been taught how to handle physical jobs they are likely to be hurt lifting or pulling. Be encouraging. Let him know that you appreciate how bored he is but that in every job you have to start at the bottom and work your way up the ladder. Meanwhile, remind him that he needs to do whatever he needs to do to stay safe.

Rutledge sticking it to cancer

Son finds himself in his father’s battle ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com

Like many teenagers, West Vancouver’s Nick Rutledge doesn’t like being the centre of attention.

That’s why he was so confused when his hockey team at the North Shore Winter Club wanted to put stickers on their equipment to show their support for Nick after he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of sinus cancer last October. “He didn’t really understand the concept of why would people just get a sticker to show support for me,” says his mother Sue. “Are they selling them? What are they doing? How does it work?” Through that conversation Nick, his family and the club arrived at the idea of having players and teams make donations when they received the stickers with all of the money going to cancer charities selected by Nick. The club raised more than $5,000 to go to the Children’s Wish Foundation, the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation’s children’s oncology unit and the B.C. Childhood Cancer Parents Association, which financially assists families in B.C. who have children diagnosed with cancer. The charities Nick chose are all meaningful ones for the Rutledge family. “We see a lot of families with young children at oncology at Children’s,” says Sue. “It’s sad, but it’s often overflowing. It is quite a shocker.” The campaign has now spread to include the West Vancouver Field Hockey Club – Nick is also an avid field hockey player. The club has been passing out stickers and collecting donations from all of their teams as well as other clubs they’ve met in their travels. “This is really about making the children and the players aware of this and aware of the need to support a child with cancer, but also to send a message to Nick that we’re all behind him,” says Anne McMullin, a board member for both the WVFHC and Field Hockey Canada. Canadian national team captain Scott Tupper has a sticker on his stick, says McMullin, adding that the players on the team she is coaching jumped at the chance to support Nick. “Everyone was throwing in their money, whether it was the change they had in their bags or in their wallets – all really very touched when we gave out the stickers. The players are always asking me, ‘How’s Nick, how’s Nick?’ That’s why we did it.” Those who know Nick won’t be surprised that his thoughts turned to charity when people wanted to show their support for him. Before he was diagnosed he was an active campaigner himself, growing his hair out for a fundraiser and then chopping it all off to donate for wigs. His gesture became acutely personal when his stepbrother’s mother Sally was diagnosed with breast cancer. When Nick shaved his head, his hair was woven into a wig for Sally. There’s a sad reason why Nick is so passionate about

Nick Rutledge (centre) feels the support of his teammates at the West Vancouver Field Hockey Club. The club has created a fundraising campaign to honour and support Nick, who is undergoing treatment for sinus cancer. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH helping people fight cancer at such a young age. Rutledge is a royal name in North Shore field hockey circles. The new turf field at Ambleside Park is named Rutledge Field, in honour of Ross Rutledge, a former national team player who created the WVFHC’s Adanacs high-performance program, which is now one of the top producers of field hockey talent in North America. “He loved coaching,” Sue says about Ross. “He was an awesome coach. He did clinics all over B.C., he really got field hockey noticed in British Columbia. And through that met a lot of great kids who were phenomenal at hockey.” Ross Rutledge died of cancer. Nick Rutledge was just two years old when his father passed away. “The fact that we lost Ross, and now his son is fighting …” says McMullin, her voice breaking. “Now I’m going to get all choked up about it. It’s tough.” Nick’s diagnosis came after several weeks of dealing with what the family thought was a sinus infection. It didn’t go away, and instead started moving, and so Sue decided to take him to Children’s Hospital. One day later he was in the oncology unit getting tests done, getting his new braces removed, getting a port inserted into his chest. Ten days later chemotherapy and radiation treatment began, and has continued since. When the

North Shore News caught up with Nick and Sue last week Nick was just recovering from what the family affectionately calls the ‘big hit,’ a massive dose of chemo that comes about every three weeks, much bigger than the normal weekly shot. Nick says he’s feeling “good,” and looking forward to getting back to mountain biking, hockey and even school as soon as he can. He hasn’t been able to attend classes during his Grade 8 year so he’s been taking home-school lessons from generous family friends while counting on YouTube mountain bike videos, home renovation shows and Kevin Hart comedy routines to keep him entertained. The family is hoping Nick will be done with chemo by August or September. His motto is “kick cancer’s ass.” “Nick just wants to be a normal kid, treated like a normal kid,” says Sue, adding that the sticker campaigns from his friends and teammates have helped him along the way. “We are so appreciative for the support we have received from the community. As Nick says, it makes him feel like he is not alone.” And once he’s kicked cancer’s ass, he wants to make sure that it stays down for good, says Sue. Not just for him, but for everyone. “He’s all about nobody else having to go through what he’s going through.”
