West Van elects Lambur to council Architect set to replace former Coun. Michael Lewis
BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
West Vancouverites have elected Peter Lambur to be their newest member of council.
Unofficial results show Lambur won Saturday’s municipal byelection with 1,262 votes. His nearest competitors in the field of 12 candidates were Andy Krawczyk with 939 votes and David Ayriss with 662 votes. Lambur said he felt good after a good on Saturday afternoon after a five-week “kitchen table campaign” that featured a lot of main-streeting on Marine Drive, but still the win came as a surprise to him “I’d like to send a little shout-out to everybody who voted for me. I’m really very grateful for all of their votes,” he said. The 65-year-old architect and urban planner said he is most excited to get down to work on West Vancouver’s new official community plan, a major planning process just now beginning, “to make sure it really reflects the community vision for West Vancouver,” he said. “From my point of view, it was really a grassroots response to the issues that are facing our community around housing and density, and I’m very gratified that people have voted for me on those issues,” he said. “People want to see revitalization and so do I. People are prepared to see growth, and so am I. But people also

Consensus greets CNV’s 100% rental project JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

The neighbours agreed with the developer who

agreed with council who agreed with each other on every point but one: parking. The six-storey, 96-unit development would come with 46 underground parking spots, as well as 10 stalls for visitors, which is likely not enough in an area where cars end up bumper to bumper in jockeying for a space, according to
neighbour Gloria Webster. “There’s no parking on those streets,” she said. The total of 56 parking spots exceeds the minimum requirement of 48 stalls. Coun. Pam Bookham echoed Webster’s comments about the “low parking ratio.” “I’m concerned about people’s ability to get to
work,” she said. “It’s one thing to provide the housing, but that’s one of several needs that people have.” Located a stone’s throw from Lonsdale Avenue, the building’s residents will be near the SeaBus, which will hopefully begin operating with

KEITH BALDREY: COULD A TRUMP-STYLE ELECTION HAPPEN HERE PAGE 8
Tankers could strike bridge, engineers warn New risk assessment needed, group claims BRENTRICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
A group of retired engineers is accusing the federal government of failing to fully account for the risks of a bitumen-laden aframax tanker drifting off course and colliding with either of the two bridges that span the Second Narrows.
Concerned Professional Engineers, joined by North Shore NOPE and the TsleilWaututh Nation council, held a press conference in the shadow of the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing last week, asking the feds to conduct a risk assessment before issuing a decision on Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline application, which is due by Dec. 19. “I really am terribly upset (about) this idea of a seven-fold increase in tankers through the Second Narrows. It’s a very, very risky project and I’m amazed that the federal government has not taken it upon itself to do a proper risk analysis – what this traffic would mean for the safety of these two bridges,” said Brian Gunn, a retired engineer who once worked on the design of the Roberts Bank terminal. The group produced an animation depicting the what-if scenario of a tanker
Brian Gunn, founder of Concerned Professional Engineers, addresses reporters in New Brighton Park. The group is calling for a new risk assessment for tankers traversing the Second Narrows. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD experiencing a rudder failure and hitting the CN Rail bridge, and carrying on into the Ironworkers. “I’m not trying to fearmonger to say this will happen but there may be a strong possibility it could happen,” Gunn said, noting the CN bridge was knocked off its footing by the freighter Japan Erica in 1979. “Rudders can fail. Tugboats can fail. Human beings can fail and we’ve had examples here in the harbour already.”
Specifically, Gunn wants Transport Canada to conduct Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code S6 assessment, which it would do for any new bridge being built. Eugene Kung, lawyer with West Coast Environmental Law, said it would be “premature” to approve the pipeline project without a new assessment. “I don’t believe (Kinder Morgan) has done anything to address that in terms of their application or their spill
response plan,” he said. When those issues have been raised in the past, they’ve been met with a “deafening silence,” Kung added. But assessing the risk of tanker traffic has been accounted for by the Pacific Pilotage Authority, the federal agency charged with safely bringing the ships in and out of the harbour, according to the authority’s director of operations. “I don’t believe there’s a lack
of a risk assessment because we have done our risk assessment in terms of ‘What does it take to navigate these ships safely?’ ” Young said. The authority has done “full mission simulations,” which identify risks to navigable feasibility, and what safety mitigations might be put in place. Those assessments included propulsion and steering failures. For each transiting of the second narrows, the pilotage authority puts two tugs at the
ship’s stern and one at the bow and two pilots on the bridge of a ship, one of whom issues orders to the tugs and helmsmen and one who monitors whether those orders are being carried out. “If we require a forth tug, we’ll order a forth tug as well,” Young said. The pilots carry independent navigational units that are accurate within a centimetre and can detect changes in course within a 10th of a degree. “Long before the human eye could identify a vessel beginning to swing one way or the other, the rate-of-turn generator would start and the pilot would see it immediately,” Young said. Even with only one tug used at the stern in the simulation, the ship stayed on course, Young said. CN Rail, which owns the rail bridge, declined comment. Transport Canada deferred to Vancouver Fraser Port Authority “Ensuring marine safety within our navigational jurisdiction is of paramount importance to the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority,” said Peter Xotta, vice-president of operations. “For about 60 years, tankers have travelled through the Burrard Inlet without oil spill incident, and in that time safety standards have become more stringent.” According to the province, which has jurisdiction over the Ironworkers, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will be conducting a “proactive review” for both the Lions Gate and Ironworkers, which is due to be completed in 2017.
Teachers applaud ruling on class size, composition JaneSeyd jseyd@nsnews.com
Teachers on the North Shore are hoping a recent Supreme Court of Canada legal win will mean more help in the classroom for students with special needs and smaller class sizes.
“Everybody will be picking over the entrails of what that actually means,” said Rob Millard, president of the West Vancouver Teachers Association, in the wake of a recent decision in the teachers’ favour from the top court in the country.
But he said for most teachers – and parents – class composition is the most important issue. “It can be make or break,” he said. “I’ve never had a teacher break down in tears of frustration over class size alone,” he said. “(Class composition) has gotten worse year by year.” Millard said that’s the issue that most parents relate to as well because they see what it means in their own children’s classrooms. It took the Supreme Court justices only about half an hour to rule in favour of the teachers union Nov. 10, bringing to an end a 14-year
legal battle. The Supreme Court ruled the B.C. government infringed on teachers’ constitutional rights when in 2002 it unilaterally ripped up contracts that set limits on class sizes and the number of special needs students who could be placed in each classroom. “It was an amazing victory,” said Martin Stuible, president of the North Vancouver Teachers Union, about the court ruling. “It taught us ‘Never give up.’” Stuible said now he’s hoping to see more resources put into classrooms sooner than later. Before 2002, there could be
no more than three students with special needs in each classroom before school districts were required to add extra help, such as the presence of an education assistant. For the past decade, there have been no limits. According to statistics from the Ministry of Education, in North Vancouver last year there were 336 classes with more than four special needs students in them. Of those, 183 classes had seven or more special needs students. A total of 246 classes had four or more English Language Learner students, including 61 classes with seven or more
ELL students. There were also 141 classes with more than 30 students. Ministry data shows 127 more classes with four or more special needs students than in 2007/2008 and 79 more classes with four or more ELL students than in 2007/2008. Data going back to 2002 was not immediately available from the province. Stuible said the increase in the number of classes with multiple students with complex needs has meant huge challenges for teachers. In West Vancouver last year, there were 121 classes with four or more special
needs students, according to ministry data, including 18 classes with seven or more. There were 185 classes with four or more ELL students, including 83 classes with seven or more. That’s 20 more classes with four or more special needs students and 43 more classes with four or more ELL students than in 2007/2008. Both Millard and Stuible said changing class sizes in the middle of a school year would be complicated, but hiring more supports – like assistants and teacher specialists – to

More families in LoLo spur need for new school SD44 looks to waterfront district for K-7school site JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com
After years of flatlining, the recent spike in North Vancouver’s student enrolment may mean a new school in Lower Lonsdale, according to district superintendent Mark Pearmain.
Approximately 250 Lower Lonsdale students make a daily commute to Larson, Braemar and Cleveland elementaries, according to Pearmain, who addressed City of North Vancouver council Nov. 14. If the upward enrolment trend continues, North Vancouver’s waterfront district will need a Kindergarten to Grade 7 school in five to eight years, according to Pearmain. Rather than paying for new land, the school district should rebuild and reopen Cloverley, suggested Mayor Darrell Mussatto, saying “I would love for us to have a school that could take at least half of Lower Lonsdale.” Cloverley is not necessarily ideal, Pearmain noted. “What we are seeing currently with the Cloverely site is that that’s not … where the most density is,” he said. The school district considered allowing residential development at Cloverley in 2014 but no plans have been
finalized for the site. Mussatto questioned Pearmain about moving Queen Mary elementary’s International Baccalaureate program to Cloverley. “I was told that if the IB program wasn’t at Queen Mary there’d be a whole lot of empty spaces,” he said. “So is there any thought about moving the IB program out so that people living in the area can go to that school?” There are no plans to move Queen Mary’s IB program, according to Pearmain, who explained that provincial law allows parents to enroll their child in any school with an empty desk. Approximately 43 per cent of students in Queen Mary’s catchment area attend the school, which is an increase from 33 per cent in 2012. Buying land should be a last resort, Mussatto advised. “We don’t have a lot of land left in Lower Lonsdale and we can’t go without selling it at market value,” he said. If the school district does buy land, it should consider a city-owned plot on Alder Street (just above the Low Level Road between St. Patricks and St. Davids avenues), suggested Coun. Rod Clark. Pearmain suggested the new Lower Lonsdale school would have a French immersion program, which rankled Coun. Pam Bookham. She suggested French immersion might draw students from across the school district, exacerbating “an
already existing traffic congestion program.” Bookham echoed Mussatto’s call to move the IB program, particularly if the move allows more kids to walk to school on city paths “that we have spent a great deal of money on.” The increasing enrolment is evidence families are moving into Lower Lonsdale, according to Coun. Holly Back. “We definitely are going in the right direction.” A new school could be located in a development, Back suggested. “It might be a far-out idea, but if we could get maybe a smaller (school) space in one of the amenity spaces in some of these condos – if that’s where the kids are actually living.” The North Vancouver school district closed nine schools between 2004 and 2012. The money the district made from sales – at least in part – was due to council’s work of “creating new value” in the city, according to Coun. Craig Keating. “I think it’s up to the school system, the province, to acquire new sites for schools,” he said. In recent years the school district sold Ridgeway Annex for $5.1 million as well as school board property worth $9 million, but the majority of those funds were immediately funneled into the rebuild of Sutherland secondary and heritage restoration work at Queen Mary and Ridgeway, according to school district treasurer Georgia Allison.

and they get approved for a variety of different reasons,” he said. “It’s bad planning practice. It shouldn’t happen.” That’s not to say that there shouldn’t be growth or density, Lambur clarified, rather that it should only happen in keeping with the OCP, as developed by the community. “I want it to be a community based discussion and clearly density is a hot-button topic. People have their views. Always have. Always will,” he said. “There’s no doubt West Vancouver has to absorb more growth. It’s a matter of where and how and how much?” Lambur applies a similar principle to the concept of socalled monster homes, which council will be addressing in more detail later this fall. “The overall thing here has to do with context and the fit,” he said. When it comes to the controversial interim tree cutting bylaw, Lambur said he believes it should require a municipal permit to cut down trees on private land. “The exact content and how that works is going to be the topic of, I think, some very animated discussion

over the next little while,” he said. On the perennial traffic file, Lambur said he’s in favour of improved transit, some form of road pricing and incentivizing people out of single-occupancy vehicles. Mayor Michael Smith welcomed Lambur to the council table. “We’re looking forward to working with the newly elected councillor and moving forward on council priorities,” he said. Lambur has met with senior district staff and his
new council colleagues to get oriented, part of which Smith said, will be learning the tricky balance of weighing the
results of public consultation. “When he gets on the quote-unquote inside here, he might see that we really try as much as possible to get as much public feedback on issues as we possibly can,” he said. “What happens, of course, is people who don’t agree with the ultimate decision say ‘People weren’t consulted.’ It’s a tough one.” The unofficial tally Tuesday showed 5,170 cast ballots in the byelection out of an approximate potential of 31,000 – about 16.6 per cent voter turnout overall. Official results will be posted on Wednesday. Lambur will be sworn in and begin council business at the Dec. 5 meeting. Council called the byelection following the death of former Coun. Michael Lewis in August.

Extra classroom help may come this year From page 4 help classroom teachers could be done relatively quickly. Chris Kennedy, superintendent for the West Vancouver School District, said the first step will be for the B.C. Teachers Federation and the provincial government to sit down and start negotiating class size and composition. That will be more complicated than just applying the 2002 formulas to today’s classrooms,
he said, because the way that special needs students are defined has changed in the past decade, as have some of the ways that classes are taught. Kennedy said he anticipates that some of the changes won’t be put in place until next September, although hiring of extra help in classes that have many students with complex needs could start more immediately, through the province’s learning improvement fund.

A
news investigation by the Globe and Mail revealed this week details about Justin Trudeau attending a fundraising soiree with a number of Chinese billionaires, bankers and business leaders, many of whom have trade and business deals awaiting government approval. In response, the Liberal Party said nothing policy-related was discussed and that no donations came from attendees who are foreign citizens and thus not allowed to chip in. It’s not a smoking gun. Parties raise funds. It’s what they do. But these cash-foraccess shindigs blur ethical lines. Let’s not forget, it was an illegal blurring of the lines between donors and government that got Liberals banished to the political wilderness for a decade. To his credit, it was Stephen Harper who banned corporate and union donations and capped individual contributions.
Trudeau’s government won power on the promise of transparency and accountability and they deserve a kick in the shins for these exlcusive get-togethers. But, if we’re going to get cranky about the $1,525-maximum donations the federal Liberals are receiving, we have to stand in awe at the provincial ones, where lobbyists have been known to pay five figures for table talk with the premier or cabinet ministers. The party boasts they’ve never been so flush with cash heading into an election, making no secret of their cashfor-access side business and fundraisers hosted by groups with major applications pending approval. Case in point, a 2015 fundraising dinner to benefit West Vancouver-Sea to Sky MLA Jordan Sturdy that was co-sponsored by Woodfibre LNG, which is set to begin construction on its Howe Sound gas export plant. Our favourite parties are the ones where everyone’s invited.
Could a Trump-style election happen here?
A
s the post-mortems of the stunning (to a point) ascension of show biz miscreant Donald Trump to the White House continue, I suppose it’s inevitable that some will examine the question of whether such a turn of events could happen in this country. The short answer is “unlikely,” but there’s more to it than that. What’s troubling is that some of the elements that drove Trump’s momentum – racism, intolerance and misogyny – are very much on display in Canada, albeit not at the same level as exists south of the border. In assessing whether a Trump-like populist could emerge in this country, it’s important to remember Canada doesn’t have a huge “working class” of uneducated white males (at least not in numbers that could make a difference in an election).

View from The Ledge Keith Baldrey And we lack the huge racial divide that has cleaved the U.S. into increasingly distant camps. More than one historian has suggested the U.S. has never really stopped fighting its Civil War. But despite those important differences, it’s not as if this country (and province) have some kind purity when it comes to public discourse. Recently, this province witnessed two high-profile
examples of ugly racism in full public view. First, there was that video of the village idiot spouting racist slurs in an Abbotsford parking lot at a Canadian citizen who happened to be of Indo-Canadian descent. The video has gone semiviral, and the hate-spewing loser now faces criminal charges. Then there is the alarming distribution of racist leaflets in Richmond, essentially warning of a Chinese “invasion” of the community. Richmond is a vibrant, humming municipality booming in economic growth, much of it fuelled by immigration and economic investment from China, Japan and Korea. If anything, the municipality owes a big thanks to the Asian-Canadian community for turning it into such a success story, and not being the distribution point of a virulent flyer that reads like something out
of Alabama in the 1960s. But those are hardly isolated incidents. If you doubt that, I invite you to read the thread of comments that follow the posting of all kinds of news stories on various media outlets’ web or Facebook sites. The comments are often inflammatory to the point of being alarming, often crossing the line when it comes to sexism, racism and intolerance. The comments are invariably aimed at whatever political party or leader that happens to be forming government. In B.C. the biggest target is B.C. Premier Christy Clark (derided as “Crusty” and much worse by these nearliterate self-important posters) and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (who has inherited the large target his predecessor Stephen Harper wore on his back on the Internet for years). Presumably, if NDP leader
John Horgan’s party wins next spring’s election he will become a major target for the wrath of many (a major reason he isn’t now is likely because few people even know who he is, as he continues to enjoy maintaining a very low public profile). The most offensive comments are often posted anonymously, which is not surprising since cowards usually don’t sign their names. Some media outlets are removing online comments altogether, while others are trying to do a better job at policing them and removing the most offensive ones (an increasingly difficult task as many outlets are shedding staff). Finally, we come to two other female politicians. Alberta Conservative MLA Sandra Jansen bolted her party to join the NDP government caucus, because

of serious harassment and sexist attacks from her old colleagues because she dared to run for party leader. And then there is federal Conservative leadership candidate MP Kellie Leitch, who seems determined to run a “Trump-lite” campaign, with her call for a “Canadian values test” for prospective immigrants (sound familiar, Trump backers?). Leitch applauded Trump’s election, calling his victory an “important message” that needs to be delivered in this country. Leitch is unlikely to forge a path to government with such talk, but she’ll get some support. That’s because like it or not, for all our Canadian smugness that we would never elect such an offensive candidate such as Trump, there exists among us a large vein of intolerance, increasingly on public display.

Anti-pipeline position ignores fossil fuel reliance
Paved path not runner-friendly Dear Editor: On my run today along the central Grand Boulevard pathway, I see that work is moving apace in digging up the current path. I had been in contact with the city previously suggesting that they do not rip up a perfectly acceptable pathway and, certainly, not to pave it; I was keen to check, therefore, if they were, in fact, now proceeding with paving. On checking the website, I find that they are, indeed, proceeding. What reasoning would conclude that such an action should proceed? It appears that 56 per cent of respondents thought that this was a bad idea. But, the
Q
website says, 27 per cent of those were against the whole project so should be discounted, leaving 29 per cent “true negative respondents” (my quotes). What a bunch of woolly rationalization that appears to me to be trying to make the “numbers” say what the designers and engineers had already decided. A better decision would have been to keep a perfectly good gravelled path that posed no barrier to accessibility (the inclined grade alone makes it pretty unattractive for manual wheelchairs). Paving is not an environmentally sound option both from a materials and water shedding characteristic.
It is also patently wasteful to not use what it already there. Added to this is the fact that paving presents an unforgiving surface, certainly compared with the existing path. Runners as well as walkers will be subject to more stresses on a paved surface and this is a well used running route. I had made the suggestion that if the city had to redesign the surface, they should investigate using recycled rubber (used successfully on at least one trailway in Chicago — the Bloomingdale Line or “606”). Replacing the existing trail is counter to the “green” in the Green Necklace. Andrew Massil North Vancouver

Did he build his own house from only natural products made on site, or was it built for him by contractors with trucks? Does he grow his own food or shop at a grocery store, where all the food is brought in by oil byproduct burning fuels like gas and diesel? An informed reader may also want to hope that Mr. Gibson is not reliant on our taxpayer funded health care system, which, by many accounts, is not sustainable, and will need large injections of money to keep it going. The royalties that governments collect from the sale of oil will go a long way to keep us enjoying the lifestyle to which we have become accustomed, especially in light of the reckless spending habits of our current prime minister, but that is another discussion for another day...

Why is he convinced that there will be a spill now or in the future, with all the advances in technology? An informed reader may also wonder if Mr. Gibson uses oil and its byproducts to enjoy the lifestyle he has now. Hopefully not, lest he be considered hypocritical in his desire to ban oil tankers in our waters. Hopefully Mr. Gibson does not live near the railroad tracks in West Vancouver, where the likelihood of another Lac Megantique disaster is much more likely than a marine spill. Does he go into the forest and chop down trees for fuel to heat his home, or does he use oil or gas? Does he drive a car or take a bus, or does he walk everywhere (not on the street, I hope, as asphalt is an oil byproduct)? Does he wear anything made

Dear Editor: In reading Norman Gibson’s letter to the editor (Seal Sighting Prompts Plea to PM, Nov. 16 Mailbox), whereby he pleads with our current prime minister not to approve the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion project, an informed reader should be surprised that Mr. Gibson actually saw a seal, or any other wildlife in the waters near Vancouver, the Gulf Islands or Victoria at all. After all, tankers laden with oil and other solids and liquids potentially harmful to the environment have been plying our waters pretty much since Vancouver was in existence over one hundred years ago. In fact the current Kinder Morgan pipeline, I am told, has been sending tankers weekly through these waters since 1956, which is 60 years ago. Back in those days, there was no GPS, radar was not nearly as accurate as it is today, and these tankers

65 rental units to replace 1960s walk-up From page 1
greater frequency in 2017, said Coun. Linda Buchanan. “It allows people to actually live in the communities (where) they work,” she said. The new project will replace the 31-unit walk-up currently occupying the site adjacent to St. Georges Avenue. The swap presents a quandary, Mayor Darrell Mussatto observed. While the city will gain 65 rental units, the 1960s-era apartment offered the lower end of market rents, the mayor said. “That’s going to be a challenge for us,” he said. “How are we going to house these people that are making minimum wage and ... still want to live in our community?” Ten units in the new developments – including one three-bedroom unit and a pair of two-bedroom units – will be priced at 10 per cent below the city’s average rental rates for the next decade. The project received the “full and enthusiastic support” from Phil Chapman of the Community Housing Action Committee. The new development is an important measure in

replacing the city’s rental stock, according to Coun. Rod Clark. “It goes a little distance to replacing the rental stock that’s under threat in Lower Lonsdale, the traditional threestorey walk-ups,” he said. While Clark noted senior levels of government frequently come in for criticism at the council table, he praised the provincial government for amending the building code to allow for the construction of taller wood-frame buildings. Coun. Craig Keating stressed that municipal governments – who get “eight cents on the tax dollar” – are forced to address a nationwide rental problem. “Canada is the only G8 country that still lacks a national housing strategy,” he said. However, the East 18th Street project sets a “new standard,” according to Keating. “If this is economically feasible, then the other ones that are going to come down the pike are absolutely economically feasible.” The building’s height of 62.5 feet is appropriate, according to Coun. Don Bell, who has decried large developments creating a canyon
effect on Lonsdale Avenue. Bell noted the possibility the city may lose a huge portion of their aged rental stock in the next few years. The elimination of “progressive tax policy” has largely deprived Canadian cities of purpose-built rental over the last 30 years, said David Hutniak, CEO of Landlord B.C. Hutniak praised council for taking a long-range view. “Too often citizens are so caught up in their own selfinterest, they fail to recognize that their elected officials have a responsibility to make decisions that are in the best interests of the broader population,” he said. The project provides “desperately needed rental units,” said Justin De Genova. “The numbers … are adding up to a win for just about everyone here.” The rental building also won approbation from frequent council-watcher Ivan Leonard, who has been critical of several city developments. “I’m really impressed by this building,” he said. “You never expected that one, did you?” The project needs one more vote before adoption.

BRIGHTLIGHTS! by Cindy Goodman A Decade of Collecting Art at West Vancouver Museum In the 10 years since a donation from local artist Jane Billaux first established the West Vancouver Museum’s permanent art collection, the facility has assembled a tremendous array of pieces that are the focus of an exhibition that launched with an opening reception on Nov. 15. The museum’s collection includes more than 300 works by renowned Canadian artists such as Emily Carr, Douglas Coupland, Ian Wallace, Joan Balzar and many others. Artist Gordon Smith bolstered the museum’s holdings of Canadian art significantly last year by donating his personal collection. A curator’s talk is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Dec. 3, while the exhibit will run until Jan. 14.

NSCRS anniversary
Charitable society marks 40 years of renewable energy JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com
It’s nearly impossible to talk about the history of the North Shore Community Resources Society without the conversation turning to the future.
The charitable organization began its life as the North Shore Volunteer Action Committee, parlaying a small United Way grant to become an information outlet for dogooders looking for a place to do some good. “If somebody’s interested in volunteering … we match them up with an interviewer who will spend some time with them to understand their background and skills and interests,” explains the society’s executive director Murray Mollard. After publicizing the option for volunteers in the pages of the North Shore News (then known as the North Shore Shopper), the first incarnation of the NSCRS
functioned very much like its current incarnation, encourage volunteering as a “critical element to building strong and healthy and thriving communities,” Mollard notes. Looking to the organization’s future, Mollard is concentrating on affordable housing. “How are we going to make the North Shore an inclusive place for all people, for all ages, for different levels of income, so that this community can remain a diverse and rich and supportive place?” he asks. While the society’s annual general meeting is scheduled for Monday, Mollard seemed equally excited about a “housing cabaret” he’s organizing for February or early March of 2017. He’s hoping the NSCRS can function as a convener for “inter-generational conversations” about housing. “How can we empower people?” he asks. Towards that aim, NSCRS has scheduled
Generation Squeeze founder Paul Kershaw to speak at Monday’s annual general meeting about where resources should be allocated to put generations on an even footing. NSCRS has also been working with Economic Partnership North Vancouver, an organization formed to assist investors and entrepreneurs. Mollard said he “never thought” EPNV would be interested in collaboration, but found the issue of housing touched the economy in surprising ways. “Lo and behold, when I talked to them, they said: ‘Well look, our employers here, they need people to work at their jobs and they’ve got to live somewhere relatively close by,’” he explains. “It’s become a communitywide issue regardless of where you’re coming from.” Like all non-profits, NSCRS has had to tighten its belt in

on Dec. 1. In 2015, the campaign saw more than 3,000 items donated to children of all ages, but the need remains high as officials are seeing higher demand in part from an increase in refugees and workers arriving with their families from Alberta. Campaign organizers said there is especially a need for coats for teenagers, many of whom can fit adult sizes but are looking for items with youth appeal, such as hoodies. Donations of gloves, scarves, hats and unwrapped toys are also encouraged.

I am in love with this very versatile decorative paper. There are so many things you can do with this paper and each gift is different in its own gorgeous way. I found honeycomb paper at devra-party.com but you may also find it at amazon. ca and other craft supply outlets. The paper is extremely easy to use and the possibilities are endless as far as designs. For this idea I made small, round ornament designs and glued them to the front of plain, white, gloss paper. To make them, simply draw out one half of your design on the edge of the honeycomb paper and cut them out with nail scissors. Fold out the design on your package and attach it with craft glue.

I saw this idea at a Christmas party last year and thought it was very effective. Simple black-andwhite photographs may be printed from your computer and attached to plain, brown paper.

Here is one for the kids. Plain paper is embellished with miniature fingerprints that form the shape of a reindeer head. Use non-toxic paint for this idea and let the kids make random prints on each
side of the package. Let dry. Once the paint is dry, draw the eyes and antlers. Glue a red, miniature pom-pom to the nose area. Wrap the present in colourful raffia or ribbon to finish it off.

Call The Experts In Oil Tank Removal

West Coast Tank Recovery offers free of charge property scans If you own a home built before the 1970s, it is at high risk of having an abandoned heating oil tank hidden underground. Why are these tanks buried? Before the 1970s, furnace oil was used to heat homes before natural gas became available. When natural gas was installed, the underground oil tank was simply abandoned, often with hundreds of litres of furnace oil left inside.
Underground heating oil tanks have an approximate lifespan of 20 to 25 years. Even if you are not planning on selling your home, leaving the oil tank buried underground will only make it more susceptible to ground moisture and other conditions. The result? The oil tank corrodes and furnace oil can begin to leak into yards, basements and drainage systems. Every municipality has different laws and records; however, the BC Fire Code requires that out-of-service underground heating oil tanks be removed. Home insurance and mortgage lending agencies can also require that any underground oil tanks be removed. Furthermore if you are selling your home you are required to disclose and usually Martin Wouters & Glen Wittet Owner/Operators of WCTR remove any heating oil tanks.
Martin Wouters and Glen Wittet, owners of West Coast Tank Recovery, a North Vancouver based company, have over 20 years of experience in the oil tank removal industry. “Customer service is our #1 goal,” says co-owner Martin Wouters. “We make the process of finding and removing your underground oil tank an easy task.”
When it comes to choosing an oil tank removal contractor, the choices seem limitless. Finding a balance between cost and quality can seem elusive. West
Coast Tank Recovery is fully insured, licensed, WorkSafe BC Certified and have an A+ rating with Better Business Bureau. They are trusted and referred by real estate agents and firms, lending and insurance agencies and others. West Coast Tank Recovery offers a service to North and West Vancouver homeowners to help discover whether they have an underground oil tank. They will come to your property free of charge, and perform a scan of your property with the most advanced equipment in the industry. If they don’t locate an oil tank, they will provide a Certificate. If an oil tank is located, they will provide you with a free of charge estimate.

Colony Warehouse delivers one-of-a-kind customer shopping experience and brand selection Since 1969, Kevin Patterson’s Colony Major Appliance & Mattress Warehouse has been the North Shore’s go-to destination for top-quality, brand-name appliances and associated products. The dedicated Colony team – which includes longtime store manager DesNeiges Cosgrove, sales manager Matthew Hutchinson and a team of professional sales staff – are delighted to meet their customers’ needs and deliver a unique shopping experience. “For 47 years, we have provided North Shore families with the latest in appliances, always offering the very best of service, selection and value,” Kevin said. “As we cater to retail clients, builders, designers and contractors, we are grateful that over 80 per cent of our business comes from satisfied repeat customers and from the people those loyal clients have referred to us.” Visitors to Colony’s spacious 6,700 square foot showroom at 1075 Roosevelt Crescent in North Vancouver are greeted by a wellinformed, friendly staff. Yet customers are always free to explore at their own pace as they browse through the brandnew kitchen displays that feature wellknown brand names like Bosch, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele, GE Monogram, Thermador and more.
Of course it’s sometimes hard to know if an appliance is right for you until you actually start cooking. That’s why Colony offers live kitchen displays that allow you to ‘test drive’ some appliances before you buy. To add icing to the cake, whether your interest is family-oriented, or you have longed to be a gourmet cook, Colony presents cooking demonstrations throughout the year. “Our team understands that whether the purchaser is a family member, a builder or contractor the purchase of new appliances represents a significant investment on the part of our clients,” Kevin said. That’s why Colony begins the process by listening carefully to their customers’ expectations, educating them as to the benefits of the options available. Only then do they recommend appliances to fit the client’s needs and criteria. What makes Colony a destination showroom and frequent Readers’ Choice award winner? Here are just a few reasons: • Over 50 appliance brands to choose from • Two bedding brands: Simmons & Spring Air • Outdoor barbecues featuring: Lynx, Wolf and DCS • Live kitchen displays featuring Thermadore, La Cornue, GE Monogram, Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele and Jenn-Air
Kevin Patterson (General Manager) and DesNeiges Cosgrove (Store Manager) look forward to seeing you at Colony.
• Cooking demonstrations throughout the year • Experienced and Professionally trained non-commission sales associates here to assist you • Full coordination of specifications for your appliance project • Package Pricing also available

NSCRS rolls on despite cuts From page 13 recent years, notes manager of information and volunteer programs Nancy Hollstedt. “There’s some serious funding challenges that the non-profit sector faced, particularly since the 2008 financial crisis,” she explains. NSCRS spent about $1,566,348 in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. Approximately $966,499, was spent on wages, benefits and training. Program expenses and equipment were the second biggest cost at $210,000. In order to free up some cash, about half of NSCRS’s

management – including Hollstedt – work part-time to allow the front line staff to work full-time. “We’re still able to support individuals (with cognitive or physical disabilities), throughout those funding challenges and those funding cuts,” Hollstedt says. The charity used to provide a full-service office with lawyers who tended to help lower-income clients access benefits and deal with landlord disputes. “Unfortunately, we had to shut that office down when funding cuts came in in the early 2000s,” Mollard says. However, they’ve
continued to run a community legal services program, providing legal advocates on poverty law matters as well as offering advice and referrals. The society does a good portion of their work with the oldest and youngest members of the community, helping seniors age in place and helping new parents find a place for childcare. “If someone’s looking to find childcare for their kids, they come here,” Mollard says. The AGM begins at 5 p.m. on the third floor of the North Vancouver City Library. The meeting is open to the public.

A BETTER BOOT FIT MEANS BETTER SKIING! A Professional Bootfitter will always start with the shape and structure of your feet and a discussion of skill and aggression to determine boots to try on - no matter whether you are a seasoned veteran or brand new to the sport. This leads to some wonderful benefits: CONTROL - Control of your skis is increased by a more precise fit in key areas of your foot and leg COMFORT - Comfort is provided by Custom alterations made to the shell and liner of your boots EASE OF USE - The old concept of “breaking in” a pair of boots is essentially eliminated
PINNACLE PRO BOOT Many new models of boots are lighter and feature both walking capabilities and the ability to use backcountry bindings or regular alpine bindings so you only need one pair.
DURABILITY - The length of time that the fit and performance of your boots lasts is increased by years
CUSTOM FITTING INCLUDED
Buy your new ski or snowboard boots from us and the Custom Fit Service is No Charge! We can address difficult to fit feet, wide feet, sore ankles and more.

Strategies for successful sleepovers
Kaitlin’s birthday is next week and she has announced that she’d like to have a sleepover party. What can you do to help make this a successful party for Kaitlin, her guests and you, her parents?
Keep the guest list short. For kids at age six or seven, four guests is usually a good number and no more than six friends for kids eight and older. Generally, it’s best to have an even number of kids so that you don’t find one left out when they pair up for an activity. But that also depends on the group and how well they know each other. If the kids have a set group of close friends who all know each other the guest list is easy. But, if they are friends of your child but not each other think about whether they will be a good mix. And if you know that one child is new to the group, talk to your child about how to make her feel comfortable with the other kids. What do they have in common? Will all the kids feel comfortable with any planned activities? Parties and junk food just go together. While some
Parenting Today Kathy Lynn treats are part of the fun, if you want kids to sleep well, without tummy aches, a healthy menu is a good idea. Favorites like pizza, pasta or peanut butter and jelly are liked by kids. Of course, you will also want cake and ice cream. If the kids are going to be watching movies check them out. Horror films usually mean you will be up all night dealing with children’s nightmares. Besides watching movies, have some games and activities ready for the kids. They are likely to either get homesick or out of control if there’s nothing to do. Talk to the parents of all the kids. Find out what sorts of movies the kids like and what frightens them. It’s also a good time to discuss food
preferences and allergies. You can discover if the guest has experience sleeping away from home and if there are any bedwetting issues. Have the kids bring their own pillow. Fun party treats might include new toothbrushes and hair decorations for girls. T-shirts the kids can decorate and/or sleep in work well for both boys and girls. If the weather is fair, get the kids outside. Nothing like a good run around in the fresh air to encourage sleep. A nice gift could be a Frisbee or a ball. Check to see if the parents are planning to be at home or elsewhere. If they have a cellphone that’s probably the best bet. That way if a child is taken with serious homesickness or an illness you can easily reach their parent. Be prepared for the kids to be up giggling past their bedtime. Let’s face it, a good night’s sleep is not the point of a sleepover for the kids. Also know that you may be up with at least one child who needs your attention during the night. Before they settle make sure they know that if they need help during the night they can always call
on you. Night lights can ensure the path to the bathroom is easy to negotiate. In the morning plan on an easy breakfast and you might want to serve it buffet style. Some cut-up fruit, muffins or croissants with peanut butter and jelly with juice or
smoothies make life easy. When you invite the kids make sure that you include a pick-up time and when you’re talking to the parents ensure that they are aware of what time they should collect their children. During the event, be available but let the kids make
their own fun.

REVIEW: REX BAKERY
Persian shop crowned cream puff king
The Dish Chris Dagenais The French call them profiteroles. They are light and airy mounds of choux pastry, typically filled with whipped cream or custard. Sometimes they are topped with a drizzle of chocolate, but to do so is to me superfluous, if not even a bit crass, sort of like putting a big Yokohama spoiler on the back of a Ferrari.
Most times it’s best to leave perfection unsullied. Profiteroles are one of the confectionary world’s greatest sweet contributions. However, whenever I eat them I can’t shake the idea that consuming too many bears the risk of turning myself into a human profiterole: soft, doughy, and bursting at the seams. This is not an absurd, outside risk for me, I’m afraid, because I have a weakness for them. I could eat a dozen profiteroles, maybe 20, depending on size. Irrespective of what they may be called in other parts of the world, the truth is,
Father and son baking team Peter (left) and Rashid Ramzani work the early shift to make custard-filled Danish pasteries for customers of their Lonsdale area bakery. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD these are cream puffs we’re talking about here, by popular culture’s perspective perhaps the most indulgent foodstuff ever, the poster pastry for wanton excess
and lack of restraint. So be it; I still think they’re magical. And on the 100-block of Lonsdale Ave., quietly creating some of the very
best cream puffs you’ll find anywhere, is Rex Bakery, a place I have grown to love in my own reluctant, “I’m really not a dessert guy, I prefer a cheese plate” kind
of way. Rex has been around for nearly three decades and is operated by the Ramzani family. I recently spoke to Ella Ramzani, who was holding down the fort on a busy
weekday morning. She told me that alongside honey balls, Napoleons, rollet cakes (delicate cake rolled

around a creamy whipped cream filling), and housemade saffron ice cream, cream puffs are the most popular items in the bakery. I am glad to learn that my love for the latter is shared, though such knowledge did little to assuage the feeling of decadence that installed itself in me following my third cream puff at dinnertime with the family. Yes, you read that right: dinnertime. How does one thoroughly sample the fare of a bakery for an article like this? One way, my chosen approach in this case, is to drop your kids’ jaws by announcing that cake and pastries are for dinner, followed by an optional savoury course, if required.

began our sampling with a vanilla rollet (or roulette, depending on the shop) and unanimously appreciated the supple cake and its airy, creamy whipped cream filling. Persian baking is often characterized by luxurious ingredients that are greatly prized in the Iranian culinary tradition. One such ingredient is rosewater, which can be overwhelmingly potent if not doled out carefully. Fortunately, for my taste, Rex handled the specialty ingredient deftly and the cream in the rollet was only faintly perfumed, permitting the delicate vanilla flavours and textures to shine through.

Persian baking marked by luxury
From page 42
which is long and cylindrical in shape and yielded at least 10 adequate portions, is a great value and something to keep in mind when you next need to contribute something to a dinner party. In my experience, another signature ingredient in Persian baking is cardamom, put to use in Rex’s honey-soaked baklava. For those accustomed to the Greek version of this dessert, the pungent spice can be a sensory assault at first bite, but I find over time the flavour works very well and somehow tempers the often staggering sweetness of the dish. A novelty that will appeal to those who prefer to sidestep gluten is nan-e nokhochi, a riff on shortbread cookies, made from chickpea flour. The flour yields an exceptionally lightweight pastry, crumbly and dainty, with an unusual but pleasant, subtle bitterness that pairs nicely with coffee or strong, sweetened tea. Nuts and seeds feature heavily in many of Rex Bakery’s treats as well, as in the rectangular, two-bite shirini e zaban, flaky puff
pastry fingers topped with toasted sesame. As a general comment, I’d suggest that much of the bakery’s fare is relatively reserved in sugar or, at the very least, is well balanced with spice and citrus notes, so as to avoid any cloying tendency. Not prone to travelling well and therefore not part of our recent tasting of goodies, is Rex’s saffron-scented ice cream, made in-house like all the rest of their goods, and worth trying for its fragrant, earthy complexity. In addition to its retail operation, Rex offers custom baked goods including wedding and birthday cakes. Our dessert-for-dinner sampling cost $26.

Operation Red Nose helps merrymakers arrive alive MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com
North Vancouver Rotary Club president Kevin Evans dons the red nose and antlers every holiday season to play the role of Santa’s sidekick.
Rudolph and his friends, fellow Rotarians and other volunteers prance into North Shore restaurants during the holidays to offer their designated driver service to guests. “The most fun I’ve had was dressing up as Rudolph,” says Evans. In the early days, explains Evans, it was “such a strange concept” for patrons to see the antlered safe ride home advocates stroll into restaurants. Sixteen years later, the antlers and red noses have become commonplace. “The big contrast since Red Nose started and now

is a much greater awareness that you just don’t drink and drive.” While the message is delivered in a lighthearted way, the larger issue is serious. It’s why Evans decided to give up his Friday and Saturday evenings during the busy social season. About 250 other North Shore volunteers sign up for the cause as well. “Well, I think like a lot of people, we are concerned about drinking and driving,” says Evans, a longtime volunteer of Operation Red Nose, a by-donation service which offers the convenience of delivering Christmas party revellers home safely in their own vehicle. Rudolph’s helpers guide the sleigh or sedan of partygoers who have indulged in one too many mulled wines between the hours of 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. While most Operation Red Nose clients are not overly intoxicated, it does make Evans think about “what life must be like for taxi drivers.” The program is always in need of volunteers who can take on roles such as designated driver or navigator. Anyone driving a client’s car must be at least 21 years old. Gas cards are provided to the volunteer driver. There are also opportunities to work the phones and dispatch incoming calls from Operation Red Nose’s lively headquarters at the District of North Vancouver’s fire training centre in the Lynnmour area. Joy Jones, a longtime Red Nose volunteer and fellow North Vancouver Rotary Club member, greets the other volunteers when they arrive at headquarters.

volunteers energized throughout the long evening ahead. “It’s just a great environment,” says Jones. “It’s upbeat. You make friends. Why else do I go back year after year? I enjoy it tremendously.” Evans agrees. “At 2:30 in the morning, all the volunteers coming back, they are so stoked and adrenalized and sharing stories from the evening,” he says. On average Operation Red Nose North Shore provides 300 safe rides home and raises more than $20,000 to support youth programs in North and West Vancouver. Artists for Kids and the North Shore Youth Safe House are past recipients of Operation Red Nose donations, which also go towards providing non-academic scholarships for local high school students. The service is not exclusive to motorists who have been drinking, it’s also available for those who don’t feel fit to drive because of fatigue or medication. ICBC and the North Vancouver RCMP endorse the Operation Red Nose program and encourage people to use a designated driver service for a safe ride home. “Deciding to drive under the influence is engaging in high-risk behaviour that can have both harmful and criminal results,” stated North Vancouver RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Richard De Jong in a press release, adding that police will be stepping up road checks this holiday season. “Plan ahead and let someone else drive you home – like a volunteer reindeer.” The Operation Red Nose service will be running on the North Shore from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Nov. 25 and 26, as well as Dec. 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17 and 31. The number to call for a ride home is 604-619-0942, or you can download the app. Visit operationrednosenorthshore.com for more information.

COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS Sign up for a trial membership at North Van’s Sunny Kim Taekwondo This month North Vancouver’s Sunny Kim Taekwondo is offering trial memberships.
Taekwon Dance, Basic Weaponry and Performance Martial Arts. Master Danny says taekwondo classes are beneficial for kids for many reasons. Classes for young students (ages 4-6 and 7-9) focus on the traditional side of the martial art, and aim to develop physical skills as well as building character.
“It’s a great way to see if your child is interested in martial arts,” said Master DaeYoung Danny Kim, a 5th degree black belt. “We really make the new students feel welcome here.” Master Danny is the main instructor and manager of the family-run dojang (school) that his father, Grandmaster Jong Seol Sunny Kim (9th degree black belt), started in 1997.
More advanced students and adults can take Olympic-style sparring classes that focus on the sport side of taekwondo that combines a great cardio workout with the techniques and strategies of sparring.
Grandmaster Kim still teaches classes too, while Master Danny’s mother Ruby handles the administration and also teaches Korean language classes at the school on the weekends. “It’s a family-run school and a closeknit community, a very friendly environment for families to come to learn,” said Master Danny.
on Fridays from 6:10-7 p.m for young athletes who are involved in dance or other sports and just want to improve their physical fitness. Along with a full schedule of regular fall/winter classes, Master Danny is also hosting the first annual Sunny Kim Taekwondo Gala on February 25 at the Chief Joe Mathias Centre in North Vancouver family-run from 3-5 p.m.
“It’s a school and a closeknit community, a very friendly environment for families to come to learn.”
The school offers a full schedule of classes, including Saturday morning sessions which are very popular during fall and winter.
“For ages 10-14 and the 15-plus group, they definitely prefer the more active side. There is the option of pursuing that goal or dream as an Olympian in the taekwondo discipline.”
Sunny Kim, which recently moved into a brand-new facility on Pemberton Avenue and 16th Street (right behind McDonald’s), offers traditional and sport taekwondo programs for both kids and adults.
Along with getting fit and learning how to defend themselves, kids also learn valuable life lessons about respect, courtesy, concentration, persistence and setting and achieving goals.
The school also teaches martial arts-related fitness programs such as
Master Danny also teaches a popular high-tempo performance fitness class
The event will include performances from all the students (from beginners to black belts), awards, prizes and more. For more information about a trial membership, which includes a white belt and T-shirt, or the gala call 604-990-1331, visit www.sunnykimtkd.com or email info@sunnykimtkd.com.

Handsworth hits a Royal flush
Volleyball teams sweep North Shore leagues ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com
If you witnessed a North Shore regular season or playoff game involving one of Handsworth secondary’s four top volleyball teams this season, you can be sure about one key fact: the Royals won the game.
In a smashing show of success, Handsworth girls won the North Shore bantam (Grade 8), juvenile (Grade 9), junior (Grade 10) and senior high school leagues and playoffs without losing a single match, the four teams combining to go 38-0 during that stretch. “I don’t know how it happened. All of a sudden everyone was just winning – it was just crazy,” said the man at the top of the chain, senior head coach Tom Oxland. “It’s just been incredible. I think what’s been most impressive is that for pretty much all the teams throughout the league and most of the playoffs, they’re playing all their players.” This season’s perfect score may be an anomaly, but for many years Handsworth has housed a powerhouse volleyball program. The No. 1 secret to that success is likely a culture within the school that elevates volleyball near the top of the cultural hierarchy, making the court a cool place to be, said Oxland. “I coached Grade 8 a few years ago and we had probably 70 kids trying out for two teams, 24 spots,” he said. “Since we have been successful for a long time, we have a culture where a lot of the athletic girls want to play volleyball. … I think that culture does go a long way.” With athletic players lining up to hit the court, it’s then up to the school’s coaches to implement a winning formula which, Oxland said, ironically doesn’t emphasize winning. “The philosophy is player development – to try to develop every players to be as good as they can possibly be,” he said.

Handsworth and West Van hosting provincials Dec. 1-3 From page 53 “That’s what’s funny – winning is not the philosophy. … At the younger levels it’s all about player development – really aim for equal playing time, do as well as you can in terms of coaching them, but then give them the opportunity to play, and don’t worry about winning. But then we always say if you do a good enough job with the player development, the winning takes care of itself.” The winning continued at the zone level with Handsworth teams claiming the Lower Mainland title at the senior level and Vancouver and District crowns in junior and juvenile. The one blemish on the record was the bantam team, which lost to Elphinstone 2-1 in a thriller of a V&D final. “They lost 15-13, the poor kids,” said Oxland with a chuckle. As for the seniors, they knocked off Carson Graham in the semifinals and Lord Byng in the final to claim the Lower Mainland title over the weekend. The Royals are hoping to keep that winning culture alive for a couple more weeks as Handsworth will team up with West Vancouver secondary to host the senior girls AAAA provincial
championships Dec. 1-3. Handsworth will enter the tournament as one of the top-5 teams, but there will be other, higher-ranked contenders such as Surrey’s Earl Marriot and a pair of Victoria schools, Mount Douglas and Belmont. “Our kids are playing well and they know it, but you’ve got to respect every team that you play,” said Oxland. “There are so many good teams at the AAAA level, you just want to go and compete every match. … From the quarterfinals onwards it’s going to be really tough matches. But if you’re there, you can win them.” The draw isn’t set yet but the Royals know that they’ll get to play some of their opening round games in their home gym during school hours, which should make for some noisy points. “When you’re hosting, the Thursday of provincials is just so exciting,” said Oxland. “The stands are going to be full of their classmates. … I just know it’s going to be loud and very boisterous, very supportive for the kids. That’s just really exciting.” For updated schedules and results of the AAAA provincial championship tournament visit aaaabcsgvb2016.com.
Field notes
Pipers, Dukes lose football playoffs
The last two North Shore senior football teams standing were knocked out of the playoff race during provincial quarterfinal action over the weekend.
In AA action at BC Place the Argyle Pipers staged a furious comeback after falling behind the Hugh Boyd Trojans by 20 points but couldn’t quite come all the way back, losing 26-20. Devin O’Hea led the way for the
Pipers with a pair of touchdown catches tossed by quarterback Mac Ward. Also on the AA side the Windsor Dukes lost 34-7 against G.W. Graham at Chilliwack’s Exhibition Park, ending their bid for the provincial semifinals. BORTIGNON WINS BIG AT WORLD SENIOR GAMES West Vancouver’s Christa Bortignon cleaned up at the Huntsman World Senior
Games held last month in St. George, Utah, picking up seven gold medals in track and field. The super senior was competing in the women’s 75-79 age group for the final time – as of January she’ll be jumping into the 80-84 age group. Bortignon holds several age-group world records. Compiled by Andy Prest. Email sports results or upcoming events to aprest@nsnews.com.
CHAMPIONSHIP CHASE Alex Wallace of the Argyle Pipers scraps with Tako Nyabadza of the Bodwell Bruins during the North Shore trophy game played Nov. 15 at Sutherland turf field. Argyle claimed a 4-3 win in the match between the winners of the North Shore AAA and AA senior boys soccer leagues. Bodwell and Sutherland are competing in the AA provincial championships which wrap up today at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West. Argyle will hit the field for the AAA championships Thursday through Saturday at Burnaby Lake. More photos: nsnews.com. PHOTO CINDY GOODMAN
