North Shore fans recall riot pandemonium Richard Warnica newsroom@nsnews.com

FOR Peter Stokes, the atmosphere soured before the ﬁnal whistle blew. Stokes, a North Vancouver resident, was one of tens of thousands to watch Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals downtown Wednesday. What he saw was a crowd that started out anxious, turned sad and then became something much worse. Fights broke out during the third period, Stokes said. Groups of young men and women attacked each other and sometimes swarmed individuals. As the night wore on, Stokes saw windows smashed and men beaten. He tasted tear gas, saw cars ﬂipped and watched an organized group loot the Bay. “They came with balaclavas fully over their faces,” Stokes said. “It looked like they were robbing a bank.” It’s hard to say exactly how many from the North Shore saw Wednesday’s riots — let alone participated in them. But it is likely thousands were among the crowds watching the game and at least hundreds stayed behind to witness the aftermath. At the North Shore SeaBus terminal Wednesday afternoon, hundreds lined up for tickets, waiting for the 15-minute ride downtown. When North Vancouver’s Ian Young took the SeaBus home at about midnight, the crowds were streaming the other way. The boat he took wasn’t stuffed, See Smashed page 5

$57M Low Level Road project dead

OPPOSITION from local residents has derailed plans to move Low Level Road away from the adjacent train tracks, a major infrastructure project long sought by North Shore businesses. City of North Vancouver council voted 5-1 Monday to support Port Metro Vancouver’s plans to build a rail overpass near Neptune terminal but refused to endorse the realignment of the trucking route. Both projects are part of a large-scale overhaul of North Shore port infrastructure that if built would attract substantial funding

from the provincial and federal governments as well as railway companies. The Low Level Road realignment plans called for the thoroughfare to be moved several metres north up the slope, on top of what would essentially be a large retaining wall. The beneﬁts of separating the road from the adjacent tracks, said Port Metro Vancouver vice-president Peter Xotta, include reduced trafﬁc congestion, reduced whistling and shunting noise, better safety, stabilization of the slope and some upgrades to the Spirit

Trail. Port ofﬁcials asked council to approve the project and to sign off on an $800,000 contribution to the $57.3 million budget. The Neptune terminal overpass will cost a further $41.6 million, none of it the city’s money. But exactly how high the Low Level Road surface would be was a serious concern to nearby residents. Speaking on behalf of a delegation that packed council chambers, Michelle and Michael Binkley said the port’s public consultation process had been “insincere” and “deeply ﬂawed.” The Binkleys displayed homemade images of how they expected the new road to look, images they said were lacking in the port’s presentations.

IT’S 6:30 in the morning. Dr. Paul Klimo gets out of bed and walks into the kitchen. He makes mango tea, which he sips while his English mufﬁn browns in the toaster.

At 8 a.m., Klimo makes the brief commute from his house in West Vancouver to Lions Gate Hospital, where he runs the chemotherapy clinic. At the hospital, Klimo grabs an espresso from the coffee counter, and at 8:30 a.m., his staff in the oncology department huddle to plan their busy day.

Smashed glass, toppled trees and tear gas From page 1

Young said, but it was full. West Vancouver’s Patricia Brotzel watched the game at a downtown bar. She wandered outside minutes after the final horn and ended up witnessing hours of mayhem. As the night wore on, Brotzel saw fights and looting, was teargassed and had a firecracker go off by her foot. At one point, she watched a man in a bike helmet smash a window at the Canada Post building with his head. Later she saw a tree get torn out of the ground and “carried down Georgia like a demented parade flag.” “I was never hurt beyond tear gas, though,” she said. “The bystanders were taking care of each other in the middle of it all. I thought it was incredible. I was never particularly scared.” Ian Young watched the game with an antsy, subdued group in a Gastown pub. He walked out onto Granville after the game. “I was a bit surprised that there wasn’t more of a police presence right off the bat,” Young said.

At about 9 p.m., he counted eight officers near the corner of Georgia and Granville. For a while they kept busy pulling people off posts and stopping fights. But as the crowds thickened and the mood got worse, the officers first split up and then had to retreat. “People started increasingly getting away with more stuff,” Young said. Young blames organized rioters for some of the violence. “No one brings a hammer and a can of gasoline to a hockey game.” But at the same time, he wonders how much of a role bystanders played just by being there. “That kind of mob really impedes the police,” he said. “It gave the looters cover.” Peter Stokes believes some of the crowd Wednesday was there just for the violence. But organized looters weren’t responsible for everything, he said. On Granville Street, he saw a man with his face covered throw a newspaper box into a parked car. Others soon joined in, smashing the car and flipping it. It was almost as if the ordinary people in the crowd just needed permission to get going. Once one

person lit a spark, everybody else fanned the flames. As for the idea that hockey fans weren’t responsible, Stokes doesn’t buy it. Every fight he saw included someone in a Canucks jersey. Stokes tried to leave downtown when the violence took a turn for the macabre. “I saw someone throw a stop sign like a Frisbee,” he said. “That could have killed someone.” But before he could make it out, the police started using tear gas. It’s an experience Stokes is not anxious to repeat. His tears felt like acid and his throat burned, he said. “It felt like I swallowed a lit cigarette.” The whole night left Stokes confused. He saw young people commit senseless acts and crowds attack police officers just doing their jobs. “There was just so much rebelling against the police,” he said. “I just didn’t understand. I was sad (about the game), I wasn’t mad. These people were mad.”

Mayor warns slope will fail without work

From page 1

“If a developer or private citizen wants to apply for a building permit,” said Michael Binkley, “there’s an involved process requiring extensive architectural drawings and surveys and assessments and landscape choices before receiving a permit. Yet PMV seems to be immune to all that because they hide behind their trigger funding deadline.” The Binkleys asked for protection of a nearby eagle nest, for the road’s lights to be trained away from their home and for a study on the road’s long-term effects. All these requests were feasible, said Xotta, but the demand for the road’s height increase to be capped at three metres was “categorically not possible.” The gain in height, he said, would be around seven or eight metres, but the exact figure would not be known for another six to seven months. The lack of specific plans drew criticism from several councillors. “I think every member of council was a bit shocked that we were presented with the idea that we had to have a very quick approval for the Low Level Road without specific designs in place,” said Coun. Craig Keating, who criticized the federal government for attaching a hard deadline to access funding for the work. “Either this is an important facet of the port’s development, which is meritorious of detailed designs and stable funding over the long haul, or it’s not. The federal government shouldn’t play games with communities and dangle all sorts of baubles in front of them and say ‘You might get this money if you behave.’” Coun. Pam Bookham said residents were being asked to “buy a pig in a poke.” “No self-respecting, successful businessperson would be inclined to do that. People want to know what exactly they’re

getting when they make that kind of financial commitment,” she said. Bookham also blasted the port for consulting the public so late in a two-year process. “Port Metro Vancouver is asking us to trust them,” said Coun. Rod Clark. “Quite frankly, given what’s happened so far, as a city councillor on your behalf, I can’t trust them. Even though the Neptune overpass is an easy out for council, we still don’t know what the plan is.” Coun. Guy Heywood disagreed, arguing that the city stood to gain valuable engineering work on the slope stabilization issue and could withdraw its support later if the final plans were unpalatable. “There was an opportunity to learn more about a slope that needs to be worked on, but instead we’re going to go down a path — that is not uncommon — where we’re just going to leave a critical city asset to continue to deteriorate and not be significantly examined,” he said. “Unfortunately, Port Metro Vancouver didn’t front-load this with enough (study), and we had to have citizens do that work for us . . . This project has been wrong-footed from the outset.” Mayor Darrell Mussatto said he regretted the defeat of the project and accepted some responsibility for not shepherding it more effectively. “That slope is very unstable,” he said. “It’s extremely steep, and it’s only a matter of time before that bank fails. We have to do something with that bank, and I’ve heard it may be up to $10 or $15 million, which will come right from the city. That’s the No. 1 reason why I want to do something with that bank — so it doesn’t fall down and we lose life. I’m worried about that.”

ancouver’s now infamous hockey riot could just as easily have been dubbed the Facebook/ YouTube/Twitter riot. Drunken fools behaving badly isn’t exactly a new phenomenon. What’s different this time is the proliferation of social media postings that both documented and spurred on their antics. That kind of mass citizen surveillance is very much a double-edged sword. As some of the rioters have discovered, anonymity is impossible when photos of your misdeeds have already gone viral online. But for other goons, knowing their acts would be videotaped and re-posted by the crowd just added to the rush of starring in their own riot reality TV show. How else to explain the photos of

The plans are currently on hold after RCMP threatened to arrest the owners (from a June 17 news story). ••• “I was forced to close the door on the bear’s paw.” North Vancouver’s Michelle Foster describes a terrifying run-in with a black bear who mauled her Labrador, Boo, and tried to force its way into her home after the dog got a little too close to the bear’s two young cubs. She spoke to media to reminds residents not to leave garbage outside (from a June 15 news story). ••• “When kids are drinking, they are almost consistently binge drinking.” Kerrie Watt raises the alarm about alcohol consumption among youth, especially during grad season, as about 150 North Shore teens end up in Lions Gate Hospital for alcohol-related incidents every year (from a June 12 news story).

people posing for the cameras near burning police cars or brandishing looted mannequins? Even those who weren’t participating in the riot hung around long after it was clear they should leave, not wanting to miss a piece of this sorry street theatre. Mainstream media also haven’t been guiltless in this cult of me-focused thrill seeking, exhorting their readers and viewers to send in their best riot clips. Now, of course, the same I-was-there impulse has quickly turned on these performers, with citizen snitches outing rioters in online blogs — with little regard to accuracy or the ages of those involved — whose exploits will now follow them like an electronic tattoo. Those who’ve grown up in the anyattention-is-good-attention era may now discover how bad that 15 seconds of re-tweeted fame can be.

A cry from a silent majority Dear Editor, Those of us who watched on television or attended the Canucks game last night and left peacefully are a silent majority. The violence that took place downtown is all over the media for the world to see. Those of us who are appalled, dismayed and humiliated for our beautiful city have no voice, it seems. I have never been more embarrassed of some of our youth, who seem to dominate the video we are seeing. Posing for photos in front of burning wreckage — who does this? Who smashes and loots stores? Who gets into fistfights? Who in God’s name destroys a huge screen put up for the pleasure of all? Who does all this because they didn’t get their own way? We who have more than ample food and opportunities and who live in a peaceful country have created for some reason a place of violence and distortion. Our Canadian Forces are around the world fighting for freedom, and this is what they are watching back home.

We showed the world what our behaviour looked like during the Olympics, when we came together and celebrated. But it seems when the chips are down, we become petulant children who cannot accept a loss and move on. This is not acceptable on any level. Are the people who did this going to pay for the hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, emergency crew wages and clean up? And what about our reputation as a city? Will they restore that? Once a reputation is lost, it is very hard to get it back. These groups really were a small percentage of the whole, but their idiocy has created a lasting impression. Thanks people for tarnishing our reputation around the world and sending a message of ignorance. I am sure the Vancouver Canucks weren’t feeling bad enough about the loss; now this is on their plates too. Good job. Colleen Eschner North Vancouver

To a beloved hockey team, with pride

Dear Vancouver Canucks, Thank you for the most amazing hockey season many of us have ever experienced. It was thrilling from start to ﬁnish. We had so much fun watching and cheering for you for 10 whole months! We decorated our houses and schools and cars to show we were your fans. We wore Canucks jerseys and T-shirts and hats and tattoos. We built homemade Stanley Cups. We made predictions and read statistics and analyzed games and relived great moments. We hugged and high-ﬁved when we were excited. We put up hockey posters and kids drew hockey pictures and wrote hockey stories. We felt proud of you. We felt proud to be from Vancouver.

And we believed. We had the best team in the regular season this year. When the other teams had to stop playing, our team got to keep going. How many other cities have dreamed of having their team make it all the way to the ultimate battle as ours did? How lucky is that?! We still believe in our team. We love our team. It was an amazing run, and you’d better believe that we can’t wait to do it again next year! But ﬁrst, of course, you deserve a rest. Thank you, Vancouver Canucks, from all of us. Pamela McLeod North Vancouver

Take your trash inside, save a bear Dear Editor: I recently read with interest the article in the North Shore News about the bear attacking a dog in the Canyon Heights area (Bear Charges North Van Woman, Dog, June 15.) I believe when it was ﬁrst reported, the article made reference to the fact the bears were attracted to garbage in the neighbourhood. It’s time that residents of the North Shore take responsibility and keep their garbage locked up in their homes until the morning of collection. The poor bears are being driven out of their habitat by development. They are not looking to harm anyone — just to survive. The ﬁnes should be really substantial to discourage people from disregarding the district’s regulations regarding garbage. Shirley Young North Vancouver

Here’s to the fathers who never had kids

PLENTY of fathers will be saluted today for their prowess at everything from driving junior to practice to building their family’s summer retreat.

Dads deserve kudos a-plenty. But what about the guys who never became dads, but who have a lasting inﬂuence nonetheless? My husband Stanley had just such a man in his life — his Carleton University English professor, Dr. Russell. A craggy, serious, Harvardeducated Italian American, Russell was a formal fellow, always dressed in high-quality but retro three-piece suits. In those days, he smoked Marlboro Lights in class. He was so passionate and knowledgeable about his subjects that he won over Stanley completely. In second year, Stanley became so fully immersed in Russell’s Literature of Existentialism class that he became convinced that nothing mattered and wound up dropping every other course that semester. Then, barely operational in his existentialist fog, he slept in on exam day and missed the ﬁnal test — which meant he’d have to re-take the exam in the fall. He was, of course, devastated. Later that week, he sheepishly joined Russell and his existentialism classmates for an end-of-year farewell dinner. Sympathizing with Stanley’s regrettable situation, the good

Going Coastal

Kate Zimmerman professor made a suggestion. If everybody agreed, he said, the dinner guests would give Stanley an oral exam right on the spot, and his grade for the impromptu test would be entered as the mark for his missed ﬁnal. Luckily, Stanley’s classmates were kind enough to allow that, and they proceeded to grill him on everything they’d learned together that year. As he remembers it, they quite rightly cut him no slack. His answers weren’t perfect, but in the end he was given a passing grade. Stanley went on to complete his undergrad degree, and Russell eventually retired and moved back to New York, his hometown. More than 20 years later, when Stanley found himself there on business, he tracked down his old professor. Remembering Russell’s deep love of the arts, Stanley asked him to take him to one of his favourite places in New York. They wound up wandering

through the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Russell expounding on the pieces he most admired. Stanley couldn’t have had a better guide. Russell was divorced and had no children. As a practicing existentialist, he was a bit of a misanthrope. Over the next 10 years, he and Stanley kept in touch, talking on the phone now and then. A couple of years ago, Russell, who had moved to Florida to escape the New York winters, revealed that his health was failing. Stanley decided it would be a grand scheme to visit his old professor and see what wisdom he could winnow out of him in his old

age. He stayed at a fleabag hotel near Russell’s retirement home and spent several days with his mentor, talking on the beach, eating in restaurants, meeting Russell’s sister, and hearing the story of the old man’s life. What a life it had been. He’d had a difficult youth — when he was little, he confided, his father had suddenly vanished, and he was told that his parent was dead. His older brother, forced prematurely into an adult role, often took his disciplinary methods too far. Some 40 years later, Russell discovered that his father was alive, but had been locked up in an institution for reasons

too complex and private to go into here. Stanley also learned that his professor had once been an accomplished professional saxophone player, whose musical career had included a stint with Louis Prima’s touring band. He traded the stress of the road for the relative calm of academia, taking an English degree that led to a PhD from Harvard and, ultimately, his professorship at Carleton. In his retirement, Dr. Russell dusted off his old sax. After decades without playing a note, he got his chops back. He spent a part of every day of his later years playing the songs he loved best,

fund. The first year Doug and his partners raised $1,500. “It felt like a decent amount,” Doug says. Since then, the annual event altogether has raised more than a $100,000. Many customers knew Klimo or had been treated by him, Doug says. A lot of people left extra donations, while some left personal notes. Donations to the Klimo fund were also flowing in from other sources. Klimo “left a tremendous legacy here at the hospital because of the funds that he has raised,” says Judy Savage, the president of the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation. She says people routinely requested that instead of flowers, donations be made in Klimo’s name to the foundation. Because it started happening so often, and in such volume, the foundation decided to create a separate fund. The money supports oncology services at LGH, bringing new resources to diagnostics, chemotherapy, and “comfort equipment” for cancer patients. During the last four or five years the Klimo Fund collected more than a million dollars. If all the donations made over Klimo’s career were tallied, “(the amount) would be far greater than that,” Savage says. The fund will continue beyond Klimo’s departure, Savage says, and the foundation will continue to consult with Klimo and other oncologists in the clinic. She says patients and their families express a lot of gratitude for Klimo, and their gratitude eases the struggle that other cancer patients face. “It makes their journey a little bit easier,” Savage says. ••• Klimo gets a “warm feeling” when he discusses his fund and thinks back to the challenges of his medical career. He also feels good when he looks

into the future, he says. “I’m looking forward to something different that I know has been out there,” Klimo says as his lunch at the bottom of Lonsdale Avenue winds down (it’s his reprieve from the hospital). “I’ve been absorbed, secluded,” he says. After celebrating his 70th birthday — shortly after his retirement — he and his wife plan to get started on those home renovations. Klimo looks forward to spending more time with his two children — a neurosurgeon and a lawyer. He also plans to travel, perhaps to New York for some Broadway theatre and other cultural attractions. For a while, he thought about getting into local politics, but he’s since decided that’s a bad idea. It’s another “can of worms.” When asked how he feels about his nononsense reputation, he struggles to find words — an unusual moment in the conversation. “I hope that (my style) has worked with most of my patients,” Klimo says. “Sometimes it hasn’t worked.” He feels success doesn’t come from being liked. “You tell the truth,” he says, adding that it’s important to be creative and to work hard. “If you win (beat the cancer), you feel good,” he says. “If you lose the battle, you feel sad about it, but looking back you can say ‘Well, you know, the fight happened; I’ve done my best and it just didn’t work out.’” He hopes that when patients and their families think about his treatment, they’re satisfied he did everything he could. Thinking back on his life and the war on the disease, Klimo’s “major revelation” was that despite the pain, fear and confusion linked to cancer, “the vast majority of oncology patients are great warriors.” Death isn’t a failure, Klimo points out. If he’s done everything he can and things don’t work out, at least he’s gained valuable time for his patients and their friends and family, he says. “The next time you try again and try to get better.”

Man ﬁghts to save hideaway District staff want shed torn down for safety Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

the place to camp

A North Vancouver landowner who built a shed on a privately owned lot in the middle of the forest is fighting the District of North Vancouver, which has ordered him to take it down over fire and safety concerns. Bill Guest said he built the wooden shed and a small stone patio in front of it so he can store some tools and sit enjoying the forest on weekend visits to the property from his apartment in Lower Lonsdale. NEWS photo Jane Seyd “It’s just pleasant,” he said of the property on Mount BILL Guest enjoys the serenity of his Mount Seymour property from the back deck Seymour that he bought of the shed he built there three years ago.

Chief among the concerns is the potential for some kind of human-caused ﬁre that could quickly spread to the surrounding forest, particularly from a lot with no water supply. Bydwell said the inability to get ﬁre, police or ambulance crews to a remote property is also a worry. “We don’t want to be extending services to isolated lots,” he said. “We want growth in our existing urban

footprint.” The district has refused to consider a permit to build a home on the property. Without a “primary” structure, a shed is also not allowed as an “accessory” building, said Bydwell. Guest said he considers the shed an accessory to the land rather than another building and doesn’t see who he is hurting. Nobody lives or sleeps in the shed, he said, and there are no cooking, heating or other electrical facilities. Guest said he’s taken care to make sure the shed is in keeping with the environment and has been diligent about keeping noise to a minimum. He was even willing to put in a dry chemical ﬁre suppression system if required. “I hold myself to a pretty high standard,” he said, adding after spending $100,000 on

the land and surveying fees, $16,000 on the shed and $6,000 in legal fees, he’d be happy to just keep the shed as it is. But so far the municipality isn’t budging. “Presumably they are doing something there,” said Bydwell of the property. “Whether it’s weekend use or vacation use . . . that’s nothing we support.” Bydwell said there’s no notice on title explaining the restrictions on the lot, but added it’s the responsibility of the buyer to know what they’re buying. Such isolated lots are “actually fairly cheap compared to other North Vancouver properties,” he said. “That’s a red ﬂag.” Guest, meanwhile, said he’s still hoping to work out a compromise with the district. “Removal is a pretty blunt instrument,” he said.

wonderful for Stanley, who got to know his ﬁnest teacher on a far more intimate level, warts and all. It appeared to mean a lot to Russell, too. Other students had also kept in touch with him over the years, which must be satisfying for dedicated teachers, especially those who have no children of their own. Russell died within a year of their visit. While sad to hear it, Stanley was glad he had taken the time to reconnect with this complicated intellectual man. He asked Russell’s sister if she could part with some of his saxophone recordings, if nobody else wanted them. Now, when I call Stanley at his ofﬁce, sometimes I hear jazz in the background — the sound of a solitary Dr. Russell playing his saxophone, forever bent on perfection. kate@katezimmerman.ca

The options are in response to community residents, who dialed up opposition to the cell provider’s original proposal of a 29.5-metre tower between Highway 1 and the westbound photo illustration submitted Taylor Way offramp. They will be presented at an open house A site north of Taylor Way and Highway 1 is among five possible locations for a new at Hollyburn Country Club cell tower presented by Rogers Communications to West Vancouver this week.

Heights of the proposed poles vary between 30 and 40 metres. the tower would be an eyesore and that they hadn’t been properly But several of the proposed locations are just as obtrusive, if not consulted. Councillors asked Rogers to come back with more more so, to area residents, said Max Nikpay, president of the British options to let the community have a say. “To our knowledge, and to Rogers’ knowledge, it’s the first time Properties Area Residents Association. “It was their position they don’t want something right in their the cell provider has gone out to the community with more than one site.

NV man gives father gift of life Son makes life-saving liver donation

Drake Fenton dfenton@nsnews.com

NORTH Vancouver resident and father of four Ahmed Elneweihi was given a Father’s Day gift he never anticipated receiving — his son’s liver.

Two years ago, Ahmed, 68, discovered he had a tumour in his liver. Ahmed went through treatment and the tumor disappeared for a year, but during a follow-up appointment, his doctor informed him that the tumour had reappeared. “I exhausted all types of procedures that were not major surgery to deal with the tumour,” Ahmed said in an interview Thursday. “They didn’t work. The only alternative I was left with was a liver transplant.” Ahmed was told that he would have to ﬁnd a living volunteer, but the waiting list was estimated to be one or two years. Ahmed didn’t have time for that. “I asked myself, ‘Where am I going to ﬁnd a living donor?’” he said. Ahmed’s children, Tarek, Sameer, Dalia and Nadia, were all willing to donate. Following blood tests, it was found that three of his children were not correct matches. Only Sameer, 30, was deemed suitable to be his liver donor. According to B.C. Transplant, living donor liver transplantation involves the removal of approximately half of a healthy liver to replace one that’s diseased. The procedure is major surgery and can last up to 10 hours for the donor and 12 hours for the recipient. Following surgery, the liver begins to regenerate, with the donor’s and recipient’s returning to a normal size within roughly four

The success rate of liver transplants is quite high, with the one-year patient survival rate in B.C. listed as 85.8 per cent. When Ahmed and Sameer were told the news, it was originally Ahmed who held reservations about continuing on with the surgery. “I was concerned and worried about my son because I read on the Internet that there are some dangers to donors,” he said. “We discussed it and I saw that he was quite willing to do it, and he told me he was not concerned about himself, and

that he was more concerned about me.” On Nov. 22, 2010 Ahmed and Sameer entered the operating room at Vancouver General Hospital. Following 11 hours of surgery performed by three surgeons, Ahmed exited the operating room with 40 per cent of Sameer’s liver in his body. Both father and son were expected to make a full recovery. Ahmed’s wife, Georgina, said that she was “incredibly thankful” when the doctors informed her that both her son and husband were going to be okay. “That was, of course, only

the ﬁrst part,” she said, remembering the surgery retrospectively. Sameer made a quick recovery, and was out of the hospital within a week. Ahmed was not as lucky. There were some minor complications with his surgery, and he needed to receive blood transfusions on multiple occasions. For an entire month, Ahmed was regulated to his hospital bed. “My family formed a 24/7 support group for me,” he said. “I was never alone in the hospital, my wife and four kids were taking shifts being with me.” For Sameer, the sacriﬁce he

made for his father turned out to be more than just a donation of an internal organ. Sameer is now a fourth year psychology major at Simon Fraser University. The operation was initially scheduled to be in January, unfortunately for him it was rescheduled for late November 2010, right in the middle of ﬁnal exam preparation. “I ﬁgured that everything would work out well because (SFU’s) second semester starts in January, and I would just take that term off,” he said. “But because the surgery was in See Both page 17

Method to their madness Duo to tackle Fat Dog 100 to raise funds for youth sport

In addition, the duo has committed to raising funds for two organizations: CKNW’s Orphans’ Fund, which promotes the health and welfare of physically and mentally challenged, and disadvantaged children in the province; and Right To Play, which uses sport and play programs to improve health, develop life skills, and foster peace for children and communities around the world. “It kind of seems like a perfect ﬁt,” says Hollett. “To be doing something of this magnitude, we didn’t want it to just be another event, we wanted to put a cause behind it so that not only were we doing something for ourselves through this, we were, at the same time, beneﬁtting others. With CKNW’s Orphans’ Fund and Right To Play, they’re both such great outlets for giving youth and young adults and people basically of all ages a chance to take part in activities that they might not otherwise have a chance to participate in.” Looking back, Hollett says they realize how lucky they were growing up to be involved in countless sports and organized activities, having an immense impact on who they are today. They view the initiative as a means of helping others have similar positive experiences. Hollett and Weekes met through North Shore Athletics and have since forged a strong friendship. Hollett, a Seycove and Capilano University grad, hopes to get into personal training. Weekes, a wrestler turned triathlete, graduated from Carson Graham and is currently studying sports science and human kinetics at Douglas College While both are active, Fat Dog marks their biggest challenge to date, “By a large margin,” says Hollett. “Before training for this, the longest either of us had ever really done was a halfmarathon.” “We started training in earnest for this event at the beginning of the New Year,” he adds. Hollett views Fat Dog as a means of proving he can accomplish what he sets his mind to. “I’m up for taking up things that are a little bit of a challenge and seeing if I can rise up to them,” he says. To support their fundraising efforts, Hollett and Weekes are holding a community barbecue Saturday, June 25, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at M&M Meats at Parkgate Village.

Question:

One of the beneﬁciaries of my estate is disabled, do I need to make special arrangements for him/her?

Answer:

There are many issues to consider when structuring an estate plan to benefit a person who has a disability. First, consider his or her unique circumstances including life expectancy, abilities, limitations, living arrangements and personal relationships. Next, take into account legal considerations, such as making the gift in a way that does not jeopardize the individual’s eligibility for government disability benefits, and determining whether the Wills Variation Act of BC could apply so as to put your plan in jeopardy. Your estate plan should also be tax efficient and minimize probate fees and administration costs. The money saved will increase the funds available for the beneficiary. You might also consider providing the benefits through a trust which can offer many advantages. For example, it can create a financial safety net for the individual for life and provide protection from those who might take advantage of him or her. If you decide to use a trust, it will be important to name someone you trust, and who has the right skill set, to act as trustee. You may choose to name more than one person or involve a professional trustee such as a trust company so as to ensure continuity and stability in the management of the trust over the lifetime of the beneficiary. Parents should always consider designating someone to act as guardian of their minor children should both of them die, especially where the child has a disability. A guardian will assume personal and physical care of the child. Where the person with a disability is an adult, the court can appoint someone to act as his or her “committee” with legal authority to manage the individual’s personal or financial affairs or both. Sometimes people also leave a letter of wishes describing the circumstances of the person with a disability, their hopes for them, and their intentions as to how they’d like funds to be used for their benefit. A letter of wishes is not legally binding, but it can provide valuable guidance. Finally, you might consider the use of powers of attorney, representation agreements, registered disability savings plans and life insurance. In all cases, the goal should be to create a plan that will look after the individual when you no longer can in a way that responds to his or her individual needs and challenges.

AFTER 29 years of leading the West Vancouver Seniors’ Choir, dedicated director Betty Downing is retiring.

Director passes baton Betty Downing leads ﬁnal concert with WV ensemble

IN 1982, Betty Downing had retired as director of music of the First Baptist Church in Vancouver when her tennis partner mentioned he was starting a choir.

Memory Lane

At 54, Betty was looking forward to playing more tennis. However, that and other retirement plans — sorting photos and clearing out closets — evaporated when she signed on as director of the West Vancouver Seniors’ Activity Centre Choir. Under Betty’s direction, the choir, better known as the West Vancouver Seniors’ Choir,

grew so large that it had to be divided. The choir and its offshoot, the Keynotes, well-established under the direction of Marie Payette-Falls, perform at community and seasonal events, and at seniors residences across the North Shore. Why are choirs so popular? “You get a wonderful sense

of belonging to a group of people with whom you can share the great joy of making music,” says Betty. “The physical benefits — singing is hard work — are tremendous, as are the emotional benefits. You are part of creating something that gives pleasure to others. It is a great feeling when you know you have done well. When the audience lets you know, it’s the icing on the cake.” Confidence makes a choir work, says Betty. Instilling confidence is the job of the musical director, that and making sure everyone, performers and the audience, are enjoying themselves. A trained voice is not a prerequisite, she insists. The important thing is for people to come together in song. When that happens, the rewards are great. “The best part is the people and the energy that is generated

in the group. We formed such a bond over the years. One lady who joined the original group has been with me for the entire 29 years. People would arrive at our weekly rehearsal tired and by the end, with all that oxygen pumping, they would be energized and exhilarated. It’s almost indescribable what the making of music does for your soul. It’s uplifting.” Born Charlotte Elizabeth Faulkner on June 14, 1928, Betty grew up in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant area in a musical household. Her mother played the piano and the family sang harmony, “especially while doing the dishes after supper,” recalls Betty. After a couple of years at the University of British Columbia, Betty went to work for Woodwards — in London, See Last page 20

England. The high point of her two years abroad was watching Queen Elizabeth’s coronation procession from the company ofﬁces on Regent Street. On her return to Vancouver, Betty enrolled in normal school where she met her husband, Mike. Betty and Mike built their home and raised their family in the Delbrook area. “Ranger Avenue was just a dirt path in 1960,” recalls Betty. “Yes, people wondered why we were going so far away. We had friends over here and we fell in love with the area.” Trained as a teacher, Betty’s vocation has always been music. For 19 years, she was the lead alto soloist with the First Baptist Church. She has performed with Theatre Under The Stars, the Vancouver Opera Chorus, the North Shore Operatic Society and the Greater Vancouver Operatic Society. “How lucky could we be to have Betty,” says Sylvia Lung, of the West Vancouver Seniors’ Activity Centre. “She came with such good credentials and she is so giving — a dedicated volunteer.” After 29 years, Betty’s swan song with the West Vancouver Seniors’ Choir was sung May 1. “The ﬁnal concert was a highlight. Everyone rose to the occasion and I went out on a high note,” she says. Yes, Betty is playing more tennis and plans to get to those photos one day. In the meantime, she’s organizing the King Edward High School class of 1946 reunion and looking forward to her birthday this month. A trip to England to celebrate her daughter’s birthday is also on the horizon. It’s a given that music will always be part of Betty’s life. “From now on, I’ll be in the audience. You’ve got to have people in the audience,” she says. Betty will be replaced by Nicole Thomas and the choir welcomes new accompanist Dianne McKinnon, who is replacing Leanne Roy who is also retiring. The West Vancouver Seniors’ Choir and the Keynotes welcome new members. For more information, call Sylvia Lung at 604-9257287.

YOU ARE INVITED!

The North Shore Disability Resource Centre would like to invite you to our 35th birthday celebration!

NSDRC was started by a handful of families committed to building a “community for all” back in 1976. Since then we’ve grown to include thousands of families, who’ve come to us for everything from infant development programs to youth clubs to residential services. If you’d like to ﬁnd out more about us, or if you have been part of the NSDRC family over the years, we’d love to see you! Please join us on Tuesday, August 30th at the Tsleil-Waututh Recreation Centre, 3010 Sleil Waututh Rd., North Vancouver, from noon to 3 p.m. Please RSVP by calling 604-9855371. Pass the word on, and see you there!

Employment Pilot Project: The North Shore Disability Resource Centre believes that people who want to work at a paying job should have the opportunity to do so. In fact, working toward a community where all citizens have opportunities for paid work is mandated by our agency’s Board of Directors. NSDRC integrates the concept of paid employment for people with disabilities throughout the agency in all its programs. Each individual served through the agency is supported to make a plan with their personal goals highlighted. Employment is a goal that many have chosen to work toward. STAGE (Supportive Transition Adult Group Education) is just one program at the NSDRC which assists individuals to realize their employment goals. STAGE is currently involved in an employment pilot project where each individual’s employment“themes”are developed through a process called“Discovery”, which helps define their aptitudes and skills. It is a positive experience for all involved. Participants learn that they possess transferrable skills and strengths valuable to an employer. They also have a chance to learn first-hand about employment- we have been fortunate to have local businesses open their doors to participants so that they can tour the business, ask questions, and even conduct informational interviews. In this way participants discover how businesses function and what employers expect of employees, while also determining what motivates and interests them as future employees. The program has proven a success: two STAGE participants have already been referred to employment services in the community for job development and coaching. One person has secured paid employment and another has just begun working in a seasonal position with a local business. We have two additional participants currently involved in the STAGE Discovery Pilot Project and their enthusiasm is catching on! The pilot program’s intention is to build on successes already attained by participants. Other benefits to the pilot are: ■ Staff receive specialized training in employment supports ■ Individuals learn to access services existing in their community ■ Youth with developmental disabilities can transition into the world of work after leaving school.

Where To Start?

Imagine that you are a parent looking for social and home support programs for your son who’s just returned from rehab after a head injury. Or maybe you’re a man whose chronic health issues are getting worse preventing you from working. You could be a senior on a ﬁxed income, who needs to add grab bars and other assistive devices to your home.

For these and hundreds of other North Shore residents, North Shore Disability Resource Centre’s Information and Advocacy Program is a place to get information about existing programs and services for people with disabilities, their caregivers and families. The program also helps people with forms and applications, and advocacy when things don’t turn out as they should. “Budgets get cut and programs change all the time, so it’s often very difficult for people to even know where to begin to find services. Knowing about the programs, their criteria and application processes can really help people navigate an often complex system.” says Information and Advocacy Program Director Suzanne Klassen.“As a result, we also see where the gaps are, where there are no programs and services, and we work internally and with other agencies to strategize about how to bridge those gaps.” The program also advocates for those who should qualify for services, but have been rejected.“Often we hear from people who should qualify for Person with Disability income assistance, or other programs being turned down. Brian Platts, the Program’s Resource Assistant is very successful in helping with their forms and appeals, and speaking with whoever he needs to in order to rectify the situation.” So, if you are looking for information, referrals or advocacy for people with disabilities, the NSDRC’s Information and Advocacy Program is a great place to start. The program can be reached by calling 604.904.4088 or by visiting our website at www.nsdrc.org. The information and Advocacy Program acknowledges the support of the Province of British Columbia, and donors like you. Thank you.

12th Annual North Shore Transition Fair The North Shore Disability Resource Centre participated in the 12th Annual Transition Fair which took place on April 12, 2011 at the William Lucas Center. This Transition Fair is organized for youth, young adults and their support networks, and focuses on the transition from youth to adult services. There were over fifty educational, employment, recreational and other related services represented at the fair. This year members of our STAGE (Supportive Transition Adult Group Education) Program helped to set up for the fair. They arranged the tables and chairs and put the tablecloths and flowers in place. Later that evening Mary, Glenda and Anar represented STAGE and the NSDRC by giving out information and answering questions. The event was a great success!

Working for a community for all.

Summer Program 2011 The North Shore Disability Resource Centre (NSDRC) has been providing a program for children who require extra support during the summer months since 1978. The structure and opportunity for social interactions that school provides are not available during summer, and many recreational programs are not equipped to provide the support required by children with special needs. The NSDRC Summer Program provides financial support for children ages 3-18 with special needs so they can attend a recreation and/or leisure program of their choice. There are two options for Summer Program: 1. The NSDRC provides a bursary to help pay for camp fees. 2. The NSDRC provides a bursary to the family to hire a worker of their choice to support their child at summer camp. Families select the summer camp they wish their child to attend. Generally families register their child in a day camp at a local community centre. Some families choose other options that are more suitable to their child’s needs.

NSDRC HAS SPIRIT!

SPIRIT OF THE WEST that is… And they are going to help us celebrate NSDRC’s 35 years of building“a community for all”. Spirit of the West are set to perform their high energy Celtic inspired folk rock at a benefit concert for the NSDRC on Saturday October 22nd at Centennial Theatre.

The Summer Program receives funding from many different sources. In addition to agency fundraising dollars, contributions for the 2011 year (at print date) have been made by the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD), CIBC Wood Gundy, CKNW Orphan’s Fund, Terry Chambers, A. Keefer, Kiwanis Club of Capilano, Lynn Valley Lions Club, North Vancouver Kiwanis Foundation, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 114, the United Way of the Lower Mainland, the Vancouver Foundation, the Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund and the numerous donors who contribute to our direct mail campaign. We work closely with our community partners so that families can be supported in the best way possible. Our community partners are MCFD, North Shore Supported Child Development Program, North Shore Neighbourhood House, North and West Vancouver Recreation Centres and the Vancouver Coastal Health Region. Donations to help fund NSDRC programs for children and youth who require extra support are vital for program sustainability. Please give by going to www. canadahelps.org and entering“NSDRC.”

Come and hear these highly celebrated Canadian favourites perform music from their gold and platinum albums, including hits like Save this House and The Crawl. Guaranteed to get you dancing in your seats! The silent auction is back by popular demand. Proceeds from the concert and the auction go to support programs and services of the NSDRC.

Candy shop sweetens up customers’ days Manisha Krishnan mkrishnan@nsnews.com

WALKING into Ellie’s Candy Lane is an exercise in nostalgia, in the best kind of way. The softly lit shop is lined with jars, boxes and bins filled with brightly coloured gummies, jellybeans, chocolates, and plenty of other childhood favourites. Owner Meenpal Wilson, a friendly, petite woman who encourages her customers to “try before they buy,” says she opened her doors mostly out of a love for the sweet stuff. “I’ve always had a love for candy. I enjoy going to different candy stores and getting my little fill and filling up on different things and exploring new candies,” says the Lynn Valley resident. “It’s one of life’s guiltless pleasures. I don’t feel guilty eating it cause I enjoy it.” Wilson got the idea for the shop, which is named after her five-year-old daughter, a few years ago, when a friend suggested it. She let it sit for a while before finally deciding to run with it. “I went to a few trade shows, and my mind was blown at the world of candy. It’s huge. I’ve barely scratched the surface of what candy is for the world,” she says. The shop’s inventory includes goods from the U.S., England and other parts of Europe. Most of the chocolate bars are British, because they’re made with more cream and milk than in Canada,

according to Wilson. “In different parts of the world they have such unique and different candies,” she says, adding she’s always getting requests for people’s favourites. “We’re working on trying to carry the best of what I can get my hands on.” While children love to mix and match bulk candies, adults tend to gravitate towards European candies and licorices. A couple of Wilson’s favourites are handmade marshmallows with vanilla caramel and chocolate by Hammond’s Candies and Walkers’ Nonsuch Toffee made with brazil nuts. “Every two days I’ll try something new,” she says. Wilson is also working on expanding her selection of gluten-free, sugar-free and kosher products. Prior to opening the candy store, she worked for the Justice Institute of British Columbia, so running a small business has been quite a departure. But her husband Robert, who helped start radio stations The Beat 94.5 FM and Shore 104.3 FM, is helpful on that end of things. The feedback from customers — mostly foot trafﬁc — has been positive thus far. “Everyone that comes in here leaves happy. They’re so happy it makes my day happy. I go home a mom of three and I am able to still have energy at the end of a long day,” says Wilson. Ellie’s Candy Lane is located at 1931 Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver.

Lending a helping hand

SUMMER is starting and there are bound to be many events held in support of worthy organizations in the community.

Now is a good time to looks back on those groups, clubs, events and individuals that have helped make a difference on the North Shore over the past few months. TD Canada Trust recently donated $5,000 to the rhythm and word music therapy program for at risk youth at Keith Lynn Alternative School. Music therapist Joel Kroeker (left), Michele Henderson, principal of Keith Lynn, and Geoff Pate (holding cheque), board director of the North Vancouver Community Arts Council, accepts the cheque from Lisa Richardson and Kristen Beaulieu of TD Canada Trust.

John Barker of the West Vancouver Streamkeepers Society accepts a cheque for $400 from members of the North Shore Earth Run Committee, Caroline Helbig (left), Trish Panz, Lorraine Tanner and Heather Baker. The group organized the ﬁrst annual Earth Run in April. Proceeds also went to the David Suzuki Foundation and the World Wildlife Federation.

Dr. Leslie Gallon and her team Vancouver Smile Studio raised $4,110 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation through the Big Bike Ride hosted at Capilano Mall last month.

Willie Cromack (left) of John Henry Bikes and Pat Montani, founder of Bicycles 4 Humanity, teamed up for the Big Bike Give to collect more than 1,000 old bikes which will be restored and given to people in northeastern Uganda.

Collingwood student Julia Tikhonova, presents a cheque of $3,095 to Lions Gate Hospital Foundation’s Kristy Gill. The funds were raised through a special walk/run in support of the Be Real Clinic for disordered eating, which helps youth on the North Shore.

MAUREEN Goulet, owner of Ambrosia Adventures in Cooking presents a cheque for $1,160 to Mimi Hudson of Jessie’s Legacy, a program of Family Services of the North Shore.

Elvira Lecce grabs the keys to her new Ford Fiesta from Kevin Smith, principal of Holy Trinity elementary. The car was rafﬂed to raise money for the new school building.

Jane Webley of the Lions Gate Hospice receives a play centre for the hospice from Ron Ballendine of Save-On-Foods and Ken Christensen of Price Smart.

Women’s clothing store Get Dressed hosted a fashion show at Seymour Golf and Country Club, which raised $5,000 for the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation. The money will go to the hospital’s pediatric department. Heather Findlay (left), manager of the pediatric department, and Judy Savage (right), president of the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation, accept the cheque from Sherrie Bussword, Christine Axelson and Get Dressed owner Erica Hughes.

Quite effervescent, it carries a good head and delivers very quaffable acidity that you can also match with a wide range of tastes, from goat cheese to smoked pork chops. No longer ephemeral but a perennial winner (750 ml. $5.99 BCLS). Not only are these well balanced and refreshing ales not overtly fruity but they also add up to some pretty food friendly, lower alcohol summertime alternatives to wine. www.hiredbelly.com twitter.com/hiredbelly

Phillips Raspberry (also made with B.C. raspberries), a wheat ale, is also more dry than sweet, with fruit aromas and a slightly tart, subtle-thoughdeﬁnite raspberry palate (650 ml. $4.95 BCLS).

Valley raspberries. While the ale — which has a more tart than sweet raspberry ﬂavour — used to be only available at the brewery for a short period, it’s now a staple in Granville Island’s summer line-up and available across Vancouver (341ml 6-pack, $12.25 BCLS). “Its lightly tart, more acidic character makes it a real quencher. It’s all about refreshment — and celebrating local raspberries,” says Lambourne, who also just rolled out his aromatic limited release Ginger Beer that combines Hawaiian ginger with a deﬁnite hoppy edge in the body. Both beers are fun with food, too. Try the raspberry ale with barbecued salmon and the ginger beer with jerk chicken (650 ml. $5.50 BCLS). Lambourne attributes the return of fruit beers (which saw a surge in popularity in the 80s and 90s) as just one more indication of the broadening appeal offered by a blossoming craft brewing industry. From across the Strait, Phillips Brewing makes an assertive ginger style that will appeal to those who prefer a little less hop; but is still very much a beer despite the brewer’s suggestion that it sports “more ginger than Gilligan can handle” (650 ml. $4.95 BCLS).

Perhaps we can hope. . . Somehow, when the mercury’s hitting 30C, whether you’ve just ﬁnished mowing the lawn or running a half marathon, a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, no matter how crisp or cool, just ain’t gonna cut it as a

wicked thirst killer. But a wellmade, cleanly hopped — or even subtly fruited — glass of cold beer will. Good lagers with a bit of a bite, such as imported Czechvar (BCLS $2.55, 500 ml.), sport nicely balanced hops and malt that make it a summer staple. And while it may not be trendy as it once was, a shot of fresh lime can take things to the next, thirst-quenching level. (Think Corona, with a whole lot more heft and length.) The last few years have seen a huge rise in the popularity of Canadian craft beers, which suggests strongly that more and more people are looking beyond the predictable formulas trotted out for so long by big breweries. Much like their culinary counterparts, craft brewers increasingly look to the season and to fresh and locally available ingredients for inspiration. While everyone may have jumped on the pumpkin ale bandwagon a few years back, now it’s fruit beers that are coming to the fore. “As the guy who’s making the beers, it keeps things interesting,” says Granville Island brewmaster Vern Lambourne, who’s just put the ﬁnishing touches on this year’s False Creek Raspberry Ale, made with 100-per-cent Fraser

PETS

Consider a goldﬁsh

I’M going to be honest here (like that has won me friends before).

I sometimes look at a person with a dog and wonder, “Why on earth did you get a dog? A goldﬁsh would have been a better place for you to start learning about the responsibilities of pet ownership.” I’m not being judgmental, I’m simply stating a fact. There are some people who are not cut out to have a dog. My next door neighbours, who have three dogs kept in a kennel run during daylight hours and never walked, are two of them. Do people have a fantasy that dog ownership is easy? They see others walking a dog down the street and say “Hey, I want that to me be!” but fail to understand that getting that dog to walk so pleasantly beside its owner took many months of training. Months, that for most people, started with puppy classes where the young dog learned important socialization skills to help it become a mentally and emotionally balanced adult dog. These classes included homework that the owners had to practice with their puppies every day, along with their daily walks.

Canine Connection Joan Klucha

Then came introductory obedience classes. Some people skip these, thinking the puppy class was all they needed. As their puppy matured into an adolescent, though, it was less likely to follow the owners around and to come when called. Mixed with the occasional bout of destruction, the dog’s behaviour soon had its owners signing up for more obedience classes geared towards teaching them how to be conﬁdent leaders so their adolescent dogs would respect them as a pack leader instead of a treat giver. This is also when some people give up on their dogs, realizing that it is hard work. That’s like a parent giving up on a teenager, saying that they are too much work. It

is during these trying times that the adolescent dog (and human, for that matter) needs our guidance and leadership the most. For those who stick it out, they are rewarded with the terrible twos. Yup, more chaos. Many dogs, whether they have received adequate leadership and training or not, can express some pretty inappropriate behaviours between two to four years of age. Again, many dogs are given up at this time because the owners are fed up with raising a dog because they didn’t realize it’s hard work. If you can hang in there and be that devoted dog owner — who will care for and do right by them — you will be rewarded with the most loyal and faithful of companions, one that makes others think to themselves how cool it would be to have a dog. A companion who rests his head on my arm while another rests her head on my feet as I type this column. But if you can’t handle the degree of responsibility, the daily time and the unwavering commitment — not just for the next four years, but for the rest of your dog’s life, which can last up to 15 years if you’re lucky — then please get a goldﬁsh.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to THE WORLD OUTSIDE

CLAUDIA Gomsis and Pablo Castillo have spent the last year travelling from Chile to Alaska along the Pan-American Highway. They have been regularly updating a Spanish Facebook page, Desde Chile Hasta Alaska, with sections on each country they’ve visited.

John Goodman jgoodman@nsnews.com

GIVE or take a few obstacles along the way, such as difficulty obtaining U.S. visas and VW parts, Claudia Gomsis and Pablo Castillo are close to realizing their dream of travelling the entire length of the Pan-American Highway in an old VW Bug. The young couple stopped by the North Shore News offices the other day to tell their story so far. They met six years ago while both were students at the Universidad Católica del Maule in Talca, Chile, Claudia’s hometown. Pablo was studying engineering while Claudia was working on a psychology degree. A visit to the southern tip of the Pan-American Highway inspired them to plan a journey along its route once they’d finished school. “Our friends didn’t believe we were going to do it,” says Pablo. “You’re going to travel from Chile to Alaska in that car.” The trip took a lot of preparation and the couple began plotting their route years ago. “We saved our money because we knew we needed to live one year without work. It was all planned out,” says Pablo. “Claudia is writing a book about the journey.” The couple began their trip July 31 last year, regularly updating their Facebook

page, Desde Chile Hasta Alaska, with tales of their travels. “We’ve been in places such as Colombia, Guatemala and Mexico and we haven’t had any trouble,” says Pablo. “We always travelled in the morning and stopped before sunset. We always listened to people when they say, ‘Don’t go there because it’s dangerous.’” They ﬁgure they’ve travelled over 8,000 kilometres in the past year. “The Pan-American Highway doesn’t go to Venezuela or Belize and we went to those places as well. The idea was to go from Chile to Alaska in one year and we’ve taken advantage of our time to visit many places.” They’ve also checked in with VW clubs and dealerships along the route to keep their Bug in running order, and as thanks they give props to new auto friends such as Vochomania, VWQuebec and Catso Club Ecuador on Facebook. The fact that Claudia has not been able to obtain a U.S. visa hasn’t stopped them. “She applied for a visa in Chile and she applied again in Costa Rica,” says Pablo. “She took a plane from Mexico to Toronto and I took six days to travel through the United States.” They’ve made another application here in Vancouver and have an interview on June 23. Up until then they plan to explore the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. “If they don’t give us a visa we will continue through Canada and go to the Arctic,” says Pablo. “I will enter Alaska to stamp my passport and complete our trip in this old car.”

SPORT 2011 B.C. HIGH SCHOOL AA PROVINCIAL RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP

Collingwood senior boys win B.C. title WEST Vancouver’s Collingwood Cavaliers senior boys rugby team capped off a great year of sports for their school by winning the B.C. high school AA provincial championship June 4 with a 28-21 victory over Brentwood College.

Collingwood’s tennis team in the spring and girls’ field hockey team last fall also won AA provincial titles. The top-ranked Cavaliers never led in the championship game against their Vancouver Island opponents until two minutes were left in the match played at Abbotsford’s Rotary Stadium. Up until that point the contest had been a seesaw battle with Brentwood College going ahead three times only to have the Cavs tie it up after each score. Collingwood athletic director David Speirs reports that after the game was tied at 21-21, “a great take off Brentwood’s ensuing kickoff and some more terrific rucking allowed scrumhalf Graham Laver to once again feed Marshall on one of his patented blindside breaks. All game, Brentwood had smashed him back on these, but this time he broke completely through and found running room. With one man to beat he went for his trademark ‘sidestep’ only to have his leg collapse under him. Despite this he managed to keep the ball alive and the ball was spun to Jimmy Kim who made a halfbreak. Suddenly Connor McRae was there in support and when Jimmy drew the final Brentwood defender, Connor’s great speed did the rest. He scored under the posts and with two minutes to go, the Cavs were finally in front. “Brentwood stormed back down the field and after a penalty they surged towards the goal-line with their powerful driving maul off a lineout. This time Collingwood managed to stop them and they were forced to spin the ball wide. Collingwood’s mid-three defence swarmed forward and tied up the ball. Suddenly, Rupert Cosulich appeared with it and drove forward to set up a ruck. Jimmy Kim pounded the ball off the field and the celebration was on.” Collingwood has now won the AA title a record six times.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The weeks ahead emphasize home, children, real estate, security, retirement, gardening, soul, nutrition and Mother Nature. It’s a splendid time for a camping vacation. (Better not to leave before June 28. You face many “home concerns” until then.) You will be ending some associations and projects now, perhaps to give new ones room to grow. Although this is usually a sluggish, restful period, you’re kept busy with a lot of communications, paperwork, errands – or wanderlust – now through July. Since your curiosity is up, investigate new income sources/ideas – they’re lucky! Taurus April 20-May 20: Be ambitious Sunday/ Monday – despite a subtle disagreement or heavyhanded legal or educational “pronouncement,” you’re on the path to success (for at least two years, financially, so be optimistic, make plans and go forth these months ahead!). Now to Aug. 2, you might spend too much, or be pushed to spend by government fees. Saving is your friend! Tuesday begins a month of paperwork, short trips, errands, casual acquaintances – you’ll be busy! Love is gentle, easy Monday to Wednesday, but you might doubt it: relax. Retreat, rest Thursday/Friday. Your energy surges Saturday p.m. Gemini May 21-June 20: This week isn’t easy for anyone. You could meet barriers or the need to compromise in finances or sex, especially Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday/Friday. On the plus side, your courage and determination grow now to early August, and so does your optimism. Group affairs grow; you’ll feel befriended. If someone criticized you to a group (secretly) these past few weeks, they prove ineffectual now. The month ahead emphasizes earnings, spending, possessions, sensuality and memory. Sunday’s gentle, mid-week’s ambitious (Wednesday best) and late week brings optimism and popularity!

Cancer June 21-July 22: A month of quietude and weariness ends Tuesday, as four weeks of high energy, charisma and effectiveness begin. Start important projects. Ask favours, call in markers. Until June 28 (next week) you might face opposition, or be attracted to a deeply alluring person. As usual, love is better than war. In the present week, especially Sunday to Tuesday, watch what you say to others: avoid secrets, gossip, etc. You are just beginning a splendid year-long popularity surge, especially at work. After Tuesday’s confusion/worry, grand inspiration flows Wednesday – follow hunches! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Tuesday begins a month of retreat, quietude and rest. Your career luck will stay high, even rise. You can work in the background to advance your position: you’ll be especially good with government, institutional or head-office contacts. (Though these present some difficulties this Sunday and Tuesday.) Your hopes and optimism will rise also, and despite your need for solitude, you could receive an unusual amount of calls and invitations. So grab your rest when you can. This week isn’t easy, so remain realistic and diplomatic, particularly in legal, travel, sex and financial zones. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Tackle your work Sunday/ Monday. Tuesday begins a month of celebration, flirtation, entertainment, optimism and popularity! You might meet someone very compatible in a group, someone who lifts you to humorous, good-natured heights. The year going tforward favours love – and far travel, learning, culture. Various problems and barriers confront you Sunday to Tuesday – don’t invest nor make any important commitment. This advice applies Thursday also. Inspiration returns Wednesday – and relationships turn from delusion to sweet knowing. Friday’s sexy, Saturday night’s loving, wise.

June 19 - 25, 2011

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: You feel romantic Sunday/ Monday, but events don’t help. Be cautious. Monday begins six weeks of partnership opportunities, possibly of legal hassles. Seek convergence, not dispute. If a partner begins talking about an international move, be wary. Recently, after a five-month respite, the sober side of your life returned to prominence – you can once again re-make your domestic, security, property and child-oriented situation – much more fortunately! (To next June.) Tuesday starts a month of ambition, and dealings with authorities. Reject relationships Thursday, embrace them Friday. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Mysteries fade; enlightenment comes Tuesday onward (for a month). Expect widened understanding, gentle love, international contacts, religious, educational and cultural involvements. Your life, for the next three years, will be filled with opportunities (especially financial ones) and, if you’re single, with cheerful, attractive love prospects. Every odd-numbered month, and the 10 days before it, will promote these (relationships and opportunities). E.g., July (seventh month) qualifies, with late June. Minor communication snafus this week. Romance calls Wednesday and Saturday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The (semi?) exciting events of the past few weeks yield now to a deeper, slower thrill, as intimacy, commitment, financial investment or clearing debts, grow more important for the month ahead. (It starts Tuesday morning – but make no commitments before June 28.) Secrets, research, intuition, dreams and hunches accompany this commitment trend. You might fall for someone new, or raise an ongoing romance to a more mature level, now through early August. If you’re the feisty type this phase can bring arguments and fights. Your choice! Domestic intuition strong Wednesday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Finish a project or chore Sunday/Monday. By late Monday onward (to August) a new task enters; and by Tuesday, a month of new horizons, fresh air and relationship excitement begins. This happens every early summer, but it’s more significant this year, as your romantic luck is beginning to climb strongly! If you’re married, the month ahead brings joys through children, vacation, sports and “winning.” (Singles get this, too.) Watch what you say – and legal parameters – midweek. Rest, rejuvenate, strengthen foundations Thursday/ Friday. Romance Saturday p.m. – join a group. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: It hasn’t been a strong summer for you, Aquarius, but the months ahead (12 of them) bring a strong, beneficial rebuilding period, which might be marked by the purchase of a new home, better rental, the entry of a new baby, lifefreeing therapy, or other good foundational moves. One of the first requirements of this new foundation will be work, which confronts you Tuesday onward for a few weeks. Dive into this eagerly (but cautiously before June 28, as the path’s a bit rocky). You could be fooled about money Tuesday, and make a bad bet. But money inspiration’s great Wednesday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Rest deeply Sunday/ Monday – Monday p.m. onward, your energy and charisma rise, and Tuesday morning begins a month of romance, creativity, pleasure and adventure! But Monday also starts six weeks of friction on the home front. Be gentle with parents and kids. Romantic urges outside the home might cause dissention within it. These same six weeks, you might have an opportunity to buy or sell real estate – OK, but strictly avoid moving into a new residence before Aug. 3. (It would “set up” long-term friction.) You might change sources of income. Joy Wednesday: thank God. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
