Grosvenor presents redesign to council Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

A shorter, more architecturally distinct version of the mid-rise development earmarked for the 1300-block of Marine Drive in West Vancouver took one more baby step towards realization.

Council voted unanimously Monday night to hand the revised blueprints to its design review committee.

The height of each building has been reduced by one storey and between 20 and 27 feet from the original design.

At seven and six storeys, the two terraced mid-rises would now measure 79 and 68 feet, respectively.

The buildings would also feature smaller units than originally planned, giving the project 100 units with an average size of 1,771 square feet.

10 years for Lighthouse Park killer

Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

THE man responsible for the 2009 stabbing death of a woman in West Vancouver’s Lighthouse Park has been handed a 10-and-a-half year sentence.

Alexander Lawrence LaGlace, 49, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter last year for the killing of Tammy Lynn Cordone, heard his sentence in Supreme Court on Thursday.

Because LaGlace has been in custody since his 2010 arrest, he will only serve another four years and three months. The federal government passed the Truth in Sentencing Act later that year, which formally ended the common practice of judges allowing time served in pre-trial custody to count double towards prison sentences.

Former psych hospital inmate stabbed girlfriend multiple times

Crown and defence counsel had agreed that a total sentence of 10 to 12 years less time already served would be appropriate.

LaGlace admitted to being responsible for stabbing Cordone in the chest 19 times as she lay in a tent the homeless couple were sharing in a remote area of Lighthouse Park. LaGlace later called 9-1-1 and reported finding Cordone’s body, though he appeared intoxicated and emotionally flat as he denied his involvement to police. It was only after he admitted to an undercover officer posing as a crime boss that he’d killed Cordone months later that police made an arrest.

Despite taking into consideration LaGlace’s past with

alcoholism, drug addiction, mental illness, early childhood neglect and troubled upbringing, Justice Terry Schultes said LaGlace’s moral culpability for the crime was high.

Making matters worse, toxicology tests from Cordone’s blood showed she would have been conscious but severely impaired by alcohol and prescription drugs and defenceless at the time of the attack.

The two had a “fractious” relationship the judge said, but no motive for the killing ever emerged other than “she would freak out at him because she did not want to be left alone,” when LaGlace wanted to busk with his guitar for money.

LaGlace had spent the better part of the 10 years prior to the crime living in a forensic psychiatric hospital in Port Coquitlam.

Pundits post-mortem election E

PROVINCIAL ALL

Former NDP MLA for North Van ‘totally shocked’ by result

Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

PUNDITS and pollsters from both sides of the political spectrum were wiping the proverbial egg off their faces in the wake of Tuesday’s unexpected Liberal victory.

“I was totally shocked,” said David Schreck, a commentator, NDP supporter and one of only two people to ever win an NDP seat on the North Shore. Prior to Tuesday night, Schreck said he thought the only thing hanging in the balance was the size of the NDP victory.

How a one-time 20-point lead predicted by pollsters turned into a complete reversal

on election night is something everyone is wondering, said Schreck.

“I bet Angus Reid and Ipsos would like the answer to that question,” he said.

Schreck said there was a lot that went wrong for the NDP. “The Liberals had a very tightly targeted message aimed at their supporters,” he said, while the NDP campaign was overly cautious and didn’t reinforce their message about why change was needed.

“It presumed it was in the bag,” said Schreck.

“It wasn’t in the bag.”

Greg Lyle, a political strategist, Liberal supporter and pollster for Innovative Research, said several factors likely contributed to the polls being wrong. A lot of polls are done online, which tends to favour certain types of responses, he said. Not all polls take into account that certain demographic groups are much more likely to vote than others, he said.

Voters may have also simply changed their minds in the ballot box, he said. “People are thinking about a large number of things when

they answer a poll . . . when they are in the ballot box, they are thinking about what’s top of mind.” For many voters, he said, that was the economy.

Lyle added the result boiled down to “the wrong leader and a bad campaign on the part of the NDP, and the right leader and a good campaign on the B.C. Liberals’ part.”

“Adrian Dix is the poster boy for everything the Liberals say was wrong with the NDP in the 1990s,” said Lyle. “As a symbol he worked for the Liberals and not the NDP.” Voter turnout on the North Shore ranged from a low of 52 per cent of registered voters in West Vancouver Sea to Sky to a high of 60 per cent in the most hotly-contested riding, North Vancouver-Lonsdale. North VancouverSeymour saw a turnout of 55 per cent while 54 per cent of voters cast ballots in West Vancouver-Capilano.

Provincially, voter turnout was 52 per cent of registered voters and 49 per cent of eligible voters.

Those numbers are expected to be higher

once all mailin ballots, and the ballots cast in district offices and in other districts are counted, said Don Main of Elections B.C. Schreck said he’s not convinced a higher turnout would have boosted the NDP’s numbers. “Everybody likes to pretend if more voters turn out they would have voted for their party,” he said. But it’s just as likely the numbers would be split, he added.

Schreck said he also doesn’t buy the Green Party-as-spoilers argument.

“Some New Democrats like to pretend if the Greens weren’t there a substantial portion of the vote would go to the NDP,” he said.

Schreck said it’s equally likely those voters would just stay home on election day.

Regardless, “There’s no question Christy Clark has a mandate to govern,” he added.

“We’ll see how she uses that mandate.”

2013

Meeting packed with support for development From page 1 packingcouncilchambersheapedpraiseonGrosvenordevelopment group and reminded council of the dire consequences of passing on the project.

The Grosvenor development adds an opportunity for seniors to downsize without leaving their communities, according to Mark Ballard. “As a community we need to think bigger. We need to think of not 2013, but 2040,” he said.

Ballard likened the sprouting of a development in Ambleside to a tree climbing towards the sky.

“Buildings grow, and that is the natural evolution of the urban environment.”

He also stressed that while property values may dip, that trend will quickly be reversed due to the excitement provided by the development.

“Aggregation of development will really create a ‘there’ there,” agreed Jennifer Marshall.

Responding to a 1,400-signature petition requesting building heights be capped at four storeys, Cliff Du Fresne was one of several speakers who called on council to move quickly lest Grosvenor take their offer off the table.

“You’re deciding between seven storeys and no storeys,” he said.

The only note of strong opposition at the meeting was voiced

by Melinda Slater.

“I will never believe that putting up that kind of height and density on the waterfront is ever a good idea,” she said.

Ambleside retailer Christin Fernandes also expressed support for the project. “It’ll make us relevant again in the looming face of Park Royal,” she said.

Ambleside is a dying woman with blue lips and a faint pulse, and Grosvenor’s development is a defibrillator, according to Maggie Pappas, West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce’s head of advocacy.

“History will judge those who let her die,” she said.

Other advocates for the project included former mayor Pam Goldsmith-Jones and former councillor Shannon Walker.

Some of the support may have been overly effusive, according to Coun. Michael Lewis.

“There was a whole lot more hyperbole here tonight than in past meetings,” Lewis said before addressing Grosvenor architect James Cheng. “This has been called a ‘game changer,’ the design’s been called a ‘masterpiece.’ I’m not sure it’s the Eiffel Tower, Mr. Cheng, but it’s not the London Wheel, either.”

The consequences of the project are more mundane and less dire than some believe, according to Coun. Craig Cameron.

“The world’s not going to end if this building is built, nor will it end if the building is not built,” he said.

Project supporters and opponents have each invoked the district’s official community plan to justify their position.

“The reality is the OCP provides virtually no guidance about this proposal and how we should assess it,” Cameron said.

The contentiousness of the debate is not Grosvenor’s fault, he added.

“They unfortunately have wittingly or unwittingly blundered into a uniquely West Vancouver debate,” Cameron said. “No

At a council meeting in March, Mayor Michael Smith chastised Cameron for submitting a request for a smaller development building.

“Are you a planner? Are you an architect?” Smith asked at the time.

“To those who said at the beginning, we shouldn’t have even said anything back to Grosvenor because we’re not architects and planners, I say, well it’s a good thing we said something,” Cameron said, complimenting the new design as being “less monolithic” than previous incarnations.

One lingering question remains just who will buy the units in the building, and how often they will be in Ambleside, according to Cameron. “A building that’s half-empty is not going to improve the vitality of Ambleside,” he said.

Smith was interrupted by applause three times while he praised Grosvenor for their community engagement and urged council to get on with things.

“They don’t want to put their name on an inferior building,” he said of Grosvenor.

“This is a tremendous financial opportunity for the district,” Smith continued. “It allows us to lever those funds into a new public safety building.”

None of the project’s opponents have provided ideas about an alternate way to generate $40 million plus $1 million in new annual tax revenue to fund the public safety building, Smith added.

Adopted First Nations man felt like an outsider From page 1

He had only been released six months before killing Cordone.

Despite living marginalized and homeless, Cordone’s relationships with her family were no less important, and her family’s suffering is no less severe, Schultes said.

Just three weeks before her death, Cordone had a lengthy and warm phone call with her sister in Ontario.

But, Schultes acknowledged that LaGlace had pleaded guilty and shown remorse for the crime.

LaGlace, who is a First Nations man, was adopted by a nonaboriginal family as an infant because of severe neglect by his birth parents. He was raised with no connection to his aboriginal culture and grew up experiencing racism and the feeling of being an outsider. He has shown an interest in reconnecting with his culture as part of rehabilitative measures in prison, the judge noted.

LaGlace has not posed any behavioural difficulties since he has been in jail, other than one incident of possibly making “home brew” in his cell — though Schultes said that may have been a case of leftover juice fermenting in its container.

LaGlace will be eligible to apply for parole after serving onethird of his remaining sentence. Crown lawyer Nicole Gregoire had requested that he not be eligible for parole until reaching the halfway mark.

High-voltage lines will run on St. Davids Port tells residents it would cost $10M to reroute hydro wires

Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

RESIDENTS in Moodyville are not welcoming the news that Port Metro Vancouver and BC Hydro are set to install high-voltage transmission lines down St. Davids Avenue.

The port confirmed what residents had feared at a special meeting held on Wednesday night after delaying the project for several weeks. In the interim, it investigated other options for providing electrical servicing to the port as the Low Level Road expansion project proceeds.

“Essentially we are proceeding with the power lines down the St. Davids corridor and we explained to the community that their preferred option . . . is not feasible at this time within the project constraints, mainly budget,” said Justin Pedley, PMV’s director of trade areas.

Running the lines from the west along port property would add $10 million to the $101million cost for the project.

The city agreed to the LLR project without ever hearing about the port’s plans for St. Davids. The lack of public consultation has been the cause of tremendous angst in the community said Moodyville resident Amanda Nichol.

“They started off trying to stick it to the residents, and they’re continuing to stick it to the residents at every turn,” she said.

The revelation that cost is the deciding factor is particularly frustrating, given that residents were previously told that it was technically not possible and that the port and its tenants stand to earn billions more with the Low Level Road project and pending terminal expansions.

“You have how many tenants down there that, together, pull in multi-billion-dollar profits, every single year? $10 million to those people is nothing. This

is a big deal to (Moodyville) people,” Nichol said.

That comment came up several times at Wednesday’s meeting, Pedley said, but the city and its residents are already getting substantial benefits from the Low Level Road expansion, and no further compensation should be needed.

“We want to reiterate that we’re completing the Spirit Trail. We’re stabilizing the existing slope. This is a longstanding risk for the city, we’re improving safety and access for all users of Low Level Road, there’s some environmental benefits and reduced (train) whistling,” Pedley said. “The port feels that there’s already approximately $20-million in benefits to the city if you don’t include the new and improved road.”

Even if the port opted for the west option, the St. Davids one would still be needed over the short term.

As for the lack of consultation, Pedley said PMV has done “more than enough.”

“We believe that we’ve followed the process for a linear project to the best of our ability and that we believe we’ve

Proposal likely back at council June 17 From page 3 The development might allow a community meeting place in the covered area between the buildings, a notion that holds some appeal for Coun. Trish Panz “We don’t want a gathering place at a mall,” she said.

Coun. Bill Soprovich said he wasn’t committing to anything except keeping an

open mind.

“I’m a man of few words,” he said, drawing laughter from many in attendance.

The project is expected to return to council June 17, possibly being considered for approval in October following a public process in September.

Coun. Mary-Ann Booth recused herself from the Grosvenor discussion as usual.

Feathering the nest I

F there was every any doubt that Stephen Harper’s Conservatives bear zero resemblance to the long ago reformers who railed against government corruption and pork barrel politics, the expense scandal that’s engulfed Senator Mike Duffy has surely put it to rest.

Duffy’s challenges with basic standards of ethical behaviour, not to mention the former journalist’s professed difficulty understanding forms, are already well known. The senator was caught claiming that he lived in P.E.I. — despite being a fixture in Ottawa for decades — in order to claim $90,000 in expenses over a period of several years, to which he somehow felt entitled.

Duffy later said he was going to do the right thing and pay the money back.

This week, however, it was revealed Duffy never had to worry about coming up with the cash himself. That’s because Nigel Wright, Harper’s chief of staff, wrote a personal cheque to cover the $90,000 for the hard-up senator.

Why do this? Duffy has attributes valued by the Conservatives. He’s a partisan fighter and bagman who delivers — qualities more admired than nobler traits in many Ottawa circles.

Duffy has already disgraced himself and readily become the poster boy for everything that’s wrong with the Senate, largely seen as a parking garage for party faithful. But Wright should have known better. Not only was the “gift” against the rules, it leaves the impression that the prime minister’s closest allies condone Duffy’s fraud.

Harper owes the public an explanation.

Add teen psych beds to HOpe Centre

Dear Editor: On Feb. 17, the North Shore News published a story

by Erin McPhee headlined Talk at the Top — Students Rally in Support of Peers with Mental Illness. As a member of North Shore Youth for Mental Health, I was heavily involved in Talk at the Top and its organization. We took a huge step towards educating students and our schools about mental health, but there’s still much to be done.

Talk at the Top opened my eyes to how absurd our teen mental-health services are. On the second day of the conference, my friend told his story: His friend had attempted suicide, so he waited with her in Lions Gate ER for three hours waiting to get help. During those three hours, nobody, not one psychologist, not one doctor, came to help. Someone who is already lost in life shouldn’t again be lost when they get to the hospital.

There is no specific area for

CONTACT US

adolescents with mental health issues at the hospital. They are either sent to pediatrics, where the staff is trained to deal with physically, not mentally, ill patients, or they are sent to the adult psych ward which is in no way a welcoming place.

Usually an admitted adolescent will be seen by a different adult psychiatrist each day. Changing doctors

means that important information slips through the cracks, that there is no real relationship formed with doctor and patient, and that the teens don’t get the care they need.

Possibly even more important is that psychiatrists need an extra two years of schooling to be certified in treating adolescents as

opposed to adults, so one cannot safely assume that the doctors dealing with adolescents at Lions Gate are fully trained to do so.

With the new HOpe Centre for mental health there is an extra floor yet to find its purpose. It is obvious that a ward specifically meant for teens is of utmost importance.

If we can get designated beds

for adolescents, then the adolescent psychiatrists will come and our teens will be better cared for.

Adults keep telling us that we are the future, that the future depends on us. But I think that, right now, we need to think of what the adults can do for their teens.

Cara McGuire North Vancouver

We can control ‘where, just not ‘who’

Dear Editor: Nonsense, I said in the ’60s when this nutty concept of wearing seatbelts was introduced! I’m a careful driver, and how do you expect me to keep those rambunctious boys in those straightjackets? Then, the even sillier alcohol limit breath test — hell, that would limit me to less than six beers at Friday night poker. Just more “government statistics babble”!

Well guess what — soon my kids were yapping at me. “Put on your seatbelt, Dad!” As for the beers limit — I drive better with a few beers in me, every guy knows that!

No, I will not stop smoking. . . . Well, guess what?

Statistics: mankind’s enemy, or friend?

Some “liar” or “statistician” will tell us that oil tankers laden to the gunwales with bitumen won’t leak and can’t sink. Yet seatbelt-wearing people still are injured, or worse, because some

poker-night partier had just a half dozen “or so” beers.

Still, some say, if that stupid government stopped interfering in our lives, we might be able to have some fun.

Bitumen laden ships are less likely to leak or sink if we do two things: Reduce the probability of incidents (leaks — or sinkings) by dictating where those ships can travel. To whit, only in common sense locations: that is, not in busy Burrard Inlet, or the islandbound Douglas Channel.

The second suggestion likely won’t be approved — keep people off those tankers. People can be the problem.

Obviously, we’re left with a partial solution only. But it’s a step forward. Simple as that.

These mental symptoms aren’t officially associated with seasonal allergies, whose more obvious signs are a runny nose and bloodshot eyes. But they’re there, all the same.

All four members of my family suffer from allergies of various sorts. And while our rampant histamines are not threatening our lives, they sometimes impede the pursuit of family unity.

Experts never mention how irritable you feel when you’ve spent all day clearing your throat, rubbing your eyes and enduring a dry mouth as a result of allergy medicine. They don’t touch on the weeks of weariness or the random fits of yawning. Most of all, they ignore the dim-wittedness that allergies exacerbate.

Now, I’m well aware that I have only half my marbles at the best of times. I admit to leaving my keys in the fridge, setting fire to things inappropriately, and getting lost on the way to places I’ve been a hundred times.

Usually, though, I know the difference between an earthquake and an avalanche.

I’ve often found myself at a loss for words in recent years, but these days I conjure up memories of the old Bewitched character, Aunt Clara.

Remember her? As brilliantly played by Marion Lorne, she was always amusingly befuddled. Her chubby cheeks would sway as she desperately attempted to come up with anything remotely sensible to say. Setting aside her angelic temperament, we could now be twins. I wonder if she had

hay fever, too.

Stanley used to be even worse off. His brain would turn into porridge in the springtime.

He’d wander around in a fog, practically incapacitated, unable to properly do his work and quite capable of biting your head off for drawing attention to his many bizarre lapses. When he looks back on embarrassing interludes in his life, he now realizes many of them were probably the result of allergies, whether seasonal or food-related.

When Stanley was a university student, for instance, the mother of his roommate called and asked if her son Peter was there. Stanley said he wasn’t, but that he’d let Peter know his parents would be dropping by the next day at around 10 a.m. That morning, only Stanley was home when Peter’s parents, a rather formal pair, showed up. He had forgotten to give Peter the message, so Peter was out.

While the young man’s parents were waiting for their son to return, the everhospitable Stanley offered them a cup of tea. He went into the kitchen and made it for them and served each of them a mug. Peter’s father took a sip from his cup, only to find the water was stone cold.

Stanley had neglected to turn on the burner underneath the kettle.

There are countless tales of Stanley’s forgetfulness — which have almost always

taken place in April or May, like the time he ate a fortune cookie with the fortune still in it, or the time he flooded our house by leaving the tap running into a plugged sink overnight. Allergies can’t defend themselves, so they make ideal scapegoats. To Stanley’s credit, he’s also done something about them.

Last year he decided to get weekly shots to build up his resistance to the allergens that usually trouble him. His doctor said there were no guarantees,

but that many patients had enjoyed good results.

So Stanley gave the shots a whirl. To his and our family’s delight, he’s been affected much less than usual this year. While I stumble around like a zombie (I have even developed a hideous twitching eye to complement my Igor-ish lurching), he’s blithely doing yard work without a sniffle.

This, as a Huffington Post headline declares that “experts” predict the 2013 allergy season Could Be the Worst Ever,

Thanks to Climate Change.

Lord, take me now, as Tony Soprano’s awful mother liked to wail.

We have a friend whose allergies are so terrible, no matter where he is in Canada in the spring and summer, that he makes a point of leaving the country for half the year. One day I’ll follow suit. I’ll hop a train like a hobo, headed for parts unknown — although with my luck, my boxcar will be loaded with hay. kate@katezimmerman.ca

Lawyer says NV rioter’s actions minor

Asks for no criminal record for London Drugs looter Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

THE lawyer for a North Shore man who stole cigarettes from London Drugs during the June 2011 Stanley Cup riot is asking a judge to let his client off without a criminal record.

Todd Gartland, 23, was among the crowd of looters who surged into the downtown London Drugs store at Granville and Georgia on the night of the riot after some people smashed the front windows of the store. Gartland was captured on security cameras walking into the store wearing a Canucks hockey jersey, then leaving moments later with two cartons of cigarettes.

Gartland has pleaded guilty to a charge of participating in a riot.

At a sentencing hearing Monday in Vancouver provincial court, Crown prosecutor Daniel Porte asked Judge Reginald Harris for a conditional sentence, arguing Gartland’s conduct on the night of the riot contributed to destabilizing a downtown area “already being overrun with rioting, looting and mayhem.”

But Gartland’s defence lawyer Les Mackoff urged the judge to consider a conditional discharge, which would leave his client without a criminal record.

Mackoff said Gartland’s actions were relatively minor, and amounted to a split second of bad judgment while drunk in an otherwise exemplary life. He said Gartland’s ability to work as a sous chef might be hampered by a criminal record.

Porte told the judge Gartland had begun the evening with 10 pints of beer at the Cactus Club in West Vancouver on the night of the riot. He was heading to a friend’s house in lower Lonsdale with a six-pack of “tall boy” beer when Gartland saw

the smoke coming from downtown and decided to take the SeaBus over to watch the riot.

Eventually, Porte said, Gartland found himself outside the London Drugs store after rioters had smashed in the front windows. He decided to go into the store and took two cartons of cigarettes, which he almost immediately discarded.

“I was a drunk idiot. I went into London Drugs,” he later told police. “I didn’t destroy the city.”

In court, the prosecutor played a 9-1-1 call from a security guard inside the store, who told police about 25 employees had sought safety in a secure basement room after looters smashed in the front doors.

“They’re just flooding into the store,” he told the 9-1-1 operator, estimating the number of looters at anywhere from 50 to 100 people. He added the looters were “stealing anything and everything.”

In victim impact statements, other London Drugs employees described being terrified the looters would set fire to the store while they were inside it.

Gartland turned himself in six months after the riot, when the Vancouver police department posted a photo of him online as a suspected rioter.

Porte said getting caught up in the riot is no excuse for Gartland’s behaviour. “It’s a group as a whole committing criminal actions,” he said.

Mackoff said Gartland has no criminal record and his actions were relatively minor compared to those of rioters who instigated events that night, taunted police or set cars on fire. Gartland has also had to deal with the notoriety of having his name show up in search engines as one of the rioters, he said.

If the judge grants Mackoff’s request, it would be the first time one of the Stanley Cup rioters escaped without a criminal record. Most of the rioters have received conditional sentences of between three to five months.

At least three other North Shore rioters have already been sentenced for their roles in the melee.

Matthew William Cottrell, 24, who was among the rioters who broke into Sears, received a four-month conditional sentence — including three months of house arrest and one month on a curfew — plus eight months probation in January.

Julian Alexander Eiers, 21, who — like Gartland — looted in London Drugs, got a two-month conditional sentence — including one month of house arrest and one month of a curfew — plus nine months probation in February.

Jacob Pateman, 19, who was captured on video running into the downtown Sears store through the store’s smashed glass doors, grabbing cosmetics from a display case, then running out again, also received a two-month conditional sentence last year.

N. Lonsdale United turns 100 From a store front to a Methodist chapel to a congregation of 250

Christine Lyon clyon@nsnews.com

IT has changed names, moved locations and undergone a major expansion, but its role as a centre for faith in the community has remained unchanged for 100 years.

North Lonsdale United Church plans to mark its milestone anniversary with a centennial celebration on Sunday, May 26.

“At our regular 10 o’ clock service we’re going to be focusing on our story,” says Minister Robin Jacobson. “We’ll have a special service with music from the past and present, and the future.”

The morning service will be followed by lunch and tea.

In recent weeks, the congregation has been reaching out to

former members, inviting them to join the celebration, mingle with old friends and browse displays of historical photographs and other memorabilia.

In addition to current congregants, Jacobson says he expects up to 70 additional guests to attend the May 26 event who have moved on to other communities, congregations or retirement homes.

When North Lonsdale United celebrated its 75th anniversary, members produced a book called The Church on the Hill, chronicling its evolution. According to the book, the church was born in 1913 inside an empty store on the corner of Lonsdale Avenue and Kings Road. Two years later, volunteers erected a small church building on East Kings Road called Bethel Methodist Church. The name was soon changed to North Lonsdale Methodist Church. It wasn’t until 1925 that the church adopted its current name.

North Lonsdale United eventually outgrew its small space and, in 1950, purchased land at Lonsdale Avenue and Osborne Road. A new building was erected at the end of 1953. But it still wasn’t big enough. So, in 1956, the church purchased the house next door

City seeks consultant for waterfront vision

Branding exercise will focus on business input; cost $75,000 Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

CITY of North Vancouver council is looking to create a “vision” for its central waterfront district.

The collection of waterfront properties under a city lease is an asset that represents “one of the greatest opportunities in North America,” Mayor Darrell Mussatto said, but it remains largely vacant with only general ideas about how to use it in the future.

Council voted Monday night to seek out companies qualified

to lead the city and Lower Lonsdale stakeholders through a branding process, which will help define and market the waterfront in the years to come.

Staff were prepared to spend $75,000 on hiring a firm with experience in helping dozens of North American cities rebrand as part of revitalization projects at the May 6 meeting, but some on council did not feel comfortable hiring a company outright, without putting the job on the open market for bids from other competitors.

There was no disagreement though, that the task is badly needed.

“I think that, as we have heard, a successful community starts with a plan and a plan starts with a brand. It’s critical. It’s the most critical step in moving forward,” said Coun. Linda Buchanan.

“We seem to have somewhat of an idea but it’s very fragmented

and the synergy between the different pieces is not necessarily always there because we are waiting on one piece to fall into place before we can move forward on another.”

Council has discussed a litany of different ways to use the lots at the foot of Lonsdale, including as a new home for the North Vancouver Museum and Archives, Presentation House Gallery, new classroom space for Capilano University, more hotels, cafes, and retail space, concert venues, and a satellite location for the Vancouver Aquarium, but nothing has been set in stone.

City staff recently set up temporary beach volleyball courts on a vacant patch of land on Lot 5 and they are already in use.

The rebranding process will involve some input from community stakeholders but it will focus on the businesses in the area.

“We need that vision. We heard that from the Lower Lonsdale Business Association,” Mussatto said, noting many businesses in the area are still struggling.

“We need a vision to make sure this is economically viable. We need to know how we’re going to market ourselves.”

Provided a consultant is chosen in the next four weeks, the branding process should be complete by September, according to city staff.

BC Hydro is planning to replace wooden power poles in North and West Vancouver over the summer as part of a province-wide maintenance program that will see approximately 10,000 new poles in B.C., according to a release from BC Hydro.

Residents will typically not lose power during the replacements.

If conditions require a power outage, customers will be informed before the lights go out, according to BC Hydro.

Weakened by weather, insects and wildlife, the electricitydelivering wooden poles are inspected frequently and need to be regularly replaced, according to the release. Approximately 180,000 hydro poles in B.C. are about 40 years old and need to be swapped with something newer, according to BC Hydro BC Hydro’s electricity-delivery network includes approximately 56,000 kilometres of distribution line stretched between 900,000 power poles.

People are hungry for spirituality: minister From page 9

for Sunday school classes. That house was later torn down to make way for an expansion. The building, as it stands today, was completed and dedicated on May 15, 1960.

Jacobson has been the minister since 2001.

Since then he says the congregation has remained stable at around 230 to 250 people. About 170 come out on a typical Sunday morning.

The goal of the church going forward, he says, is to remain relevant in a world where Christianity doesn’t have the same place it once did. “In the post-Christendom world, the church is challenged to be relevant, to actually impact

people not only in terms of social work, but also in terms of people’s faith journeys,” Jacobson says. “People are hungry for spirituality and for meaning, but they don’t want to be told what to think and what to believe.”

One way the church endeavours to stay relevant is through its many social outreach programs. It hosts Tuesday night community dinners, supports First United Church on the Downtown Eastside, and runs programs for children and youth, among other things.

“The world has changed,” Jacobson says, “but we try to offer a place that feels safe. It’s a place of healing and being reinvigorated . . . and being able to celebrate what’s right with the world.”

BOUND Lotus Meditation and Yoga Centre teacher Jagdeesh (left) and owner Heather McLeod invite community members to attend their new free monthly Healing Circle Meditations. The next meditation is scheduled for Sunday, May 26 at 7:45 p.m. at the Lower Lonsdale studio.

BOUND LOTUS REACHES OUT TO THE COMMUNITY WITH FREE HEALING CIRCLE MEDITATIONS

Erin McPhee emcphee@nsnews.com

Centre of change

WHEN Heather McLeod’s favourite local yoga studio closed unexpectedly, she was compelled to action.

Passionate about the practice of kundalini meditation and yoga and their positive effects, the North Vancouver woman took matters into her own hands.

McLeod, 49, opened Bound Lotus Meditation and Yoga Centre in Lower Lonsdale 19 months ago. While kundalini is the studio’s signature style of yoga, a variety of other styles are also offered, including hatha, yin and restorative.

Bound Lotus also runs a kundalini mediation program, offering daily 20-minute sessions in 40-day cycles. “Meditation is near and dear to my heart. I started doing kundalini yoga about three years ago and the meditation aspect of a class — you always meditate in a kundalini yoga class for 11 minutes at the end — really resonated with me,” says McLeod.

“You can create a lot of change through meditation, you really can,” she adds.

Believing strongly in the mediation’s transformative power, over the last few months, McLeod has offered a few Healing Circle Meditations here and there to clients and friends struggling with illness either personally or within their family. Based on participants’ positive feedback, as well as out of her interest in getting more

involved in the community, McLeod is beginning to offer free Healing Circle Meditations to interested community members once a month.

“The whole reason that I’m here is to serve, just to serve the community,” she says. “We’re living in stressful times and people need a place to be able to come and take a break from their troubles, refuel, realign themselves, strengthen themselves. Everybody needs this meditation right now, anybody and everybody.”

The next Healing Circle Meditation, led by kundalini teacher Jagdeesh, will be offered Sunday, May 26 at 7:45 p.m. and healing circles will be held on the first Sunday of every month thereafter, starting in June. The 22minute meditations are open to anyone feeling the need for extra healing and support. Info: boundlotus.ca.

West Van stroke survivor a champion for the cause Erin McPhee emcphee@nsnews.com

THOMAS Dignum is among the Lower Mainland residents going to bat for the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation next weekend at a fundraising slo-pitch tournament.

The 12-year-old West Vancouver resident and Grade 6 student at Ridgeview elementary is not only going to have an opportunity to hit the field, the three-day event is giving him and his family an opportunity to share their story as Thomas is the event’s Champion.

“He really is the ideal miracle story,” says Thomas’ mother Tracy. At age six, Thomas, out of nowhere, collapsed at school. Doctors discovered he had suffered a massive stroke in his brain stem. He subsequently underwent a life-saving procedure at B.C. Children’s Hospital that had never been done before on a child at the hospital and was administered a clot-busting drug. His road to recovery was slow, seeing him spend several months in rehabilitation at Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children, however six years later, he’s made a complete recovery in terms of his cognitive and physical abilities.

“So many stars had to align for him to be saved but also for him to be able to walk and talk and everything that he does now,” says Tracy. While Thomas is unable to play contact sports as he did prior to his brain injury to prevent further incident, he leads an incredibly active life, pursuing swimming, and is excited to tackle tomorrow’s North Shore Triathlon for the first time as a youth competitor.

Immensely grateful for Thomas’ health, the Dignums are taking a growing role with the foundation in order to give thanks. This is their first time participating in the Slo-Pitch event, a perfect fit as Thomas played softball in years past.

It’s been interesting to see her son’s reaction to being in the spotlight. “For him to be in some sense

Children’s Hospital Champion. singled out in any capacity, he finds that surprising, but that’s what I love, which is he doesn’t really realize how lucky he is to even be alive, because he was six,” she says. “He knows that his stroke was a major event, he knows that the children’s hospital definitely saved his life. He is thankful on that level.” However, Thomas is “blissfully unaware” of why he would be important enough to be involved in this sort of thing because he considers himself to be a “normal” kid, says Tracy.

The 23rd annual Slo-Pitch for B.C. Children’s Hospital is set for May 24-26 at South Surrey’s Softball City. While 2013 team registration has closed, the public is invited to attend as fans as a host of family-friendly festivities will be offered.

WHEN Natasha Wakaruk takes off from the start in next weekend’s Edinburgh Half Marathon, she expects to find herself reflecting on the journey she’s been on following her diagnosis with type 1 diabetes two years ago.

“It was a pretty big shock and at first it was a major adjustment, just kind of wrapping your mind around the fact that this is going to be forever, but you get used

to it. It’s amazing how you can adapt,” she says. From acceptance to embracing her new reality and endeavouring to lead a healthy lifestyle, Wakaruk, 28, is ready to now give back to others sharing her diagnosis.

The North Vancouver piano teacher and Capilano University music therapy program graduate, as well as a staff member at Villa Carital, is heading to Scotland for the May 26 race as a member of Team Diabetes, the Canadian Diabetes Association’s national activity fundraising program.

Wakaruk has run since her teens and ran one halfmarathon previously, though

this is her first race as a diabetic.

She heard about Team Diabetes on the radio. “It’s been a pretty incredible experience ever since (I signed up). I’m so glad that I did it,” she says. Wakaruk has so far raised close to $8,000, which will support the association’s education and advocacy work, as well as research. “It’s definitely something that I’d like to become more involved in in the future and who knows, this might not be my last race with Team Diabetes,” she says.

Got 15-25 inches to lose over the next few weeks?

What do you get when you combine North America’s Number One Diet program with the world’s only FDA approved laser treatment for circumferential reduction of the waist, hips, and thighs?

A remarkable weight and inch loss program that provides significant results in just a few weeks.

For the past two years the folks at North Vancouver’s Foundation for Integrated Health have refined their body slimming and weight loss treatments called the “ZIP”program which produces results that seems almost too good to be true. But the reports from their clients tell the story.

Mrs. Elliot, a client from North Vancouver, said“I wanted to lose ten pounds. I picked that as a target because I thought, while it would be a stretch, I might be able to do it.” After completing the program she reported“I’ve got my body back and my mind is functioning at a high level. It has been a great experience and I would absolutely recommend it.” And what about those ten pounds?“I ended up losing twenty pounds and started doing more things because I felt so great.”

Another client was Debra, a former aerobics and fitness instructor in her fifties. She was

frustrated that even with her high fitness level and good diet she could not lose her tummy bulge which she attributed to getter older.“That stuff hanging around my waist? It’s not there anymore. I have a flat tummy and surgery wasn’t an option for me. It’s not a replacement for exercise but it takes the fat away from the areas that I just couldn’t change from exercise.”

Jason, a businessman living on the North Shore also saw

...a medically designed program that literally turns the body into a fat burning machine.

great results.“I weighed about 230 pounds and figured I was about 45 pounds overweight.”

After just a few weeks on the ZIP program he said“I couldn’t believe it. I started about 4 weeks ago and after 10 sessions I have already lost 18 pounds.”

Jason was impressed enough to continue his program and aims to lose another 20 pounds.

Four years ago Laser Body Sculpting was first clinic in Western Canada to introduce the Zerona(tm) cold laser,

the only FDA approved laser treatment for circumferential reduction of the waist, hips, and thighs. It’s a simple, painless process that creates temporary openings in the fat cell wall thus allowing the fat to escape which is then naturally excreted out of the body.

Though the Zerona alone provides good results as a standalone treatment, the management wanted to improve the results even more.

Two years ago they introduced the ZIP program which utilizes North American’s number one diet, a medically designed program that literally turns the body into a fat burning machine.

The company believes their ZIP inch and weight loss program is unmatched.

As Dr. Drake explains,“What sets us apart from cosmetic surgeons, various diet

The company believes their ZIP inch and weight loss program is unmatched. centers, and numerous“spa” treatments is that we address the hidden health issues that are preventing efficient

slimming and weight loss. For instance, after the age of 35 a large number of both men and women deal with excessive or deficient hormone levels.

Cortisol and insulin are two of these common hormones which can interfere with fat metabolism. What makes our program unique is that it helps the body reset itself to function in a healthier manner in respect to these hidden issues while losing inches. This is a great advantage for our patients as we are able to provide a lifetime solution to their weight challenges. As we like to say to patients‘this will be your last diet and slimming program.’“

This amazing advancement in weight loss and health is only available right here in your own back yard. You can find the ZIP program at the Foundation for Integrated Health, #200-123 Carrie Cates Court – Lonsdale Quay – this revolutionary treatment is changing people’s lives right now.

A free informational evening will be held on Thursday May 23rd, 7pm at their Lonsdale Quay Office. Please RVSP by calling the Foundation for Integrated Health office at 604-988-7080.

days. Picking faves from my mezcal preview was tough but here are a couple to check out.

■ Sombra mezcal Made from 100 per cent espadin agave, this is a great “starter” mezcal. It’s beautifully clear in the glass and sports an intriguing spicy/fruity profile with roasted tropical and citrus notes. It also serves very well as the base for a refreshing “Mission Bell” cocktail, which balances beautifully those smoky/fruity flavours, as follows:

but clean palate with some hints of spice and clove in the aftertaste.

■ Agave de Cortes Anejo Superbly crafted mezcal that you’ll find very tempting if you’re a single malt lover.

Made in the traditional way, from estate espadin agave, milled with mule-drawn crushers and pit roasted before 18 months in American white oak barrels. Seductive smoky, hints of mocha and caramel on the nose, with intriguing smoky and orange on the palate before a lengthy and warming finish.

••• This is the season (running up to the B.C. Wine Institute’s Chef Meets Grape tasting, June 5) when Okanagan wineries make the trip to Vancouver to showcase their new releases.

One I always make time for is St. Hubertus, whose owner Andy Gebert and agent Raymond Wong like to pour their wines informally, often at a Chinese restaurant.

Aside from the more relaxed setting for a tasting, I like this approach because it gives some of the wines a chance to really shine with food that suits.

On this occasion a mixed group met up at Prince Seafood in east Vancouver for Dim Sum and more. A couple of wines worth tracking down

include: St. Hubertus 2012 Dry Riesling: a honey, apple and citrus toned drop that’s perfect as a summer sipper but also very versatile with food. If you’re not adept at whipping up prawn dumplings enjoy it with grilled chicken salad (89 pts. $16-$19 PWS).

There was a time when Gewurztraminer was one of B.C.’s top selling varieties. An apparently insatiable thirst for Chardonnay changed that but there are still good Gews to be found.

Next time you’re planning something Asian with a little bit of spice, track down St. Hubertus’ Oak Bay 2012 Gew, which sports perfumed, floral aromas, hints of honey and lychee and definite rose petal notes, though not in a cloying way. Perfect with lotus roots, fish sauce cashews and a touch of hot sauce (90 pts. $16-19 PWS).

••• Belly’s Best Stoneboat Pinot Noir 2010 From one of the Okanagan’s most consistent producers and longtime growers, a beautifully balanced estate-grown Pinot, with vibrant cherry-strawberry notes, silky tannins and wellmanaged French oak (from the winery $24.90 or PWS including VQA stores, 92 pts.). info@hiredbelly.com

Songwriting skills explored IF your child has a beat, a riff, a groove, a poem without a melody or a melody without poem locked inside them, they may be able to find the key at West Vancouver songwriting camp.

The camp is led by North Vancouver singer-songwriter Laurel Barker, better known as Laurell, the singer of “Can’t Stop Falling,” who is slated to help aspiring musicians fine-tune their found tunes.

During a 2010 Canadian tour, Laurell decided she wasn’t content to whittle away her time in hotel rooms, so she sought out an opportunity to work with school kids.

“It went from talking about my career to jumping right in and writing songs with these classes right on the spot,” she says.

“I just realized that I had a rapport with kids that really worked for them and kept them engaged and interested.”

Demonstrating some of the basics of songwriting allows children to uncover emotions, according to Laurell. She says it lifts a bit of a window for them to start expressing themselves.

“I just realized that I loved helping kids do that, and helping them say something,” she explains.

Laurell credits her life in music to a series of great teachers from high school and

Capilano University. “They never tried to break my spirit,” she says. “I think that they saw something in me and helped bring it out rather than squash it.”

Learning to write a song is a matter of craft and defiance of conventions.

“It’s kind of like learning a language.

There are specific rules that you apply when you come to write a commercial pop song,” she says. “I teach (students) everything there is to know and how to follow all the rules, but then the goal is to also use their own way of breaking those rules to make the song really their own.”

NEWS photo Mike Wakefield

Laurell says her teaching style puts a greater emphasis on practice than on theory.

Singer-songwriter Laurel Barker (left) works with aspiring musician Nicole Hayashi during a recent songwriters camp at the West Vancouver Community Centre.

“Now I give way more opportunities to break up into groups or into solo time and apply a very small concept that we’ve learned,” she says.

While most children in previous camps have been able to play a musical instrument, Laurell says that isn’t required.

One of the keys to a successful camp is creating a supportive atmosphere and eliminating feelings of fear.

“I’ve really come to understand the value of creating a safe environment with kids where they’re willing to risk in front of each other,” she says, discussing the importance of peer respect. “The last time I taught this camp, by the end of the week the kids were all sharing their ideas whereas on the first day there were a lot of shy faces.”

“I think, realistically, you don’t even have to play an instrument. If somebody is just interested in being a lyricist there’s absolutely room for them,” she says. “What I’ll end up doing is teaming up players with writers, writers with players, and giving lots of different opportunities for the kids who maybe are less skilled to work with the kids who are more skilled.”

Laurell encourages any child with an interest in expressing themselves through song to give the camp a try.

“If they don’t come then they’ll never know. If they do come then I can guarantee they’re going to find out things about songwriting and develop some skills that they otherwise never would have had. Whether or not they fall in love with songwriting is another question.”

The morning camp is for children ages 11-15, and runs from July 8 to 12 at the West Vancouver Community Centre. The cost of the camp is $205.

Keep camp lunches simple and healthy Children registered to attend day camps this summer will need fuel to participate in the many athletic, educational and creative activities on tap.

Many camps do not provide meals, leaving it up to parents to pack their children a hearty and healthy lunch.

During the warm summer months, refrigeration is key for food safety, says Helen Yeung, a community dietitian with Vancouver Coastal Health.

“The motto is keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold,” she says. “In the summer, you generally like to have cooler foods rather than soups and stews.”

North Shore dietitian Helen Yeung packs a healthy lunch for camp.

LUNCHBOX TIPS ■ Kids love to eat what they create. Let your child choose his or her lunch from a healthy list of choices.

Yeung suggests using an ice pack to keep perishables at a food safe temperature. Don’t have an ice pack? Try freezing a juice box or a frozen yogurt tube and packing it next to food items that need to keep cold. Simply placing the entire lunch in the freezer for an hour before heading out the door is another way to keep

it chilled until it’s ready to be eaten. Parents may also want to instruct their kids to consume perishable foods earlier in the day before they have a chance to go bad.

“The high-protein foods are a little more of a food safety concern, so the milk, the dairy, the meat, the meat alternatives, the eggs,” says Yeung. “You might want to suggest that the kids have that for lunch or morning snack.”

A lot of day camps are outdoor-based and, in the summer heat, it’s important to drink plenty of fluids.

“You want to hydrate with water because in the hot weather you generally dehydrate faster,” says Yeung. “Kids are running around and they might not recognize that they’re thirsty and they forget to drink.”

She suggests packing two water bottles, one of which has been frozen overnight. The unfrozen bottle is ready to drink immediately and the frozen one will be thawed, but still cold, by the afternoon.

For an energy-packed snack, Yeung recommends any combination of carbohydrates and fat. Trail mix is a good choice if the camp allows children to bring nuts (some have a no-nuts policy due to allergies).

“If you can, nuts and seeds are a nonperishable, they’re high in nutrients, high in calories and the good oils and proteins. And they’re compact,” says Yeung.

Vegetables accompanied by a protein-rich dip, such as hummus or tzatziki, is another healthy snack option. Summer may also be a good time to introduce kids to new foods. A chick pea salad tossed with pasta, green peppers and dressing is an exciting departure from the school-year sandwich.

High water content foods, such as fruits and veggies, keep kids hydrated while fuelling them with carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins and minerals.

“Fruits and vegetables do contribute to their water needs, but at the same time they should have extra water to drink,” adds Yeung.

“If you don’t tell them it’s healthy for them or good for them, they’ll eat it because it looks good and they’re hungry,” says Yeung.

– CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

■ Keep it simple and easy to eat but healthy and tasty.

■ On a cold day, pack a small container of soup, pasta, or another hot item.

■ Try to include foods from each of the four food groups in Canada’s Food Guide (vegetables and fruit, grain products, milk and alternatives, and meat and alternatives).

■ A child’s taste seems to change often. Try new things and do not be afraid to try them again. It can take many exposures to new foods before children Source: Vancouver Coastal Health learn to like them.

Homesickness

KIDS

BiZ

TIPS FOR PARENTS ■ Talk with kids about the upcoming separation, tell them it’s normal to feel homesick.

Classic camp songs endure “Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh. Here I am, at Camp Granada.”

Just writing out the words puts this 1963 Grammy-award winning jingle back in my brain.

I’m told most folks know about this famous camp song, which makes me feel bad, so let’s pretend I’m not sheltered and am fully qualified to write about this tune that dates back 50 years. “Camp Granada” was inspired by the son of writer and co-creator Allan Sherman.

It stayed famous for years, even going so far as allowing Sherman to appear on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson to perform the song, which is kind of a big deal. While this song has survived five decades and continues to be taught to this day, it got me thinking of songs I actually learned when I was at my family’s cabin in the small town of St. Mary’s, Montana.

I have fond memories of sitting around the fire pit and, being the youngest at the time, trying to annoy my older sister as much as possible.

This was an easy feat, especially since all I had Scan this picture with the Layar app to listen to the original version of the song “Camp Granada,” by Allan Sherman.

to do was start singing the massively popular “Kumbaya” or the infinitely hilarious (to an eight-year-old) time-waster “The Song That Never Ends.”

Both songs I learned around a campfire from my father and brother, who themselves were taught from someone else around another campfire. It almost feels like camp songs are the last surviving form of ancient storytelling (before the written word, that is), in which stories and historical accounts are passed on through generations of storytellers around a fire pit.

There’s an itch in all of us (admit it) when sitting around a fire pit to either tell stories or sing a song. There’s something innate, prodding at our minds to deliver something, anything over the night’s flame.

Even in this modern age I still feel a desire to go out camping, and there’s something to be said about camp songs. They have lasted through the times and evoke a sense of camaraderie among those who learned them. It’s a shared experience, which can be experienced again and again, together.

■ Involve kids in the decision to spend time away from home.

■ Send kids on a “practice” trip, such as few days at a friend’s or relative’s house.

■ Have kids practice writing letters before leaving.

■ If possible, help kids meet at least one person (adult or child) from the new setting before leaving.

■ Encourage kids to make friends and seek support from trusted adults when they’re gone.

■ Be enthusiastic and optimistic about your child’s experience. Nix negativity. Don’t say things like, “I hope you’ll be OK.” ■ Give kids prestamped, preaddressed envelopes and notebook paper when they leave.

TIPS FOR KIDS ■ Do something fun, like playing with friends.

■ Do something to feel closer to home, like writing a letter home.

■ Go see someone who can talk with you to help you feel better.

■ Think about the positive things about camp, such as activities and friends.

■ Think that the time away is short.

■ Don’t dwell on home.

■ Think about what a loved one would say to make you feel better.

■ What about calling home?

■ During short separations, old-fashioned letters may be the best way to maintain contact with home. Writing letters tends to be less emotional and requires more personal reflection than calling home.

Training teaches fundamentals and fun the year, including spring and summer training camps.

SIERRA CORDINGLEY and MONICA GREGORY Contributing writers

Due to the relatively short season of Junior Spring League field hockey, Gibson reasoned that many players do not have opportunities to play, practise and develop their skills throughout the other times of the year. These camps were designed to enable players to refresh basic skills, learn new skills and have fun with a range of qualified and experienced field hockey players.

The sun shines upon Rutledge Field as clumps of kids gather around with their sticks and mouthguards to play and practise the game of field hockey.

The West Vancouver Field Hockey Club unites children of all skill levels to help them create lifelong experiences and memories through leagues and camps. This is where Andrea Gibson is key. Without her, these programs would not be what they are today.

Avery Outerbridge, Kiera van den Berg, and Madison Hotte.

It all started when she was seven years old and playing field hockey in Northern Ireland. From that point on, Gibson’s love of field hockey grew, and she inspired others’ passion for the game to grow as well.

“Players are introduced to principles in teamwork, fair play and co-operation through participation,” explains Gibson.

Many of the coaches in these spring and summer camps include players from Canadian and American universities, national teams and teenage players who just want to help out.

She is now the head coach of West Vancouver’s Field Hockey Club, which is home to more than 2,500 athletes across the North Shore who take part in various leagues and activities through

Gibson strives to intertwine fun and learning in these spring and summer camps to teach fundamental skills of field hockey through amusing games and drills. Through the camps the opportunity to meet new people and create lifelong friendships arises.

“Field hockey is a game for all ages and you are never too old to start playing,” says Gibson.

Spring and summer field hockey camps allow children to get active and have fun playing a sport in a supportive environment.

Gibson says her goal is “to ensure that each child leaves with a lifelong love of sports.”

Smores are a popular camping treat. Wikipedia notes a recipe for the dessert appears in a Girl Scout publication as far back as 1927, and it is referred to as “Some Mores.” It is believed by some that the name Smores is a contraction of “some more.”

Regardless of how and when the recipe and name came about, this sticky snack is definitely a treat, and is best made and shared around a campfire.

INGREDIENTS 20 ounces bittersweet or milk chocolate bars, broken into two-ounce pieces

Place a piece of chocolate on each of 10 graham crackers and set aside.

Press each marshmallow onto the tip of a skewer. Cook marshmallows, turning occasionally, until toasted to desired doneness.

Expert Dental Care For Kids Your child’s health is one of your most important priorities. From diet and exercise to medical and dental care, it’s important that they have access to the best materials and expertise.

For ten years, Dr. Gerry Pochynok (known as Dr. Gerry) and the team at North Vancouver’s Pacific Pediatric Dental Centre have been working with North Shore families to make sure their youngsters get the best dental care available in a relaxed and nurturing environment.

The centre’s patient-oriented atmosphere and level of expert treatment are the result of the best training available and a lot of hard work.

“After completing a four year dentistry degree program, an additional 2 or 3 years of training are required to become a pediatric dentist,” says Dr. Gerry.“The specialized program of study and hands-on experience prepares pediatric dentists to meet the needs of infants, children and adolescents, including persons with special health needs. I worked in general dentistry for 6 years and realized that working with children was a very rewarding part of dentistry.”

For Dr. Gerry, the extra training was a big commitment.

“I completed a one year residency at the BC Children’s Hospital.

Following the residency I moved to Rochester, New York to start a two year pediatric dentistry specialization at the Eastman School of Medicine & Dentistry. I returned to British

“Our goal is to establish a safe, happy‘dental home’for children in which we implement preventive dental health habits as well as early detection and treatment of diseases. I designed my office unlike that of conventional dental offices to make children feel comfortable so that they feel good about visiting the dentist and take pride in caring for their teeth.”

Having early positive experiences creates a positive attitude to dental care.

PART THREE

This is the third part of a four-part original camp story. The story concludes with part 4 in the June 2 issue of Kids Biz.

In the last chapter our four heroes left Camp Winnatuka in the middle of the night to look for evil seaweed, leaping sea bass, and the biggest jellyfish anyone has ever seen. We’re halfway through our story, dear reader. Will Tabitha, Rufus, Fres and Henry find what they’re looking for? On to part three.

We were in the red canoe, searching for the monsters on the other side of Lake Anatoga at midnight. A black cloud passed in front of the moon and the night was darker than I’d ever seen it. We’d been in the water for about 10 minutes when Rufus started shouting.

“I don’t have to go to school,” she mumbled, her eyes still closed. “It’s summer holidays.”

“You were asleep!” Rufus gasped.

He sounded angrier about Tabitha falling asleep than he had about the monsters trying to eat him.

I was about to yell at Tabitha to wake up when Fres gripped her paddle and smashed the tiny green monster who had been attacking Rufus. She whacked it once. It moved and made a crinkling sound. She whacked it three more times. The thing stopped moving.

“The monsters have got me! The monsters have got me!”

The canoe stopped rocking and the only sound we could hear was Fres breathing deeply as we all moved away from the dead monster.

“Run for your life!” I yelled.

“We’re in a canoe, you dolt!”

Rufus hollered.

Fres and I had been paddling while Tabitha navigated and Rufus took a rest on the canoe floor. He was lying down when he noticed something green on his chest and started caterwauling.

“It’s trying to eat me!” he shrieked.

Tabitha snapped to her feet and the canoe rocked back and forth. Black water slapped against the side of my face and for a second I thought the monsters had me too.

“Sit down!” somebody yelled at Tabitha, but she couldn’t seem to hear.

“Is that-” The monster made a crinkling sound again.

“This is too dangerous,” Rufus said. “There’s monsters everywhere.”

Tabitha dropped her head. She was wide awake now. “I’m sorry. I just. . .”

She looked small and scared and sad.

I gripped my paddle tight and leaned over the monster.

“I’m not positive,” I interrupted, picking up the monster and dropping him again. “But I think that’s broccoli.”

A light breeze blew ripples over the lake. The black cloud fell away from the moon and a ray of light beamed on our canoe.

Tabitha’s eyes got bigger and bigger and her teeth shone in the moonlight.

“Broccoli?” she asked.

Mashed broccoli,” Fres confirmed.

“Who brought broccoli?”

“Cassandra gave it to me,” Fres explained. “She thought I looked hungry.”

Tabitha threw her head back and laughed.

“I don’t see what’s so funny,” Rufus said.

I patted him on the shoulder.

“We just killed a broccoli monster, buddy,” Tabitha howled.

“What do you mean we?” Rufus shot. “You were asleep.”

We all laughed a little bit, and the canoe kept drifting.

“We’re almost there,” Tabitha said, leaning over the bow of the canoe.

“What kind of monsters did you say they were?” Fres asked.

“Leaping sea bass. Great big nasty jellyfish,” Tabitha told her.

“Wait, wasn’t there one more?” I asked.

Fres and I looked at each other and paddled very slowly.

Nobody was laughing anymore.

“There!” Tabitha pointed.

We followed her finger. A layer of mist hung just a few feet in front of us like a grey curtain.

There were no sounds except our paddles dipping into the water and the waves lapping up against the canoe. We went into the mist.

Fres was in front of me and I could barely see her. I couldn’t see Tabitha at all.

I put my fingers into the water. It was cold.

Colder than it had been on the other side of the mist.

Tabitha had said there were three monsters.

Sea bass, jelly fish, and something else. I felt something in the water, something wrapping around my wrist, pulling me. It felt a lot like. . .

It all started with Nippy and Buster The Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre has rescued animals for over 50 years.

In 1960, a small northern fur seal was brought to the Vancouver Aquarium after a harrowing experience. A fisher had accidentally caught him with his rod while fishing for salmon.

The tiny creature, later known as Nippy, was the Aquarium’s first rescue patient.

Dedicated Aquarium staff carefully removed the fishing gear from his little body and nursed him back to health.

Two years later, Aquarium staff brought an orphaned harbour seal to the facility. Buster, as he was called, was malnourished and desperately in need of a helping hand. Staff fed and treated the small pup until he was healthy and chubby.

“The work was, and still is, so intensely gratifying,” says Lindsaye Akhurst, manager of the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre. “When I began working for the Aquarium, I was so thrilled to help animals every day—many of whom were in danger because of human actions. But for staff at the Aquarium, it was becoming increasingly challenging to treat sick, “Our goal is to keep injured and orphaned improving what we do, marine mammals to be actively involved without a proper in research programs, facility.”

NEWS photo Mike Wakefield

and to share what we know with as many people as possible.”

Nippy and Buster remained at the Aquarium for many years. The two even spent time together in the same habitat. During this time, the team was able to learn how to best care for and rehabilitate marine mammals.

Murray Newman, one of the founding directors of the Vancouver Aquarium, recalls the learning curve that was involved with caring for wild animals.

“Baby harbour seals were brought to us occasionally in the early days, but we had great difficulty feeding them because we didn’t realize they could not digest cow’s milk. My wife, Kathy, helped to get them started on a liquid diet. They snapped with their sharp little teeth, and one particularly energetic little fellow left a permanent scar on her elbow.”

In the years that followed, Aquarium staff cared for a number of rescued marine mammals. When there wasn’t room, staff often created make-shift habitats for the injured or sick animals that were rescued and rehabilitated at the Aquarium. Occasionally, patients with special needs were even taken home by Aquarium’s staff for extra, intensive care.

Despite not having a formal rescue centre, the team’s commitment to animal welfare was always apparent. Staff and volunteers brought animals to the Aquarium for treatment or travelled to locations where animals were stranded. No patient was too small or too big and, when tragedy struck, staff and volunteers were always ready to pitch in.

In 1989, staff at the Aquarium rescued and cleaned a number of sea otters covered in oil after the Exxon Valdez disaster off

the southern coast of Alaska. In 2002, the Aquarium also played a key role in the rescue of Springer, a one-year-old killer whale who was found in Puget Sound (near Seattle), orphaned and hundreds of miles from her pod. She was rescued, restored to health, transported back to British Columbia’s Johnstone Strait, her pod’s summering grounds, and released to rejoin her family.

In 2004, the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre was created. Located on land provided by the Vancouver Port Authority, the new facility gives staff and volunteers the space needed to manage their ever-increasing patient load.

Ancient explorers Cove Cliff elementary students Alanah Dulong (left), Marley Harmon and Molly Jordan display a model of an aquaduct, which was part of a multimedia project they created about ancient Rome. The project was included in the school’s recent Learning Fair, which focused on inquiry and project-based learning.

The Rescue Centre is perhaps best known for rescuing harbour seal pups who garner much public attention with their cute faces and human-like cries, but over the past 50 years, the Aquarium has rescued a variety of animals. Patients at the Rescue Centre have included elephant seals, fur seals, sea otters, sea lions, and cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) and thousands of harbour seal pups.

Today, the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre provides world-class veterinary care to its patients. A highlyqualified medical team performs complicated medical procedures with cutting-edge diagnostic tools. The reputation of the facility has grown tremendously and attracts biology and veterinary students from around the world.

“Our goal is to keep improving what we do, to be actively involved in research programs, and to share what we know with as many people as possible,” says Dr. Martin Haulena, staff veterinarian at the Vancouver Aquarium.

“Our ultimate goal is to better understand the threats faced by marine mammal species and the environment that we so closely share.”

Operating largely on donations and the tireless efforts of staff and volunteers, the Aquarium’s Rescue Centre continues to assist and rescue over 150 animals every year with the goal of returning them to their natural habitat. It is the only rescue hospital of its kind in Canada. ■

LEYA Eguchi (left), Nanette Taylor and Andrea Kiesser are excited to be able to help more seniors thanks to Hollyburn Family Services being named the beneficiary of next week’s North Shore Mayors’ Golf Tournament.

Staff at Hollyburn Family Services, a North Shore-based agency that provides a host of counselling, support services and other programs to children, youth, seniors and families, were grateful to be named by tournament organizers as the 2013 beneficiary.

Their new project, Supporting Seniors to Remain Housed, will be launched next month and will fill an important need on the North Shore, says Leya Eguchi, co-ordinator of seniors programs at Hollyburn Family Services.

“Currently we offer emergency outreach services, which means it’s only responding to seniors that actually have eviction notices in their hands basically,” she says. “We saw a huge need for more broad-based support but we didn’t have the capacity to provide that.”

Hollyburn gets calls all the time from vulnerable seniors.

Eguchi estimates they receive as many as 20 calls per day from local residents who are at risk in some way. Through Supporting Seniors to Remain Housed, they’ll now be able to assist those seniors, by working to connect them with supportive services they may have been unaware of, advocate on their behalf if required and help isolated seniors reconnect with their community as a whole.

“Often for seniors, if they’re not managing well, it’s either due to not accessing all of the programs available to them,” says Eguchi. For example, seniors in need may be unaware that they’re eligible for B.C. Housing’s Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER) program or the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement for low-income seniors.

Hollyburn staff will offer hands-on help to ensure seniors’ needs are met.

“We’re full service, which means whatever the client needs, we will try and connect them to it. We’ll go the extra step to make sure that connection is made. If it means accompanying someone to go to an office in order to ensure the connection is made, we’ll do that,” says Eguchi.

“It could be as simple as filling in a couple of applications. The other scenario is that where they live is too expensive and we will help them fill in applications and try and advocate for them to get into social housing. Again, it depends on the level of need and risk and how much we can advocate to change that situation,” she adds.

Eguchi is grateful for the support of the tournament organizers in making Hollyburn’s increased level of service delivery a possibility.

“Thank you for recognizing the need,” she says. “Thank you for understanding that seniors are part of the community and need that support sometimes. I think it’s a great way to make the community more welcoming and inclusive of seniors.”

Spots are still available in next week’s tournament, the sixth annual, being held Friday, May 24 at North Vancouver’s Seymour Golf and Country Club. The tournament gets underway at noon and is followed by a dinner and auction.

The first $50,000 raised at this year’s event will go to Hollyburn Family Services. Additional funds will be shared by the North Shore Community Foundation and the West Vancouver Community Foundation, both of which manage the tournament with the support of volunteers.

In the last five years, the tournament, endorsed by the three North Shore mayors, District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton, District of West Vancouver Mayor Michael Smith and City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto, has raised $600,000 in support of local community-based initiatives.

Last year’s tournament supported the North Shore Women’s Centre’s new Complementary Health and Wellness Clinic.

Lynn Valley woman’s vision a guiding force

AFTER 18 years, says Doreen Wakefield, “I’ve almost arrived at my dream garden.

“There were only three houses on our street when we moved here in 1963,” remembers Doreen. “It was all bush, unpaved roads and no such thing as a driveway. There were deer on the street. It was lovely.”

The transformation of a backyard patch of grass and swing sets dominated by an enormous cedar began when Doreen retired. The cedar had always been there. Wally simply designed the house around it.

“He still cuts away the deck to make room as the tree grows,” says Doreen. “Ours was the only one-storey house so we planted more cedars for privacy. That’s where we

Laura Anderson disagree. I’d like more sun but Wally loves trees. He came from cement city. It was all pavement at his house.”

The cedars determined the garden would be shady, mainly hostas and ferns, with plants in pots here and there for colour.

hidden away on a quiet Lynn Valley neighbourhood evolved over time through the creative partnership of Doreen and her husband, Wally.

It works like this: Doreen will imagine a feature, a simple bench, for example. Wally will design and build a comfortable sitting area, adding an arbour where more plants can grow.

“We do everything together,” says Doreen, “but I don’t want to sound too rosy.

It’s been war and peace.”

Wally and Doreen were in their teens when they met at a youth club in their hometown of Fleetwood, a fishing port near Blackpool. Doreen remembers a paved backyard was typical of British housing back then. “We didn’t have a refrigerator. We stored food on a concrete slab in the pantry.

We did have an outhouse.”

She got her first job with the delivery of a telegram. “The telegram scared everyone but it was only a message to call the post office.” Doreen made the call from a phone booth, “the first time in my life I’d been on the phone.” For the rest of her career, Doreen worked on telephones, beginning with the Fleetwood post office switchboard, receiving incoming calls through Bakelite earpieces known as “horns” and putting them through on a “cord board.”

Doreen and Wally married in 1955 and moved to Canada in 1957. “If we didn’t like it, we would work our way back home. We chose Vancouver because it was the furthest point in the country and we loved it right away.”

Wally worked for a painting company until he started his own business and Doreen

Is Doreen’s dream garden just that, a dream? Doreen has planted a clematis to twine up the trellis Wally has just repaired. What’s next? Every garden has room for another plant or a bit of building. It’s a matter of balance and flexibility.

A successful marriage is also based on those qualities, an achievement Doreen and Wally can celebrate in July at their 58th wedding anniversary.

Recognize the signs of canine heat stroke Canine Connection Joan Klucha

LAST week I wrote about the effect of hot weather on your dog.

Dogs have a very inefficient cooling system compared to humans. They cool themselves by panting, or drawing air into their lungs to bring down their body temperature. But when the air temperature is as warm as, or warmer than their body temperature, that cooling system becomes dangerously inefficient, leaving the dog susceptible to heat exhaustion, or worse, heat stroke.

Heat exhaustion occurs when the body is not able to maintain normal functions due to an excessive loss of body fluids and salt. Dogs salivate profusely when they pant as they try to cool themselves

and that salivating can lead to dehydration if the fluids are not replaced. Dehydration can then lead to heat exhaustion.

Symptoms of heat exhaustion include: repeatedly rolling in an attempt to cool down; a bright red, thick tongue shaped like a wide spoon at the end; intense thirst; loss of coordination; nausea; and a weak but rapid pulse.

When you see this, offer your dog fresh cool — not ice cold — water. Ice cold water might shock the dog’s stomach and cause it to bloat and twist, another serious problem altogether. Get the dog to a cool area in the shade or an air-conditioned environment. You want to cool down the dog as soon as possible to prevent it from getting heat stroke.

Then take it to a veterinarian immediately for further treatment.

Dogs can go from heat exhaustion to heat stroke very quickly. Heat stroke is extremely serious and can lead to coma and death rapidly if it is not recognized and treated ASAP. It begins with heavy, almost uncontrollable, panting and difficulty breathing.

The tongue and mucous membranes appear bright red and the tongue will be

hanging from the side of a dog’s mouth. The saliva is thick, sticky and there is a lot of it, and the dog often vomits.

The dog’s normal temperature of 38-39.2 C rises to 40-43.3 C. The dog becomes progressively weak and unsteady and may pass bloody diarrhea. As shock sets in, the lips and mucous membranes turn grey, the dog will collapse, seizures, coma, and death rapidly follow.

Get to a veterinarian immediately! While on the way to the vet, emergency measures to cool the dog must begin at once. Move the dog out of the heat, preferably into air-conditioning, so it can draw cool air into its body.

Begin dousing the dog with cool water and wrapping it in cool, wet towels, focusing on its groin and stomach area, because those areas typically have less fur and therefore cool faster. If the dog wants to drink, offer it water in small amounts. It may vomit the water back up if it is allowed copious amounts all at once.

A dog with heat stroke may be affected by laryngeal edema, which is basically swelling within the throat.

This can obviously worsen the breathing problem and may require an emergency tracheostomy to prevent

A Recreational Bike Challenge Supporting NS Rescue & Rotary Projects

respiratory distress.

As you can imagine, being a hot dog is not a pleasant experience. So be mindful

of your dog’s comfort this summer and do not leave your dog in your vehicle. It is a recipe for disaster.

Seyhawks take their turn Seycove to defend B.C. title after tough win over Windsor

Crofts runs down two titles in one 30 minute stretch

Andy Prest aprest@nsnews.com

SHORTLY before the start of their win-orgo-home playoff match against the Windsor Dukes Wednesday afternoon, some of the younger members of the Seycove Seyhawks senior girls soccer team were expressing some trepidation to their cocoach, Carl Saunders.

WEST Vancouver’s Helen Crofts added two more track and field titles to her stellar Simon Fraser University resumé, winning both the 400-metre and 1,500metre races at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Championships Saturday in Monmouth, Ore.

The Seyhawks, defending provincial champions, had beaten the Dukes during a preseason exhibition game but lost in a shootout the only time the two teams played during the regular season.

That result gave Windsor first place in the league and the right to host Wednesday’s big game — the winners would earn a berth in the provincial AA championships while the losers would need to find a new hobby for the next few weeks.

“I hate playing Windsor, it’s so hard,” the girls were saying to Saunders. The coach, however, was far more confident thanks to a little creative math. The teams were NEWS photos Paul McGrath so tight, he reasoned, that they were bound to alternate SEYCOVE’S Brittany Southam lines up a blast that would find the back of the net wins and losses. With Windsor in her team’s 2-1 win over Windsor on Wednesday. Southam also set up Seycove’s winning the last regular other goal as the Seyhawks earned a berth in the provincial championships. season meeting, it surely was Seycove’s turn.

“I told them don’t worry, it always alternates,” he said with a laugh. “They win, we win, they win, we win.”

It turns out, the coach was right.

The Seyhawks and Dukes both put in strong performances Wednesday but it was the kids from Seycove who kept the win rotation intact, earning a 2-1 victory to make it back to the provincial championships.

The Seyhawks took control of the game 20 minutes in when powerful Grade 11 winger Brittany Southam blasted in a shot from well outside the box. It was a welcome sight for Seycove’s other cocoach, Sam Stackhouse.

“She has a rocket of a shot and we’ve been trying to get her to shoot from outside all season,” said Stackhouse. “The whole first half (whenever) she got the ball at the top of the 18 we were screaming at her (to shoot). Finally she just launched one from probably 25 yards out and it went in, top corner.”

The tide turned, however, early in SEYCOVE’S Karly Butterfield (left) stays cool while under pressure from the second half when Seycove’s standout Windsor’s Eve Mort in Wednesday’s elimination game at Windsor. defender Alex Glass got tangled with Windsor striker Eve Mort who was chances to spring into the lead but Stackhouse. “From where I stand we just tried to get the girls to calm down and making a solo run down the right side. A couldn’t find the back of the net.

“I was a bit worried for the first few gain their composure back and just play penalty shot was awarded and Windsor’s Pauline McCordic buried the ball inside minutes after (the equalizer) because their game. We always play best when we the left post to tie the game. The Dukes Windsor did push really hard but we then upped the pressure and had several pulled it together, pushed back,” said See Defending page 40

The senior runner began the day with a dominant performance in the 1,500-m final, leading wire-to-wire to win in a time of 4:26.85. Silver went to another North Shore star as Crofts’s SFU teammate Lindsey Butterworth of North Vancouver finished second in a time of 4:27.22. The times put up by both runners earned them provisional qualification for the NCAA Div. 2 championships.

Crofts, however, was far from finished for the day. Just 26 minutes after winning the 1,500 m she was back on the track and in the starting blocks for the 400-m final. If she was tired it certainly didn’t show in her time as she raced to gold in a new GNAC championship record of 54.46.

“Itwasmentallychallenging coming back from the 1,500 to the 400 when they were so close together, but I felt strong and confident which definitely paid off,” Crofts said in an SFU release.

With two GNAC golds around her neck Crofts’s day still wasn’t quite done as she took part in the final event of the meet, the 4x400-m relay, and helped SFU to a silvermedal showing behind Seattle Pacific University.

Crofts and the rest of the SFU qualifiers will now set their sights on the NCAA Div. 2 outdoor championships scheduled for May 23-25 in Pueblo, Colo. While the West Vancouver secondary grad did double duty at 400 and 1,500 m at the GNAC championships, she will split the difference between the two distances at the NCAA championships and focus on her specialty, the 800-m race. In March Crofts won the 800-m race at the 2013 NCAA Div. 2 indoor national championships, becoming the second ever SFU student to claim an NCAA title.

Defending champs will have targets on their backs

on to take the win. “They did everything that they were supposed to do. We have a couple of younger girls who have been totally stepping up and taking on leadership roles in the back.

Everything just came together.”

Relieved that his alternating wins theory played out correctly, Saunders still tipped his hat to the Dukes who gave Seycove all they could handle.

“Credit to Windsor — there’s a lot of good skill on that side,” he said. “The rivalry goes on.”

The rivalry, however, will have to wait for next year to continue. With the powerful North Shore/Burnaby zone only getting one provincial berth, only the Seyhawks will be playing in the B.C. championships starting May 30 in Courtenay. The team will be Up to $10,000 in Cash Savings counting on big performances again from the likes of Milham, Guaranteed Southam, Glass, Grade 12 captain Amanda Pasternak, forward Kristen Louie and fullback Karly Butterfield, said Stackhouse.

Record numbers ready to tri it out Monday

NEARLY all of the spots on the starting line for Monday’s North Shore Triathlon have been sold out for more than a month and now all that’s left is for the racers to dive in and start swimming.

The action will begin holiday Monday morning bright and early at Ron Andrews recreation centre with Kids of Steel races starting at 7:30 a.m., adult races kicking off at 8 a.m. and elite racers hitting the pool shortly after 11 a.m.

More than 600 total racers will take part, according to event organizers, including 250 kids.

“It’s a record-breaking year in terms of total participation and certainly a record-breaking year for the number of kids participating as well,” said North Shore Triathlon Club president Nick Lyne.

“It’s tremendous to see this level of involvement, particularly from the kids.”

The event will feature a new test race this season, a youth Super Sprint. More than 20 elite athletes ranging in age from 14 to 20 will race the Super Sprint, the first of its kind in British Columbia.

The new short distance race is meant to act as a development ground for future international competitors and this season will be used as part of the qualification series for the Canada Summer Games.

Other features of this year’s race will be on-site food carts as well as the Destination Kids Zone running from 9 a.m. to noon featuring a magician and balloon artist.

Spectators are invited to come out and watch the action — racers swim in the rec centre pool, bike a loop on Mount Seymour Parkway between Emerson Way and Mt. Seymour Road and run along Mount Seymour Parkway and surrounding streets and trails.

The Parkway’s two south-side lanes will be closed to traffic until noon to accommodate the race, reducing the flow of traffic to single lanes in both directions on the north side of the parkway.

KERN - Teresa (Terry) 1936-2013

In Memory of MAY DENNIS In loving memory of my dear wife, May Dennis. Who passed away six years ago. Sadly missed every day by her husband Lorne.

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want, He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, He leadeth me beside the still waters, He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness, for His name’s sake, Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me, Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me, Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies, Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over, Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the Lord, forever.

REA, Kay (Kathleen Lillian) (Nee: Smart)

It is with great sadness that we announce Kay’s passing after a long fight with cancer. She was predeceased by her parents Colin and Kathy Smart and brother-in-law Don Hunter.

She will be greatly missed by her loving husband David (42 years), daughter Jessica Richardson (Michael), sisters Barbara Hunter and Lisa Madill (Craig), two lovely granddaughters Emma and Katie and nephews Daniel Hunter, Colin and Chris Madill.

Kay was known for her insight, quick smile, infectious sense of humour, artistic ability and caring, generous nature. She was a dedicated BC Tel Manager (facilities) for 31 years, a passionate artist, published writer and member of the North Shore Writer’s Association, West Coast Calligraphy Society and a former member of the Silk Purse.

A special thanks to Dr. Paul Sugar and Vancouver Coastal Health staff for their sensitive, compassionate support. In lieu of flowers, donations to the BC Lung Association would be appreciated.

REID, Myrna Elizabeth

passed away on May 11, 2013.

Myrna was born in Kenville Manitoba on October 8, 1939.

Myrna is survived by her husband Alfred Reid, her two children Margo (Murray) and Paul (Sheila) along with her grandchildren Rob, Riley, Lindsay, Macie, and Paige. She received her teaching degree from Brandon College. Shortly thereafter she found that teaching didn’t appeal to her sense of reimbursement based on her hard work. She decided a real estate career was a better choice. Starting her real estate career in Winnipeg and moving to West Vancouver in 1970 Myrna eventually founded her own real estate company, Joy Realty. She continued to be a successful realtor on the North Shore of Vancouver until her retirement in 1999. Myrna and Al lacked the desire to rust further in West Vancouver, which took them to winter in Ajijic Mexico.

Myrna loved everything about her home, friends, dogs, Bridge playing, and socializing in Ajijic.

Myrna eventually lost her 2 year battle with Cancer on May 11, 2013. A celebration of Myrna’s life will be held in the near future in Vancouver. Contact/email Paul Chapman at paul2@shaw.ca for details.

RUSH - Barrie Donald

Oct. 3rd, 1956 – May 8th, 2013 Barrie passed away peacefully on May 8th, 2013 at Lions Gate General Hospital after a long and courageous battle with Ocular Melanoma. He is survived by his loving wife Lisa, son James and daughter Emma; brothers Keith (Ellen), Graham (Suzanne), Peter (Cheryl); brother-in-law Brett (Janis) Crosby-Jones, father-inlaw Phillip Crosby-Jones; nieces Carolyn, Kelsey, Monica, Sarah, Andrea and nephews Kevin, Trevor, Ryan and Liam. We are all so very sad and will miss Barrie dearly. Barrie was the third of four sons of Les and Marjorie, who grew up in logging camps and small towns on the BC Coast. He graduated high school in 1976 from Howe Sound Secondary School in Squamish. From an early age Barrie was fascinated with emergency situations and emergency response. He joined the Squamish volunteer fire department when he was 17 and then the BC Ambulance Service in 1980. It was with the BCAS that Barrie had a long and distinguished career as an Advanced Life Support Paramedic, where he was Acting Unit Chief at Station 261 in Downtown Vancouver. He was a gentle soul, who was always cool under pressure and his kind and compassionate ways were felt by many patients. Naturally, Barrie was the family’s resident medical expert. Barrie was passionate about golf, especially with his son and brothers. He loved to cruise and travel with his family and enjoyed sailing/boating with his friends. He was an avid Lions and Canucks fan. Barrie loved to cook, particularly with his BBQ and his smoker. He would spend hours researching recipes and then invite friends and family to enjoy the spoils of his work. A service will be held at St. Christopher’s Anglican Church at 1068 Inglewood Avenue in West Vancouver, BC at 2:00 PM on Thursday May 23rd, followed by a light tea at the church. A Celebration of Life in association with the BCAS will be held at the West Vancouver Legion at 580 18th Street following the church proceedings. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Melanoma Foundation would be greatly appreciated.
