Fish-hook meat trap snares dog Cruel bait set up in woods below Grouse Mountain Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

A morning walk turned ugly for a labradoodle on Thursday after the dog’s mouth and paw were snared on fishing hooks that had been threaded through a chunk of bait.

Professional dogwalker Hallie Mitchell was leading six dogs on a trek between the Grouse Grind parking lot and Skyline Drive when Kelly, a two-year-old labradoodle, strayed from the pack to bite into one of approximately five beef kidneys lying on the ground.

Approximately eight hooks joined by wire were looped through the beef. The wire was attached to a rope that had been covered in duct tape and strapped around a tree.

Kelly immediately jerked backwards after two hooks became embedded in the animal.

“I was able to cry out for help to Powerline (trail) and two women scrambled up the hill to help me,” Mitchell said.

Alix Dunham was on the trail when she heard Mithcell’s voice.

“Just walking a dog on the Powerline (Trail) and heard a girl screaming for help in the woods, which is chilling in itself,” Dunham said.

Dunham and neighbour Kathy Palfy each headed to the woods to help while Mitchell cradled Kelly.

“My main concern was restraining Kelly so that he wasn’t jerking the hooks farther into his mouth, so I basically had one arm under his neck holding his head toward the hooks and my other under his belly,” she said. “All I could really do was a keep an eye on my other dogs and call for help.”

Industrial redemption

NOW that the full bloom of spring has come to Maplewood, the cottonwood trees next to the old barge channel shimmer with a fresh veil of green.

A crow hops on a branch just off the trail, giving anyone who passes the eye. Most of the greenwinged teal and widgeon have already gone north for the summer. But the swallows and the warblers are back.

A class of Allan Orr’s Eldercollege students from Capilano University stand leaning their heads back, staring up to the sky above the highest trees. The purple martins, which spend their winters in the Amazon rainforest, have recently returned.

Kevin Bell, a North Vancouver naturalist and veteran birdwatcher who is leading the walk today, listens for the martins’ song. “They chortle. In a musical sort of way,” he says.

Thundery weather when warm air is forced down is a good time to try to spot them here, he says. “You‘ll get a lot of ospreys and martins near the ponds’ surface.”

Purple martins — birds once heading for extinction on the B.C. coast as their nesting habitat was wiped out — are one of the celebrated success stories of Maplewood.

When the first campaigns to save the birds were started in the late 1980s and early 1990s, volunteers from Maplewood built several hundred nest boxes and put them up on posts and pilings in the inlet. Within two years, the first purple martins came back to nest. Today, there are between 70 and 80 pairs nesting here.

Along with the purple martins, the ospreys also returned last month, and have built a nest out on one of the pilings. A white head sticks up from the nest from time to time, then disappears, framed by fluffy brown wings.

“I’ve always thought it would be nice if you could talk to them,” said Al Grass, a naturalist who has been leading nature walks for the public at Maplewood for more than a dozen years.

“Ask them where they’ve been. . . .”

Gone from Burrard Inlet since the early part of the last century — driven out by hunting, habitat destruction, and environmental pollution that weakened their eggs — the osprey returned to the mudflats in the early 1990s.

“These ospreys returned as if they’d received an email for the first time in 50 or 60 years,” said Bell.

A black-capped chickadee is a common sight at the Conservation Area and across the North Shore.

“We’re always waiting for the return of the osprey,” said Grass.

“Certain things mark the passage of time. When the first osprey arrives. When the first warblers come back from migration.”

The return of the osprey and the purple martins to Burrard Inlet is part of the quiet success story of the Conservation Area at Maplewood Mudflats, which marks its 20th anniversary this year.

The local wildlife sanctuary off Dollarton Highway, made up

of 96 hectares of mudflats and salt marsh plus 30 hectares of upland forest, grassland and ponds, is vital for many migratory birds.

“A lot of these birds have come to depend on certain places to stop and get food on their migrations,” said Bell. “But these places are getting developed. They’re losing their feeding areas to concrete, asphalt and buildings.”

Many species of ducks, shore birds and songbirds either spend the winter at Maplewood, nest there in spring or migrate through the area on their way to summer breeding grounds in the north.

Since the conservation area was established in 1993, the number of bird species has grown from 208 to 246.

Sometimes rare birds show up: great horned owl, American avocet, Lapland longspur and snow bunting have all been spotted here.

Mark DeVries of North Vancouver said in springtime he comes to Maplewood almost every day. He knows where he might get lucky and spot bluebirds or Townsend’s solitaires coming through.

Birdwatchers come here in the hopes of grace. There are never guarantees.

John Lowman, a Simon Fraser professor who took up wildlife photography after he turned 50, has been coming to Maplewood for more than a decade.

When he lived in Burnaby, Lowman would often make the quick 10-minute drive across the bridge to Maplewood in the early morning, just as the light was rising.

One day he was stared down by coyote, which sat on the frosty ground and watched him. Another time, he saw two white pelicans that had touched down in the salt marsh. “How often do you see those?” he said.

The story of Maplewood isn’t one of untouched wilderness, however. It has more to say about redemption in a world that is often imperfect. For many decades, Maplewood was an industrial wasteland, slated for development. A gravel quarry operator dredged a barge channel through the mud flats early on. Another person used it as a private airstrip to land his Cessna.

In the 1950s and ’60s, the land became a dumping ground for fill taken out of the West End as old houses were knocked down for redevelopment. There was concrete and asphalt, bricks and pieces of metal.

“They trucked all that to Maplewood and dumped it on See Wild page 4

About three metres of that fill still covers parts of the site. Old laburnum, apple and quince trees that can be found growing at Maplewood are a testament to its past.

The neighbours quickly arrived on the scene, seeing what Dunham reported was a “perfect dog-sized trap.”

“The other dogs were all running around loose, worried, freaking out and she couldn’t leave the dog that had been trapped,” Dunham said. “The other dogs in the meantime, because they weren’t the smartest, obviously, kept trying to get photos Hallie Mitchell at the meat the whole time.

“The dogwalker was holding the dog and I pulled the hooks than he ever was,” she said.

The craftsmanship of the trap suggests a determined trapper, “I couldn’t even find wounds, so they were probably pretty minor,” said Shaunne Gorrie, the veterinarian who examined according to Mitchell.

“It was very intricate and you could tell it took a lot of time the dog. “He was lucky, I guess.”

during a robbery.

Emma Welford, a spokeswoman with Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs, said Canadian consular officials are in contact with local Mexican officials to gather information.

Earle first worked as a civilian employee for the West Vancouver Police Department in the late 1980s before becoming a bylaw officer and eventually a patrol constable in 1993. She left the force in 1996.

Earle had reportedly been living in the Mayan Riviera area of Mexico for several years and had been active in animal welfare organizations there.

Chris Cvetkovic, the long snapper for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, runs a foundation for animal shelters in Winnipeg and visited one of the Mexican animal rescue groups in January where Earle volunteered.

“She ended up taking me under her wing,” he said. “I spent a week working with her.”

Cvetkovic described Earle as one of the most selfless people he had met.

“She was a joker and she was very genuine,”

he said. “She had an enormous heart.

“I think she had found what she wanted to do in retirement.”

Cvetkovic said he and other Blue Bombers players who had worked with Earle in Mexico were shocked and saddened by the news of her death.

Other friends posted tributes to Earle on social media, describing her death as a tragic loss.

“She worked tirelessly to help the animals of Playa in whatever way she could,” posted one person from Coco’s Cat Rescue, where Earle volunteered.

“We will miss her bubbly, happy outgoing personality. . . . Lynn will be missed by all and leaves a big hole in the hearts of many.”

The news of Earle’s death comes just a few days after the North Vancouver RCMP issued an appeal for information on a another Canadian, 53-year-old Trevor Roseborough, who has been missing in Mexico for the past 16 months.

VIEWPOINT Published by North Shore News a division of LMP Publication Limited Partnership, 100-126 East 15th Street, North Vancouver, B.C. V7L 2P9. Doug Foot, publisher. Canadian publications mail sales product agreement No. 40010186.

Call the byelections I

T’S been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.

It’s messy, inefficient and expensive.

But we accept those necessary evils, in exchange for the benefit of choosing those who represent our interests.

But apparently the results of this month’s provincial election have a few politicians wondering if they can pass a bit of streamlining by the public. That’s because a dozen newly elected MLAs already hold positions as municipal mayors and councillors — West Vancouver Sea-to-Sky’s Jordan Sturdy, who is also the mayor of Pemberton, among them.

The thought of 12 byelections — and their associated costs — has prompted some chatter that perhaps the exercise can simply be dispensed with. Instead, politicians have publicly mused about

taking extended leaves of absence or — in some cases — performing both roles.

Both of which strike us as very bad ideas. Yes, byelections cost money.

But those now getting queasy at the thought knew full well what running provincially entailed, as did the public who elected them.

It would be understandable if some members of the B.C. Liberals were left giddy with the thought there’s no task they can’t handle. But holding dual roles like these and not shortchanging the public isn’t one of them.

The two roles of municipal and provincial politician are different, and sometimes in conflict. Each warrants a representative serving those interests.

The public in the communities affected don’t deserve a person trying to serve two masters — or worse, an empty chair.

Corrigan’s P3 comments off the mark

“History will judge those who let her die.”

West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce head of advocacy Maggie Pappas likens Ambleside to a dying woman while describing a potential development as the defibrillator that could save her (from a May 19 news story).

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

Moodyville resident Amanda Nichol describes her frustration at the prospect of high-voltage transmission lines running down St. Davids Avenue (from a May 19 news story).

••• “Some of the trees were probablyaroundwhenCanada was incorporated and it will probably take that many years before they get back to the (same) magnificent stature.”

Metro Vancouver environment and parks committee chairwoman Heather Deal welcomes the filing of criminal charges 15 months after a swath of oldgrowth trees were cut down in Capilano River Regional Park (from a May 22 news story).

Dear Editor: Mayor Derek Corrigan’s claims regarding P3s (private public partnerships) in his May 15 letter, Waste Waters Muddied with Misinformation, are largely erroneous.

Firstly, a P3 is not “privatization.”

In a privatization, the government sells an asset to the private sector (or investors), transferring ownership. Thereafter, there is generally no long contractual relationship between the government and the buyer.

In contrast, with P3s the government body has very significant control over the private sector party’s project performance, through a legal contract with consequences for non-performance, ranging from financial penalties to contract termination. Also, the government may choose to own the asset.

Secondly, Mayor Corrigan asserts that “Citizens face higher interest costs and loss of control of a public asset.”

The first point can be true, but

let us remember the following conventional (non-P3) projects: B.C.’s Fast Ferries (costed “right down to the toilet paper,” Premier Glen Clark) — overrun 100 per cent, no business case, mothballed, sold at four per cent of cost; Montreal Olympics (“The Olympics can no more have a deficit than a man can have a baby”: Mayor Jean Drapeau) — paid off by a 30 year surcharge to taxpayers; B.C.’s Expo ’86 overrun $700 million; Vancouver Convention

Centre overrun $400 million; Langley Stadium (overrun 100 per cent); the fed’s Maple Reactors (600 per cent overrun, 14 years late, abandoned after $680 million). How long did taxpayers rejoice at the slightly lower cost of debt in these conventional projects?

Thirdly, Mayor Corrigan asserts that there is “loss of control of a public asset” with a P3. He might read the May 1999 B.C. NDP government PPP handbook, written on

NDP Minister Jenny Kwan’s watch, which states “it can be argued that local government has more control, in that it has well-defined contractual remedies in a PPP that it may not have with its own management and staff.”

Lastly, he claims that “if the private company fails, we have to take over and complete the project.” Failures of the P3 consortia do happen, but they also happen in conventional procurement, including a large

part of Metro Vancouver’s Seymour water treatment plant project.

Not all municipalities agree with Mayor Corrigan.

For example, in the politically sensitive sector of drinking water, the following municipalities elected P3s: White Rock (since 1913), Sooke, Port Hardy, French Creek, Canmore, Okotoks, Strathmore, Chestermere, See Risk page 7

Garbage storing prevents law-breaking

Dear Editor: Regarding Gregor Gawronski’s May 3 letter, Garbage Storing is a Bad Idea: Possibly, Mr. Gawronski hasn’t yet heard about the requirements for handling garbage. Firstly, of course, he isn’t allowed to put anything in his backyard that might “attract more wildlife.” For instance, he would contravene the B.C. Wildlife Act. Once he has, as required, separated the food scraps from the rest of his garbage, he will probably find that the remainder doesn’t have any offensive smell, so there will be no problem with bagging it and storing it in his home. My own experience with the food scraps is that, kept in the handy bags sold in markets and

CONTACT US

temporarily secured with the kind of clips people use on partly emptied potato chip bags, there is no smell problem. But if there were, I’d freeze them as each bag became full, putting them in additional plastic bags if absolutely necessary. I think it most unlikely that any diseases would then be spread by any of my garbage. I do my disease spreading, involuntarily, by breathing out and by touching things like doorknobs in public.

I disagree with the headline. Garbage storing is a good idea.

It lets you meet your obligations for handling the garbage, and saves you from breaking the law.

Where’s Miss Manners when we need her Why can’t the wonderfully witty Miss Manners (a.k.a.

Judith Martin) set this situation to rights? The syndicated American columnist has been answering etiquette questions in newspapers since 1978 and is an absolute delight, as snide and funny as she is correct.

I’ll never forget the advice she once gave somebody who asked her, years ago, “What am I supposed to say when I am introduced to a homosexual ‘couple’?” Her answer: “How do you do?”

“How do you do?”

Who wouldn’t admire a woman who, when asked, “If you had a single piece of advice to offer a couple who want to break into society, what would it be?” responded with a succinct “Don’t bother”?

Martin’s beautifully designed website tells you all about her. “Born a perfect lady in an imperfect society, Miss Manners is the pioneer mother of today’s civility movement. Now if she could only persuade people to practice civility as much as they talk about it. . . .” Ouch.

I certainly hope that modern-day parents whose kids are planning to get hitched always give them

Going Coastal

Kate Zimmerman Miss Manners’ Guide to a Surprisingly Dignified Wedding, well in advance.

That way, everybody can avoid the reception scavenger hunt and fresh tattoo keepsake.

Martin’s book Miss Manners’ Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior, which my mum gave me before my own wedding, has held a sacred spot on my bookshelf for more than 30 years. I can’t claim to have read the whole thing more than once — which explains plenty — but it remains as entertaining and useful as ever.

It’s been updated, and I bought the 2011 digital version the other day in hopes of guidelines related to social media and the technology that goes with it. Although Martin addresses such issues as speaking on cellphones in public, the 70-something is clearly not immersed in the

wonderful world of modernday gadgetry and therefore has established few protocols for it.

She has, however, consistently admonished her “gentle readers” for lecturing their friends, associates and business contacts on how to behave in all kinds of circumstances. Apparently that’s extremely rude. Miss Manners herself claims never to give advice unless asked, so here’s me, asking. I’m not sure we’ve more urgently needed her input.

“Netiquette” may exist, you see, but nobody seems to know or observe its rules, so anarchy prevails. A scan of Internet articles about it offers suggestions like “Don’t type in all caps” because it looks like you’re yelling.

Where etiquette’s essence is simply the Golden Rule — do unto others as you would have them do unto you — netiquette has no such subtext.

I’d suggest that the essence

of social netiquette ought to be that one should be polite and considerate whenever one is communicating with friends or strangers, and that one should respond to them as promptly, courteously and honestly as possible.

Is that so hard? Apparently, it is.

The other day, a friend whom I’ll call Chelsea told me how offended she was that her pal Kim was ignoring her texts. Chelsea was supposed to attend a party in Kim’s honour, had arranged to take time off work, and wanted to make sure the date was written in stone. For days, Kim simply didn’t answer Chelsea’s texts.

All the while, Kim could be publicly seen lollygagging on Facebook, sharing photographs, commenting warmly on others’ posts, etcetera. Chelsea was left wondering why she’d lavish her scant time and energy on a party for someone who didn’t have the decency to return a close friend’s message.

This is the trouble now: the appearance of a new kind of social transparency.

If you’re constantly on social media, people know it. Once, if you wanted to be left alone, you could let the phone ring and friends would leave you a message. They didn’t know whether you were out of town, in a funk or happily having fun with someone else.

You’d return the call when you were free and in the right frame of mind — even faster, if required.

Nowadays, people might be avoiding you because they’re busy working, but if you see them bustling around Facebook posting time-lapse videos of sprouting sunflowers or aphorisms they’ve found in self-help books, you know they have plenty of time for drivel, but none for you. It’s a snub, and, trust me, whether it’s meant that way or not, that’s how it’s felt.

I’m no Miss Manners, but I know this much: If you’re sent a personal message by

Missing man’s sister seeks leads

From page 5

siblings, who lives on the North Shore, said Trevor had been living on his sailboat in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle near Puerto Vallarta for a couple of years, but always kept in regular contact.

“He is very independent,” said Roseborough. “He’s always had an alternative lifestyle and lived on very little.”

Communication with the family came to an abrupt end in January 2012, when Roseborough’s sister received an autoreply from Trevor’s email that read, “Sorry friends, I have gone travelling and will not get or reply to your messages for a month or two.”

Roseborough said she also received a postcard from Trevor, postmarked in February. Since then, however, there has been no word on her brother’s whereabouts.

Roseborough has made three trips to Mexico since to try to find information. “I found absolutely nothing,” she said.

North Vancouver RCMP investigators have determined there has been no banking or Internet activity on Trevor Roseborough’s accounts.

His sister said she’s hoping for any leads that could bring answers for the family.

“If something tragic happened, why hasn’t his body surfaced?” she said. “It’s totally bizarre.”

to construct it. It was very premeditated,” she said.

Returning to the site with an RCMP officer later that afternoon, Mitchell said she noticed firepits and other signs that people may be living there.

Aside from a few harsh words directed at a dogwalker a few weeks ago, Mitchell said she has never noticed ill-will towards the commercial dogwalkers who regularly stroll through the area. “Both the vet and the RCMP officer said that they haven’t seen anything like this before,” she said.

The incident has prompted Dunham to warn her neighbours about the area.

“It’s still really haunting me, creeping me out,” Dunham said.

“I always refer to this area as the little bubble because nothing shocking ever happens up here, it’s just like Pleasantville.”

Salt marsh now a sanctuary From page 4

NEWS photo Mike Wakefield

YOU’LL never know what you’ll see next at the Maplewood Conservation Area.

— pied-billed grebe, American coot, marsh wren, Virginia rail and red-winged blackbirds.

In recent years, several people have reported a rare Oregon spotted frog that’s only been found in one or two other locations in the Lower Mainland.

Someone has also reported seeing a tiger salamander “which is an exceptionally rare salamander for the West Coast,” said Bell.

“If it’s there, it’s really quite a coup.”

On this particular day, the turtles that often like to sun themselves on the logs in the ponds aren’t there.

The ponds are also home to mink, one lonely resident beaver and river otters, whose crab shell-laden scat next to the trail is a sign of where they cross from the inlet to fresh water.

“They have big canine teeth on them that would put Dracula to shame,” said Bell. “Their teeth look like they’re about two inches long when they crunch that crab.”

At the edge of the pond, the bulrushes are rustling. Horsetail, a plant that has been around since the time of the dinosaurs, lines the trail. Drifts of cottonwood seeds have begun to float on the air.

Over on the westernmost part of the conservation area, a fence shields a marshy area from public access. It’s where ground-nesting birds can sit undisturbed, and where the fawns of the area’s resident black-tailed deer population are born.

Beyond the salt marsh, a massive Seaspan tug chugs up the inlet. A high twitter of a kingfisher breaks the white-noise rumble of the nearby cement and chemical plants.

An osprey — this one a resident of the neighbouring industrial plant — swoops in to the marshy foreshore and picks up a stick.

Across the inlet, Shell’s oil tanks sprout against the sky. A power line steps up the hill, towards a Burnaby highrise.

There’s much that’s not pure about Maplewood. The presence of ubiquitous Himalayan blackberry — an invasive nonindigenous species — upsets some people, said Bell. To create a wide variety of habitat, the Wild Bird Trust volunteers have also planted shrubs and trees that wouldn’t naturally be found on the site — Ponderosa pine, Garry oak, California redwood.

But then again, many birds in the Lower Mainland aren’t indigenous either — like the large Canada goose, introduced from Ontario in the 1950s after hunters killed off a lot of the smaller native geese. “It’s been a big success — for the geese,” said Bell.

Birds greet the rising sun with dawn chorus “If you’re there, you’re there,” said Orr of the unpredictable appearances. “You never know when it’s going to happen.”

That doesn’t just apply to birds.

On the way to Osprey Point there’s a patch in the grass where an orchid known as Ladies Tresses sometimes grows. “It’s kind of a cream-coloured flower but spiralled like a corkscrew,” says Grass. When they first discovered it, five or six years ago, the orchid went on the “rare plant alert” and photographers rushed in to see it. It usually blooms for a few weeks in July. “More or less,” says Grass. “Sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on the temperature, the moisture in the soil and everything else.”

For years Lowman hoped to capture a dragonfly hatching.

When it first emerges “Its wings are completely tiny little stubs,” he said. They need moisture from the air to unfurl.

At Maplewood one day, he found that moment — photographing for hours from the emergence of the dragonfly’s head to the moment it took its first flight.

“It’s the connection with the natural world,” said Lowman of why he’ll spend hours watching a dragonfly. “We lose it cities.

From page 9

For birdwatchers, spring is a special time of year. May and June are among Grass’s favourite months at the sanctuary.

“The birds are back. There’s lots of birdsong. There’s flowers out and there are butterflies,” he said.

Grass leads the “dawn chorus” walk, early in the morning, focused on bird songs. “When the sun is rising the birds greet the morning sun,” he said.

Then in June there’s “The Big Sit” — Maplewood’s version of the avid birder’s “big day” where watchers record all the birds they see and hear.

There’s a certain amount of chance involved with the natural world. Take the evening grosbeak, which showed up at Maplewood last month, a bright green bird with a massive beak that can crack cherry seeds with a force of 50 pounds per square inch.

“One year they’ll turn up in vast numbers. Then you won’t see them for a couple of years, or they’ll be somewhere else,” said Bell. “They’re very secretive.”

We lose it in a lot of our world.”

At Osprey Point, butterfly bush and Nootka rose mark Danny’s Garden, the memorial garden for Al and his wife’s son Danny Grass, who died at 16 during surgery for a heart condition.

Al and Danny used to come here often together. “He used to love it here,” said Grass. “He used to sit here and watch the trains across on the other side.”

There’s black twinberry and Indian plum, food for the butterflies.

Early in the spring, deer nibble leaf buds on the red currant and salmonberry here. Later, their flowers attract the rufous hummingbirds, back from their annual migration south.

The Eldercollege tour today started just down the trail, at the small wooden hut that Grass refers to as “the world headquarters of the Wild Bird Trust of B.C.” There’s a place to sign out binoculars and a logbook kept in neat handwriting, marking the events of the days: “Sunny cool windy.” “Adults 50, kids 14, dogs See Watchers page 11

Soon, the Wild Bird Trust plans to build a bigger nature house in a grassy spot just down the trail, with a larger meeting space and wheelchairaccessible washrooms. The trust raised $250,000 for the nature house, which will be matched by a $250,000 photo John Lowman donation from the Norbury Foundation.

YVETTE Smith is a fighter.

For the last 10 years the North Vancouver resident has laced up for the annual Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life and this year is no different, seeing her lead the charge yet again out of an interest in supporting research towards a cure.

“I want to be there when they find that cure. I want to be there and say, ‘Well, you know what, I helped, I was a part of it.’ Even though my story didn’t have

a wonderful ending, there are so many people out there who are fighting it and surviving, which is great. And it’s getting better every year so hopefully they’ll find that cure one day and hopefully I’ll still be a part of them finding it,” she says.

The 2013 edition of the North Shore Relay For Life is being held Saturday, June 8 at North Vancouver’s Mahon Park from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. An annual fundraising event for the society, proceeds support cancer research, cancer prevention initiatives and helps people living with the disease.

Hannah’s House marks a decade of relay participation From page 13 opportunity for participants to come together with family and friends and celebrate both survivors as well as those who lost their cancer battle.

The first year Yvette participated in the relay was 2004 in support of her daughter Hannah, who from 2000 to 2004 fought an unsuccessful battle with cancer of the spine and brain. Hannah passed away (following her mother’s first relay experience) in October 2004 at age nine.

“We were just going to do it for one year and you get hooked on it,” says Yvette.

“The day itself, it’s just all about the community. It’s a real good day. Even though some parts of it are so sad for what it is, I think it’s great, everybody being together and showing solidarity in it, just everybody coming together to say, ‘You know what, we believe we can find this cure and we can fight this together,’” she adds.

The upcoming relay has special significance to Yvette and her team as Hannah would have turned 18 this year.

“The actual week of the relay would have been her graduation week. As much as it’s emotional, it’s also a milestone for us. I’ll celebrate

reunion of sorts.

“I have a friend (Nancy Blues) who every year has made a different fairy pin for Hannah and every year we give them all out to people so we actually have people who come over to the tent now looking for them because they’re collecting them, so it’s pretty cool,” she says.

Community members are encouraged to register for the upcoming relay. As well, cancer survivors are encouraged to sign up for the Survivors’ breakfast and Survivors’ Victory Lap. Members of the general public are invited to the festivities at any point, as

it in a different way this year,” she says.

Yvette has been grateful for the tremendous support received from family and friends over the years, including those who join her at the relay as members of her team, dubbed Hannah’s House.

She’s also been grateful for two of Hannah’s friends from Westview elementary, Carolyn Weekes and Dominic Taylor, who now in their grad year, have continued to make the relay an annual priority.

Over the years Yvette has also been able to build relationships with other participants and the event is a

well as to purchase a Luminary, a special paper bag decorated with messages of love and encouragement placed around

the track and lit at dusk.

NORTH Vancouver residents Megan Kleisinger (left) and Zahida Jaffer are tackling the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Half-Marathon and Marathon, respectively, next weekend through Team in Training, the fundraising program of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada.

NV runners head to San Diego to beat cancer Erin McPhee emcphee@nsnews.com

ZAHIDA Jaffer and Megan Kleisinger plan to go the distance next weekend in an effort to beat blood cancers.

The North Vancouver residents and friends are planning to tackle the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Marathon and Half-Marathon, respectively, Sunday, June 2, to pay tribute to family members who’ve successfully battled cancer and to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada.

The women are participating in the society’s fundraising endurance sports training program, Team in Training, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. The program is open to individuals of a variety of fitness levels and participants are supported in their goal of completing events like marathons, half-marathons, triathlons and cycling events by program coaches in the lead up, and simultaneously raise funds for the society.

Funds raised through Team in Training go towards blood cancer research and patient services.

More than just a first-time Team in Training participant, Jaffer serves as Team in Training

campaign co-ordinator, having come on board with the B.C./Yukon region of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada in March 2012.

“I decided to take this on with the team because since working here it’s changed my life just getting to know all the other athletes that have been involved and people who are cancer survivors that do it. . . . I just thought it would be neat to try it out for myself,” she says.

Jaffer, 32, is an avid runner, having initially taken up the sport as part of her efforts to lose weight, successfully losing more than 130 pounds over a three-year period.

“It was my goal once I reached my goal weight to train for a marathon,” she says.

Jaffer ran two marathons last year, however, they were just about completing them, she says. This time around, she has a specific time in mind, as well as fundraising goal, and she’s running in honour of her 39-year-old cousin Saeed’s recent diagnosis with B-cell follicular lymphoma.

“He did go through extensive rounds of chemo but he was able to maintain a really high quality of life,” she says. His treatment has been successful, which he attributes to positive advances in research.

hopeful story,” she says.

Kleisinger’s brother, Michael, a 35-year-old Vancouver resident, was diagnosed 11 years ago with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and has been considered to be cancerfree for 10 years.

A Houston, Texas, resident and father of two, Saeed has participated in previous Team in Training events through his local chapter and plans to meet Jaffer in San Diego to run the half-marathon.

They’ll be reunited for the first time since they were kids.

“His whole family is going to be there in San Diego to support both of us, to cheer us both on, so it’s going to be very emotional,” says Jaffer.

This is the first time Kleisinger, 40, a speech therapist, has participated in a Team in Training event.

She decided to participate to honour her brother’s cancer journey and mark an important milestone in his recovery.

As well, she wanted to offer others currently battling the disease a sense of hope.

“I feel like my story is a hopeful story.”

— Megan Kleisinger Team in Training participant “It’s such a great story and hopeful and I just wanted to let him know I still remember what (he’s) gone through,” she says.

Kleisinger is grateful for the support she’s received from Team in Training program staff in helping her reach her goals and positive

experience overall and is considering continuing on with the program to run in an upcoming fall event, the Nike Women San Francisco Marathon Oct. 20.

Together, Jaffer and Kleisinger have raised approximately $10,000 for the society.

Community members interested in participating in future Team in Training events are encouraged to register for the following upcoming events: Vancouver Triathlon, Sept. 2; RBC GranFondo Whistler, Sept.

7; BMW Berlin Marathon, Sept. 29; and Nike Women San Francisco Marathon, Oct. 20. Training got underway yesterday.

Lock key to lasting relationship with your bike QUESTION:

I recently had my bike stolen and I’m worried it could happen again. What’s the best kind of lock to get for my bike?

Answer: What’s nicer than going for a little bike ride on a beautiful day? The sun is shining and the birds are singing as you glide through your neighbourhood whistling a jaunty tune.

Then you see a café just a block ahead. Could life get any sweeter? Naturally you stop for a latte and a biscotti just to put the icing on top of what is turning out to be a cake of a day.

Clutching your caffeinated and sugary treats, you head back outside to look for a table and discover — quelle horreur!

— your bike is gone. In all the history of the world, has anyone ever suffered such an injustice? Why, why, oh why?!

While we completely understand your heartbreak, it’s important to remember that you’ve not been singled out by the universe to endure inexplicable suffering. A bicycle, after all, is like a light-weight ATM that’s reliably left unattended in public places and conveniently packaged in its own getaway vehicle. So the odds are that bikes are going to get stolen from time to time. But — this is the important point — it doesn’t need to be your bike.

pedal pushers

So what can you do to protect your baby?

You’ve already thought of an answer: a lock. Locks are in fact useful. Here are some true stories for you to consider. A Pedal Pusher recently had her bike stolen. What kind of lock was she using? None! During a meeting (about cycling of all things) one of the attendees recently got his bicycle stolen.

What kind of lock was he using?

You guessed it — none.

Admit it, you didn’t lock up your bike either when you went for that coffee.

Bitter experience teaches us that pretty much any lock is better than no lock at all. Once having accepted the necessity of a lock, you must decide on what kind. Some bicycle locks are cheap and light and easily cut. Others are expensive and heavy and require a bit more

effort to cut. Which one’s right for you? Like most things in life, it depends.

In New York City, bicycle theft is not entirely unheard of and it’s common to drape your bike from nose to tail in U-Locks with a few hundred feet of anchor chains thrown in for good measure. This system protects the bike by making it impossible for the owner to take it outside. However, you may have noticed that the North Shore is not exactly like New York. For instance, there are far fewer Broadway shows and I have not once seen Woody Allen on Lonsdale.

Whereas in Yokohama, Japan, the streets are littered with expensive electric-assist bicycles capable of carrying two small children and a week’s worth of groceries. When parked, they are typically secured with

ribbon-like cable locks that look like they might — just might — be able to repel the efforts of a thieving toddler. But the North Shore is not exactly like Yokohama either. We have a much, much higher number of sushi places.

Is there a middle-ground that’s right for the North Shore? A cable lock may be fine if you only leave your bike outside for brief café stops, but it’s probably not enough if you venture inside the mall for an extended shopping trip.

In that case, a solid U-Lock is probably a better choice. And you may want to consider the folding locks that have recently become available in some select bike stores. They’re as strong as U-Locks, weigh about the same, but the biggest bonus is that they’re way, way more expensive.

As important as the lock is, how you use it is just as important. Here are a few tips: ■ Lock it to at least two items, one of which is your bike.

■ Make sure one of the two items locked together is immovable, since that is key to making the second item immovable.

■ A mail truck is not

For when that doesn’t work:

Isolation workshop targets North Shore business community LOCAL business owners are encouraged to register for an upcoming workshop designed to offer solutions to isolation.

Isolation — Symptoms and Solutions is being presented Tuesday, May 28 at North Vancouver’s Churchill House from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Participants will have an opportunity to network with other business owners and representatives of organizations Barbara Kirby affected by isolation and learn how to make positive change, as well as how to support clients who are experiencing isolation.

According to a press release, the lunch and learn session will be led by local seniors advocate and expert Barbara Kirby, owner of BjK Seniors’ Advocate, which offers personalized care planning, management and advocacy for seniors and their families.

Kirby knows first-hand the challenges and rewards of serving as an advocate for those needing a voice in our service systems. After spending 15 years navigating the health care system on behalf of her dad with a brain injury and her mother with Alzheimer’s disease, Kirby says she came face to face with the complexity, richness, gaps, and confusion that can at times exist within our health and service systems, and the impact it can have on caregivers and care receivers.

This inspired Kirby to leave her successful long-term career as an investment advisor and through her company, she works as a skilled educator and provides workshops and seminars to businesses, non-profit organizations and service organizations, teaching participants how to prepare for later-life issues.

To register ($20) for next week’s workshop, visit honourourseniors.com. For information on BjK Seniors’ Advocate, visit seniorsadvocate.ca.

TAMMY Watson leads a chair exercise class at St. Martin’s Anglican Church. The free drop-in program is offered Wednesdays from 1 to 2 p.m. at the North Vancouver church. Classes are low-impact and concentrate on balance, stability and core strength for fall prevention, as well as some work on upper and lower body strength with a cardiovascular component. Classes are followed by a healthy snack and an opportunity to socialize. Registration and info: 604-988-1410.

Recent AGM address raises a few eyebrows Differences between men and women and grey divorce among the hot topics WHEN I spoke recently at the North Shore Meals on Wheels Society’s annual general meeting, I opened my talk with a question: When does old age begin?

The first answer from the audience: 90 years of age.

Another person thought age had more to do with your attitude than the number of candles on your birthday cake.

I love a crowd like this.

There is of course no right or wrong answer here but a recent survey of 3,000 adults ranging from the age of 18 to well over 65 found that people thought old age began at the age of 68.

Like many questions in life the definition of old age depends on who you ask. As people age, old age moves back. The older people get, the longer it takes for a person to reach old age.

Maybe it’s true that you’re only as old as you feel.

News that half a million Canadians are 85 or older and that Canada is home to approximately 6,000 centenarians (those 100 years of age or older) came as a surprise to many in the audience.

Are seniors going to bankrupt the health care system? Everyone in the audience had heard that one before. It’s true that health care is more costly for people who are 65 and older.

Here’s something that we

Older & Wiser Tom Carney

don’t often hear: Health care spending on seniors in Canada has remained relatively stable for the last decade.

Most of those in attendance thought that B.C. spends more on health care than the national average when, in fact, only Quebec spends less per capita on health care than we do.

Do the rich live longer than the rest of us? In a word: yes.

In my business we call that the wealth gradient on mortality.

Whether wealth causes better health or vice versa isn’t quite as clear but if you’re looking for a magic elixir for longevity look no further than your bank account.

Physician-assisted death is illegal in Canada and in all but three states in America. No matter what our Parliament or legislatures rule and regardless of what positions are taken by organizations either for or against physicianassisted death, the issue of patient-assisted suicide for the terminally ill should, in my opinion, remain a matter between a patient, their family and their physician.

Usually when I raise the topic of driving with a seniors audience, I bring a flak jacket.

Senior drivers are often viewed as a hazard on the road but the facts are that young drivers are far more likely to cause

accidents. Given that seniors are generally in poorer health and more frail, drivers aged 65 and older are at a much greater risk of serious injury or death when they do have an accident.

One expert has concluded that senior drivers pose a much larger risk to themselves than others.

Throughout my presentation I referenced the differences between men and women in the seniors population. Women may live longer than men but by most other measures (including income, rates of disability and social isolation) senior women in Canada come up short.

I sensed that some of the women in the audience were troubled by those statistics.

Time to level the playing field, I thought to myself, so I closed with the topic of grey divorce. In Canada the only age group that is seeing a rise in divorce is people over the age of 50.

When I mentioned that women initiated the majority of those divorces there was a stir in the audience. When I noted that in most cases the men didn’t have a clue about what was about to hit them you could have heard a pin drop. I could have skipped the part about women being happier but less financially secure following a divorce (the opposite is true for men) but I didn’t.

That evening I stopped on the way home and bought a bouquet of flowers for my wife because well, you just never know. I wouldn’t be surprised if a few of the men in the audience did the same.

Flexibility offers protection Making Cents

Lori Pinkowski

WHEN the term “flexibility” is mentioned in a discussion regarding investing, most people understand that it references the ability to choose certain investment options over others.

Unfortunately, many investors do not understand the inflexible nature of the wealth management world and, in some cases, the severe restrictions that essentially handcuff portfolio managers.

When the market, or even a particular sector, is falling significantly most would logically say “get out of the way” and “find somewhere else to park your money.”

The trouble is some investment managers are bound by their mandate (or pre-defined investment strategy). This wouldn’t be a problem if the mandate was developed with the flexibility to raise cash in riskier times and to reduce exposure to certain sectors if needed.

In reality, many investment mandates (particularly with mutual funds) require the manager to stay almost fully invested, sometimes in sectors that should be avoided, even when conditions are poor.

Ideally, what you want is an investment manager that can “go anywhere” so to speak. As mentioned earlier, many mutual funds in Canada have strict guidelines which they must follow when managing their mandates.

Many funds are only able to raise cash to a maximum level of 10 per cent. This could result in over-exposure to stocks if there were a significant market correction. You need a flexible portfolio manager should there be heightened risk in the markets, so that your portfolio is protected from the full weight of a downturn.

This brings us to another issue — sector funds. Mutual

funds can be categorized by the type of investment they focus on, such as bond funds, equity funds, REIT funds, international and even resource funds. Owning a mutual fund that focuses on one-single sector when that sector is doing well can be terrific, the problem starts when that sector falls out of favour (which is inevitable).

For example, a number of resource funds had a great run up until 2010 or 2011.

These funds have since fallen by 30-50 per cent or more in some cases. This was primarily due to the sector falling out of favour and the portfolio manager being unable to do anything about it.

Due to the inflexible structure of most funds, they are forced to remain in underperforming sectors, which handcuffs the manager from shifting into better performing areas of the stock market.

So how do you know if the investment manager you are using is restricted or flexible?

Ask questions such as: n How much cash can this fund manager raise if there is risk in the markets? n Are there restrictions on how much this fund/ portfolio is able to invest in bonds or stocks?

n How often do you look at my holdings and rebalance them? n Can this portfolio invest internationally? n Does this fund have to stay in a certain sector such as gold or oil With the recent volatile market conditions, we have seen some managers do extremely well, only to lose money in other periods. In our opinion, this inflexibility is the single largest contributor to poor performance in mutual funds, and is why so many Canadian investors haven’t made great returns over the past five years. Our philosophy is that all client portfolios should be flexibly managed, a strategy that has proven to be much more successful in the current market environment.

TASTE

Pinot Gris is still at the top of the list for B.C. DESPITE the brief resurgence of Chardonnay as 2012’s Vancouver International Wine Festival global focus, when it comes to B.C. Pinot Gris still seems very much in the driver’s seat.

Notable Potables

Tim Pawsey

In fact, according to the just released 2012 harvest tonnage report, there was almost as much Gris harvested as Chardonnay, while Pinot

Blanc has been eclipsed by both Gewurz and Riesling.

I’ll suggest that part of the reason Pinot Gris is appreciated so much here is because people find its unoaked (or maybe very discretely oaked) style to be entirely food friendly. That’s especially the case with local seafood, such as spot prawns or halibut.

There used to be a time when a clear distinction was made between (leaner, crisper) Pinot Grigio and (usually more full-fruited, and off-dry,

sometimes with higher residual sugar) Pinot Gris. But the lines have become more blurred at the marketer’s whim. Often you’ll find Pinot Grigio out there that very definitely fits the profile of Pinot Gris. But never mind.

In short, there’s plenty of good Pinot Gris/Grigio on the shelves for summer sipping and pairing, including not a few from B.C. ■ Gray Monk Pinot Gris 2012 Certainly one of the prettier

wines around from a winery that pioneered the variety in the Okanagan. It has a touch of salmon colour from skin contact, before lifted orchard fruits and a juicy, off-dry style that makes it very easy to drink (90 pts.); widely available; Okanagan Wine Festival 2013 Best of Varietal Wines Award Winner (BCLS $17.99).

■ Tinhorn Creek Pinot Gris 2012 This wine shone at a recent informal “brown bag” tasting with my informal consumer tasting group that included several Gris. Full-fruited with apple and citrus notes and good acid balance, with just a little extra heft from partial malolactic fermentation ($18.99, 90 pts).

■ Spierhead Pinot Gris 2012 A bright streak of acidity lends plenty of backbone, with apple and citrus notes, drier style, well structured before a lengthy finish; grapes from Summerland ($18.90, 90 pts.).

■ Sperling Vineyards Pinot Gris 2012 Definite mineral notes with some spicy undertones in a quite broadly textured palate with melon and a touch of citrus ($19-ish, private stores, 91 pts.).

■ Stoneboat Pinot Gris 2012 One of the best recently tasted, this remarkably clear wine (“All the pinkiness drops out with the lees,” says winemaker Alison Moyes) sports a broad palate, juicy peach and citrus with balanced acidity and a mineral, spicy streak. Partially neutral-barrel fermented ($18.90, 91 pts).

■ Intrigue Pinot Gris 2012 Here’s another winner from Roger Wong, who takes time out from duties at Gray Monk to make his own, Intrigue wines. An approachable style, with citrus and tropical hints, good mouth feel and a lingering close ($16.90, 89 pts.).

■ Tic Tok Pinot Grigio 2012 A ringer in our blind tasting, this Aussie imposter sports a more “tangy” style,

hence the Grigio moniker, says maker James Oatley. On the palate, quite full bodied with easy sipping juiciness, tropical pear and citrus notes.

I’m happy with it whatever it’s called ($16.99, 89 pts.).

••• Good wine just doesn’t happen by accident. It takes plenty of know-how and experience, often from across the world, to grow the right varieties in the best conditions and ultimately make winning wines. All of which makes an upcoming visit by Alberto Antonini even more compelling.

It’s been three years since the savvy crowd behind Okanagan Crush Pad reached out to Antonini (a highly respected, Tuscan-based viticultural consultant) to get involved with their novel project that’s begun to have a huge impact on the B.C. wine industry. Hard to pin down, perhaps, but there’s no question that he’s already made a significant contribution to OK Crush Pad’s remarkable early success.

House Wine presents Alberto Antonini in what promises to be a fascinating conversation and tasting of the wines he’s involved in from around the globe, from Australia, Italy, Argentina and B.C., at Vancouver Urban Winery; June 3; 7-9 p.m. Tix $79 plus GST, via Eventbrite.

••• Belly’s Budget Best ■ Concha y Toro Casillero del Diablo Pinot Grigio 2012 An affordable sipper, definitely more in the Italian style, with lifted tropical and stone fruit notes, fresh and fruity, up-front citrus with a clean finish; not complex but big brand value at $13.95 BCLS (88 pts.).

WHILE cruising Facebook, I came across an article which I found absurd.

It discussed the high cost of pineapples and suggested a way to save money when purchasing one. The advice was: “Buy the whole pineapple and then cut it yourself, instead of buying it precut.” Then it gave a stepby-step guide on how to cut a pineapple.

I looked at the story and said, “Really?”

Is this an example of the state of our society when we need advice on how to cut a pineapple?

I’m beginning to think that as we become more

technologically advanced as human beings we are becoming less intelligent when it comes to common sense everyday tasks that require more effort than tapping the keys of a cellphone or computer.

This is not just specific to cutting pineapples. I see it with people and their dogs as well. People want their dogs to be well behaved and trained without putting the required effort in to achieve that goal.

I’m not sure if it’s because of the high-paced, instant gratification lifestyle most people choose to live, or if it is a degree of naivety regarding how much effort is required to have a wellbehaved dog thanks to the Hollywood-ized portrayal of dogs in media.

Training a dog takes time and effort, by you! You can’t buy a perfectly trained dog at the dog training store like you can buy a precut pineapple from the grocery store!

Sure there are training facilities that will take your dog in and train it for you — which I do not condone, by the way — then give it back. It is expensive, like a pre-cut pineapple. But even

in these circumstances, the owner still has to learn how to work with the dog and they have to practise or the training fails.

When I give a dog client homework, such as things to practice with their dog between my visits, the client’s first response is, “So how much time do I have to devote to this?”

What I say is, “You will be doing this all the time.

Whenever you are with your dog you will be doing some form of training with them.

This is the only way you will be able to achieve the results you want in the quickest amount of time.”

Yes, it does indeed take time out of your day to train your dog. But by incorporating training into your daily activities with your dog, you will see results faster and it will seem effortless.

Yet, if you fall into a routine where you devote 15 minutes to train your dog twice a day you may very well be at your training for months, if not years, and it will seem like a chore.

The sit command is an excellent way to practise your dog’s training throughout the day. The command can

be taught through repetition for five minutes, but also as part of your lifestyle to instill good behaviour.

When you are about to feed your dog, ask it to sit.

This not only reinforces the command but teaches your dog to be polite and patient before feeding.

When it’s time to go for a walk, have your dog sit when the leash goes on and off.

The command is reinforced but the dog also learns self control. Going for a walk is great fun and can be used as a big reward for showing self control, through sitting, while the leash goes on and off.

The dog should also sit before it goes in and out of a door. This reinforces the sit command, but it also teaches the dog to mind its manners and not rush out an open door.

When done properly and incorporated into your lifestyle, training your dog can take little effort and the end result will be a wellbehaved dog … faster!

THE decision to have a dog become a part of your family is a significant one.

There will be adjustments to your lifestyle to now include this pet who is depending on you for its food, shelter and exercise.

If your decision is to get a puppy then understanding its growth and development will help you, especially with that very important first year. The authors provide a detailed look at steps to take in preparing for your new arrival and

follow up with a week-by-week description of the first six months growth. They look at both the physical changes and needs of the puppy as well as its early socialization and training. After 26 weeks they discuss at the next three months and then the last months of its first year.

The majority of the book, which follows the first year description, is a more thorough discussion of the various aspects of raising your puppy, covering such topics as socialization, play, behaviour, training, health and more.

The book features colour photographs throughout as well as many separate examples to illustrate the specific subjects.

One way to prepare is to tour a pet memorial facility so future decisions can be made calmly and clearly. Pet owners can do just that on June 2 when Until We Meet Again Pet Memorial Center opens its doors to the public. The open house runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 4-839 West 1st Street, North Vancouver, and is hosted by Dogsafe Canine First Aid. Visitors are invited to tour the facility, ask questions and browse remembrance items.

“My Rottweiler, Monty, passed away three months ago and having researched this special place ahead of time provided peace of mind,” says Michelle Sevigny, creator of Dogsafe Canine First Aid. “I had no unanswered questions about his care after he died and I was able to focus on my immense grief.”

Out of respect for the sensitive nature of the facility, and the resident office cat, dogs are requested to be left at home. For information, visit dogsafe.ca/communityprograms.html or contact Sevigny at 778-340-0855.

White’s career starting to click

Talented athlete and photographer shoots for mother who can no longer watch Andy Prest aprest@nsnews.com

LIFE has thrown a lot at North Vancouver’s Andy White. On Thursday White threw back.

Scan this page with the Layar app or visit nsnews.com to view a selection of original photographs taken by Andy White.

Competing for the University of British Columbia, White scored a silver medal in javelin at the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Marion, Ind. Facing a strong headwind, white uncorked a throw of 65.59 m in the first round of the championships.

The mark stood up through the entire six-round final until the second last throw of the event when Luke Fischer of Washington’s Northwest University landed his javelin 1.41 m farther. White had the final throw but his last attempt came up short.

His gold turned into silver, White still collected his best placing ever at a big international meet.

“To be honest, it was a little disappointing. I was really going for the win this year,” White told the North Shore News on the phone from Indiana. “I had a couple of good throws but I couldn’t quite hit the big one that I was looking for.”

The Argyle secondary grad, who finished fourth and sixth at his previous two NAIA championships, came into the meet ranked as the No. 1 thrower despite missing out on more than a year and a half of competition following an ankle injury and surgery that kept him off the team last season.

“Coming back into it this year, I was so hungry to throw,” he said. “I put it all out there on the line and it wasn’t enough, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

I felt really great knowing that I’d done everything I could to prepare for it.”

This, however, is nowhere near the end for White. He still has one more season of eligibility left at UBC and, before that, a summer of competition that will start with the Canadian Track and Field Championships scheduled for June 20-23 in Moncton, N.B. With a personal best of 58.56, White is hoping to add the 44 cm that will qualify him to represent Canada at the Francophone games in Nice, France in September.

“I’m right on the cusp of that one,” he said. “Team Canada has always been my dream.” The dream extends even farther to 2016 when White hopes to represent Canada at the Olympics. To do that he’ll need to push his throws past 82 m, something that he can see happening with continued improvements in his technique.

“Three years down the road, it could totally be possible,” he said. “I’m going for it, absolutely.”

The future, it seems, is bright. And it’s emerging See Athlete page 31

The next Prints Show will be held later this

summer in late July or early August. For White, it’s a wonderful way to give back to a mother who gave him so much. She wasn’t there to see him earn his NAIA silver medal this week but White is pretty sure he knows what she would have said.

“She’d say that she was really proud of me for doing everything that I could to prepare and to keep going and believe in yourself,” he said.

“I know she would have loved to have watched — I’m sure she is, just from a different place.”

out of a past that contained more than its fair share of darkness. White’s mother, Linda Rossetti, was a vice principal at Seycove secondary when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. His father, Murray White, was Andy’s vice principal at Argyle when he was diagnosed with bladder cancer just a short time later.

His father made it — he’s now fully healthy. His mother didn’t — she died Jan. 14, 2010 at the age of 55.

“She came to pretty much all my track meets in high Financing up to 72 months school,” said White, adding that she passed away just before he began his university career.

Adult soccer teams shut out

A trio of teams from the North Shore fell by identically heartbreaking 1-0 scores in the B.C. Soccer Adult Cup provincial finals played May 11 in Langford.

In the women’s A Cup the NSGSC Renegades came close to knocking off a juggernaut but ultimately fell short as Surrey United won their record 10th consecutive provincial title. Surrey scored in the first half and the Renegades poured on the pressure in the second looking for an equalizer but couldn’t beat goalkeeper Theresa Nuttal, the game’s MVP. The win earned Surrey another trip to the national championships scheduled for October in Halifax.

In the men’s A Cup final West Van FC suffered the same fate as the Renegades, losing 1-0 to the same club — Surrey United. West Van had a horrible start to the game as central defender Drew Gelley was given a straight red card for a professional foul in just the second minute of play. Colin Streckman converted the resulting penalty kick to give Surrey an early lead.

West Van, however, stayed aggressive throughout the game and had chances to

equalize despite being down a man. They even drew a penalty shot of their own in the second half but Surrey goalkeeper Andrew Fink stopped Paul Dailly’s attempt. West Van continued to fight but could not find the back of the net.

“Even with the loss (of Gelley to the red card), I thought it was our game,” said West Van manager Andy Bramley. “I couldn’t be more proud of them. If that penalty kick went in, maybe it’s different, but it didn’t.”

Surrey head coach Rob Reed also had praise for the West Van squad.

“It was a big advantage to be up a man early, although it was clearly a red card,” said Reed.

“To their credit, West Van did not give up. They are not made to quit. I know that team very well and it was an incredible performance, really.”

West Van FC also tasted a 1-0 defeat in the men’s U21 final, losing the Doug Day Cup in overtime when Adam Karrasch of Guildford United scored to break a 0-0 tie. Guildford goalkeeper Matthew Knees was named the game’s MVP.

DAVIES, Margaret Lina Apr 23, 2013 Margaret died peacefully and naturally in her 95th year. She is missed by her children, Jan (Ian) and John (Laurie), and grandsons, Bryn & Cethlan, as well as by her sister, Mair, and nieces & nephews and their families in Wales and England. Margaret was predeceased by her husband, David, and her brothers, Jack & Bleddyn.

She will be remembered as a kind and gentle woman, intelligent, hardworking, and diligent, who befriended many with her beautiful smile and her approachable manner. She loved and valued her family above all else and was a wonderful mother and Gran. She also cherished her friends, neighbours and her church.

Born and raised in Maesteg, a small Welsh mining town, Margaret (Peggi to her family) was sent at an early age to London, where she trained as a nurse at Guy’s Hospital, and then specialised in ophthalmology at Moorfields. During WW2 she was evacuated to Kent, where she cared for the first survivors from Dunkirk. Later she trained as a midwife and braved anti-aircraft fire, on her bicycle and crawling through ditches, on her way to deliver babies. After the war she was Matron of Ophthalmic Services at the Cardiff Royal Infirmary, where she worked with Sir Tudor Thomas. As great fans of Welsh rugby, Margaret and David met at the Cardiff Rugby Club. They emigrated to Australia and then several years later to Canada with their two children.

After settling in West Vancouver, Margaret continued to work as a nurse, first in Dr. WL Sharpe’s office in West Vancouver in the 1960’s and later for several years as an ophthalmic medical assistant in the offices of Dr. Hugo Sutton, Dr. Marc Goldberg, and then their partners in Vancouver. Margaret volunteered as a plane spotter during the Cold War, at Lions Gate Hospital, and for Elections Canada. She loved to entertain family & friends and was a gracious hostess, always ready with a cup of tea and a plate of her famous pics. As well as being a talented needle-woman, in her mid-sixties she discovered previously unknown artistic talents, becoming a proficient water colour artist and soap stone sculptor. She also learned to swim at the age of 65. Enthusiastic gardeners, both Margaret and David enjoyed west coast life, as well as travelling to Australia and Wales, until David’s death in 2001 after 54 years of devoted marriage. Although Margaret continued to travel nationally and internationally, after suffering a fractured hip she moved to Sunrise of Lynn Valley in 2005.

Despite the ravages of Parkinson’s Disease, which she met without complaining, she maintained her sense of dignity, style and her famous smile. The family is grateful to the staff of Sunrise and Dr. Greg Phillips for their kind care.

A family service will be held in Wales. As Margaret was always very supportive of charities, for both the less fortunate and the environment, if friends so desire they may make donations to their favourite charity in Margaret’s memory.

HUMPHREYS, Thomas Claude August 1920 - May 2013 Our Dad, Tom Humphreys, passed away peacefully at his home of 55 years at the age of 92. Dad was born in Ioco, B.C. and grew up in various Imperial Oil cities such as Winnipeg, Halifax, Whiting, Indiana; and Edmonton.

Dad was a 2nd. Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Dragoons in Italy in the Second World War. He met our Mom Lois when he returned to Edmonton after the war to attend the University of Alberta. They moved to Vancouver in 1948 and to West Vancouver in 1958. Dad became a Chartered Accountant and spent his working career at Standard Oil. Dad was always interested in technology and spent many hours on his ham radio as VEF FHT. He moved into computers and was always a year or two ahead of the rest of the family. He even became involved in iTechnology in recent years. He was a great tuba player and one of the founding members of the Hot Jazz Society. He and Mom spent many weekends at the Hot Jazz Society taking tickets or tending bar. Dad, of course, was also playing tuba in many of the great bands. He had a keen wit and a great sense of humour. He was especially fond of puns and would work them into a conversation whenever he could.

Dad was predeceased by our Mom who passed away, much too early, in 1992. In Dad’s later years he found love, friendship and companionship with Pamela, who is greatly saddened by his passing.

Dad was a great father to Doug and wife Nicky; Ron and wife Kim; Barb and husband Scott. He was grandfather to Ron’s children Chris and wife Nancy; Jefferson and wife Kari; Barb’s children Alex, Cam, Aaron and Paula. Dad was also a greatgrandfather to James and Matthew (Chris and Nancy) and Bennett (Jefferson and Kari).

Dad was loved so much by his whole family and will be greatly missed. He was such a great Dad. He was so loving and generous and would do anything he could for any of us. He will be also missed by Beau, his cat and good friend. In memory of our Dad, donations to the SPCA in lieu of flowers would be appreciated.

Oliva, Dona Marie

February 1940 to May 2013

She’d always light up a room, spark up a friendly conversation, and put life into the party with her memorable presence and storied conversation.

Dona Marie Oliva (née Myers) was a wonderful mother, loving sister, caring friend, and awesome travel companion. Dona passed away peacefully on May 18, 2013, 73 years young, with her cherished daughter by her side.

Born in Vancouver, in the Year of the Dragon, she lived in an orphanage until age eight and was lovingly adopted into the Myers family. Mother Irene, father Harold, and sister Shirley, with a band of extended relatives, were the family she always hoped to have.

Married at 19 to Sam Oliva and eventually settling in North Vancouver, Dona had two children, Samuel Quinn and Tanya Lane. “Mrs. Oliva” was revered by all the kids in the neighbourhood and famous for being the “hot dog and sports day lady” at Carisbrooke Elementary School.

After raising her kids through school and managing multiple family rental properties, Dona returned to work and enjoyed an administrative career in private investment banking and would eventually retire with TD Canada Trust.

Dona was an eager travelling companion and enjoyed many worldly trips with her sister to Peru, China, Canada’s East Coast, Kauai, and most recently Alaska.

In celebration of Mother’s Day, Mother & Daughter took pleasure in vacations to various sun destinations and aboard the scenic Rocky Mountaineer.

Sincere thanks to Dr. Sasha, Dr. Bains and the oncology staff at Lions Gate Hospital. Thanks also to North Shore Community Health Services and their amazing homecare support team.

Dona was a remarkable lady who left a deep imprint on the lives of those she touched, young and old. A memorial bench has been placed at Kings Mill Walk (Harbourside Park) in honour of Dona and her furry grandchildren, Wilson and Brubaker. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to BC SPCA.

O’BRIEN, Patrick Aug 20, 1936 - May 17, 2013 Paddy passed away at home surrounded by loved ones after a lengthy battle with Multiple Myeloma. Predeceased by his eldest son Clarence Daniel "Clancy", survived by his brother Mike, his wife Janice of 56 years, 5 children: Tom (Deb), Kathy (Clayton), Terry (Lori), Tricia, Denny (Sandra), ten grandchildren: Dustin (Dayna), James (Des), Huey, Bud (Alex), Dylan, Sammy, Annie, Amy, Riley, Lindsay and two great granddaughters Kyla and Julia.

Born and raised in North Vancouver where he attended Capilano Elementary School with life long friends, Frank Kettner and Al Devitt, Dad spent many days exploring the Capilano River where he developed a passion for fishing. He loved the outdoors: gardening, puttering around the yard and going for walks. Most of all, Dad loved being with his family and especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

As a young man, Dad worked as a ranch hand on the Spencer Ranch at Pavilion. In the late 50s, he started driving dump trucks for Pete Massina and Don Glessing. He then became a line hauler for O’Conner Transport and later drove 35 years for Ranger Transport through three different owners, Don Read, Ken Cunningham and finally Len Kane. He was known as a heavy haul specialist, working throughout BC in his Old Hayes truck. He will be missed by the many friends he came to know over the years.

Retiring in 2000, Dad loved working on the old trucks as a volunteer at the Teamsters Truck Museum and Archives where many new friendships were formed.

You will be in our hearts forever.

Truck Driver Emeritus. Keep on trucking, Dad. Paddy’s family would like to thank all the staff at Lions Gate Hospital, as well as a special thanks to Dr. Eric Brisco and staff, for their many years of care. There will not be a public service.

FOX, Nancy Carol (nee Tracey) 1933 – 2013

We do not lose the ones we love They only go before, Where there is everlasting life And suffering no more.

And there the soul will always live And peace is everywhere, We do not lose the ones we love God takes them in His care.

Our beloved Nancy went to be with her Heavenly Father on May 18, 2013 at the age of 79 years. She is survived by her loving family: husband Bill, daughters Lynda Darling, Cindy Diett, and Sharon McInnes; sons-in-law Tony Darling and Peter Diett; granddaughters Amanda, Kimberly and Hope McInnes, Jennifer Darling; grandsons Adam and Graham Diett; brother Bill (Barbara) Tracey; and several cousins, nieces and nephews.

Born in Sydney Nova Scotia, the daughter of Emma Sunstrom & William Tracey, Nancy grew up in Vancouver. She initially worked at Westinghouse where she met her husband Bill and they settled in North Vancouver. She spent most of her career as a legal secretary, retiring at 52 to enjoy many years of travel, bridge, square dancing, volunteering and relaxing at their home away from home in Osoyoos.

Nancy formed many special friendships through school, work, church and travel that spanned her lifetime. Her friend Jean and her “hen party” girls were especially dear to her.

A longtime member of the United Church, Nancy volunteered in many capacities including the Caring Ministry where many people were the recipients of her kind and nurturing ways. An avid reader, she volunteered at the Kiwanis Care Home Library, passing her love of books on to others. She enjoyed baking, knitting and her impressive sewing skills were evident in her beautiful square dancing outfits.

Nancy experienced health challenges in the later years of her life and faced them with fortitude and grace. She will be dearly missed but will be remembered for her positive spirit, compassionate nature and her inner and outer beauty. She was our biggest cheerleader and supporter and she loved her family most of all.

The family would like to express their gratitude for the loving care she received at Lynn Valley Care Center and to the staff at Cedar View Lodge for their tender and devoted care, easing her passing with comfort and dignity. Special thanks to Dr. Nancy Crossen for her compassionate care.

A celebration and thanksgiving for Nancy’s life will be held on Sunday June 9th, 2013 at 1:00 PM, at West Vancouver United Church, 2062 Esquimalt Ave., West Vancouver.

In memory of Nancy, donations may be made to The Caring Ministry, West Vancouver United Church or to The Parkinson Society of B.C. Deeply missed and forever loved.

On May 8, 2013, one of the nicest people in the world slipped away to be with his beloved wife, Vi, whose smile he’d missed every day this past year. John Colclough was a quiet, gentle man who was devoted to his wife and children, Tom and Maureen, his son-inlaw Alan, and his grandchildren, Sam, Jacob, David and Noah.

John was proud of his 30 year career at Price Waterhouse, but when he wasn’t at his desk he was fixing the roof, the plumbing or the toaster. John greatly missed his brother and mentor, Stanley, and his sister, May, but he treasured the close relationship he had with Stan’s f a m i l y, M a ri o n a n d G a i l Colclough. Many thanks to John’s wonderful neighbours, Nancy and (the late) Elwood Platt, and to Dr. Sheila Turris.

EDWIN REINHARD

JORNITZ

JUNE 1, 1930 ~ APRIL 6, 2013

Our Dad, the man who’s always been there to help show us the way, Providing love, strength & support, So we could become the people we are today.

He decided at a young age to leave Germany with his wife And move to a new country to make a better life.

Although it was not easy, he struggled and worked hard, And left behind a legacy, which made him very proud.

His battle is now over, no more answers do we seek No more pain, no more suffering, he is no longer weak.

We know he is with Mom now, together once again, Taking care of one another, until the very end.

We will remember all he taught us We will cry but we won’t be sad Because he’ll send us down the answers And he’ll always be OUR DAD

We love you Dad and Opa xoxoxo Forever loved and sadly missed

CROSSIN, Eric Congdon Sept 26, 1923 - May 04, 2013

Our much loved father and grandfather passed away peacefully and under the compassionate care of the North Shore Hospice after a long battle with Parkinson’s. He was a Veteran, born in Winnipeg and left school halfway through grade 10 at the age of 16 to join the navy. He served as a seaman on a Corvette escorting and protecting convoys from submarine attack during the Battle of the Atlantic. This experience forged a character of quiet courage, humility, and compassion that ultimately defined his life. Upon leaving the navy, he was still a very young man and he began courting a beautiful young woman, Aileen Howes. They soon married and settled for the rest of their lives on the west coast where he attended UBC and obtained a B.Sc in Forestry. He loved the forests. After many years working for Mac Blo in many capacities on Vancouver Island, he began a teaching career at BCIT where he taught until his retirement in 1988. He was always very pleased that his life had taken this turn into teaching as were the hundreds of students he taught for over two decades. Before and after his retirement, he spent many years assisting in the development of the Mt. Seymour Demonstration Forest. It remains a permanent and fitting tribute to his life and his love of the splendour of this province. He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Aileen, in 2003, and his brother, Bob, in 2012. He will be missed by his children: David and his partner Jean, Tim and his partner Mary, Nancy and her husband Paul, Matt and his partner Glenn, his sisters Beth and Diana, his grandchildren Shane, Sarah, Daniel, Erin and Jeff, his many nieces and nephews, and extended family. His nephew, Monty Howes, was a caring presence in his life to the end, and his friends were loving throughout. He left us the way he lived his life. Quietly. With uncommon courage. A Service of Remembrance will be held on Sat., June 1, at 2 p.m. at the First Memorial Boal Chapel, 1505 Lillooet Road, North Vancouver B.C. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the “Lions Gate Hospital Foundation for Palliative and Hospice Programs”.

GRANT, Gordon Beith Oct 07, 1916 - May 16, 2013 Survived by his loving wife Shirley and son Gary and daughter Helen. Service May 31, 2 PM at Boal Chapel, 1505 Lillooet Rd, North Vancouver.

In lieu of flowers donate to Lions Gate Hospital Foundation.

HALLAM - Nancy Rose

March 15,1931 - May 15, 2013 Our dear wife, mother and grandmother passed away peacefully after a long battle with Alzheimer’s and the return of breast cancer. Nancy was born in Sackville, New Brunswick to Charles and Dorothy Chitty who had come to Canada from London the year before with their four children and had settled on a remote farm where Nancy spent her childhood. She was happily married to Donald for 58 years.

They have three children, Christine Robertson, Barbara Gagnon (Ron) and Geoffrey and two grandchildren, Kyle and Kaleigh Robertson who loved her and will miss her. Nancy’s family lived in Moncton before moving to North Vancouver via Montreal.

She worked as a Licensed

Practical Nurse in Sackville and North Vancouver and

accompanied her husband during his foreign assignments spending several years in California, Australia and Barbados. She was predeceased by all her siblings but leaves many nieces and nephews and friends to morn her loss. Nancy loved horses from the early years on the farm and always enjoyed opportunities to ride them bare back or saddle.

She also loved sailing and exploring the coast with her husband on their sailboat “Solmar” from Secret Cove where they had a condo. After her first battle with breast cancer, Nancy decided to do things while she still could, so she started cruising.

Nancy accomplished over 500 days of cruising when she became a five star mariner and was awarded a gold medallion.

The family would like to thank Dr Marck Hudon and all those who helped and visited Nancy during her long illness. Especially, Evelyn and Juliet of Living Well Care who were with her for more than three years. The family is having a private memorial service but in lieu of flowers a donation may be made to Pacific Riding for Developing Abilities (www.prda.ca). which Nancy supported.

In Memoriam

Nigel Moore

May 25, 1996 to August 25, 2012

Never forgotten, always with us.

“We have loved and lived life together.

What will survive of us is love.”

Love Mum, Dad, Olivia, Grandma and your faithful dog Henry

PATTERSON James Bernard Sept. 24, 1932 - May 18, 2013

It is with great sorrow that we announce that Jim passed away on May 18, 2013 at Lions Gate Hospital with his family by his side, following a brief but valiant battle against cancer. Jim is survived by his loving wife, DesNeiges Cosgrove, son Kevin (Jane), daughter Karen (Randy), and his three grandchildren Sarah, Thomas and Emma. Jim was predeceased by his ex-wife Joan and his sister Joan MacDonald of Victoria.

Jim was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta and moved out to the West Coast to attend UBC after completing High School. In his early twenties, he embarked on a 2 year backpacking trip across Europe, Asia and Africa, travelling to over 50 countries.

Upon his return to Vancouver, Jim met his first wife Joan; they settled in North Vancouver and started their beautiful family.

Being ambitious, Jim started his career working for a number of different companies and enjoyed success and promotions, but was never satisfied with working for someone else. In 1969, he decided to strike out on his own and started his own business Colony Home Furnishings Ltd. – later named Colony Major Appliance and Mattress Warehouse. It continues to thrive today after 44 years of his leadership. Jim loved Colony, his customers, the appliance business, and serving multiple generations of families on the North Shore.

In his spare time, Jim spent many summers at his cabin “Dunworkun” at Gun Lake, B.C. which he loved so much.

Throughout his life, Jim also loved to travel, seeing many wonderful places across the globe, but BC and North Vancouver were always his home. At this time, the family would like to thank the Colony Staff for their kindness and cooperation during Jim’s illness, and to his large circle of extended family, friends and colleagues for their ongoing support. We also thank the staff at LGH for their excellent care of Jim during the last few weeks, and special thanks to Dr. Lakha for her wonderful and compassionate care.

A Celebration of Jim’s Life will be held at Seymour Golf & Country Club, 3723 Mount Seymour Parkway, North Vancouver on Sunday, June 2, 2013 from 12 noon to 3 p.m.
