NV donations save Filipina barista’s life

Temporary worker sent back to Philippines gets kidney transplant after NV fundraising Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

FOR Janette Camba, coffee turned out to be very, very good for her health.

The former North Vancouver barista can thank that morning cup of java — or more precisely, those of her former customers at the Queen’s Road Tim Hortons — for playing a significant part in saving her life.

Camba, who was a familiar face at the coffee shop for more than three years, is now back in her home country of the Philippines, recovering from a life-saving kidney transplant, paid for by almost $30,000 in donations raised in North Vancouver.

“The story has a happy ending,” said Robert Naughton, Camba’s former boss and owner of three Tim Hortons coffee shops in North Vancouver. “I feel very thankful for that.”

That wasn’t always the way Camba’s saga was heading.

When Camba arrived in Canada in July 2008, she was in good health, having passed the medical exam required as part of her visa application. She went to work right away at Tim Hortons, which had sponsored her temporary foreign worker visa.

But within six months, Camba’s health deteriorated and she was diagnosed with rapidly progressing kidney disease, with her organs quickly losing function.

She was soon undergoing hemodialysis at St. Paul’s Hospital three times a week.

Although Camba could no longer work throughout the ordeal, Naughton continued to apply for permit extensions, knowing that if Camba were forced See Younger page 5

Playground shelters a nice-to-have: school board Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

IF North Vancouver students are to be kept out of the winter rains during their outside play time, it’s not going to be the school board or the province paying for it.

That’s the result of a policy adopted by the school district in late May that groups sheltered areas in schoolyards in with interactive playgrounds, outdoor classrooms and learning gardens as “enhanced features.”

When building or planning for new schools, the board “will consider” such features, according to the policy, but the board acknowledges those costs can be over and above the approved capital budget for the school.

“In these instances, additional sources of funding, such as parent fundraising See Annual page 11

WEST VANCOUVER VICTIM SERVICES

Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

Comfort in crisis

WHEN a West Vancouver police officer knocks on a front door to deliver news that will shatter a person’s life, it’s the volunteers in the Victim Services unit that are there to immediately start picking up the pieces.

The little-known corps of 31 volunteers, headed up by coordinator Bunny Brown, is now in its 18th year of reaching out, literally and figuratively, to those who have been traumatized by violence, the sudden death of a loved or another great loss — even those who were simply witnesses to an awful event.

Two Victim Services volunteers are on call for 12-hour shifts, 24 hours a day ready to be dispatched to a crime scene or the home of a victim. Last year, police called on their services 88 times.

“One of my beliefs is I’d rather be called and not needed than to be needed and not called. It’s OK with us if they call us at 3 a.m. and, all of a sudden, they don’t need us,” Brown said.

“My favourite slogan is ‘Be there when being there is all that’s needed.”

When Brown or one of the volunteers makes contact with a client, the first task is offering emotional support, which largely entails validating their emotions — anger, sadness, confusion — and letting them know they have a right to feel that way.

“It sounds like it’s not that crucial but it really is. That short-term emotional support is just as vital as someone in a car accident getting immediate medical support because if you don’t have someone there to validate what you’re going through you can sometimes feel like you’re losing your mind,” Brown said.

Indeed, a person struck by the sudden shock of grief may become forgetful, even of extremely important things, while processing the loss. Years ago, Brown accompanied a constable to do a death notification for a woman whose husband had been killed in a car accident.

“We were informing the wife of her husband’s passing, and I know they had children and pets, and I said to her ‘What time do the children get out of school?’ and she panicked and said ‘Oh my god, I have to pick the kids up from school,’” Brown said.

“She wasn’t focusing on her regular day-to-day things because there was something else that had taken place.”

VS volunteers stick by their clients in the early hours after an event to help with the practical things, making sure they’re taking their medication, helping them contact family and friends for ongoing emotional support and helping them get their footing for the next steps.

Having a VS member present helps more than the client, it’s often critical for the officer on the scene. As a former beat cop and member of the Integrated First Nations unit, WVPD spokesman Const. Jeff Palmer has been tasked with death notifications

several times.

Not only is it hard to be the bearer of the worst news possible, the officer must also take care of police business, which is not the same as offering comfort, Palmer said.

“It’s very, very difficult. The best way to describe it is this: You can’t make it better for the person, but if you handle it in the best way possible and with the support of a Victim Services person there, you can prevent it from becoming a lot worse,” he said.

“Obviously we feel the human need for these people to be supported, but we have specific investigative needs that we have to deal with so this allows us as officers to focus on the investigative side while having the comfort of knowing the human side is taken care of.”

Once the immediacy of the crisis is over, the Victim Services folks stay in contact to help with the challenges that lie ahead. If someone has been the victim of a crime, a volunteer will assist them as the case winds through the court process, which can often feel like being victimized again. They help the victims understand each step, which can be baffling to an outsider. Volunteers also attend funerals in the name of “being there” which clients often find comforting. Because of the harrowing nature of loss and victimhood, the relationship can go on for a year or more.

“You end up sometimes being like a lifeline and you don’t want to sever that lifeline until you know that they’re OK and moving forward,” said Judy, a West Vancouver VS member.

Volunteers are only ever addressed by their first names.

Regardless of training or life experience, there is no way to predict how someone in trauma will react and any number of things influence that. Culture is a big one.

Diane, another longtime VS volunteer, was once tasked with trying to placate and restrain a Chinese-Canadian woman who came home to discover her husband was dead. The woman desperately wanted to throw herself onto her husband’s body, which is not permitted while police are awaiting the B.C. Coroners Service to arrive and investigate.

“It wasn’t until later on in the week when I spoke to her daughter that I found out the reason why she was so distraught.

In that culture, the spirit is still with the body and you should be there. We weren’t aware of that. A lot of things come into play,” Diane said.

Today, the unit has volunteers fluent in Farsi, Cantonese, Korean, Polish, German and Dutch.

Once VS has made contact, they often find they’re only scratching the surface when much deeper help is needed, Brown said “There are always other things involved. Nobody has this idyllic, perfect life and all of a sudden, whoops, this one thing happens to them,” she said.

Officers once called Brown to the scene of a break-and-enter, which was strange as VS workers are rarely dispatched for minor property crimes. When she arrived, the victim was sitting on the couch, nearly catatonic. Brown spent the next three hours, gently

encouraging her to speak.

“She finally started talking to me. The first thing she saw when she walked in and opened her bedroom door was that all of her underwear had been taken out of the drawer and thrown around her room. This woman had been sexually assaulted when she was in university and it just brought it all back,” Brown said.

“The more we talked, the more we realized she never got a lot of support or a lot of counselling following that sexual assault.

It was kind of just left there. She was carrying that around with her.”

The group also ends up being the first to help when emergency services are dealing with at-risk youth, seniors with dementia, or people with mental illness.

While they aren’t counsellors, VS volunteers can get their clients linked up with a myriad of services, depending on their needs and what is available. But resources are limited, government programs lose funding and disappear and sometimes, for all their efforts, there just isn’t the right kind of help available, especially when the victim or traumatized person suffers from mental illness or poverty.

“There are people who are living on $212 a month and can’t pay their bills and can’t buy groceries,” Brown said. “We have those frustrating situations where there’s not enough resources in some areas.”

“And this on the North Shore. This is in West Van,” Diane added.

To a layperson, this is a staggering task — attempting to console the inconsolable and putting one’s self in a stranger’s nightmare. But for the special kinds of people that are called to do the job, it comes with great satisfaction.

“It’s extremely rewarding work. It really is. . . . It is a privilege to be with people when they’re going through probably the worst time of their life. You feel very honoured to be there at that time,” Brown said. “But until you’ve experienced that, you don’t realize that.”

Once, while comforting a distraught woman whose husband’s dead body lay just few feet away, Diane felt something most would call counterintuitive.

“I sat with her on the floor with her husband and just held her hand, stroked her back, talked with her about her husband and I came away thinking, what a privilege that was for me to have been, at that time, with her when nobody else was there.”

But sometimes there is a price to pay. The VS team, for all their composure in the face of distress, can’t help but take the hurt home with them in some cases.

After taking a particularly difficult phone call from a client while at the West Vancouver police headquarters, Diane put the phone down as a constable walked by and saw her in tears.

“She looked at me and said ‘Victim Services need Victims Services sometimes too, don’t they?’ I said ‘Yeah, that’s why we See Unpaid page 9

Younger sister donates kidney From page 1

out of the country, she could die. But eventually, Camba’s illness prompted the Canadian government to cancel her visa, forcing her to return to the Philippines.

“I got a phone call from hospital,” recalled Naughton.

“They said, ‘You realize if Janette goes home, if she doesn’t receive treatment within 10 days she will die.’”

Naughton knew that Camba had no medical coverage and no way to pay for a transplant or hemodialysis. With the date of Camba’s departure looming, Naughton sought the permission of Tim Hortons and launched a desperate last-ditch fundraising effort to save her life.

The response, he said, was overwhelming. “She was very well-liked and quite loved actually,” he said. “People were very generous.”

The campaign managed to raise $29,000 in about six weeks last fall.

Camba, however, wasn’t out of the woods yet.

While her brother had volunteered to donate one of his kidneys, tests revealed he wasn’t a good match. New tests were ordered for Camba’s younger sister, who also volunteered to donate a kidney. This time, the match was perfect.

“Everything was lined up for her to have the operation and she got a bad infection,” said Naughton. That delayed the procedure again.

In the meantime, the money raised for the operation was going to pay for the hemodialysis needed to keep Camba alive.

“I got nervous at the end,” said Naughton, as the funds began to dwindle. “We just made it.”

In January of this year, however, the transplant operation finally went ahead,

paid for by the North Vancouver fundraiser.

It was a success, said Naughton, and Camba is recovering well.

Cambahaskeptintouchwith her old friends and colleagues from North Vancouver. “She was emailing us from the hospital,” he said.

Another Tim Hortons employee recently went back to the Philippines for a visit, and stopped in to see Camba while he was there.

“He came back and told us she looked great and was doing well,” said Naughton.

Naughton added while he’d love to bring Camba back to Canada, realistically that’s unlikely with her medical needs.

“She has to take medication for the rest of her life,” he said.

Camba still struggles to pay for the anti-rejection drugs she must take, he said.

If not for the money raised here, she definitely could not

have paid for the operation or for continued hemodialysis, he said — and there are no other options in her country.

Alvin Koh Relleve, a North Vancouver resident and leader in the local Filipino community, said sadly, Camba’s situation is common to those without private health insurance in the Philippines. While those who can pay — including increasing numbers of western “medical tourists” — have access to topquality care in his home country, those who don’t have the cash are usually out of luck.

As part of his work in the Filipino community, Relleve has been promoting a health care insurance program available to Filipino foreign workers both in Canada and around the globe.

For about $20 a month — paid by the worker in Canada — the company provides health care benefits to dependent family members back home in the Philippines.

Council debates 1300-blk Monday Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

WEST Vancouverites with an Ambleside opinion have at least one more chance to be heard this Monday as council considers pushing the Grosvenor proposal one step closer to reality.

After approximately 15 months of design and debate, the international development group has settled on two terraced mid-rises peaking at 79 and 68 feet, respectively, in the 1300-block of Marine Drive. The buildings would be joined by a galleria and comprise approximately 100 apartments with an average of 1,771 square feet.

Council is slated to vote on advancing the

project to the formal development consideration process, leaving district staff to iron out the finer details with Grosvenor.

Architectural refinements set to be worked out include modifying building heights, making each tower architecturally distinct, and possibly using part of the second floor for office space.

The project has been hailed as Ambleside’s saviour and assailed as being out of step with the neighbourhood’s village character.

Mayor Michael Smith has championed the project, calling on detractors to find another way to add $40 million to the district’s coffers, thus funding the public safety building.

If approved, the proposal will likely return to council July 22.

Final approval of the $37-million project would formalize Grosvenor ownership of the block currently occupied by the police station.

Does Skin Care Cause CANCER? According to numerous sources including www. breastcancerfund.org, there are many cancer causing ingredients, such as parabens being used in modern skincare.

People have become concerned aboutwhattheirskinisabsorbing from beauty products.

Buyer Beware. Many companies have jumped on the “natural” band wagon promoting purity.

However, to call a product natural it only has to legally contain10%naturalingredients.

Pass the pork S

INCE the election, Premier Christy Clark has been talking a lot about restraint.

She’s opined on the need to contain costs and preached the gospel of fiscal discipline.

Don’t ask the government for money, is the message being sent. Because the answers will be “No, no and no.”

Turns out, however, that while all animals are equal, some are more equal than others — particularly Clark’s loyal party insiders.

No sooner had the premier finished telling everyone they’d need to tighten their belts and suck it up, than it was revealed she’d wasted little time cushioning the blows for some favoured bureaucrats.

Some of her political staff will see their salary caps jump to $230,000.

Raises range from 18 per cent to 60

per cent for the elite, who helped Clark pull off her stunning election victory.

Ministerial assistants will also see their maximum salaries go up to $105,000 — a raise of 11 per cent.

Politically, it’s undoubtedly smart to make such a cynical move as early as possible. The increases will soon be eclipsed by the budget, which itself will soon fall prey to the summer break and general political amnesia.

But the pay hikes are no less offensive.

At a time when a “core review” threatens civil service cuts and seniors in extended care homes are being charged for wheelchairs, it behooves those at the top to set an example.

Instead, Clark has made it clear just who will be experiencing restraint and who will be practising business as usual.

LV density opponents meet Tuesday Dear Editor: Many Lynn Valley residents are extremely upset about the high density the District of North Vancouver plans to impose on our community and the manipulative methods being used to make it happen.

Mayor and council appear to be promoting development instead of representing the people who elected them and who pay their salaries.

To stop this short-sighted plan and ensure reasonable growth that preserves our beautiful community environment, we need the voices of as many residents as possible.

Please show your support and join other concerned residents at our upcoming meeting at the Lynn Valley recreation centre (Frederick and Mountain Highway) on Tuesday, June 18 at 8 p.m.

Put Valley plans to referendum Centre, really? One can only imagine the traffic congestion! It’s busy enough already on the two main arteries, and we currently have plenty of single family homes being redeveloped into townhomes/apartments and densifying the neighbourhood.

I suggest a more modest proposal, redevelop the mall, put in several midsize towers, say five-six storeys max, enough to house 1,000-1,500 people. Anything

else will destroy the character of our neighbourhood. Does anybody in this company (Bosa) or any of the district planners even live in Lynn Valley?

How about we have a referendum on this proposal for everybody living north of the highway and west to Williams Road?

Let the people of Lynn Valley decide.

Lynn Valley’s road system and transit is already inadequate

Black raspberries lost

Dear Editor: As a long time resident of Lynn Valley I went along to see the open house on the development of Lynn Valley’s centre.

The developers and council propose four options — all of which include 4,9005,300 people.

I suggest another option — how about none of the above?

Five thousand people in Lynn Valley

Dear Editor: The “proposed” redevelopment of Lynn Valley is not in alignment with the Regional Growth Strategy — which we are not required to follow, in any case — to encourage density along major transit lines.

Lynn Valley is not on a major traffic corridor — quite the opposite. There is no transit service on Sundays after 6:30 p.m. Nobody drives through Lynn Valley by car unless they want this to be their destination.

Bosa and Safeway are proposing is not in keeping with what we Lynn Valleyites hold so dear. We want to keep the character of our community. We are the voters and the citizens who live here now and our voices need to be heard.

The people of Lynn Valley do not want highrises and we do not want thousands more people coming in and out of our community on an already congested road system with inadequate public transportation.

Dear Editor: Letter writer Richard Kuehnel makes a well-founded point in his June 7 letter, Save Wild Edibles; ‘Adopt a Patch,’.

Halfway down our street in the late ’80s, I discovered a small black raspberry patch. I was thrilled to make such a discovery here in the “urban wilderness.”

I thoroughly enjoyed picking a small bowlful on weekend mornings to augment my morning cereal. Unfortunately, someone, either a neighbour or district staff, cut the bushes down and eradicated them a year or so after that. They have never returned, and as Kuehnel points out, we are all much poorer for the loss.

Time to arrest the usual suspects

SOMEBODY broke into my car while I was walking my dog at Lynn Headwaters the other day, smashing the passenger seat window and grabbing my purse and a freshly purchased bottle of Diet Coke.

I blame Rob Ford.

The fingerprints of the Mayor of Toronto were all over the crime — not literally, but that’s neither here nor there. He probably wore gloves, maybe even opera gloves, so he wouldn’t cut his arm on all the broken glass.

In any case, there was no sign of blood or hair so DNA evidence isn’t available.

More importantly, Ford looks like he drinks Coke, and it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that he might sometimes choose the diet brand. While he’s often in Toronto, he’s had good reason in recent weeks to seek the calming forests of North Vancouver.

He’s probably a little worried about money, too, given the uncertainty regarding his job. A stealing spree might have been just what the doctor ordered.

You’re aware that Ford was videotaped smoking crack

Kate Zimmerman cocaine in the company of known drug dealers. Some people like to say he was “allegedly” videotaped, but most dispense with the term because Ford is a noted jackass, and jackasses and crack pipes go together like Diet Coke and bacon-loaded cheeseburgers.

Three people have seen this video, but nobody can produce it, however hard they try. Nevertheless, much of the public has deemed Ford guilty, because he’s a jerk and his brother dealt hashish 30 years ago. Again, I could use the term “allegedly,” but I have a firm word count for this column and in these halcyon days of democratic journalism, having to prove things is a waste of time.

Here’s how I’m pretty sure the theft went down.

I got out of the car with my dog, her leash, and her ball one afternoon last week, and ambled down the stairs to the Varley Trail. It was at that point that Ford and whatever nefarious companion he’d picked up on the way into town from the airport on the SkyTrain hopped off their stolen bicycles wearing backpacks.

While his companion smoked crack, ate hash brownies, and drank from a gigantic vat of pop in blatant disregard of local custom, Ford peered into my car to scope out the booty.

The fact that I had cleverly heaped grocery bags over my purse was no deterrent to his shrewd mind and base criminal impulses.

Between crack puffs, Ford’s friend took a hammer out of his backpack and handed it to the mayor, who had just finished putting on his mother’s velvet opera gloves.

“Here ya go, Yer Worship,” said the local gangsta.

In one sharp motion, Ford smashed the window.

Brushing aside the glass, he reached inside and grabbed the branded grocery bags.

to Vancouver and a peaceful walk at Lynn Headwaters, where, on her way back to her limousine, she caught a glimpse of my purse under the grocery bags.

“I must have it. I’m Pamela Wallin!” she indubitably shouted. She asked the limo driver to give the window a quick kick and then she demurely reached in and took the purse, also lifting the Diet Coke to present to her driver as a gift.

Duffy’s my last suspect.

His scuttling about in the face of numerous accusations of fudged expense claims, false home occupancies and a weird bailout from Nigel Wright have been unbecoming, even to a former reporter.

While I can’t vouch for the likelihood of him walking anywhere, much less Lynn Headwaters, he may have stopped at End of the Line General Store for a latte and needed somewhere private to drink it. I see him parking his SUV beside my car in the overflow lot, looking down into my Honda and spotting the promising grocery bags.

“Mmm, a free lunch,” he likely said, drooling.

“What’s Fresh Market?” he asked.

“No idea, dude.”

Ford tossed the empty bags into the back seat. His eyes lit up. “Bingo! A purse!” he cried.

“It’s obviously not real leather,” his partner in crime pointed out unnecessarily.

“Shaddap,” said Toronto’s mayor. “There’s a wallet in it — that’s good enough for me. No money, but loads of cards. Can you use credit cards for crack in Vancouver?”

“No, but you can use ’em to get money to buy crack,” replied his friend in a reasonable tone.

Ford tossed the purse into his pal’s backpack. Then, with some effort, he clambered onto his bike and the pair pedalled down the road, cackling.

If it wasn’t Ford who done the dirty deed, it must have been senators Mike Duffy or Pamela Wallin.

She probably did it for my lipstick red purse, which any self-respecting fashion maven would find irresistible.

Wallin currently has to keep her purchases modest due to some controversy regarding her Senate expenses, which is hard cheese.

I see her seeking solace from her worries with a trip

Unpaid volunteers complete 60 hours training From page 3

have one another,” Diane said.

There’s also Trauma Bear, a giant teddy bear donning a police cap in the Victim Services office, who’s always available for a hug, which even officers have been known to take him up on.

Brown and the rest of the team welcomed the newest members to Victim Services at a graduation ceremony on Wednesday night.

To make the cut, the volunteers were screened based on their readiness for the task and the skills they could bring. They then had to complete 60 hours of classroom training covering a range of topics including property crime, sudden death, suicides, the court system, mental health, and cross-cultural training. Once the class work is done, the volunteers start shadowing other more experienced volunteers and do a ridealong with a police officer

before they’re ready to start as a back-up VS volunteer in the field.

The type of people the program attracts is as diverse as the calls they respond to, Brown said. Some are young folks looking to get experience that will help them into a career in policing or social work. Others have had first-hand experience dealing with VS after a tragedy in their own life and want to pass along the favour to someone else.

“But the largest percentage are people who want to go to a volunteer job where they feel they are actually helping,” Brown said. “I think a lot of people in the program are chronic volunteers. Some of them have two or three different volunteer positions that they do, but this one seems to be one people really relate to and feel they’re contributing with.”

The province and the District of West Vancouver cover the team’s budget, which covers one full-time staff position, one

part-time assistant and the team’s training and resources.

They do accept donations via the West Vancouver Foundation but only to cover registration fees at training events.

But sadly, or perhaps appropriately, most people have never heard of Victim Services or the work they do until there’s the police officer knocking on their door, Brown said.

Without the humanitarian desire to give of one’s self when a stranger in the community is in need, the program would not be possible.

“Remember, these are volunteers. People who do this on their own, not because they get a paycheque,” Brown said.

That fact is still baffling to the police who rely on them.

“We never stop being amazed,” said Palmer. “It’s like, ‘Oh my god, you could be relaxing at home, and you’re volunteering to come out and provide this.’ It’s kind of boggling that people are willing to do that and it’s an amazing resource.

Bear wrecks car, avoids riot charges IT wasn’t a bait car, but a West Vancouver sedan is missing some trim and covered in bear paw scratches after a curious bruin tried get in sometime Wednesday night,

The incident happened on the 500-block of Craigmohr Road.

Damage included the side mirrors torn off, dents in the doors and roof, extensive paw and claw marks, and both driver and passenger doors bent and pulled partly open. There was apparently nothing to attract the bear to the vehicle, police say.

While police, the car’s owner and possibly ICBC may never know about what led the bear to try to open the car like a tuna can, Tony Webb, chairman of the North Shore Black Bear Society has some ideas. Curiosity over a smell will motivate a bear to go to great effort.

If the car’s owner was wearing citronella bug repellent, perfume or had recently fuelled the car up and spilled some gasoline, that would be enough, Webb said. “If there’s a bear around, he’ll pick that up half a mile away or more,” he said.

There’s even some chance it was “new car smell,” which may confuse the bear’s senses. They are known to bite into hot tub covers, which have a scent bears perceive as similar to smell of ant hills.

The one smell they don’t care for? Us.

Walk with the North Shore Schizophrenia Society

“Bears are aware of us because we’ve been so awful to bears over the centuries,” Webb said.

While we are well into bear season on the North Shore, it’s important to do our best to put away anything that may draw bears in, for their safety as well as ours. There are about three bear-related injuries reported each year in B.C. “Considering there are thousands of encounters in British Columbia with bears every year, I think that’s very, very low,” said Webb.

Annual precipitation data misses funding mark From page 1

and/or corporate and government grants may be required to address the initial and ongoing costs of these enhancements,” the policy states.

“The board deems schools responsible for the initiation and development of proposed site enhancements and any related costs.”

The unanimous school board decision comes as a disappointment to members of the Cover our Kids campaign, a group of parents lobbying to see that all North Vancouver schools are built with the sheltered play areas commonly included in older North Van schools.

“The whole question we were trying to get across in the beginning was ‘Why is this now not a priority?’ All the old North Van schools had covered areas,” said Erin MacNair, Cover our Kids member and a Highlands elementary

mom. That school was recently rebuilt without a covered area.

“By lumping it in with the outdoor spaces, I do think the issue is diluted and probably will not get the focus we were looking for,” MacNair said.

The Ministry of Education will provide funding for sheltered areas if the board can demonstrate it has 2,000 millimetres in annual precipitation, which the North Shore has and then some, according to data MacNair pulled from Environment Canada.

However, the board used data from the National Research Council that showed North Vancouver precipitation just below that mark.

Putting the onus on parent advisory committees to raise cash — about $150,000 for a proposed shelter at Highlands, is unfair said MacNair, as the PACs are already putting

in overtime to raise money for other school equipment.

“There’s something wrong with this. Why are the parents expected to come up with all of this money when the parents are trying to tell the people who are building the schools, they were always built this way for a reason. Don’t take them away,” MacNair said.

But the board has many “wants” to contend with and setting the policy is meant to give the board the tools it needs to deal with all of them fairly, according to board chairwoman Franci Stratton.

“The intention of the policy was to further

support and guide the board’s process for addressing the competing demands placed on us in terms of funding, particularly in regards to site enhancements, which would include playground installations, teaching gardens and covered play areas,” Stratton said.

“The board appreciates the work the Highland parents group has done. It’s all about the kids and they’re passionate about their position.

“We’re not always going to come to the same conclusions but they have to know we’re all working towards the same goals and that is our students.”

LIONS GATE HOSPITAL FOUNDATION RAISES $3.5M IN SUPPORT OF NEW SUITE

Endoscopy unit opens its doors

Erin McPhee emcphee@nsnews.com

THANKS to the generosity of local supporters, Lions Gate Hospital is home to a new endoscopy suite, viewed as a major step forward for cancer screening on the North Shore.

HEALTH NOTES page 15

The three-room unit, having been relocated, renovated and equipped with new and state of the art equipment, was made possible through a successful fundraising campaign undertaken by the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation over the last two years, raising $3.5 million from more than 4,200 donors.

“The goal for this was to establish a new three-room unit where we do endoscopy, by the general surgeons, by the gastroenterologists, by the bronchoscopists — these are people who do lung examinations — and pediatric gastroenterology as well. So it’s a multi-functional unit,” says Dr. Michael Hahn, director of endoscopy and head of the division of gastroenterology at Lions Gate Hospital.

The foundation supports a variety of aspects of medical care, from one specialty to another.

“I think they chose this because of need,” says Hahn, explaining Lions Gate Hospital already had a suite dedicated to endoscopy, however it was “very ancient.”

“There are safety issues about patients, and assurance of cleansing of equipment. As we go on and on, we were becoming a little concerned that our place, currently, was a bit aged and needed an uplift and at the same time, needed an enhanced delivery of how we provide care to the patients,” he says.

The new unit is hoped to provide increased access for patients, allowing more people to be served, as well as to get their required examinations done in a more timely manner, thereby

Lions Gate currently performs approximately 45 endoscopic procedures per day and they’re hoping to be able to increase that by 12-15 per day

with the new unit.

Other intended advantages of the new unit include enhanced safety, privacy and an overall better quality of care and experience for patients in their

encounters with the health care team.

“The advantage of the new unit is they will come into their own private cubicle, they’ll have their own place to change,

they’ll have their own place to discuss in private with their admitting nurse. From that point of view it’s a much better way of See June page 14

June 23 walk to unite local Persian and Canadian communities From page 13 delivering, I think, personalized care to patients in a more private setting,” says Hahn.

The unit comes on the heels of a new provincial Colon Screening Program (screeningbc.ca) promoting early detection and prevention of colon cancer (the second deadliest cancer in B.C.) launched in April. The program follows a successful pilot trial, Colon Check, launched in 2009. As part of the new program, doctors will refer B.C. residents between the ages of 50 and 74 to complete a FIT (fecal immunochemical test), which can be completed in the comfort of their own home, every two years, according to the B.C. Cancer Agency.

“By doing what we’ve done to change the way that endoscopy is going to be done, it just means an increased efficiency in being able to attend to all these extra needs of the higher load of patients,” says Hahn.

Currently, Lions Gate performs approximately 6,700 colonoscopies a year. With the new unit, they hope to be able to complete an additional 2,600.

“Without the foundation we would never be able to do any of these things. Without the people who support the foundation we wouldn’t be able to do these things either. We’re very fortunate to have a very strong foundation that are very committed to enhancing the care and delivery of health care to our regional citizens,” he says.

An opening event was held June 8, with more than 100 guests in attendance. The new unit will begin serving patients June 24.

One of the North Shore residents who supported the foundation’s endoscopy campaign was North Vancouver resident and notary public Katy Roohani. She did so in honour of her husband, Soheil, a well-known North Shore Realtor, who passed away July 2, 2012, at age 67, following a diagnosis with lung cancer.

Soheil received his diagnosis in 2006, underwent surgery and was believed to be cancer-free.

“About a month or so before it came to the five-year period, it came back and unfortunately, he fought very hard, but they couldn’t

FOLLOWING the death of her husband, Soheil, last year, Katy Roohani raised $30,000 in support of a new endoscopy unit at Lions Gate Hospital, and is presenting the inaugural Persian and Canadian Walk for Cancer in his memory, Sunday, June 23, ending at Mahon Park, with proceeds benefitting the hospital foundation’s oncology fund. save him,” says Katy, 52.

“He was the love of my life. We were married for 30 years. He wasn’t only the love of my life, every single person that he came in contact with loved him. (No one) has one bad word to say about him. He was the most considerate, nice, loving, kind person that you can imagine,” she says.

As Soheil had been a patient at Lions Gate and out of an interest in honouring the kindness and generosity he’d shown to others,

Katy rallied she and Soheil’s friends, colleagues and family members and raised more than $30,000 in support of the new endoscopy unit.

In gratitude, a patient admitting space has been named in honour of Soheil. “This way his memory is going to be there and anybody who goes to the hospital will see that because of him, something good was done,” she says.

THANK YOU! Family Services of the North Shore Youth Leadership Advisory Board

We are so proud of the work our YouthLAB volunteers have done over the past year!

The Youth Leadership Advisory Board (Youth LAB), launched in September 2012, recruited 10 exceptional youth from across the North Shore to work with Family Services of the North Shore staff to find creative ways to reach at risk youth who are struggling with mental health issues (anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, eating disorders and bullying).

They created a very powerful video presentation (check it out on our You Tube channel), spoke with over 180 youth, and used social media to create awareness about the issues. Their work also included a communications strategy that reduces stigma and encourages youth to get the help they need.

Interested in continuing to honour her husband’s memory, Katy has organized the inaugural Persian and Canadian Walk for Cancer, Sunday, June 23, with proceeds benefitting Lions Gate Hospital Foundation’s oncology fund. “I’m hoping this will bring the Persian and Canadian community more together,” she says.

“Cancer knows no boundaries. It affects all of us. All of us have been touched by the loss of a loved one. So if you want to be part of the fight to end it, join us,” she adds.

The Persian and Canadian Walk for Cancer will start at the Centennial Theatre parking lot at 10 a.m. and participants will proceed to Mahon Park. Registration ($25, however community residents are encouraged to attend whether they pay or not) will begin at 9:30 a.m. Live music and other festivities will follow.

North Van lawyer shares her expertise Memory Lane

Laura Anderson “IS my will valid if it is not registered?”

NEWS photo Paul McGrath

FOLLOWING her retirement from the law, North Vancouver’s Jackie Morris established the North Shore Seniors’ Legal Advice and Referral Clinic.

To answer such questions, Jackie Morris established the North Shore Seniors’ Legal Advice and Referral Clinic.

Ten years ago, Jackie had retired from the law. She was ready to return to work within a couple of years, this time on her terms. No more commuting, the practice would be on the North Shore. It would specialize in Jackie’s areas of interest: wills and estate planning. There would be time for gardening and fitness and travel. All the boxes appeared to be ticked but something was missing. Jackie was looking for a way to give back.

She found it at an aquacize class. One of Jackie’s water mates posed, “a question I’ve

been wanting to ask: ‘Is my will valid if it is not registered?’” “‘The short answer,’ I said, ‘is yes.’” Jackie goes on, “I realized there was a need for a place where these types of questions could be addressed.”

The need was there. Few of us, including seniors, require regular legal counsel. “That’s as it should be,” she says, “Legal advice is the kind of thing you need when you need it. People are reluctant to call a lawyer when often all they need is a simple answer to a simple question.”

In 2005, the clinic opened at Silver Harbour Seniors’ Activity Centre, which provides space and whose staff is the first contact. North Shore lawyers volunteer their time every Thursday by appointment and without charge. “People come in prepared,” says Jackie. “Their questions are in order and their documents are organized. That really helps us help them.”

Questions about estate planning, finances and consumer issues are most frequently asked at the free weekly clinics.

Specialized or complex issues get referred to community agencies, lawyers and mediators, accountants and other professionals practising on the North Shore.

The volunteers do not anticipate a spike in queries

resulting from Elder Abuse Awareness Day, marked June 15. “The clinic is a good place to start, however,” says Jackie.

“We can discuss options and connect people with services.

All visits are confidential, of course.”

Originally from the United States, Jackie and her husband, Jim, moved to Victoria

where she taught math. They relocated to Vancouver in the 1980s and Jackie graduated from law at the University of British Columbia. By 1989, the family, now including two children, were living in North Vancouver, first Norgate and then Upper Lonsdale.

Summer Update Open House: New William Griffin Community Recreation Centre

Behind the Scenes is back at Maplewood Farm

Drop in and check out what progress has been made on the New William Griffin Community Recreation Centre. We’ll have schematic designs on display and project team members will be on hand to answer your questions.

How interesting would it be if you could be a farmer for an hour? Maplewood Farm’s most popular event, “Behind the Scenes”, offers you and your children a wonderful experience being a farmer at Maplewood Farm. Activities include egg collection and washing, animal grooming, setting up feed, and exploring “Staff Only” areas. Sessions last for about one hour, but the memories will last all summer long. Summer sessions run at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on June 18 and 22, July 23 and 27, and August 20 and 24.

SENIORS

Gardening a strong passion From page 19

The family lives on Tempe Crescent, a former “skid row” (in the logging sense of the term) used to move timber from the slopes of Grouse Mountain to the North Vancouver sawmills. Their 1920s home is lovingly restored on the inside, while the outside is a gardener’s dream, a testament to Jackie’s other passion.

A blend of native plants, bee- and butterfly-attracting flowers, fruit trees, berries and vegetables, the garden surrounds the house and extends to a terraced pathway that links 28th Street with Tempe

Crescent. “We wanted to protect our garden from invasive plants,” says Jackie, “and the project grew from there.”

With the approval of the City of North Vancouver in 2009, the plants were removed and the land laid fallow to ensure no stray seeds or roots would take hold. Two years ago, the garden began to take shape around the stairway of brick and stone that Jackie designed. The result is beautiful, functional and always changing.

Neighbours, children especially, are encouraged to help themselves to the strawberries — producing currently — and to the veggies that will appear

throughout the season.

“People come by when we’re working in the garden,” says Jackie. “They want to know about this plant or that and will it grow in their garden.”

The neighbours may not be aware they’re getting advice from a master gardener and longtime member of the Lynn Valley Garden Club. The Morrises like to keep things low-key.

With a free legal clinic for seniors and the gift of the Tempe Crescent garden path, Jackie Morris has given back to her community. However, she has done even more. The garden pathway encourages local participation and pride.

Volunteers share their skills at the legal clinic. With the Morris method, everyone benefits.

For information about the North Shore Seniors’ Legal Advice and Referral Clinic, call Silver Harbour at 604-9802474.

Laura Anderson works with and for seniors on the North Shore.

Plan your retirement before gifting Gen Y THE offspring of the Baby Boomer generation have been making the headlines for all the wrong reasons lately.

Although definitions vary, generally anyone born from the early 1980s up until the year 2000 are considered to fall into the millennial category, also known as Generation Y. They have a reputation for relying too heavily on the bank of Mom and Dad and they can be a real financial drain that significantly impacts their parents’ retirement plans.

Like any generation that

the national average, Baby Boomers find themselves supporting their children until a much later stage in life than previous generations.

Many of our clients want to help their millennial children financially when they see their children struggling to get their “start” in life. Gifting money to your children early to buy real estate or fund further education can be a great idea and we often recommend this to clients. There can also be additional benefits such as tax savings and the satisfaction of seeing your kids enjoy their inheritance early.

common traits. They tend to spend more than they earn and live on credit, a reverse from the days when people had to save up before making a purchase. Generation Y grew up in the aftermath of 9/11 when many adopted an attitude of “living for today,” so immediate gratification became the norm. Reality TV shows and celebrity culture certainly don’t help this.

They also tend to live at home longer than they should, due to high real estate costs and a weak job market. With youth unemployment as high as 14 per cent, twice that of

While early gifting is often a great idea, there can be unintended consequences when you don’t receive qualified tax advice or have a detailed financial plan in place. We stress the “qualified” portion of that sentence as we have seen a situation for example, where inadequate advice from an accountant resulted in the parents paying $134,000 in extra taxes because things were not structured correctly from the beginning! It was disappointing as all of this extra tax could have been avoided had they had better advice at the start.

Ideally in retirement, you want to have more money than you will spend in your lifetime.

When planning, you should also include a cushion for the unknown such as an expensive retirement home, unforeseen medical situations as well as future economic changes such

as high inflation which could diminish your purchasing power.

Your financial plan should provide a clear overview of your future financial situation so that you can make an informed decision before giving money to your millennial children and ensure that you have enough left over for a happy and stress-free retirement.

Some veggies are better ■ 50 Best Plants on the Planet, by Cathy Thomas, Chronicle Books, 352 pages, $34.95

THERE is no doubt that fruits and vegetables should be an important part of everyone’s diet but not all of them are created equal.

Even with plant-based food selections there are better choices to be made for the best nutrient dense foods.

Nutritionist Cathy Thomas has put together a top 50 list with detailed information on each of the food items selected.

Every fruit and vegetable that

has been included is presented with its nutritional value, health benefits, tips on storage and preparation, and more.

There are several recipes for each of the top 50 list and all are accompanied by colour photographs and cooking instructions.

This past week, MLA Ben Stewart relinquished his convincingly decided Westside-Kelowna riding to give Premier Christy Clark a pretty solid chance at winning a seat.

Stewart is also a founder and co-owner of Quails Gate Estate Winery, although he has dutifully distanced himself from its operation since being first elected in 2009. Once free from cabinet, however, he was quick to comment on the need to bring B.C.’s lagging liquor laws up to speed.

They “need to be modernized so they’re easy to understand, easy to enforce compliance and we (can) streamline regulations,” Stewart told The Globe and Mail.

All this was unfolding the day after the major B.C. VQA spring release (below).

Aside from the main event, another highlight was a tasting organized by Rhys Pender, which showed how B.C. wines stack up beside comparable bottles from elsewhere in terms of quality and price.

One of the first people, if not the first, to do that was the Stewart well over a decade ago when there were still many who needed to be convinced of the Okanagan’s ability to make “serious” wines.

Even though my notes have long ago vanished, I recall they showed well.

The following are some notables from last week’s international blind tasting that also held their own.

■ Quails Gate Family Reserve 2011 One of the best examples of an Okanagan Chardonnay with acid, fruit and oak in

symposio

perfect balance (90 pts, $35).

■ Mission Hill Perpetua 2011 Aromas of floral and mineral notes, with vibrant citrus and spice wrapped judicious oak with good length (90 points, $34.99).

■ Haywire “Raised in Concrete” Canyonview Pinot Noir 2011 Dark berries and cherry notes on top with a broad palate of plush fruit, some earthy notes and good length, firm tannins and balanced acidity (90 points $35), release shortly.

••• Last week’s major B.C. VQA spring rollout, one of the biggest yet, yielded a wealth of summer friendly wines, from good sippers to serious barbecue contenders.

Here’s a few to help get the season started.

■ Bench 1775 Chill This winery on the Naramata Bench is the reincarnation of defunct Soaring Eagle, now under the ownership of Paradise Ranch. First tastes impress, and this easy-sipping, crisp citrus and stonefruit toned off-dry blend is no exception.

This blend has good structure from the Pinot Gris that holds all the other elements together. Mainly Pinot Gris (46 per cent) with

Chardonnay (25 per cent), Sauvignon Blanc (11 per cent) plus Viognier, Pinot Blanc and Gewurz (all six per cent), it adds up to one refreshing drop. Great value (90 points, $15.99).

■ Desert Hills Cactus White 2011 Easy sipping, fruity blend of Viognier, Chardonnay, Gewurz and Pinot Gris from different mainly South Okanagan vineyards yields floral and citrus notes with a juicy finish (88 points, $15.90).

■ Volcanic Hills Gewurz.

2011 A little lighter style that still pushes all the right buttons with floral notes on top and a lychee, tropicaltoned palate with a clean end (89 points, $17.90).

■ Lang Vineyards Rosé 2011 (Naramata) Pale pink in the glass with floral and bright cut berry notes on top before a vibrant, juicy, mid-palate and clean close.

Easy sipping or food friendly (89 points), excellent value at $14.99.

PLANTATION COURSE AT KAPALUA

PUKALANI GOLF CLUB

DUNES AT MAUI LANI

WAILEA GOLF CLUB Plantation Course at Kapalua Resort: The Plantation Course is unique among PGA Tour courses in several ways. It is the only course on the tour that plays to par 73; all others play to pars between 70 and 72. It is also the only course with seven holes of more than 500 yards, but at the same time is one of only two courses (Pebble Beach being the other) with six par-4s of less than 400 yards. The elevation changes on the course are starkly illustrated by looking at the 17th, 18th, and 1st holes as a set. The 17th starts atop a mountain, and the course slopes downward through the 18th, with the 1st completing the descent. These three holes play to a combined 1,691 yards for the tour professionals, with only the 18th (at 663 yards) being par-5.

ON MAUI GOLFERS ARE SPOILED FOR CHOICE

The lei of the land Jim Sutherland Contributing Writer

MAUI, Hawaii: As a golfer I’m only too familiar with arbitrary dress restrictions, but the sign on the window is a new one, even to me. “No clothes,” it reads, “No service.”

THE Kapalua Plantation course befuddles PGA Tour pros each January with its wicked winds and calamitous greens. Designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, it’s one of the most exhilarating golf experiences in the New World.

Then again, we’re not on a golf course but strolling down a street in one of the little towns on Maui’s surfer-friendly windward shore. It’s the kind of fringe benefit (the side trip, not the dress code) that helps compensate for the island’s generally dear green fees.

Maui is just big enough that where you stay will help determine the courses you play. Most of the grand resort affairs are clustered around either Ka’anapali in West Maui or Wailea in South Maui, and the two areas are well over an hour apart.

Around the latter there’s a choice of three Wailea courses as well as Makena, which is the most scenic (and that’s saying something) but also the most challenging.

Meanwhile, the universally strong Wailea courses — Gold, Emerald and Old Blue — are owned by the Golf BC Group, and Mulligans pub at Old Blue may well be the most Canadian of gathering spots on the most Canadian of un-Canadian islands, a place where it is never necessary to plead with the bartender to turn one of the TVs to hockey. Indeed, during most afternoon happy hours, dozens of Canucks staying at nearby resorts gather to cheer against each other’s teams.

Over in West Maui, there are another four courses, two each at Ka’anapali and Kapalua. As at Wailea green fees are in the $200 range, except on Kapalua’s Plantation course, where they run closer to $300. It pains my Scottish sensibilities to say this, but just lay down your card and play the site of the PGA Tour’s annual season opener. The Coore-Crenshaw design revels in its wind-whipped site, offering up an experience that is in fact just like Scotland — well, except for the palm trees, carts and mountainside setting; Golf magazine and Golf Digest rank Kapalua, respectively, the 18th and 19th best public course in the U.S., and even those estimations seem a slight.

There are two other golf must-dos on Maui. One is to check out some of See Lana’i page 30

A30 - North Shore News - Sunday, June 16, 2013

TRAVEL From page 29 the less-heralded tracks such as Dunes at Maui Lani, which has a links feel and lies conveniently between the two main tourist concentrations. Rack rate is around $125, but this course and others like it can usually be played for less using the various websites and coupon cards that cater to deal-seekers.

In fact, it’s not impossible to play the mandatory Plantation course and still keep your average green-fee expenditure below three figures. By doing that you’ll be able to justify a day trip to Lana’i, the company town of an island just to Maui’s west. Its two courses, the Experience at Koele and the Challenge at Manele, are every inch the scenic wonders advertised. Equally significant, the ferry ride, together with the island’s stark beauty, transform the mere Maui vacation into something of a South Seas adventure, even if, here as elsewhere, clothes are sadly required.

SECOND GARROTE, California: The old oak tree is dead, but three metres of its trunk still stand, a stark reminder of the lawless days in California during the gold-rush era that began in 1849.

It’s called the Hangman’s Tree and in its busiest period, in the 1850s, it was the scene of many an execution, some legal,

some by lynch law. No wonder the community in which it stands was called — and is still called — Second Garrote.

(Garrote is Spanish for death by choking or hanging; there was a strong Mexican presence here in those days. First Garrote, a few kilometres away, later changed its name to Groveland.)

Bret Harte visited Second Garrote in its heyday, while wandering gold-rush country in the Sierra Nevada foothills west of Sacramento. Although Harte is little-read now, in the 19th century he and Mark Twain were both hugely popular authors. Harte in particular was known for his adventure tales of miners, gamblers and other colourful characters in America’s wild west.

Harte’s stories were fiction, but often based on facts. While visiting Second Garrote, for example, he learned of two men, inseparable friends, who died within weeks of each other.

Harte was intrigued by the tale, making it the basis for Tennessee’s Partner, a short story he published in 1868 about two lifelong buddies, one of whom — Tennessee — is strung up on the Hangman’s Tree.

The execution was Harte’s embellishment; the real duo died natural deaths.

writer’s memorial, this one for Mark Twain. The one-room cabin at the top of Jackass Hill, near the town of Angels Camp, is a reconstruction — though the fireplace and chimney are reportedly original — of the place where Samuel Clemens, who became Mark Twain, lived for one winter and where he penned his first short story after hearing a bar-room anecdote about a jumping frog. The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, published in 1865, launched his writing career.

Other stops, all marked by historical plaques, include: — Murphys Hotel in the town of Murphys, which features in Harte’s story A Night at Wingdam. The hotel register shows that Mark Twain lodged here, as did Black Bart, a notorious highwayman of the Sierras.

— Angels Camp, which stages a jumping-frog festival every May. There’s a statue of Twain in the local park. Twain writes about his days in Angels Camp and Jackass Hill in his famous travel book, Roughing It. Angels Camp is also thought to be the setting for Harte’s Luck of Roaring Camp.

— Copperopolis, a section of which used to be known as Poker Flat and is immortalized in Harte’s oft-filmed story The Outcasts of Poker Flat.

neutering and spaying can be detrimental to a dog’s longterm health is problematic for those who consider early spaying and neutering to be in the best interest of dogs and dog owners.

I am required, by my contract with the adoption agency, to neuter Raider by six months of age. I will honour this, but I can’t ignore or deny what I could potentially be doing to his long-term health as a result.

If he does develop any of the aforementioned conditions, the remorse I would feel knowing it could have been prevented by waiting a few more months would certainly affect me for the rest of his short life.

year of age.

So it’s not necessarily the fact that dogs are spayed and neutered that is problematic, it’s the fact that it is done so early.

A recent study on golden retrievers done by the University of California Davis Veterinary School said that hip dysplasia occurred twice as often in dogs altered before the age of one. The study also linked CCL and ACL ligament tears and an increase in osteosarcoma (bone cancer) and many other cancers to early neutering.

For the last 10 years there has been a trend towards early spaying and neutering with most veterinarians touting the benefits, both behavioral and medical. Early usually means under one year of age.

But the control of unwanted pets was and is the major reason to spay and neuter so any evidence that early

All the dogs had their chosen spots in the yard.

Piper had to be on a soft cushy dog bed, Zumi was lying in the shade of the birch tree and Raider was resting by my side with his head on my lap as I sat on the grass and read.

I paused for reflection and the thought of Raider turning six months old came to mind.

I looked up from the pages of my book and gazed into Raider’s eyes and realized how much I have come to adore him … then said, “It’s almost time to cut those knackers off.” Meaning it’s almost time for me to get him neutered.

And as if he understood what I had just said, he rolled onto his back, legs splayed open in defiance, as he bathed his belly and knackers in the sun.

Much like my little dog Raider, I have always been a bit defiant. Well, in all honesty, a lot defiant.

When it comes to spaying and neutering our pets that defiance has played a part in my beliefs regarding the subject.

regarding my own pets about spaying and neutering that went against the grain of conventional thinking.

But now, as I see my 50th birthday on the distant horizon, I am reconsidering my thoughts on the subject.

Not because I am changing how I feel about the subject in general, but rather that my lifestyle and age no longer allow me the watchfulness and agility of mind and body to manage an un-neutered male dog for life.

Having lived with unneutered males and unspayed females for almost 20 years, it is, without a doubt a challenge. When the majority of the dog population has been sexually altered the majority smells, well … neutral. As a result the altered dogs are unfamiliar with the scent of an intact dog — that scent being testosterone from the male and estrogen from the female. The altered dogs inevitably feel threatened by the scent of the intact dogs and conflict always arises, more often than not by the dogs who have been spayed or neutered.

Having said that, spayed and neutered dogs do make better pets. Male dogs are less likely to wander, are more compliant and friendlier.

Female dogs are less likely to show maternally related aggression and are more willing to be social. Healthwise there is a list of benefits.

Males won’t get testicular cancer, and females won’t get ovarian and uterine cancer — obviously.

But dogs who have been altered tend to have a challenge maintaining a healthy body weight, even with owners managing their diet, due to hypothyroidism, which triples when a dog is spayed or neutered before a

WEST Vancouver native Mark Watson (second from right) watches the action as an assistant coach with MLS’s San Jose Earthquakes. This weekend he’ll debut as the team’s head coach following the stunning departure of his longtime friend, teammate and coaching partner Frank Yallop (right).

Andy Prest aprest@nsnews.com

Scan this page with the Layar app to view video of Mark Watson’s famous goal in Canada’s 1-0 Gold Cup semifinal win over Trinidad and Tobago in 2000.

WHEN asked what coach had the most influence on him during his many years spent on soccer pitches around the world, West Vancouver native Mark Watson is quick with an answer: Frank Yallop.

There’ll be a lot of Frank Yallop — another Lower Mainland guy who played for many years with Watson on the Canadian national team — in Watson’s style when he stands on the sidelines as a professional soccer head coach for the first time ever this weekend, guiding the San Jose Earthquakes in an MLS matchup against the visiting Colorado Rapids.

“He was very influential, he’s a great coach, he taught me a lot about dealing with the team, dealing with the players, getting the most out of the group,” Watson said about the man who brought him on as an assistant a couple of times, once with the Canadian national team and again with the Earthquakes. “You’re a product of all of your environments. You may take more out of certain coaches and I will take a lot out of Frank because he was very successful.”

Yallop, in fact, put together such a strong season in 2012 that he was named the MLS coach of the year. That’s why it was such a shock when Yallop and the Earthquakes “mutually agreed” to part ways last week after San Jose started the 2013 season with a 3-6-6 record that put them near the bottom of the Western Conference.

You can include Watson, who was promoted from his assistant coaching position to interim head coach, among the many shocked observers.

“I think everyone was really surprised,” he said. “I know it hasn’t been the season we were hoping for to date but I think it came as a real shock to everyone.”

When the North Shore News caught up with Watson on Wednesday the shock had subsided and the reality of the task at hand had settled in.

“There’s two sides,” he said. “Obviously it was a tough situation initially. Frank had been here a long time, I’ve been his assistant for

Watson talked about another influential coach in his life — his father Keith, who played for the University of British Columbia and was Mark’s first coach with the West Vancouver Soccer Club.

“He was my coach for a long time with the West Van Spuraways,” said Watson. “A lot of great memories. I remember it being a big thing at the time. Youth soccer was really big, my team was my group of friends. We worked together twice a week for training and then games and tournaments. It was a great experience and I still have friendships from those days.”

Watson graduated from Sentinel secondary and, according to his bio on the West Vancouver Soccer Club’s website, was actually more interested in basketball at the time — he went to Capilano College to play hoops. Still a soccer star as well though, Watson was picked for a B.C. provincial team that toured China. That stint See Watson page 36

Friesen scored 322.05 points in the final of the women’sthree-metre,finishing just 4.25 points behind winner Qu Lin of China.

“It was incredible and it made all the hard work well worth it,” Friesen told the Canadian Press after the event. “The reverse dive was definitely a highlight, I really nailed it. I knew going into the last dive how well I was doing and while I could have done the take-off better I was pleased with my finish.”

••• West Vancouver’s Christa Bortignon was recently named the Canadian Masters Athletics 2012 Female Athlete of the Year for both track events and field events, the first athlete ever to claim both categories.

In 2012 Bortignon set 10 world records and 19 Canadian records combined on the track and in the field.

The super senior hasn’t slowed down in 2013 either, breaking the world record in the women’s 75+ heptathlon at the Stendaler-HanseCup meet held June 1-2 in Germany. Her heptathlon performance included an agegroup world record in the 200 m as she clocked a time of 33.86 seconds in the final event of the competition.

West Vancouver’s Myrtle Acton also got into the recordsetting spirit in Kamloops, breaking four women’s 80+ Canadian records. Acton set new national marks in shot put at 7.43 m, discus at 17.70 m, hammer throw at 20.77 m and weight throw at 8.52 m.

••• Offensive lineman Troy Martel of Argyle secondary and Handsworth receiver Jacob Ghazizadeh were recently named to Football BC’s under-16 team that will represent the province at the Red River Cup scheduled for July 6-13 in Winnipeg.

The tournament will also feature all-star teams from Northern Saskatchewan and Southern Saskatchewan as well as a pair of Winnipeg all-star teams. For more information visit redrivercup.com.

Watson not worried about interim label From page 34

got him some national attention and he was selected for Canada’s under-23 national team, the beautiful game slowly boxing out basketball as his No. 1 sport.

A professional soccer career followed with stops across the globe, including teams in England and Sweden as well as several squads in several leagues across the United States and Canada.

Meanwhile Watson carved a permanent spot in the starting lineup of the national team, playing in 78 games as a defender. He is currently the third-most capped player in team history.

While his playing career was winding down Watson began coaching with the Canadian Olympic (under-23) team and after retirement Watson became an assistant with the Charleston Battery before reuniting with Yallop in San Jose in 2010.

Now for the first time in his career he’ll take the first chair as a head coach. The 42-year-old said he’s ready for it.

“I’ve been involved in the game a long time, I’ve been coaching for quite a while now and I’ve been able to learn from a lot of great coaches. I’ve spent a lot of time on the training field dealing with players, preparing the team for games. I think I’m ready to go.”

Watson for the time being is labeled the “interim” head coach so there are no guarantees beyond this season. That suits him just fine though, he said — all he’s thinking about is the next match.

“My job is to get this club back on the right track. We have a good team, we had a fantastic season last year and we’ve got really the same group together. We’ve dealt with a lot of adversity this year, a lot of injuries and suspensions and different things, but my job is solely focused on helping the team prepare for primarily Saturday but then the rest of the season, getting some wins and getting into the playoffs.”

While Watson’s future is full of both questions and promise, he still is able to take a moment to look back at the past and marvel at all that the game has given him up to this point.

“It’s been incredible,” he said. “As a younger guy you maybe don’t think about it too much at the time but looking back now I had some incredible experiences, went to some great places, played in a lot of different countries both for Canada and professionally.

I was very fortunate in that regard. I think the one thing that did catch me early on was just the passion of the game around the

Dorothy May Tennant (nee Rolls) passed away peacefully on Friday, June 7, 2013 at Mariposa Gardens in Osoyoos after seven years of Alzheimer’s.

Dorothy was always a kind and peaceful person. She had a wonderful life with Duncan. They would have celebrated 70 years of happily married life this year.

Dorothy was born in Hedley, BC on April 9, 1923. She moved to Vancouver with her family in 1931 where she attended and graduated from Kitsilano High School which is where she met Duncan. They were married at Canadian Memorial Church in 1943. Dorothy is survived by her husband Duncan; sons Bruce and Bob (Senka); seven grandchildren Chantal (Clint) Melisa, Daniel, David, Oliver, Victoria and Michael as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her son John David in 1983. Dorothy and Dunc traveled extensively and went on fifteen medical missions with the Medical Missions International Society. They worked in places as diverse as Rwanda, the Caribbean and Central and South America.

Dorothy would fit hundreds of artificial eyes while Dunc examined and fitted thousands of pairs of glasses. In 1997 they moved to Osoyoos to enjoy the sunshine.
