NVSD cuts Outdoor School staff

School lost close to $1M in past 2 years; Listel Hotels to promote adult eco tourism Jane Seyd & David Burke jseyd@nsnews.com

EIGHT union support staff are being laid off and 13 more casual staff are losing their jobs at the North Vancouver Outdoor School near Squamish.

The layoffs are among moves the school district hopes will help the 40 year-old outdoor school break even on its programs by 2015.

The outdoor school has lost close to $1 million over the past two years — money that has had to come out of the school district’s K-12 classroom funding.

The layoffs are effective June 30, but in some cases the workers’ contracts are being carried through August to ensure that they still have employee benefits through the summer.

Those who have been working under the CUPE contract are being offered the option of being reassigned to jobs elsewhere in the district, retiring or accepting severance packages, said Victoria Miles, school district spokeswoman.

The North Vancouver school district owns the 420-acre North Vancouver Outdoor School site, where it has operated the outdoor school as an environmental education facility for more than four decades. It has been used by a variety of public and private groups from across the region for environmental education and outdoor leadership training.

In June 2012, outdoor school officials opened a new $5.8 million North Shore Credit Union Environmental Learning Centre.

The recent layoffs come as part of a See Higher page 5

Forecasters predict slightly warmer than normal summer

Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

SUMMER may have officially started this week, but unofficially, the Lower Mainland will likely have to wait a couple of weeks for barbecue weather to kick in.

“In Vancouver, the first day of summer should be the first week of July,” said Matt MacDonald, a meteorologist with Environment Canada.

That’s usually when the high pressure

that sits off California finally moves north — bringing balmier temperatures.

Before that happens, though, expect a somewhat sodden week leading into some brightening for the Canada Day weekend.

Angst over when — or if — summer will arrive in Vancouver is an annual event around this time of year.

Forecasters are generally loath to predict more than a few days forward. But so far, the good news is climate models are “hinting at a slightly warmer than normal summer,” said MacDonald.

So far, the weather in both May and See Supermoon page 5

SUNDAY FOCUS 2013 RUGBY WORLD CUP SEVENS

Andy Prest

Jonesing to win

aprest@nsnews.com

THE word sensible doesn’t always go hand-in-hand with the words elite athlete or, more particularly, rugby player, but when it comes to Harry Jones, there really is no other word that will do.

How else would you describe an elite athlete who calls an excruciating, potentially career ending injury a blessing in disguise because it allowed him to take a break from being one of the best rugby players in the country to focus on his business degree in the winter and, get this, go work in a mine during the summer.

More on that later. For now, Harry Jones is back on the ball and about to embark on the trip of his life. Today the 23-year-old West Vancouver native leaves Vancouver bound for Russia and the 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens. Today the versatile back leaves to go do what he’s done his whole career, on and off the pitch — take a lump of coal and turn it into a diamond.

••• Two big shadows kept Harry Jones a little obscured when his rugby career began at the Capilano Rugby Club and West Vancouver’s Rockridge secondary. The shadows belonged to Ben and Charlie Jones, twin older brothers who were already blazing a path to glory at the high school level and making provincial and national youth team appearances. Harry hoped he would make the Rockridge senior team as a precocious Grade 9 player but he was sent back to junior while his Grade 11 brothers helped lead the senior team to a AA title.

“I was kind of just riding their coattails for a while,” said Jones. “I think I developed a bit later than they did. Early in high school I was just doing my own thing.”

It didn’t take long, however, for Harry to emerge from those shadows once he moved up to senior.

“He solidified the name in Rockridge history — the Jones brothers,” said Tom Larisch, head coach of rival Carson Graham who has since coached Jones on provincial teams and at Capilano. “Ben and Charlie were twins and they were outstanding and then Harry came a couple of years later and was just even better. I don’t want to offend his brothers but he was a force.

He dominated high school rugby.”

Jones joined his twin brothers for another championship run and then helped the Ravens reel off two more after Ben and Charlie left, giving the school four AA titles in a row. Along the way he waged fierce battles with another boy wonder, Nathan Hirayama of Hugh McRoberts secondary. They’re now teammates on the national sevens team but back then it was clear they were two of the best high school players the province had ever seen.

“They were both AA, Rockridge and McRoberts, and they were special,” said Larisch. It didn’t hurt Harry’s chances that he was surrounded by elite players and coached by Rockridge junior guru David Henning and then senior coaches Tim Murdy and Perino Zambon, some of the most highly regarded youth coaches in the country.

“He’s one of those talents that it would have taken him to the top no matter what,” said Larisch. “But it certainly didn’t hurt that he was a part of some high-end programs at Rockridge and the club to maximize his talent for his age.”

Appearances at the national level started to pile up. Jones made the under-17 national team and then spent two years with the under-19 team before bumping up to the under-20 squad for his final youth season. That year he captained the national team as they travelled to Japan for the Junior World Championships.

Facing the best in the world the Canadians managed only one win and finished 14th but there was something even more troubling for Jones that emerged at the tournament — a mysterious pain in his groin that kept him from making all the moves he wanted to do.

“It was a sharp pain,” said Jones. “Any time I’d sneeze or slip or anything like that, any quick motion, it would be this excruciating pain. I’d basically try to hold in my sneezes but even doing that still hurt it.”

It was diagnosed as a sports hernia and Jones kept playing, joining the B.C. Bears senior men’s provincial team as they won the Canadian championship and travelled to Argentina for a battle of North and South America’s best. By the end of the game, however, the pain was worse than ever. Unbearable.

“After that game I called it quits,” said Jones.

“I couldn’t even walk properly.”

Another doctor sent him for a bone scan and diagnosed him with osteitis pubis, a condition in which the pubic bones rub against each other, causing irritation and inflammation. It’s somewhat common for rugby players — it’s sometimes called a “kicking hernia,” said Jones — and it’s nasty. Larisch and Jones both know several players who have had the injury and never played again or come back and been a shell of their former selves.

“I had something similar when I used to play,” said Larisch. “It’s very debilitating.

Nothing seems to be wrong but you just have no power or explosion. It’s right in the middle of your core.”

The doctor laid out three options for Jones: the Band-Aid — a cortisone shot that would put

him right back on the field; the knife — surgery and hopefully a full and speedy recovery; or the long haul — months, maybe even years, of rest to let it heal completely. Now here’s where that whole sensible thing really kicks in — Jones picked the last option. Just as he was turning into a young superpower on the pitch, Jones chose to walk away instead of grabbing the quick fix.

A year off turned into 18 months and then nearly two whole years. Rest, light rehab, ice baths, light field work and then even more rest.

It worked.

“Even when I thought I was 100 per cent healthy I took an extra month,” said Jones. “I said, ‘You know what? I’ve invested a year and a half, what’s the point of jumping back in when maybe I’m 100 per cent or maybe I should give that extra month just to make sure.’”

When he returned to the field he was fit and fast, quickly racing his way back onto the national team for sevens and making his debut on the full-sided 15s team.

“It shows a lot about his character that he was able to do the necessary rehab and have the patience to come back and continue to be successful,” said Larisch.

Now about those diamonds. Jones’ injury may have kept him off the rugby pitch but he found other things to do. Sensible things, naturally. A student in UBC’s Sauder School of Business, Jones focused even more on his studies, bumping up his GPA. He graduated in 2012 and is now sifting through a number of options for a masters degree or MBA program for the fall.

With no rugby to play in the summertime

when he was injured, Jones instead focused on finding a lucrative summer job. That’s how he ended up 300 kilometres north of Yellowknife working in a diamond mine near the Arctic Circle. To be fair, he wasn’t crafting any fine jewels, but he was making a lot of scratch.

“We had to line the (tailings ponds) and seal them and everything. It was like five kilometers around so we had to go around the entire thing.

It basically took the entire summer. It wasn’t too bad — I made enough money for school the next year.”

With the sport he loved and excelled at taken away from him, Jones still managed to thrive.

“I found things to kind of keep my mind off of it, which was good,” he said. “It was hard going to rugby games and watching them, because I’d obviously want to be out there playing.”

After going dark in the rugby world for a couple of years Jones shone brightly in his return, first rejoining the UBC team and then helping Capilano’s elite men win last year’s provincial title, the Rounsefell Cup. In the final, played against James Bay in front of a Klahanie Park crowd so big they drank the club dry of beer before halftime, Jones made what Larisch labelled the play of the game late in the second half as Capilano went on to win 22-21.

“One of the star players from James Bay broke the line and was going to score a try in the corner and Harry — it just shows the level of heart and commitment — sprinted from the other side of the field and caught the guy in the very corner of the field, probably half a yard from the goal line,” said Larisch. “He tackled See Giving page 11

Higher program fees coming From page 1

continuing plan by the school district to turn over marketing of the outdoor school property as an eco-tourism destination to Listel Hotels, which has been managing the site in a partnership with the school district for the past two years.

John Lewis, North Vancouver schools superintendent, said as part of the plan, accommodations at the site in the Cheakamus Valley are being upgraded to appeal to adult guests. Lewis said it makes sense for a group with expertise in hospitality to manage the site.

Tina Meadows, a national representative with CUPE, said the union isn’t happy about the layoffs.

“We weren’t aware of the full scope of what they were doing,” she said. Meadows said the union views the process as outsourcing jobs to a private company that will likely hire non-union replacements.

The school district has set a target of reducing costs by $150,000 in the next year, with a target of breaking even by 2015.

“I would say that’s an aggressive target,” said Lewis. “We would

like to achieve it as quickly as we can.”

The outdoor school currently generates revenues of about $1 million each year, but has expenses of between $1.4 and $1.5 million.

The school offers environment education programs to about 5,000 school children each year, plus about 4,500 adults.

Students from the North Vancouver school district pay the lowest fees for programs at the site, ranging from about $105 for a two-day cultural history program to $260 for a five-day program.

School children from outside the district pay higher fees and adults pay the most.

It’s likely that all of those fees will be increasing, although Lewis said fees for students will likely rise only between $10 and $20 per program.

Two vice-principals remain at the school, and it’ll be their job to administer the plan the school district comes up with — likely to include some paid staff and some volunteers.

Miles said it’s possible some of the laid-off workers will be hired back once the plan is in place.

June has been relatively good, he said.

The first 10 days of May brought the highest temperatures so far this year, with a number of records broken. In West Vancouver, the mercury shot up to 27.8 degrees on May 5, the first Sunday of the month.

“It kind of gave us a first taste of summer,” said MacDonald Spring as a whole — April to June in meteorological terms — has been about half a degree warmer than normal on average, he said.

Highs in West Vancouver last weekend hovered around 23 degrees. There’s also been less rain.

That’s good news for everyone who suffered through June last year in Vancouver, which prompted a region-wide case of SADS with significantly lower temperatures, more rain and fewer hours of sunshine than usual. The start of summer 2011 was also nothing to write home about, when sunglasses weren’t required until

well into the second half of July.

Astronomically speaking, summer began with the solstice, which happened just after 10 p.m. on Thursday night, Pacific Daylight Time, marking the longest day of the year.

By Friday, daylight was already beginning its six-month-long retreat — but only by one or two seconds a day.

For those with an interest in astronomical events, this weekend will also bring with it the largest full moon of the year — dubbed a “supermoon” by some — as the full moon on June 23 coincides with the moon’s closest encounter with Earth for 2013.

The full supermoon this weekend will bring with it some very high and very low tides, known as spring tides, in coastal areas.

Tides at Point Atkinson in West Vancouver are predicted to recede to a low of .2 feet (.05 metres) just after noon Sunday and reach a high of 15.5 feet (4.37 metres) around 7:30 p.m. that evening.

Growing pain N

ORTH Van City Voices folks made a delegation before council Monday with a familiar message: that they believe the city is growing too dense, too fast and on a trajectory likely to far overshoot population targets in Metro Vancouver’s regional growth strategy.

This, as the city is advancing in City Shaping, its own official community plan review.

Now, the city is not beholden to the regional growth strategy and if council doesn’t want to take its marching orders from Surrey and Port Coquitlam, that’s fine but it should do a better job explaining what the relevance of the regional growth strategy is and what the rationale for exceeding it may be.

And since we have another municipality on the other side of some

arbitrary borders struggling with the same growing pains, the District of North Vancouver would do well to answer the same question. A small revolt is brewing in Lynn Valley, where the OCP already allows for high-density development.

City Voices also notes that the Squamish Nation is planning its own residential towers and it’s not clear where those fit in the RGS. This will be even more important going forward in West Vancouver as opponents of the Grosvenor development are licking their wounds and Park Royal has big plans for residential development.

We don’t have to follow the lead of Metro when it comes to planning for the future of our North Shore, but with three local governments working in seeming isolation, we could stand to have more of a bird’s eye view locally.

Looking for the heart of North Van

“I was crying under the blindfold.”

Ten years after her wedding photos were lost Ruchel Dacanay became a June bride for the second time in a surprise backyard ceremony organized by her husband Lemwell (from a June 21 news story).

Defence lawyer John Shields defends prominent West Vancouver property owner and former BC Hydro chairman John Laxton, who stands accused of damaging fish habitat while rebuilding a breakwater that protect his four waterfront West Van properties (from a June 19 news story).

Dear Editor: As 36-year owners of a three storey family home on Hunter Street, my husband and I found your June 9 story, Lower Lynn To Be Transformed, with its subhead, Development Plan for Dowdy Area, most informative.

We noted that Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn has recently changed his descriptive metaphor for our area, no longer calling it the “Whalley” of North Vancouver; rather, we have become “the armpit of the North Shore” with “housing not even third world but fourth.”

We found ourselves puzzled by this fresh metaphor, and wondered whether MacKay-Dunn,

or for that matter the North Shore News, had ever driven down our one-block street. When we bought our home years ago, the area around Hunter was farm-like, a village full of diversity of income and age. We gradually added to our home as we had a family. Over the years, we raised our children through community preschool (Seymour Heights), a community school (Lynnmour) and a community college (Capilano), where I taught and our children began their university educations years ago.

Neighbourhood and community are keys to our personal values. As we contemplate the disintegration of our street and community along with the potential future sale of our home, we grieve

its loss.

Perhaps the North Shore News, with the help of Coun. MacKay-Dunn, could help us out as we search for another North Vancouver neighbourhood.

A map of the human body superimposed upon the North Shore would be immensely useful. As mentioned, the heart of a community matters to us, so we are looking for a place near the heart. We adamantly want to avoid those areas where scornful citizens congregate, particularly those odoriferous areas near the rear end.

Looking forward to your help.

Interest rates count Referendum? Council was re-elected

Dear Editor: The June 19 column, Adaptation Key to Affordability, by Dalit Holtzman, provides an apples to apples comparison of 1986 housing costs to the present day, but had one missing apple: the interest rate then and now. Interest rates are a key element of affordability and they were about 11 per cent in 1986, while they are at rock bottom today — at about three per cent for a five-year fixed mortgage.

It seems this factor — almost four — was missing in the equation. Had it been included the affordability disparity would have more or less evaporated.

Dear Editor: Three letters to the editor on Sunday show there are people out there who fear change. It is normal that people don’t like change, however the District of North Vancouver has already voted for change based on economic, social and environmental reasons.

After more than two years of community consultation in 2009 and 2010, DNV council passed the OCP unanimously in mid-2011. All councillors were re-elected in November 2011; that’s your referendum right there. A mixed-use lifestyle community will provide many housing

options attainable for young people on up to seniors. It will bring a lot of community amenities such as a community centre, public plaza, parks, senior’s daycare and a much more walkable healthy community. Also (there will be) much needed infrastructure repairs of sewer and water lines, street upgrades, etc.

People who have visited the open houses over the last few weeks have had a chance to vote on what form of housing the majority want. You can still vote up to July 5.

The ups and downs of trading spaces

A house swap is the ideal way to visit somebody else’s neck of the woods.

After all, it eliminates one of the biggest financial burdens of many holidays. Though people the world over do it with strangers via the Internet, a house swap is better yet if the people you’re swapping with are friends. Once you’ve arranged the swap, it looks like you’ve got it made in the shade . . . until the day of departure approaches and you realize you’ve set yourself quite a task.

My husband Stanley is speaking in New York at the end of the month. An outgoing and socially networked fellow, Stanley knew through Facebook that a university friend had recently moved from France to Brooklyn, one of New York’s five boroughs.

So, out of the blue, he asked this fellow if he’d like to trade his Brooklyn condo for our place in North Van for a while.

Turned out he did.

For this newly minted Brooklynite, a bit of our wilderness should be a pleasant respite from the grit of the city. We’re going to New York for the first time as a family and have plans for concerts, plays and neighbourhood explorations as well as the usual touristy pursuits.

The trouble lies in the prep.

Somebody I’ve never met,

Going Coastal

Kate Zimmerman whom Stanley hasn’t seen in more than 30 years, will be staying at our house. We don’t want him to be, at the very least, disappointed, and, at the very most, severely traumatized.

How clean will he expect our place to be? At least he’s French and not Swiss. Then we’d really be in trouble. How disgusted will he be by our weedy garden? Je ne sais pas.

Will he be able to stomach the companionship of our dog, even though we’re hiring others to walk her? He’s never had a pet.

We once went on a trip, giving our house and dog over to acquaintances, only to have them call us a couple of days later to say one of them was severely allergic to the dog and they’d have to bail.

We’ve been slowly sprucing up our place over the past few months but we’re now getting

down to the nitty gritty. All expired prescription drugs have been turfed. Bathroom cupboards have been sternly edited. The linen closet has lost its rattiest towels. Carpet cleaners have been hired.

It’s not that we know this fellow to be a snob; actually, that’s highly unlikely. It’s just that when we — and I should really say “I” here — look around us, it’s the flaws that always pop into view.

It’s strange. I don’t feel particularly anxious about the place we’ll be using in Brooklyn. We’ve seen pictures of his place and it’s modest, in a Democratic-minded, ethnically diverse, middle class area called Prospect Heights that looks ideal for our purposes.

Joan Rivers, to the borough born and bred, supposedly lives there, though likely in a much fancier section. I’d love to bump into her bawling somebody out.

Obviously, the chief charm of most New York area neighbourhoods is their proximity to Manhattan. My sister and her husband lived in Harlem for a few years, more than two decades ago. I’ll never forget one night when I was staying with them at their apartment. My sister decided to pull down the blind in the kitchen for privacy’s sake and was showered with live cockroaches. We were all only

mildly grossed out. Pregnant, I happily slept on a pull-out mattress on the floor, where more bugs were likely scuttling.

It was New York. Who cared?

They lived there, without a working oven, their fridge dominating their tiny apartment’s living room, and I never heard a word of complaint. They were at the centre of popular culture in North America, doing stimulating work, and going to see great live music, art and

theatre. While I was there, we accidentally spotted celebrities like Jackie Kennedy Onassis on a casual stroll through Central Park, and Lou Reed taking out money at the ATM in his leather jacket, sunglasses and all.

With any luck, our guest will feel equally content here, though for less glamorous reasons. The North Shore is heaven for anybody who loves nature, the ocean and peace and quiet. Do scruffy bathroom

Bill Soprovich’s reported comments on Roger’s proposed cell towers: I write as a person living in one of the “few places in the western region of West Vancouver whose wireless needs are not met.” I am not someone in a basement with an iPad — as he claims the provider referred to — but a person who is trying to exist in today’s world with a

cellphone. Land lines are obsolete and cellphones are fast becoming the norm, replacing land lines in many cases. This region is poorly served and from the comment made in the article by Rogers saying that the higher regions of West Vancouver may soon be left offline because of Vancouver’s overworked cell sites, we had better welcome the cell towers that have been proposed.

Highrise opponents pack L. Valley meeting Residents want 5-storey height limit; argue DNV process biased

Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

THE future of Lynn Valley should be characterized by five-storey midrises that complement the village centre and leave its pristine views unblemished, according to a community group opposed to big developments.

NEWS photo Kevin Hill

GLENN MacKenzie addresses 200 or more Lynn Valley residents concerned about planned density increases in the town centre area. Tuesday’s meeting was in reaction to recent District of North Vancouver workshops.

Stop Lynn Valley High-Rises drew 200 or more residents to a standing-room only meeting Tuesday at the Lynn Valley recreation centre.

The meeting came on the heels of a series of workshops organized by the District of North Vancouver centring on four plans to bring as many as 5,000 new residents to the area over the next two decades.

“We’ve been concerned that there weren’t enough choices presented. There were four, and we feel that there should’ve been a ‘none of the above’,” according to group chairman Glenn MacKenzie.

A high-density mix of shops and affordable housing is meant to address what Mayor Richard Walton called a “demographic exodus” among residents between 20 and 40 years old.

The catalyst for the formation of Stop Lynn Valley HighRises was a now-discarded 22-storey tower proposed by Bosa Development, according to MacKenzie.

“That brought people together,” he said.

The wave of opposition to the cancelled project has been difficult to deal with, according to former West Vancouver mayor Mark Sager, who is working with Bosa on the new project.

“It’s a little bit frustrating because we’ve publicly said to people: ‘We’re not doing that.’ And they keep going around with this ‘stop the highrises’,” he said. “Even if the district said, ‘We want highrises,’ if the owner of the property doesn’t want to do it, See Mall page 9

Mall site a challenge: Sager Edgemont Senior Living From page 8

it’s not going to happen.”

The site is rife with challenges, according to Sager. Besides the divided community, Bosa will likely have to pay the district $10 million for the library site, tear down that “old, very ugly fourstorey garage,” and cope with an empty Zellers building and a 1960s era mall.

“When they’ve got a huge, big box sitting empty they need to decide whether to proceed or release the space. Obviously it’s hurting the mall right now,” he said. “It’s not something that can wait a year.”

Bosa’s new proposal will be submitted in midor late July, according to Sager. “The district is looking for 5,000 people. We will be a very, very small fraction of that,” he said.

MacKenzie said he could support five-storey buildings.

“I think it is generally lower than the tree height, which preserves the natural esthetic of the area, and it’s also consistent with most building heights in Lynn Valley,” he said.

While the community will change, MacKenzie wants to preserve key aspects of the neighbourhood. “It’s selfish in a sense,

but it’s necessary in terms of protecting — and protecting is stewardship,” he said.

Failure to provide housing for young people could have disastrous effects for Lynn Valley according to Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn, who discussed the issue at a January council meeting.

“This community will quite frankly die on the vine,” he said.

MacKenzie disagreed.

“I think the meeting the other night dispelled that crazy idea that we’re dead or that we’re going to die in Lynn Valley. I think the community showed that it’s really strong,” he said.

The notice alerting the community of the meeting noted “deceptive methods” employed by the district.

“I guess deception’s a strong word, but it’s provocative to get people interested,” MacKenzie said.

Stop Lynn Valley High-Rises is planning to offer alternative plans for the future of Lynn Valley to council in September.

“We’re not just negative. We’d like to look at options, options that fit our needs, the community’s needs,” he said. “We’re looking for help and help with organizing and building.

Our doors are open.”

No need to smash to grab in West Van? WEST Vancouver police have been urging the public to be more cautious about what they leave in their vehicles but the message, apparently, isn’t getting through.

Thefts from parked cars is up four per cent over last year with a spate of 23 cases since the start of June.

Sentinel Hill, Cedardale and British Properties above Taylor Way have been particularly hard hit, with Dundarave west of the Caulfeild area also seeing several reports, according to police.

Suspects have been targeting vehicles with items of value left in sight, but making matters

worse has been that in several cases, the suspects needed to only open an unlocked door and help themselves.

“The offences have not required a criminal mastermind,” a press release from West Vancouver police stated. “West Vancouver police actively investigate such offences, and work to identify, proactively target and apprehend offenders, however, leaving valuables in any vehicle, particularly an unlocked vehicle, creates an easy opportunity for a thief to quickly and often quietly commit an offence and leave undetected.”

Loose change, electronics, sunglasses or anything of perceived value will make your vehicle a target.

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

Advanced Vein Treatments

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.

Thank you Jane Bullock, Laura Luo, Renee Sun, Chloe Noel, Savannah Duggan, Samantha Smith, Aga Duszynska, Matthew Douglas, David Jung and Hazel Kang for making such a difference in our community.

him and held the ball up just as he was about to cross the line. It was probably the defining moment of the game. . . . Most players wouldn’t have gotten there, a lot of players wouldn’t have even tried to get there. He covered the entire field and made a game-changing tackle.”

The play solidified Jones’s reputation around the Capilano club as a superstar player. A few months later he further elevated his standing off the field as well, starting up his own summer skills camp for kids at Klahanie Park. He’ll hold the camp again this July 4-5, teaching kids aged eight and up rugby skills as well as the value of camaraderie and fair play. Did we mention that he’s still only 23 years old?

“It’s so easy to cheer for Harry,” said Larisch. “I don’t know if I want to call him a renaissance man — I don’t want to be cheesy — but he’s just an all-around good person. He has tremendous character, he’s very giving, he’s very thankful, he has no ego toward his teammates. He’s the ultimate team guy. He comes back from international trips and he wants to play with his club and his friends. He’s not just looking out for himself, he seems to be playing the sport for the right reasons.

He’s a true role model.”

••• The Rugby World Cup Sevens tournament starts Friday in Moscow and Canada begins play with a bit of a tough first opponent: New Zealand. Here, finally, is where Jones maybe isn’t so sensible. He thinks Canada can beat the mighty All Blacks and maybe win the whole darn tournament.

“I think it’s an ideal situation for us,” he said of facing the world’s No. 1 team in the opener. “You play the game to play against the best in the world and right now they are. The guys are excited, no

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. For 20 years Nature’s Creations has been committed to educating consumers on the hazards of toxic synthetic ingredients in skin care products. “It’s very serious, and women are starting to take it seriously” says Suzanne Laurin-Seale of Nature’s Creations Aromatherapy. “The average North American woman exposes herself to over 200 synthetic toxic chemicals a day.”

Then again, maybe Jones has proven his sensible side enough that his confidence should be taken as more than just a brave face. So what, exactly, are the team’s goals at the tournament?

“To win it,” he said emphatically. “If you asked the same question three years ago, four years ago when we were just kind of happy trying to get into the top eight in tournaments. Now we’ve beaten every team this year except New Zealand

— and we came close a couple of times. . . . In sevens where the games are short if you get a bounce here or there you can be up on a team pretty quick. On any given day any team can win. That’s why it’s so exciting. We believe 100 per cent that we can go all the way. We just need to show up at the tournament playing the game that we want to play and let the rest take its course.”

Take it to the bank? Maybe not. But whatever happens, a bet any rugby fan around here would take is that Harry Jones is going to shine.

FSNS’ YOUTHLAB LOOKING FOR NEW RECRUITS

Teens wanted

QUESTION:

I have heard that Family Services of the North Shore has a YouthLAB program, what is it all about?

Answer: Over a year ago we decided that in order for our agency to reach youth who are suffering from serious mental health issues, we needed to find some socially minded, creative and smart youth to help. So, we recruited 10 teens from across

the North Shore to form our inaugural Youth Leadership Advisory Board, or YouthLAB. These amazing young leaders spent the past school year helping Family Services create outreach strategies intended to reach at-risk youth. Check out two of their stories: ■ Samantha Smith, Grade 10, Seycove My health and career teacher saw an ad in the North Shore News looking for 10 creative youth who would be interested

in learning about, and in turn, educating the public on mental health. We all know of a friend, family member or loved one who has painfully gone through or is experiencing anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, bullying or sexual abuse. When I heard about what Family Services wanted to do, I was thrilled! I have always had a passion for helping people and viewed this as a new bright opportunity for me.

I joined so I could gain

new tools that are not taught in school. I know how to be a more supportive friend and how to handle myself in a difficult situation. The most important thing YouthLAB unexpectedly taught me was to not judge a book by its cover — as cliché as it sounds, it’s the truth. My eyes have been opened and I realize now everyone has their own story.

YouthLAB attempts to bring kids affected by these troubles into the solution. One of the things that makes YouthLAB so effective is that adults aren’t imposing ideas on youth. The solutions are developed by youth and then communicated by youth to youth.

In the first year of YouthLAB, we produced a short film and gave presentations to schools across the North Shore to raise awareness on the topics of bullying, sexual abuse, eating disorders, anxiety and depression.

Like most teens, I have had some challenges along the way, and I could see my peers facing the same problems. YouthLAB is a real attempt to help teens with the troubles they face in our society, in a way that works for them. Doing this work helped me understand my own situation and, in addition to the gratification of helping others, YouthLAB has been real work experience. With the guidance of the agency’s counselling staff, we learned about many of the mental health issues facing young people and how we can help.

Cleveland Bike Week a step in the right direction PEOPLE often ask me, “Dave, how did you get into adventure sports?”

This question was something I never thought about, but it made me search for an answer. I mean, I grew up in a house where both my parents smoked so how could I venture into a life of outdoor sports?

The answer I found was, it was in my environment.

Both my parents worked extremely hard holding down two jobs while creating a new company. This is similar to many families today, and it made clear to me the importance of hard work, as I saw what it might take for success.

My parents didn’t drive us to school or other activities so we walked everywhere. Once I got a bike, I was really pumped since my time to friend’s houses and Kits Beach in the summertime was cut in half.

I also spent my summers on my auntie Jane and uncle Bob’s farm. They weren’t rich in money but they were oozing richness in spirit and farming knowledge. They made everything, and for me initially it was like a prison camp for kids. Each day we would pick vegetables, cut them for canning, get firewood stocked up for the next winter and complete other chores. It made us kids lean mean fighting

machines! I look back on those days as the best in my life and I thank my parents and Jane and Bob with instilling in me a sense of ownership, pride and success. It’s these core values that I have and still put into everything I do today. I’m also constantly asked, “What keeps me motivated?” I never have an answer to that question either as when you grow up having to earn everything you just get addicted to going out and doing stuff, not waiting for it to fall into your lap.

The North Shore, in my opinion, is probably one of the best and easiest places in the world to raise kids. We have great schools, great adventure opportunities and great people!

However over the last 10 years I have seen many people move away from letting their kids ride and walk to school. In fact,

when I ride through a school zone on my way to my outdoor office most mornings what I see is a cluster of big cars and SUVs plugging up school streets as parents rush to drop their kids off and get on with their days.

Most parents say the streets are too busy and dangerous for their kids to walk, take the bus or ride their bikes to school.

However I must ask, what’s making them so dangerous?

Maybe it’s the sheer number of vehicles driving erratically jostling for pole position to get in and out of the school lineup that makes it dangerous?

My good friend Jeneen Sutherland is a mom, works, is a great athlete and basically a typical super mom! She consistently rides or walks with her kids to school. The other day, as she and her kids were riding to school, a passing motorist yelled at her to get her kids off

the street. Is this what we want for our beautiful community? I hope not.

June 13, the Healthy Routes to School Group for Cleveland elementary unveiled some new bike signs and other related infrastructure improvements during its annual Cleveland Bike Week. Our awesome District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton was in attendance. During this week, 75 per cent of the 500 kids typically ride or walk to school.

So, I ask you, what do you want to create for your North Shore neighborhood? Remember you’re not stuck in traffic, you are traffic!

Adventurer Dave Norona feels like a kid each morning on his daily bike escapades on the North Shore roads or mountains. His pedal power is supported by Marin Bikes, PowerBar and Lynn Valley Bikes! Info: noronalife.com.

Skin cancer cases increase

Regular checkups help early detection

An aging population that has spent more time in the sun than previous generations means that incidences of malignant skin cancer are increasing.

2012 Financial Snapshot 2012 financial results demonstrate the District’s ongoing practice of prudent financial management, governed by principles of long-term sustainability, affordability, preservation of community investments, and enabling choices for the future.

2012 Annual Report

SUPPORTING COMMUNITY CHANGE

Our goal at North Vancouver District is to make information sharing and reporting convenient, accessible and relevant to you.

This summary, based on our 2012 Annual Report, details how we continue to strategically focus our resources on implementation of the Official Community Plan (OCP) while finding ways to improve the way we do business and maintaining a strong financial foundation. To achieve these ambitious goals the organization continues to seek operational efficiencies and service improvements, while expanding its community engagement practices.

How did we do in 2012?

The 2012 Annual Report is a report card on financial performance and achievements against the 2012–2014 Corporate Plan objectives. It highlights how the organization has moved into action on town centres, invested in systems for greater effectiveness, and moved towards advanced financial policies to achieve sustainability. You can review 2012’s achievements in these areas in greater detail at dnv.org/annualreport2012. Here are some examples: > OCP IMPLEMENTATION

Teens learn real-world business lessons Mayor, councillor visit Argyle to judge student presentations Christine Lyon clyon@nsnews.com

ANYONE looking to start a small businesses in Lynn Valley Village could get some sage advice from a group of local high schoolers.

NEWS photo Cindy Goodman

ARGYLE secondary business education students Brayden Mitchell, Johannes Mohren, Adam Ritchey and Joshua Clark pitch their Lynn Valley Village retail idea to a panel of judges, which included District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton, as part of a year-end class project.

For their year-end project, Argyle secondary teacher Jeanine Almeida’s Business Education 10 class was tasked with generating potential retail ideas for the town centre.

“They went and did some market research using surveys where they asked different types of target markets in the area questions and they grabbed all their data and compiled different charts,” Almeida says.

Teams had 10 minutes each to pitch and defend their business concept in front of a discerning panel of judges, which included District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton, Coun. Roger Bassam and municipal staff.

The winning business proposal was Swirlies, a frozen yogurt shop dreamed up by group members Emily Prosperi-Porta, Rebecca Knight, Angela Katelieva, Mikaila Johnson and Melissa Tranter.

“Their presentation skills were really high,” says Almeida, explaining the students went so far as to mock up a company website and store layout. It didn’t hurt that they also brought in samples of frozen yogurt that would be sold in the shop.

Second place went to Liam Baird, Roan McMillan, Paul Brini, Quinn Klassen and Russell Coffin, who thought up Sparkz Electronics, a local alternative to the big-box technology stores.

Several businesses in Lynn Valley Village contributed more than $500 in prizes to the winners and runners up.

Having just recently returned to work after a maternity leave, this is the first time Almeida has handed this particular assignment See Project page 27

SUMMER PROGRAM 2013

The North Shore Disability Resource Centre (NSDRC) has been providing a program for children who require extra support during the summer months since 1978. The structure and opportunity for social interactions that school provides are not available during summer, and many recreational programs are not equipped to provide the support required by children with special needs. This year we have received 168 applications and thanks to the generous donations of individuals and our business partners, we have been able to provide something for each of them. Your donations will allow us to serve even more children and their families.

The NSDRC Summer Program provides financial support for children ages 3-18 with special needs so they can attend a recreation and/or leisure program of their choice.

There are two options for Summer Program: 1. The NSDRC provides a bursary to help pay for camp fees.

2. The NSDRC provides a bursary to the family to hire a worker of their choice to support their child at summer camp.

Families select the summer camp they wish their child to attend. Generally families register their child in a day camp at a local community center. Some families choose other options that are more suitable to their child’s needs.

The Summer Program receives funding from many different sources. In addition to agency fundraising dollars, contributions for the 2013 year reached almost $74,000.

We work closely with our community partners so that families can be supported in the best way possible.

Our community partners are MCFD, North Shore Supported Child Development Program, North Shore Neighbourhood House, North and West Vancouver Recreation Centres and the Vancouver Coastal Health Region.

Donations to help fund NSDRC programs for children and youth who require extra support are vital for program sustainability. To make a donation, please contact Keith Browne at 604.985.5371.

Shayne’s Search for Housing my name is Shayne De Wildt. s born with Cerebral Palsy stic quadriplegic) and been power wheelchair since de 8. The power wheelchair de it easier to move from s to class in a busy high ool environment. I have many bies: Playing PowerChair tball, going to live events when n afford to, spending time family and friends, playing puter games, and frequently g power wheelchairs. I sider myself to be independent most things in my life. am getting older (I’m 21), ve been looking for some ons around moving out of my mom’s place. Unfortunately, as a person with a disability who nemployed and trying to find work, it’s very limited. It is proving to be very difficult finding ewhere to live, especially because disability income assistance is $906.42 per month. $375 of is supposed to be for housing costs - forcing people who have a disability and want to live on r own (like me) to look in to subsidised housing as pretty much my only option. Even if I get into sidized housing, the $531 left after rent is barely enough to live on when you take into account the of groceries, cable, hydro, heat etc. pite the problem of lack of housing and funds, I am currently on a waitlist for subsidized, accessible sing in North Vancouver. To get on to the waitlist there was lots of paperwork to be filled out, e months’worth of bank statements to collect, meet and greets with landlords and a lot of waiting d that’s just to get on the list. After that, you start waiting for a place to become available – which take years. I found this process to be a little bit annoying and frustratingly complicated. pite the paperwork and meet and greets being nerve-wracking, I was really excited about the sibility of getting my own place. With all that time waiting, my fears start to take over- would a ple paperwork error, like a mistake in my last name, block me from being accepted? What if I made d first impression? What should I respond with when it comes to questions like,“are you a partier?” uld I sound like a boring old man or like a young, witty, drinking frat boy? till at home with my mother hoping to be next in line for the subsidized housing. Unfortunately he North Shore there’s very little subsidized housing for non-seniors without children (like me). much as I hope to get in as soon as possible, There’s no way to k now where I sit on the waiting list, how much longer I will have to wait. Being the go-getter that I am, I feel stuck, but hopeful that it all fall into place soon. ck out more from Shayne on the NSDRC’s brand new blog at http://nsdrcblog.wordpress.com/. p us NAME THE NEW BLOG and you could win a $25 gift card from Starbucks!

SENIORS

Seniors’ advocates crying foul

Province’s $25 wheelchair fee met with disapproval IN introducing the Seniors’ Healthy Living Framework and Secretariat in 2008, the Province stated that it was “committed to building the best system of support in Canada for our older citizens.”

Older & Wiser Tom Carney

It claimed that in achieving that goal, British Columbia would become “the best place on earth for older people.”

Actions speak louder than words.

Both Fraser and Vancouver Coastal Health authorities have announced that beginning Sept. 1, they will begin to charge seniors a $25 a month maintenance fee for use of a wheelchair in a public extended care facility.

The fee applies to seniors making free use of chairs that have been provided to the care facilities by patrons and donors.

Maintenance, as well as the use of the wheelchairs, used to be covered by the fee residents paid to the facility.

Fraser Health estimates that the new wheelchair tax will generate an additional $100,000 in revenue for the organization.

The new policy has seniors’ advocates crying foul.

This isn’t a case of seniors wanting to get something for nothing. Seniors in residential care already pay 80 per cent of their pre-tax income for their meals and accommodation. And it’s not the case that seniors in care can afford to spend another $300 a year for the use of a wheelchair. Most of the residents in long term-care facilities are female and we know that three out of every

06-27-13/1130: 06-08-11/1130: Front

five females over the age of 65 in Metro Vancouver live in poverty.

The question posed by callers to our office is: Who comes up with an idea like this? We live for the most part in a caring and just society. We all believe that seniors should be treated with dignity and respect. And yet when it comes to making public policy decisions around the rights and needs of some of the most vulnerable members of our society we seem, more often than not, to miss the mark.

We could take a lesson here from the classroom.

Kindergarten and primary grade teachers have been using what I call the helpful hurtful rule for years now.

The idea here is to get the kids thinking about the consequences of their actions on their classmates.

Picture this: A group of kids are seated at the colouring table and someone snatches a red crayon out of another student’s hand.

Activity at the table comes to a halt. The teacher brings the incident to the attention of the class and then asks the question. Was that a helpful or hurtful thing to do?

The kids know the answer.

Restitution is made and the activity resumes.

06-27-13/1400: Profile Profile 06-08-11/1400:

It works the other way too. So, for instance, sharing a lunch with another student is acknowledged as a helpful thing to do.

Framing the question this way is a simple and effective way to teach kids about what is right and what is fair.

Let’s apply this rule to some of the recent decisions made by those in charge of the seniors file. Was the decision by the federal Ministry of Finance to cancel the tax benefit of investing in income trusts helpful or hurtful to seniors? Was the decision by the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney General to replace a road test with the DriveAble program hurtful or helpful to seniors who wanted to maintain their driving privileges?

And finally, will the wheelchair maintenance fee be helpful or hurtful to lowincome seniors living in care?

Even the kindergarten kids could answer those questions correctly. Maybe it’s time for some of our policy makers to go back to the classroom.

“Reminder: If you only make the minimum payment every month, it will take approximately 101 years and five months to pay the entire new balance shown on this statement.”

By charging a couple of substantial charitable donations and a big holiday, I have to admit I had run my credit card hot to reach a $49,367.15 balance.

by David Chalmers, of Nicola Wealth Management. “Clearly it’s better to earn than to pay interest,” he said.

If you don’t pay off your credit card balance each month, you are paying that 20-per-cent annual interest rate for the convenience of flashing the plastic — compared with setting up a far cheaper line of credit or taking out a personal loan.

Note that credit card interest rates vary widely — some with a lower rate

payment of $1,036 didn’t look quite so attractive anymore. And seeing 19.99 per cent annual interest was charged on regular purchases (21.99 per cent on cash advances) compounded the shock.

Each month (assuming you made no more purchases) the minimum payment would go down — which would also slow the rate of debt reduction. In the first month, the debt would be reduced by $231 with the remaining $805 going to cover the interest.

“This project, for the kids, kind of helped them to really plug in, really get involved, make an effort,” she says. “We’re trying to come up with ways to really assess (student) learning in different ways and not just the traditional tests.”

A class field trip to the village allowed the students to gain better insight into the wants and needs of local consumers.

“For them to talk to adults and ask them questions, that’s very hard for a young kid,” Almeida says. “It helped build confidence.”

Project preparation also included classroom discussion about unsuccessful local business ventures and future residential highrises planned for the area.

Almeida says the learning outcome of this assignment far exceeded her expectations.

“They appreciated small business more, I think, and just their community in general,” she says.

TASTE

Rosé ‘revival’ visible at tasting IS rosé still on a roll? It looks that way.

Last week I had a chance to test drive a quartet of Provence rosés (all part of a B.C. Liquor Stores’ June promotion) to see how they stacked up. Following last year’s tasting, it was interesting to note the ongoing emphasis on creative packaging, which no doubt is doing its part in fueling the “rosé revival.”

While many B.C. rosés are becoming increasingly fruit driven (some so much so that they pass more for light reds), stylistically, Provence provides a welcome counterpoint.

Most are more restrained in style though rarely lacking in complexity and character.

Not surprisingly, they also make for worthy food partners. The 2012 vintage resulted in lower sugars and sometimes lighter, more subtle, wines. Chill them down and they’re full-on refreshing and very food friendly.

■ L’Amphore de Provence 2012 (Cotes de Provence) My informal tasting group tasted these wines blind, in part because some of the bottles are pretty fancy looking and I didn’t want people to be influenced before they tried the wine.

Marketers are keenly

Notable Potables Tim Pawsey

aware that more than a few people are inclined to buy a wine based purely on its label or bottle style. Chances are this is one, with its shape and name inspired by the traditional amphora vessel with little handles at the neck. Not a lot of complexity but certainly easy drinking.

Strawberry and rhubarb notes with spicy notes, easy acidity and good length. Patio and food friendly (BCLS $19.99; 89 points).

■ Chateau Sainte Roseline, Cuvée Lampe de Méduse, Cru Classé 2012 The Chateau is named after Sainte Rosaline (the 14th century abbess, whose tomb is enshrined there). It enjoys a history of grape growing that dates from that era and is one of only 14 estates that were designated Provence

Crus Classés in 1955. The blend of 35 per cent Cinsault, 30 per cent Grenache, 15 per cent Mourvèdre, 10 per cent Syrah and Tibouren adds up to a pale orange-salmon hue in the glass, with floral and citrus notes on top. Definitely on the dry side with some mineral, grapefruit and lemon zest and a hint of saltiness in a decidedly elegant, sleek bottle (88 points, $28.49).

■ Moulin de Rogne 2012 (Coteaux d’ Aix en Provence) This very successful grower-run group describe themselves as an “upmarket co-operative.” As it turns out, this Languedoc blend of Grenache Noir, Syrah, Cinsault and Cabernet Sauvignon appeals for its juicy drinkability and good value.

Floral and red berry notes, quite juicy and generous on the palate with mineral, cherry pit, citrus and floral notes ($15.99; 88 points).

■ Domaine de Dragon Cuvée Prestige 2012 (Cotes de Provence) Mainly Grenache (68 per cent) with Cabernet (15 per cent), Cinsault (eight per cent) and others. Stonefruit and floral aromas with citrus and lavender notes followed by mild red berries on the quite fruity but dry palate ($23.99, 88 points).

••• There’s still a way to go before the 2014 vintage is even harvested, let alone in the bottle, but already off the press is the 2014 Winery Dogs of B.C. Calendar.

Chances are, if you’re touring wineries this summer (especially in the Okanagan), you might just run into a couple of these friendly canines.

Wine columnist Troy Townsin (the man who started it all in 2006), says: “With so many new wineries popping up, the demand to be in the calendar is always greater than the space we have, so there are also lots of new pin-up pooches every year.”

His rewards add up to lots of fun and the satisfaction of raising funds for B.C. SPCA, with no shortage of fans and feedback, plus the honour of being a regular judge at the annual doggie fashion show at SYL Ranch: “It’s hilarious,” he says. Look for it at participating wineries and soon at VQA stores.

PETS PETS FOR ADOPTION

Life lessons learned from dog training Canine Connection Joan Klucha

I had been working with my client Brenda and her poodle-Australian shepherd cross — an Aussiedoodle — for almost seven months.

We started out together on this journey when Pepsi was a three-month-old puppy who had just finished a local puppy class.

When Brenda contacted me she told me her goal was to have a reliable companion that knew a few commands, was pleasant around other dogs, walked nicely on leash and came when called.

Our training program concentrated on commands and shaping behaviours that would benefit Brenda and her lifestyle and didn’t bother with anything she knew she would never use. For the first few months we worked on Pepsi’s social skills and taught him to be polite around people. We refined Pepsi’s commands of “sit,” “down,” “wait,” “out” and “off” as those would be of benefit to Brenda. We also taught him how to go to his “place” (dog bed or a mat) and stay there. And we spent a lot of time walking around her neighbourhood teaching Pepsi how to be mindful of the leash and not pull, walk on the side Brenda directed him to, and sit when she stopped walking.

Brenda and Pepsi had good days and they had bad days. Brenda was a first-time dog owner and was also learning that dogs are sensitive creatures that have mood swings just like people. But more importantly, Brenda was learning about herself.

She learned that she hears what she wants to hear and sees what she wants to see.

This is supposed to be a good thing, when you are seeing the positive. But Brenda, like most people, noticed the negative before she noticed the positive and never really saw the progress Pepsi was making from week to week.

But she did see his setbacks.

I would often show up at her home and her first words would be, “Oh he was terrible all week, he pulled me from one block to the next.” I would then take the leash from Brenda, ask Pepsi to “walk nice” and proceed to point out all of the ways Pepsi was doing great. Brenda would then furrow her brow and ask, “Why is he so good for you but not me?”

This is the time in most of my one-on-one sessions when I say, “Today is the start of your life lesson training.”

The main reason Pepsi, and other dogs I work with, are good for me and not their owners is because when I see them, it is all about the boundaries I set. I don’t live with these dogs, so these dogs never get a chance to challenge the boundaries in situations that do not involve training.

Brenda admitted that when she walked out the door with Pepsi her first thoughts were not about the dog. Her mind was elsewhere. She did not manage his behaviour from the get-go and Pepsi took advantage of this. He would immediately start leading the walks and it was only when Brenda became frustrated that she began to pay attention to what was going on. By that time, Pepsi had a good five minutes of breaking the rules of walking and doing whatever he wanted.

Brenda’s first life lesson was: be present with your dog.

Leave your troubles behind and pay attention to what it is you want from your dog.

Brenda’s frustration came from Pepsi beginning to pull.

She chose not to correct the behaviour because she didn’t want to hurt Pepsi’s feelings.

Brenda’s second life lesson was: detach emotionally and don’t take things personally.

Your dog (and people) will treat you how you allow them to. If you want your dog to walk nicely, set that intention from the moment you start the walk, instead of being frustrated at your dog and then yourself for not being able to correct a problem you created.

Brenda and Pepsi’s lessons will continue their whole life together. That is the beauty of dogs. If you are truly aware, they are great tools for social and personal change.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY

NEWS photos Cindy Goodman

NORTH Vancouver’s Evan Anderson (left), Spencer Quon and Sam Curleigh unite for an inline session on the blue tile of Karen Magnussen Arena. Six players from the North Shore Inline Hockey League will represent Canada at the junior world championships next month.

Inline stars get Canada rolling

Scan this page with the Layar app to view more photos and video of inline hockey players Evan Anderson, Spencer Quon and Sam Curleigh in action.

Half the national junior team made up of North Shore players Andy Prest aprest@nsnews.com

THREE national junior players skate around the rink at North Vancouver’s Karen Magnussen Arena, firing passes at each other, testing out their dirtiest dangles and showing flashes of the skill that has made the North Shore a hotbed for the sport.

Griffin Reinhart, Morgan Rielly and Dalton Thrower? Nope.

This is Evan Anderson, Spencer Quon and Sam Curleigh, and while the sport they’re playing looks a lot like ice hockey, it’s in many ways very different. These are three of the 12 players who make up Canada’s national junior inline hockey team and they’re rolling around the cool blue tiles that are laid down every spring to turn this rink into a breeding ground for inline excellence.

“It’s a lot different than ice hockey — it’s a totally different game,” said Curleigh as the players stepped off the ice for a break.

“We were taught that it’s more like basketball than ice hockey, that’s what our coaches stressed,” added Quon.

The obvious difference is that they’re on wheels, not blades. But it goes a lot deeper than that.

“It’s four-on-four, it’s more of a possession game,” said Anderson, adding that there is no body checking allowed. “You’ve got to keep possession of the puck until you have a really good scoring chance, unlike ice hockey where it’s just sort of north, south, bang, crash until you get the puck in the net.”

It’s obvious that the guys — all high level junior ice hockey players as well — are having a blast.

“There’s a ton of skill in inline and a lot of people get their ice hockey skills these days from stick-handling in inline. It’s so much fun,” said Anderson. “Tons of skill. A

EVAN Anderson hits high speed during a practice session at Karen Magnussen Arena. lot of hands and patience — that’s basically what it’s all about.”

The three players will be joined by Spencer’s twin brother Dyllan, Eric Margo and Garret Oliver — all longtime members of the North Shore Inline Hockey League — in making up fully half of the 12-man team that will represent Canada at the 2013 See High page 36

High expectations for worlds From page 35

World Junior Inline Hockey Championships running July 8-14 in Huntington Beach, Calif.

All six except for Oliver, a resident of the City of Vancouver, come from North Vancouver. That North Shore dominance can be chalked up to the level of play in the NSIHL league, said Quon.

“There’s no better league to play in than here, there’s no better opportunity to get.”

“I think it just goes to show the commitment level from the staff at NSIHL and the support from the parents in that league,” said Canadian co-coach Thomas Woods in an email to the North Shore News. Woods himself is an NSIHL alum and elite player. Last season he helped Canada’s senior national team win gold at the inline world championships. The roller hockey here is great, he said, but the core of the success also comes from high-level ice hockey.

“I think it has something to do with the number of strong ice hockey programs in the area.

A lot of the boys have played for the North Shore Winter Club or North Vancouver Minor Hockey Association and both those programs produce very good hockey players.”

The players also concede that although the two sports are different in many ways, they are also inextricably linked. They all started as ice hockey players and came to inline as a way to extend the season while working on new moves, muscles and friendships.

“We just took our ice hockey skills and moved to inline,” said Curleigh, adding they all have been playing together on blades since age 10 or 11.

The skills go both ways too, with inline tactics seeping into the players’ ice hockey games.

“When I play ice I kind of look for backdoors and cute little passes,” said Quon. “That definitely generates from here playing with these guys.”

None of the boys, however, ever envisioned that their summer fun would turn into a world championship opportunity. This is the first national team duty for all of the North Shore players.

“It’s a surreal feeling,” said Quon. “It didn’t really cross my mind, but now that it has I’m really looking forward to it.”

Woods is hoping to watch his players earn gold just as he did last year when Canada ended a long drought at the senior level.

“It’s really cool for me to see these guys that I have coached in the past stick with inline hockey and be successful,” he said. “I hope I had some part to play in keeping them interested in the sport. Too many kids don’t see a future in inline and stop after their youth programs finish. I am constantly trying to keep kids interested in the sport and show them some of the opportunities to represent their province or country or go play for a college in the States or even go play abroad in Europe. I’m looking forward to seeing how these guys I have coached will match up against some of the best inline hockey players in their age group from around the world.”

Though it’s inline, not ice, it is still a variation of the national game and that means there are expectations of success when heading to international play.

“It’s hockey in Canada — it comes with high expectations,” said Quon.

“We’re probably one of the favourites to win — Canada is always a favourite,” said Anderson, adding that the weight of hockey history will really hit them when they first pull on their Team Canada equipment. “It’s pretty neat, especially when we get there and all of us are together putting on the jerseys. I think that’s when it’s going to sort of hit home.”

The expectations may transfer over from ice to inline but the funding doesn’t. The players received congratulatory letters when they made the team that also informed them they’d be on the hook for all their expenses. Air travel, hotel, meals and spending money for the nine-day trip will set the kids back somewhere in the neighbourhood of $1,500 to $2,000.

“It’s a decent chunk of change,” said Anderson with a chuckle. “We get a buck here or there from sponsors but for the most part we don’t get any money from Canada Hockey.”

The players are out now looking for support that will take them to California. To find out more about sponsorship opportunities contact Richard Ropchan of Inline Canada at 905-780-2150.
