Burns and Rafay get an appeal date Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com
TWO former West Vancouver men convicted of a horrific 17-yearold multiple murder will have an appeal of their case heard in the Washington State Court of Appeals next month. Sebastian Burns and his friend Atif Rafay are both serving three consecutive life sentences after being convicted in 2004 of the brutal 1994 murders of Rafay’s family in the Rafays’ Seattle-area home. Prosecutors said Burns wielded an aluminum bat used in the murders, killing Rafay’s father, mother and autistic sister, while Rafay planned the killings in order to receive a $300,000 inheritance. Both convicted killers were 18 at the time of the murders. The pair, West Vancouver secondary friends with high IQs, came back to Canada within days of the murders. They lived in a rental house in North Vancouver and were arrested there in 1995. Confessions to the murders made during an RCMP sting operation were considered a key part of the case. Such evidence would have been ruled inadmissible if police in the U.S had obtained it. One of the grounds for appeal is that the courts violated the accuseds’ constitutional rights by not allowing defence lawyers to call legal expert Richard Leo to talk about false confessions and police interrogation See Defence page 3

Council kills WV Safeway towers
Tessa Holloway tholloway@nsnews.com
THE developers of a proposed 10- to 15-storey mixed-use building on the Ambleside Safeway site in West Vancouver have been told to go back to the drawing board, and this time let residents take the lead.
Council unanimously rejected the earlier proposal Monday night due to community concerns, but director of community planning Geri Boyle said there was strong support to redevelop the site at a lower height and density and with a higher quality public space amenity. She recommended going ahead with a new
Public engagement seen as key to site’s next development proposal
public engagement process. The original proposal would have included offices, retail and a new supermarket combined with residential units, but was opposed due to traffic concerns, complaints that views would be impacted and that it didn’t fit in with the village character of Ambleside. The developer, H.Y. Louie Group, had already stated that the company would redesign its proposal in light of the opposition raised at a March 10 community meeting on the project, where
about 400 people showed up and the sentiment was almost unanimously opposed. However, Jim Hancock of IBI-HB Architects said the company planned to maintain a density of 217,000 square feet, about 70,000 square feet more than the official community plan allows. The vote at Monday’s council meeting would require the developer to take a different approach. Andrew Pottinger represented the developers at the meeting and said he would have to take council’s wishes to the owner of the site to find out what their plans are. He said council gave them a “roadmap for going forward,” but couldn’t say whether the appetite would still be there to develop a smaller building. See Mayor page 3

Defence will argue RCMP elicited duo’s confessions From page 1 techniques. Defence lawyers will argue that the “Mr. Big” undercover scenario used by Canadian RCMP officers in the case is not used in the U.S. and there is a lack of public knowledge about it. In 2007, Burns’ sister, filmmaker Tiffany Burns, released a documentary that focused on the Mr. Big technique and questioned its role in eliciting confessions. Prosecutors, however, will argue that confessions made to undercover police were voluntary. “The videotapes tell a tale of two casual murderers who are rather proud of what they’ve done,” they wrote in their court documents. Other grounds for appeal include what defence lawyers say were improper comments made by one of the prosecutors in the case who compared the Rafay family murders to a beheading of a U.S. citizen in Iraq during comments to the jury. They will also argue the two men’s rights to a speedy trial were violated by lengthy court fights in Canada over their extradition to the U.S. Burns and Rafay avoided facing the death penalty because of an extradition deal worked out with Canadian authorities after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that was the only way the pair could be turned over.
Mayor: We can get there together
All smoke, no fire

FIREFIGHTERS prepare to clean up at Park Royal Shopping Centre’s north mall Monday morning after a small fire in an electrical room caused the mall to be evacuated. No one was injured in the incident, and there was no damage beyond the casing on a few wires, according to mall officials. The shopping centre was back up and running at 11 a.m.
From page 1
“We have to go now and check with the owner to see if they’re comfortable with going down that road,” he said. “I think it’s good news people see themselves in the future of a revitalized Ambleside and that message really did come out,” said Mayor Pam Goldsmith-Jones. “We really look forward to a good public engagement process so together we can get there.”
New bus lanes aid commute
Bridge approaches and Taylor Way lights will give buses priority TWO new bus-only lanes opened on Marine Drive Monday, part of a project aimed at easing commute times for riders coming on and off the Lions Gate Bridge.
The westbound lane, with space reserved for cyclists, runs from just west of Tatlow Avenue in North Vancouver to the bridge. The eastbound lane, meanwhile, will ferry passengers from Pound Road in West Vancouver to the Taylor Way intersection. The dedicated lanes are in effect 24/7. The new lanes should make rush-hour bus times more reliable, said TransLink spokesman Drew Snider. “They won’t get stuck in traffic as much,” Snider said. “They’ve got that straight route along the priority lanes.” A new traffic-priority signal at Taylor Way and Marine Drive will also allow buses to jump ahead of normal traffic and into the Lions Gate queue. The transit signal comes on after the left-turn signals but before the through-traffic signal, so motorists driving towards Lions Gate Bridge on Marine Drive have to be careful not to anticipate their through-traffic signal turning green. The upgrades are part of a larger project to ease congestion on the North Shore. As part of that endeavour, a new three-lane Capilano Bridge was opened to traffic last month. The new overpass replaces the old Blue Bridge. Considered by some an eyesore and others an icon, the old span will be destroyed, likely starting in July, said a spokesman for the provincial ministry of transportation and infrastructure. — Richard Warnica

Search ended for missing woman in N. Van
James Weldon jweldon@nsnews.com
POLICE have ended the search for a distraught woman whose vehicle was found abandoned near Lynn Canyon on Saturday.
Yoo Chung Choi vanished Friday after a late-night call to her family that left her loved ones concerned for her safety. When her car was found empty the next day near Lynn Canyon suspension bridge, police launched a search. “She was very emotionally distressed,” said Const. Lindsey Houghton, a spokesman for the Vancouver Police Department. “Without getting into any of the content of the phone call, it’s led us to believe that she might be actively looking to harm herself.” Members of North Shore Rescue, the North Vancouver RCMP and park rangers spent much of the weekend scouring the area for Yoo, searching Lynn Creek and the forest around it by foot, by kayak and by helicopter. The Canadian
Coast Guard searched the mouth of the creek in case she had fallen in and been swept as far as the ocean. When no trace of the woman was found by Sunday morning, police terminated the operation. Vancouver’s missing persons section is still actively investigating the disappearance and has not eliminated North Vancouver as a possibility, according to the VPD. “We haven’t concluded either way,” said Houghton. “(But) they didn’t feel there would be any further leads or information gathered if they spent more time there.” The missing woman has not made contact with family or used her bank or credit cards since Friday. Yoo, who is Korean, is five feet two inches tall, 120 pounds with a slim build, long black hair and dark eyes. Anyone who sees her is asked to call 9-1-1 and wait with her until police arrive. A body found in the area Monday was a man’s. No foul play is suspected in that case.
“The government has responded to weeks of public pressure and frankly it’s about time,” said Darryl Walker, president of the B.C. Government Employees Union that represents the sheriffs. Attorney General Barry Penner announced Monday that funding for part-time and auxiliary sheriffs would be restored to former levels. Penner made the move after judges from the provincial court, B.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeal all voiced concerns about the cutbacks that had resulted in judges being asked to run criminal trials without sheriffs to keep order. Several judges, including one B.C. Supreme Court justice presiding over a North Vancouver home invasion trial, refused to continue their trials on days when a sheriff wasn’t available, citing possible security concerns. The cutbacks, which hit the courts over the past month, had affected part-time and auxiliary sheriffs and resulted in a loss of about 34 full-time staff among the approximately 420 sheriffs who work in the courts. The government had proposed a system of “roving” sheriffs to replace in-court security. But judges said that was unworkable. — Jane Seyd

NV man assaults 2 teen girls Terminal flag person hit
Out on bail for one assault, man uses drugs to commit another Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com
A 36-year-old North Vancouver man has been handed a five-year jail sentence after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting two teenaged girls.
The first assault happened in January 2003 when Farhan Farhadi met an 18-year-old student, who was visiting from the U.S., in a bar. She left the club with him that night but had no recollection of doing so. He then drove her to Stanley Park where he forced her to have sex. After, he drove her back to her hotel where she called the police. Investigation of that case was still going on and police were still waiting for DNA test results when Farhadi — who had not been charged — travelled to Mexico. While there, he was arrested and later convicted of sexual assaults on two women in Cancun and sentenced to seven years in jail.
While he was in jail in Mexico, police in Vancouver formally charged him in connection with the Stanley Park assault. His outstanding arrest warrant was revealed after he returned to Canada and applied for a job that required a criminal records check. Farhadi was out on bail pending that court case when he committed another assault of a teenaged girl in North Vancouver in Halloween night last year. The girl was with some friends who called Farhadi to supply them with drugs. When the group called him a second time, Farhadi asked the girl to come with him in the car to get the drugs. Once she was in the vehicle, he gave her Ecstasy and ketamine, a veterinary anesthetic sometimes used as a date rape drug. Farhadi took the girl to an apartment where she blacked out and woke up with him on top of her. On the way back to her friends, he gave her a story to explain their delay and threatened her if she didn’t use it. On June 13, Madam Justice Deborah Kloegman sentenced Farhadi to four years and three months in jail, on top of the seven and a half months he has already spent in custody. Farhadi has also been placed on the sex offender registry for life.
A flag person who was struck by a vehicle near the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal last week has been stabilized in hospital, according to police.
The 54-year-old Vancouver woman was directing traffic near the terminal’s ticket booths at about 3 p.m. Friday when a passing truck and horse trailer clipped her with a protruding awning, according to investigators. The impact spun the woman around, knocked off her hard hart and flung her to the ground. The fall knocked her unconscious. The victim, an employee of Van Isle Traffic Services, was rushed to Lions Gate Hospital in critical condition, said police. Police say she was later stabilized by doctors. No further update on her condition has been released. West Vancouver police and Worksafe BC are investigating the incident. It’s not clear yet whether the driver will be charged, although it doesn’t appear the vehicle was speeding at the time, said Cpl. Jag Johal, a spokesman for the WVPD. “It’s still being looked at by traffic analysts,” said Johal. “It’s more of a workplace accident.” Anyone who saw the collision is asked to call the WVPD at 604-925-7300. — James Weldon
RCMP bust dial-a-dope ring BIKE RACK CLEARANCE
Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com
SIX men, including four from North Vancouver, are facing multiple drug charges after North Vancouver RCMP say they busted a North Shore-based dial-a-dope ring. The arrests come after a lengthy investigation, dating back more than a year, including an undercover sting operation. Drug deals involving members of the group had been going on all last year. As part of the bust, police seized almost 490 grams of cocaine — which they said represented almost 2,450 doses of the drug — and 209
Oxycontin pills. Cpl. Richard De Jong, spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP, said Oxycontin, an opiate-based prescription painkiller, is popular among addicts right now. As part of the bust, police also seized $2,500 in cash and some stolen property. Charged in the case are Mazyar Namiranian, 25, who faces 14 counts of trafficking, Nasser Noori,26,chargedwitheightcountsoftrafficking, Dennis Nozer Kanga, 23, who faces seven counts of trafficking, and Babak Taheripari, 25, charged with three counts of trafficking. All are from North Vancouver. Preston Wallace Hammond, 23, of Richmond, has also been charged with six counts of trafficking and Ibarhim Emad Mizban, 23, of Surrey faces three trafficking charges.

EST Vancouverites who favour an old-fashioned Ambleside, will be pleased with Monday’s council decision to end a redevelopment proposal for the Safeway site. Unveiled at a March 10 public meeting at the West Vancouver Seniors’ Centre, the Y.H. Louie Group proposed either a 15-storey or a 10-storey tower. Absent was anything that resembled what the former official community plan and current zoning allowed. The overwhelming reaction from the approximately 250 people in attendance was negative. The developer’s architect, Jim Hancock of IBI-HB Architects, acknowledged after the meeting that he would go back to the drawing board in order not to “shove anything down someone’s throat.”
That statement, coupled with Mayor Pam Goldsmith-Jones and council’s commitment to a community engagement process to inform the next design, sounds pretty sensible. But one wonders why such a process wasn’t envisaged before — especially with the fanfare and money thrown at the AmblesideNow concept. It is not unheard of for developers to ask for the moon when it comes to redevelopments in the hope of settling for as much profit as possible. We hope such motives are not at play here and that community wishes can be incorporated into a design that satisfies all parties. We note, however, that after the March 10 meeting and Hancock’s pledge to revisit his drawing board, he was still looking for the same overall density of 207,000 square feet.

We can cut commute costs
Dear Editor: My thanks to Elizabeth James, a hundred times, for including the cost per passenger mile for various forms of transportation from SkyTrain to a Toyota Prius in her June 8 column, BC’s TransLink Taking Taxpayers for a Ride. It is rare to see clear “objective” statistics like that in discussions on transit. While partisan-thinking NDPers supported the Millennium Line and partisan B.C. Liberals supported the Canada Line, I always viewed these two lines (and SkyTrain) objectively — that is, how many people do they move and how much does it cost per ride. I did hear some time ago a quote that the actual cost of a ride on the expensive SkyTrain, operating/interest on the $1.2 billion, etc., worked out to about $15 or $20 per ride. Professor Patrick Condon’s data clearly show the car is cheaper, not to mention comfortable, plays your music, is warm and dry, brings home large purchases from the store and you can take your dog along. In short, it is one of the great inventions of the last hundred years. My impression is that these large transit construction projects are pushed by large engineering construction firms and the union workers who work for them. They have the power and election donations to sway the politicians. Working with them is the real estate industry which knows there will be opportunities to rezone to highrises at SkyTrain stops. Buses are relatively cheap — but could even be even cheaper. To make bus commutes more efficient, my suggestion would be to restrict students on U-passes and seniors (God bless them) who are paying very little from using buses in the morning or afternoon rush hours unless they want to pay full fare. They should be told that people going to work are a priority!
CONTACT US
This would free up perhaps a third of the seats during rush hour as most students and seniors would choose to travel in offpeak hours. That would level out the a.m. and p.m. rush hour transit ridership so that everyone gets a seat. We might even be able to reduce the number of extra rush-hour buses and drivers on expensive split shifts. I gather that TransLink will soon be asking municipalities to provide them with more money for their one-third portion of the Evergreen Line. Hopefully your future columns will show whether the mayors and councillors plan to roll over and give TransLink more money — that would be the “partisan” B.C. Liberal farm team members of council — or if they have the backbone to tell TransLink, there is no more money and to get efficient with what they have. Rolf Beltz West Vancouver
Shame on the hit and runner
Dear Editor: This is directed to the person who hit my red Jeep on June 14 in Edgemont Village and didn’t have the decency to leave a note. I now have to pay for the damage that you caused. I am a single mom and I have not budgeted for the $500 this is costing me. I hope you enjoy having my red paint on your black car. You should be ashamed of yourself! Wendy Van Iderstine North Vancouver
Bear protection should be made available to public Dear Editor: Ya know, it always amazes me that these bear problems reach the front page (Bear Charges North Van Woman, Dog, North Shore News, June 15). Who cares, and what do you think those poor bears should do? Have any of you newspaper people suggested that homeowners should purchase some bear spray? Of course everyone has to watch their garbage, but when a bear comes to your door like that, you need to protect yourself with bear spray. It should be made available to the public, or a loud bear (noise) gun thing. My husband and son have travelled many trails, including the West Coast, Nootka Trail, etc., and had bear protection with them which they only used once. It is like a firecracker which is very loud. I personally have not had a bear problem, but anyone living in the upper parts of this community should know better and protect themselves, especially if they have pets. So are you trying to be sensational or should you be better at telling the public how to protect themselves, especially if a bear was that close, one spray and that would have been it. We live where we live and I am tired of hearing these bear stories and then finding out that they are killed. You can’t just trap and move them nearby, they need to be taken far away, maybe the Interior or somewhere like that. Of course, who ever handles that will say it is too expensive. I kind of laugh at our communities’ uselessness on this issue — and it is not a story for the front page. Try again, and make the public aware. Susan Grinnell West Vancouver

Random breath-testing is fine with me
“The reality of impaired driving came to Denise Dubyk’s family the same way it comes to so many others — wWith a knock on the door and a police officer standing on the doorstep.” MADD Canada 20092010 annual report
THE police officer standing on Denise Dubyk’s Calgary doorstep on May 7, 2000 had arrived to tell her that her 32-year-old son-in-law was dead.
Just Asking
Elizabeth James
As Dubyk recalled in her 2010 inaugural statement as president of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD Canada), “Darryl was a passenger in a pickup truck being driven by an impaired driver. He was killed instantly when the pickup hit a parked commercial moving van. The loading mechanism of the van entered Darryl’s side of the vehicle and left him crushed and broken.” In that split second, Darryl’s family entered the tragic world inhabited by victims of drunk drivers. Last September, despite all of the education and the new legislation being enacted across the country, Dubyk told her audience “impaired driving remains the number 1 criminal cause of death in Canada.”
But the law was about to make life a whole lot tougher for impaired drivers in British Columbia. On Sept. 22, 2010, shortly after Dubyk became president of MADD, the province launched new legislation that increased penalties for driving with a blood-alcohol level over 0.05. Six months later West Vancouver Police Chief Peter Lepine, wearing his hat as vicepresident of B.C.’s Association of Chiefs of Police, was glad to announce that the number of October to January impaired driving deaths had dropped from an all-time high of 46 in 2005, to 20 for the same period in 2010-2011. Despite complaints about how they were being enforced, it seemed the new regulations were working. But a recent spike in impaireddriving infractions — and last Wednesday’s riot — suggests

Lepine may have spoken too soon. What is it about the 0.05 level that has restaurant owners and innocent citizens running scared, while other drinkers seem oblivious to the risk? Around 7 p.m. one recent Saturday evening, I visited a local supermarket to buy a few groceries. Idly scanning the tabloids as I waited at the checkout, I chuckled aloud at a headline that proclaimed Osama Bin Laden was still alive and being held in the United States. Curious, the man ahead of me turned to see what had caused my reaction. I explained: he laughed, and we chatted on down the line. My few items tallied, we brushed again as I followed him out of the store. It was a brief encounter between a woman old enough to be a grandmother and a much younger man — complete strangers who somehow made a pleasant connection. Pleasant, but for one thing. What spoiled the encounter was the flush on the man’s face and the aroma around him as he spoke that, together,
suggested he would likely not clear a point-zero-five test. Any hope I harboured that he would carry his bags to one of the nearby apartments evaporated as I watched him walk across the parking lot and climb into his vehicle. What to do now? From past experience, I knew that by the time 9-1-1 operators had connected me with the police and I had given the officer my name, address and telephone number, the driver would have been long gone and out of sight. So, since he was driving in the direction I needed to take, I opted to follow the pickup to see whether a better option would occur. At the first red light, I noted the licence number and thought, “If he takes a highway turnoff, then I’ll park and call 9-1-1 in the hope the police stand a better chance of intercepting him on the straightaway.” Instead, he passed the on-ramps and soon turned into a local residential area. So because his driving reactions seemed reasonable, I decided to “mind my own business” and go on my way. Only when I arrived home did all the what-ifs tumble down:
What if there was a cyclist he couldn’t avoid? What if a child had run into the street? “What else could I have done?” I asked myself. “What should I have done?” the angst continued throughout the evening. The police cannot be everywhere at once, and if officers are attending another incident, response times cannot always be ideal. So, despite opposition from groups concerned about our right to privacy, I have
no reservations about police — courteously — using the random breath-testing tools advocated by MADD (see: www.madd.ca). For me, it all comes down to one simple question: Does our right to live private lives extend to drinking to the point of impairment, if we intend to trash downtown Vancouver, or drive away in a weapon that could make victims out of a single family — let alone the 20 reported by Chief Lepine? rimco@shaw.ca

New homes must be built solar capable Drake Fenton dfenton@nsnews.com
ALL three North Shore municipalities have approved a new building regulation that will require all new single-family homes to be constructed to tap solar energy.
The building regulation will allow homeowners to have solar-heated water through a connection between a solar collector and a home’s hot-water tank. City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto believes that implementing this new regulation will make it more accessible for homeowners to utilize green energy. “If the regulations are in place, I think it will be a lot easier for us to get people to look
at energy saving alternatives,” said Mussatto during a phone interview Wednesday. During the construction phase it will be a requirement for houses to be built to accommodate a future installation of a renewable energy system. All houses will be required to have a designated area for a solar collector. The new building regulation applies exclusively to residential homes and does not apply to commercial buildings. In order to make a home solar ready, homeowners will be paying an additional $200 to $500. The cost will stem from the additional materials required to connect a water tank to the designated solar collector area. Thirty-three other B.C. communities will be joining the North Shore municipalities in the initiative. The regulation will come into effect on June 21.
Some routes get more buses
Drake Fenton dfenton@nsnews.com
TRANSLINK will make commuting on the North Shore an easier task for passengers by the end of June.
Keep all your options open.
Due to recurrent requests by North Shore residents, TransLink will be increasing the frequency of the 211 Seymour/Vancouver and the 239 Capilano University/Park Royal bus routes. The 211 will run more often during peak hours and its schedule will be altered to co-ordinate with the 210 Upper Lynn Valley/Vancouver bus. TransLink expects the amendment will provide consistent seven- to eight-minute frequency between downtown
and Phibbs Exchange during peak hours. The 239 will now be upgraded to TransLink’s Frequent Transit Network, meaning that buses will run no more than 15 minutes apart, seven days a week. The 246 will no longer travel to Park Royal during off-peak hours, instead it will be routed to downtown Vancouver seven days a week. Residents wishing to head to Park Royal from the Edgemont Village/Highland areas will have to transfer at Marine Drive and Garden Avenue, and board either the 239 or 255. Due to a consistent low number of riders, TransLink will be removing the 232 Grouse Mountain/Phibbs Exchange first westbound trip on weekday mornings, and the first trip Saturdays in each direction.

Turn into the correct lane QUESTION:
My question regards right of way for turning vehicles. When turning right at a red light (after stopping of course), I assume I have the right of way in the curb lane over a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction turning left onto the same street who has an inside lane to turn into. My example is Mountain Highway and Fern Street, where southbound Mountain Highway traffic has a long left turn green arrow onto Fern Street. Cars making that left turn often end up in the curb lane of Fern Street instead of the inside lane. Northbound cars on Mountain Highway turning right onto Fern Street often wait for the intersection to clear because of this, when I feel they have the right of way to turn into the curb lane of Fern Street. Am I correct with my assumption? Tom Kurucz
Ask a Cop
Peter DeVries North Vancouver Dear Mr. Kurucz, Thank you for your question. The Provincial Motor Vehicle Act establishes clear rules about turns and yielding. You are asking about right turns on a red light into a two-lane roadway, where vehicles on the opposite side of the intersection who are turning to go the same direction have an advance green
turn arrow. In such situations, you may each proceed when it is safe to do so, bearing in mind that you are required to enter the lane that is closest to you as you turn. For you that is the curb lane. The other driver is required to enter the extreme left hand lane of travel. For him or her, that is the lane closest to the centre divider. Once in your respective lanes, you each must execute any lane changes according to regular lane-change rules. Neither one of you has any right of way over the other, per se. This type of turn is a common source of confusion for some drivers. I encounter one on my way home every day while turning from East 23rd Street to go north on Lonsdale Avenue. Drivers turning north from the opposite side of the street, the westbound lanes of West 23rd, often seem to be under the misconception that they may turn directly into the far (curb) lane, which is
the lane I’m supposed to take, presumably to move them into position to enter Highway 1 eastbound. For this reason, many people who are allowed to turn north on the red light from West 23rd Street do not do so because they fear being struck by a vehicle that may not remain in the appropriate lane. It can be confusing, but the rule underlying the answer is that when turning, drivers are required to turn into the nearest available lane. For drivers making a left-hand turn, that means the inside lane and not the curb lane. Sgt. Peter DeVries Media Relations Officer North Vancouver RCMP

RCMP ask bike owners to take precautions
THE RCMP would like to remind North Shore residents to be conscientious about the safety of their bicycles.
From June 1, 2010 to June 1, 2011 the North Vancouver RCMP received 155 complaints regarding stolen bicycles. The RCMP suggests citizens utilize preventive measures to insure the safety of their bicycle: ■ Bicycles should be stored out of sight, and kept locked even when in a storage locker or garage.
■ A record of a bicycle’s serial number, make, model and colour should be stored at home. ■ When leaving a bike in a public space make sure to use theft protection devices. High quality locks of case-hardened steel are preferable as poor quality locks can easily be cut. ■ Engraving your bicycle and accessories with your driver’s licence number will help ensure your bike can easily be identified. Engravers are on loan at your local community policing office. ■ If your bicycle is stolen, it should be reported immediately to the police. — Drake Fenton

Brenda Leadlay bows out
Presentation House Theatre’s director heading to Magnetic North Drake Fenton dfenton@nsnews.com
NORTH Vancouver’s Presentation House Theater will be looking for a new artistic director when Brenda Leadlay leaves this summer to take on the role of artistic director for the prestigious Magnetic North Theatre Festival.
Leadlay has been in charge of developing programming at Presentation House for the past seven and half years, and has been a driving force in bringing professional theatre to the North Shore. “She has been an integral member of the Presentation House,” said Ian Forsyth, the Director of the Arts Office in North Vancouver. “Under her tutelage the last few years, she has turned Presentation House into a producing theatre company that has become very highly regarded and respected at other levels than just our local level.” Leadlay believes her time at Presentation House has provided the theatre with enough stability to remain a fixture in the North Shore’s arts community.
“Having spent the last seven and half years building the program at Presentation House, I’m confident that the theatre is now in a strong position,” she said in a phone interview June 14. “I think that the theatre will be successful, and will continue to be successful. The foundation is in place.” Leadlay joined Presentation House in 2003 with a mandate to develop the programming at the theatre. In 2005, she launched the Third Street Theatre season, which brought professional theatre to North Vancouver. That year, Leadlay ran a three-play season that saw plays produced with a mix of both professional and amateur actors. In 2008-09, through Leadlay’s initiative, Presentation House launched its first professional theatre season, the only one of its kind on the North Shore. Under Leadlay’s guidance the theatre has produced original Canadian plays, some of which have had their world premiers at Presentation House, allowed well-known actors like Jay Brazeau to appear in their own community and given professional actors like Nicola Cavendish an opportunity to direct. Though Leadlay has
Brenda Leadlay rapidly developed the theatre’s programming, her time there has not been without challenges. In 2009, B.C. arts groups lost funding from B.C. gaming revenue. This equated to an annual loss of $38,000 for Presentation House Theatre and required the organization to request emergency funding from City of North Vancouver council. “That was a big hit,” said Leadlay. “That was the reason we requested emergency funding, it was too hard of a hit for us.” The city provided the theatre a one-time emergency grant of $25,000. Without the B.C. gaming grant, Leadlay and the theatre have had to actively pursue funding from both the public and private sectors. “When I took over [in 2003] the only funding came from the municipalities and the
B.C. gaming grant,” she said. “Now the board of directors is much stronger than it used to be, and they are doing a lot more to assist with fundraising in the private sector, which is what needs to happen with Presentation House.” Another continuous problem Leadlay has faced is a lack of exposure. “There are many people in the community that don’t know that Presentation House has transformed itself into a professional theatre company,” she said. “I don’t think people realize the quality of work being done (here). The word is spreading, but slowly.” Leadlay feels that although Presentation House has faced its share of trials, it will continue to grow and be successful on the North Shore. Through recent funding from the B.C. Arts Council, the theatre has been able to hire additional staff, including a much-needed marketing director. In Leadlay’s opinion, it will be paramount to the future of the theatre for it to reach out and connect with the community. “We need to make sure we are no longer the best kept secret on the North Shore.” Presentation House Theatre will be holding its annual fundraiser on Thursday, June 23. The North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce Governors’ Gala will be held at the Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier. For more information go to www.phtheatre.org.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to HOME & GARDEN
Container gardens suit small spaces
NOT everyone has the luxury of having a piece of earth to call their own but a lovely display of foliage and flowers can be achieved in the smallest of spaces — on the windowsill, the porch, balcony, deck or whatever space you have available.
Dig Deep
It doesn’t take much effort Todd Major or cost to create some beauty and provide colour to cheer up your home and the easiest way to achieve summer colour in a small space is to grow ornamental plants or veggies in containers. Container growing is not difficult. Everyone should try it and with a little knowledge, beautiful creations are possible. To get started choose any container you like — something that suits your sense of taste and style and don’t worry about what everyone else thinks; it’s your choice. Containers now come in plastic, fibreglass, stone, concrete, terra cotta, various metals, marble, wood, recycled drums, old buckets, bathtubs and so many other forms that even the most discerning taste or limited budget should be able to find one to suit. If you want your container to be used year round then you have to choose a type that will not crack during winter frost. The most important thing that your container must have is drainage holes in the bottom — more than one, perhaps three or four but not so many that it looks like Swiss cheese. Plants grown in containers that do not drain will die a slow, suffocating death. The type of potting soil you use can ranges from high-tech, store-bought potting mixes to whatever soil is available from the garden or compost. The key component of a container soil mix is that it should be well aerated so it will breathe properly in the small surface area of the container. However, many of my outdoor containers and some of my indoor containers are grown exclusively in my home-grown compost combined with a few rocks for drainage. Keep in mind that home-made soil mixes will compress over time and loose aeration, so these types of mixes must be changed more frequently than custom potting mixes sold at the garden centre. Do not add sand to improve the aeration of a homemade soil mix. The sand will plug up the pore space in the soil and prevent good aeration. If you want to increase aeration of a homemade soil mix then use angular rocks, perlite or foam packing chips. Soils that resist compression will provide the best growing environment for plants in pots. There is an old myth that says always place shards of old pots, rocks, packaging foam or other drainage-like items in the bottom of the container. I am not sure how this erroneous myth got started, probably because someone didn’t drill holes in the bottom of their pot, but that myth is completely wrong. Do not add anything to the bottom of the container — nothing, except soil right to the

causing the light to illuminate. Place the tea light into the fresh water with your cut flowers. During the evening the light will give off a soft glow that will last for many hours. Here are a few ideas on how to use these lights. Tall, clear vases work best for this type of arrangement. The light will illuminate the whole vase showcasing your flowers. Remember to place the immersible tea light into the water just before your guests arrive. Another nice use for these lights is to use them in coloured water. Simply fill various shapes and sizes of vases with tap water at room temperature and place one or two drops of food colouring into the container. Mix up the drops until the desired colour is achieved. Choose varying shades of one colour or perhaps two to three different colours. Place your immersible lights inside the vases. This is a pretty table arrangement for an outdoor party. Michaels sells these little lights in their floral aisle in two different package sizes: $11.99 for four lights and $29.99 for 12. These lights are also available in blue, red and purple. lunter@shaw.ca

Eco-friendly green roof an age-old concept Building by Design Kevin Vallely
RECENT years have seen a clear and defined shift to a more ecologically conscious building industry.
More and more people are looking for products and technologies that not only effectively do the job they are meant to do but also reflect an eco-friendly awareness when doing it. The construction industry is responding. There’s no question that technological advancements in the building industry are allowing us to do more with less and are giving us more ecologically minded options but many of the green building advancements we see today are being created by the simple reintroduction of building practices that have existed all along.
Case in point: the green roof. The green roof or “living roof” is commonly recognized as a modern, environmentally conscious alternative to a standard asphalt roof but the notion of having contemporary beginnings couldn’t be further from the truth. Archaeological findings on the northern tip of Newfoundland have unearthed the remains of Lief Eriksson’s ancient Norse settlement and point to the use of sod roof dwellings by Viking explorers over a thousand years ago. This is no surprise of course as it was a common building practice for the Scandinavians of yore to use sod atop structures of heavy timber and birch bark to create effective insulating and water resistant roof systems. For these ancient people, the green roof was a simple and effective sheltering system created from building materials that were readily at hand. The green roof as we know it today is clearly different from the sod roof of the past but the fundamental concept behind the two remains the same. What we define as the
“modern” green roof — the integration of a growing medium over a waterproof roof membrane with the deliberate intent of supporting vegetation growth — was first developed in Germany in the 1960s. German designers were first drawn to the idea of a living roof purely along esthetic lines recognizing that the incorporation of a growing medium atop a building’s roof would enhance the beauty of the building. But in 1970, the German landscape architect Hans Luz challenged this perception by suggesting that a green roof was far more than a simple decorative covering but rather a feature that would profoundly improve the quality of the urban environment. Today, more than 40 years later, the green roof has finally received mainstream recognition as an ecologically minded system that adds to any sustainable urban management plan. The modern green roof possesses many benefits that make it an excellent environmentally conscious alternative. A green roof greatly increases the insulating capacity of a roof system while protecting the waterproof membrane of the roof below.
The added mass and thickness of the system provides for excellent sound insulation as well.
Storm-water runoff is greatly decreased by a living roof as the growing medium and vegetation retain large
amounts of water that can be released back into the See A Living page 17

Individuality rules today’s best container garden designs From page 13 bottom of the pot. Adding anything to the bottom of the container simply perches the soil’s water table above the drainage item and deprives your plants of a deeper root zone. Some people also add landscape cloth to the bottom of the pot to prevent soil from running out or to prevent leaching which prevents staining of the deck under the pot. All soils that are watered in a containers will leach out some soil and coloured water for a while, but this will end after a couple of waterings when the soil settles down. Adding landscape cloth, burlap or any other drainage-limiting membrane will cause your plants to suffocate slowly as they drown

in the restricted water drainage. If you do not want the water from your pots sitting on your deck’s surface, use a tray under the pot, choose pots with built-in reservoirs which are expensive and usually look like they belong in a shopping centre, or do not have pots on your deck. The physical laws of gravity, water movement and leaching cannot be altered by landscape cloth or anything else. Twenty years ago the selection of plants for containers was done within very well structured guidelines as told to us by so many selfproclaimed container design gurus. Today I am happy to say that all those archaic rules of container gardening decorum have been washed away by the creativity of many gardeners around the world who did it their way and did it better. Individuality rules today in the world of container gardening and that is why so many people who may not be avid gardeners grow plants in containers. Grow what you want in your container whether it’s big, small, evergreen, perennial, food for the stomach or food for the eyes.

A living roof reduces heat gain From page 15 environment at a more manageable rate. Much of this moisture is released through the process of evaporation which, in itself, creates a cooling effect that helps reduce the urban heat-island phenomena that is so common in our cities today. The large-surface tar and gravel roofs that blanket a typical city roofscape absorb solar radiation and re-emit it back into the city as heat. There’s a reason cities are significantly warmer than the areas that surround them. A green roof helps reduce

this heat gain. A living roof is exactly that, a natural surface that provides a habitat for birds and insects while acting as a carbon sink by drawing carbon dioxide out of the air. As we move forward to create a more ecologically friendly future we might be surprised to find that some answers lie in the past. Kevin Vallely is a residential designer in North Vancouver.

PARENTING
Car seats reduce risk
“CHILD passenger safety is a very important issue in British Columbia,” says Marg Deibert, child passenger safety educator for the BCAA Road Safety Foundation and the ICBC Child Passenger Safety program.
“Car crashes are still one of the leading causes of accidental death among children in this province, but using a child car seat can reduce the risk of injury and death by up to 85 per cent.” June is Child Passenger Safety month. When we put the kids in the car to go to the beach, on holidays or running errands it’s important to ensure that they are seated safely and buckled up securely. In their first nine years of life children grow through four distinct car seat stages. It is important to choose the child car seat that is best for your child. Stage 1: From birth to one year and until your child is nine kilograms (20 lbs.), your child must be restrained in a rear-facing child car seat. Stage 2: Your child has outgrown their rear-facing

seat; is at least one year, and weighs more than 9 kg (20 lbs.) and can now ride in a forward-facing child car seat. Stage 3: Your child has outgrown a forward-facing car seat, and is at least 18 kg (40 lbs) and requires a booster seat. The booster seat lifts the child up so that the seat belt is positioned correctly. In B.C. a child must be in an age- and weight-appropriate child car seat or booster seat until their ninth birthday or 145 centimetres (4’9”) in height. Stage 4: Your child is at least nine years old, or at least 145 cm (4’9”) tall, and at the appropriate size for a seat belt. The BCAA Road Safety
Program with the ICBC Child Passenger Safety Program educates parents and caregivers about the importance of child passenger safety through their toll-free information line and by supporting workshops throughout the province. The BCAA Road Safety Foundation is a non-profit registered charity working with families, communities and business partners to reduce the number and severity of traffic crashes and injuries in B.C. For more information visit www. BCAATSF.ca. There is a lot of information about child passenger safety available for parents. But the trick is to get the squealing, wriggling child into her seat. When a kid decides she hates her seat, it can be a challenge. You’d think that an adult could easily pop a preschooler or toddler into her seat but we all know that it can be extremely difficult. But we have to do it. Deciding just this once to let her ride with a regular belt will make the next car ride even trickier. Kids need to learn right from the start that See Teach page 20

Teach kids that ‘buckle up’ is for all From page 19 they must always sit in their car seats. If you make it a rule right from the start and never back down most kids will just take sitting in their seat as a given. When a child is fighting against the seat, try to figure out the problem. Is the sun in her eyes? Did she drop a pointy toy that is digging into her? When she sees that you want to solve the problem she will be more co-operative. The bottom line, however, is you are not starting the car until all the kids are in their seats with the belts fastened and all the adults are wearing their belts. This will teach the kids that being seated safely is an automatic whenever anyone — adult or child — is in the car.

TEAM WWHD ACHIEVES THEIR GOAL for the 2011 Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting BC Cancer Foundation
The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting BC Cancer Foundation was an epic two-day, Vancouver to Seattle cycling event. This year the June 18-19,2011 event raised a record-setting $11.1 million. There were 2,879 riders cycling a 240 km in this powerful call to action for cancer patients, survivors and their supporters. Team WWHD (What Would Heidi Do?) had 30 members, including six members from the North Vancouver’s Canadian Tire, several other Canadian Tire Franchise Owners, and friends and family from all across Canada. The team exceeded their goal by raising $154,000! “We put this team together because we know that cancer affects everyone as it affected Heidi MacRae, someone close to our hearts and who actively supported the community. By riding in this event we felt we were doing something for the cause and Heidi would be proud and thankful to each and every one of us. It’s a chance to roll closer to the end of cancer. It was fun doing it as collegues, family and friends
sharing stories about sore muscles, did training rides together, helped each other to fundraise, and all while generating awareness for critical cancer research at the BC Cancer Foundation. It really is a great cause to get involved with and an awesome triumph in a physical sense and emotionally as well,” said Tanya a Canadian Tire North Vancouver Team WWHD member. Funds from The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer benefit the BC Cancer Foundation, a B.C.-based charity that raises funds for the BC Cancer Agency - a province-wide, populationbased cancer control organization. The funds raised stay in B.C. and benefit cancer patients across all of British Columbia. WWHD The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer is a powerful movement one of hope, healing, celebration and optimism where thousands of cyclists join together to raise funds and awareness in order to conquer cancer.

Symons’ beautiful photographs brighten up the book and do an excellent job at illustrating the subject matter. Simple ideas like weaving the stems of lavender to make a wand are something that can be done with your children and can make lovely gifts.
by Christina Symons & John Gillespie (Harbour Publishing, 208 pages)
Gillespie’s work as a landscape designer is apparent with the many suggestions for creating interesting additions to the garden, such as a living fence or unique stonework for edging or paths.

than gamey, and well-sided by bacon and pea lentils and Parsnip chips. A deeply flavoured Australian Rib Eye ($24.00) came on a feathery bed of celeriac pomme purée and large-diced veggies. The steak was tasty, but I would rather see beef sourced from closer, like Alberta or the B.C. interior. I’m not a fanatic locavore, but whenever possible I like to see restaurants supporting other local industries. And as we all know, it’s better for our environment when our food doesn’t have to travel far to get to us. The value on the menu extends to the wine list, a small selection that offers a smaller than normal markup. The bottle of Argentine Malbes we shared was $25, and many were in the same range. Even with a beer to start and dessert (a luscious pot de creme), our total bill was just $111.44, including HST. Calvin’s Cafe and Catering is at 3720 Mt. Seymour Pkwy., North Vancouver. Call 604-929-0990 for more information.

IF you want the foam and flavoured “pearls” of molecular gastronomy, unusual organ meats cooked sous vide or the rarest of Himalayan salts and fresh churned butter on the table, you may have to go downtown. But if it’s well made favourites you’re after — in ample portions and served blessedly hot — then Calvin’s Café is your spot. After 18 years, the cherished Dundarave darling recently moved operations to owner Milo Bigler’s own neighbourhood of Deep Cove, and the relocation seems to be paying off. As well as making it a shorter commute for him and his family, the bright, groundlevel space has a slick new kitchen and lots more seating, which should help to alleviate the line-ups for weekend brunch. Or maybe not. Used to be that Calvin’s only ever served breakfast and brunch, and it’s still best known for its Swiss Rosti breakfast: a heaping plate of shredded potatoes, bacon and onions, topped with Swiss cheese and served with two eggs any style and hollandaise sauce. But for the past 14 years, the restaurant has also dished up dinner in the evening, and as of a few weeks ago, it’s available at the new location as well. I took Big J there for

Calvin’s new room has plenty of windows to let in the light and scenic photos of nearby trails and forest, but otherwise it’s a simple space without any pretension: warm tan walls, quiet carpet, simple wood tables and chairs. It is décor that goes well with food that is honest, delicious and well priced.

Onion Soup had already been slurped up by other customers, we started with the house riff on Caesar Salad ($7.50), farm-fresh romaine coated in housemade dressing, grated Parmesan and squeezed with lemon. The calamari ($7.50), not rubbery and tumbled in a super-crispy breading, was made even better with the piercing tang of red pepper aioli for dipping; a nice change from yogurt dip. Mains run from $10 to $25, and we opted to try the high side of those.

Summer: made for ice cream food calendar From page 33
Angela Shellard
Contributing Writer
IT’S official — summer started yesterday and to me that means ICE CREAM! Here are some delightfully easy ways to turn storebought ice cream into yummy desserts. I recommend using premium ice cream like Häagen-Dazs or Ben & Jerry’s — it freezes more firmly and tastes much better than the generic store brands.
Cruncheroo Squares 4 cups vanilla ice cream (or any other flavour you think would work; butter pecan, maple walnut or chocolate would all be good) 1½ cups Rice Krispies 1 cup toasted shredded coconut (toast on a baking sheet at 325 degrees for 5 minutes or until golden, stirring once or twice) ¾ cup chopped toasted nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts or
hazelnuts) ¼ cup packed brown sugar ¼ cup butter, melted Soften ice cream in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together remaining ingredients. Spread half the mixture in the bottom of an eight-by-eight-inch glass baking dish. Spoon ice cream over top, smoothing with an offset spatula; sprinkle remaining coconut mixture over top and pat down gently. Freeze until firm. Let stand at room temperature for a few minutes then cut into squares. Makes six servings.
Barbecue Bananas Foster ¾ cup packed brown sugar ¼ cup butter ¼ cup whipping cream 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup 2 firm ripe bananas 2 Tbsp rum 3 cups vanilla ice cream In a heavy skillet with a heat-proof handle, combine sugar, butter, cream and maple syrup. Place on grill
over medium-low heat; cook, stirring often, until small bubbles form around the edge of the pan, about eight minutes – do not boil. While sauce is cooking, peel and cut bananas into quarters lengthwise and cut each quarter into two-inch lengths. Add to pan along with rum; stir over heat for two to three minutes until just heated through. Serve over ice cream. Makes four servings.
Mocha Toffee Squares The chocolate sauce recipe makes about 2½ cups, but I’ve never heard anyone complain about having leftover chocolate sauce. 4 cups coffee ice cream, softened at room temperature 1½ cups chocolate wafer crumbs ¼ cup butter, melted 4 Skor chocolate bars, chopped ½ cup chocolate sauce (recipe follows) Line an eight-by-eight-inch metal cake pan with plastic wrap, letting wrap hang over edges to use as handles (If you spray the pan lightly with
cooking spray first it keeps the wrap from sliding around). In a bowl, stir together wafer crumbs and butter; press into bottom of pan. Freeze for 10 minutes. Spread half of the ice cream over crumb mixture; sprinkle with chopped chocolate bars (press them lightly into ice cream). Spread with remaining ice cream. Freeze until firm. Lift up plastic wrap handles to remove dessert from pan and cut into six pieces. Drizzle each serving with chocolate sauce.
Chocolate Sauce: 1 cup water ½ cup sugar ½ cup light corn syrup ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa, preferably Dutch processed 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped In a medium saucepan, whisk together first four ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once it’s just begun to boil remove from heat and stir in chopped chocolate until melted. Let sauce stand to thicken for a few hours. Store leftover sauce covered in the refrigerator; rewarm before serving.

SUMMERTIME means vacation time, and for most Canadians that means a family road trip.
released by BMO Bank of Montreal, almost 80 per cent of Canadians will take a summer vacation this year and the majority plan to vacation within Canada. The poll also indicated one in three will enjoy short weekend jaunts and natural and cultural attractions
It could also mean a big hit to the wallet. According to a survey

Average gas prices per litre on June 1, 2011 were $1.30. On June 1, 2009, they were $1 — that’s a 30 per cent difference. If gas prices stay at current levels, the graphic above demonstrates how much more Canadian summer road warriors can expect to pay for gas on these popular road trips. Here are some tips to help vacationers conserve gas and keep their fuel costs down. ■ Tune up before you head out. An engine that runs properly will burn fuel an average of four per cent more efficiently. ■ Relax and enjoy the ride. According to The Canadian Automobile Association it takes 20 per cent more fuel to go the same distance at 120 km/h than it does at 100 km/h. Avoid speeding and use cruise control on longer stretches. ■ Quit idling around. A few minutes of idling burns through more gas than turning your car off and on. ■ Use loyalty rewards to cut fuel costs.
all manner of minor damage, Palmer does an excellent job of walking you through each procedure. Every description is illustrated with colour photographs and informative captions. At the start of each project is a list that tells what tools are required, how difficult it is to do, how long it will take, what supplies you’ll need and how much they will cost. Palmer covers far more than just improving your car’s appearance. Repairing sticking power windows, replacing a side mirror, popping out small dents and much more are featured in this valuable resource book.
Terry Peters tpeters@nsnews.com
IT doesn’t always require a big repair to improve the look of your car.
■ Control the car climate wisely. Air conditioning can drain your gas tank and so can driving with the windows open. Keep your car cool by parking in the shade, and on cool mornings and evenings, just use the car fan to keep air flowing inside the vehicle. ■ Slow mo is the way to go. Fill your tank slowly by easing up on the gas nozzle trigger. Turbulence from faster-flowing gas entering your tank will create gas vapours that your engine can’t use and that will ultimately escape from your tank. ■ Keep your tank full. Gasoline that sloshes around in the empty space in your tank tends to vaporize and eventually leaks away. ■ Keep your tires properly inflated. Underinflated tires waste gas. You can improve your car’s fuel economy by up to three per cent simply by inflating tires to the proper pressure. Be sure to check your alignment, too. Bonus tip: Roadside assistance plans can save you money. Most plans cover towing, battery boost or flat tire change. BMO Bank of Montreal MasterCard’s enhanced roadside assistance package includes unlimited service calls, up to 250 km towing distance, and free coverage for additional cardholders ($98/year).
Sometimes it is more about dealing with the little things. Scratches, dull paint, upholstery stains and dents are all things that bring down the appearance and value of your vehicle. Kris Palmer shows how with some basic tools and a
little effort you can turn back the clock on your car. Filled with tips and techniques for dealing with

COLLISION & RUST REPAIR
TUNE UP AND DRIVE
Danger on the road YOU might think you are most at risk on the road from drinking drivers and those who are talking on their cell phones.
But during the recent national Road Safety Week the Insurance Bureau of Canada reminded Canadians that distracted driving is about more than using hand-held devices. In a release, Lindsay Olson of IBC said while putting down the cellphone is a good first step, drivers are urged to limit all distractions. Eating behind the wheel, fiddling with the radio and reaching for a fallen object are just a few examples of distractions that are dangerous and avoidable. “The danger is more than taking your hands off the wheel; the real danger is taking your attention away from the road and the cars around you,” said Olson. Studies show that 80 per cent of collisions are the result of driver distraction. To help drivers minimize distractions, IBC offers a helpful tip sheet on how to avoid being a distracted driver. ■ Eat before driving so you won’t be tempted to juggle distracting snacks behind the wheel. ■ Pull over and park before using a cellphone or other hand-held electronic device. ■ Have a “driving” playlist on your MP3 player and start it before you set the car in motion. That way, you won’t be fumbling to find a good song while driving. ■ If something falls, leave it. Never reach for an object while driving, unless it is impeding your ability to control the car; in that case, pull over and deal with it. ■ Deal with predictable distractions before hitting the road. Check the map, adjust the seat, the climate control and the radio before taking the car out of park. ■ If you are driving with pets, make sure they are safely secured and in the back seat. ■ Complete your grooming before you set out, so you won’t have to apply makeup, comb your hair or shave while driving. ■ Listen to your GPS device; don’t look at it. ■ Make all necessary wardrobe changes before you enter the car. ■ If a situation can’t wait - the kids are acting up in the back seat or you need to refer to a map or take an emergency call - pull over somewhere safe to deal with it.

FROM the driver’s seat, you may not notice brake lights and turn signals that aren’t working. Have them inspected at every oil change. Miss-aimed headlights blind other drivers and reduce your ability to see the road. ■ Don’t overdrive your headlights; you should be able

whether or not your headlights should be on, turn them on. Lights not only help you see better in early twilight, they also make it easier for other
Looking Down The Road Looking Down the Road is Be Car Care Aware’s 2011 theme to increase consumer awareness about proper vehicle maintenance, safety and repair. Research shows that there is $10 billion worth of vehicle maintenance and repair being neglected by Canadian consumers. Neglected vehicle care almost always means much higher costs down the line, either in the form of more extensive repairs or lost resale value. Be Car Care Aware is a campaign to inform Canadian drivers about the benefits of regular, vehicle care, maintenance and repair. The campaign’s purpose is to empower drivers to make sensible decisions about their vehicles and avoid costly repairs due to neglect. Be Car Care Aware is spearheaded by the non-profit advocacy group Car Care Canada and built around three key themes: safety, environmental protection and maximizing value for money spent on vehicle maintenance and repairs.

What started in a humble storage room is now a thriving, 1,500-square-foot shop run by more than 70 volunteers.

“We bought a 2-bedroom home at District Crossing.” Pam, Kevin & daughter Maddie
District Crossing. Buy the numbers. When you come in to view District Crossing, you will see real display homes in the actual building. They’re not mock-ups in a sales centre with artificial views. What you see is literally what you will get, and with construction well along, you won’t have to wait for years to move into your new home. And now, owning at home at District Crossing is even easier with only a 5% deposit due at signing and an additional 5% due two months later. Shop and compare. Our purchasers did and they came back to buy at District Crossing. Unbeatable prices and quality. Below is an example of just how easy and affordable it can be to buy a new home and move in this year.

Boxer teaches the sweet science
North Vancouver’s Dave Brett says sport helped him to transform his life Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com
THE school lockers gave a tinny reverberation as the fat kid with glasses was shoved into them.

Before he was a boxer and before he was the owner of Griffins Boxing and Fitness in North Vancouver, Dave Brett was a kid who got pushed around in school, when he bothered to go. His time outside the classroom was spent doing what he simply termed: “stupid things.” Brett, 33, has an appreciation for the sweet science that goes far beyond bobbing and weaving and throwing a solid left hook. “I was a little punk kid,” he said. “I found boxing really focused my energy and I was able to get myself out of trouble.” Brett is trying to use boxing to help other kids emerge gracefully from the turbulence of adolescence with An Evening at Ringside, Griffins’ sixth annual charity gala, scheduled for June 25 at the JP Fell Armoury. The fundraiser for Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver is scheduled to feature amateur boxing matches, live music, dinner, drinks, dancing, and silent and live auctions. “You don’t have to be a boxing lover to go,” Brett said. Brett compared the boxing matches at the gala to the dancers at a cabaret, serving as either the centrepiece of the evening or the scenery, depending on how you want to spend the night. The event raised $5,846 for Big Brothers last year. Inspired by his mother’s three battles with breast cancer, Brett began hosting the annual event six years ago. After raising money to help combat breast cancer, Brett said he wanted to work with Big Brothers. Although he wasn’t aided by the charity as a young person, he said he understands the importance of those relationships. “I definitely had a big brother when I was growing up,” he said, talking about an older person who looked out for him. “This particular person was massive in my life when I was going through all the stuff that kids go through.” Big Brothers tries to be the catalyst for a change in lifestyle similar to the one Brett experienced. While he credits boxing for his physical change, he said the novel The Power of One led to a philosophical shift. “I read this book and it changed my life. I stopped doing stupid stuff, I went back to (high) school,” he said, discussing his eventual graduation from the University of B.C. Wanting to help other people make similar transformations, Brett started teaching the sweet science, eventually opening Griffins. See Ringside page 53

Ringside fundraiser to help Big Brothers From page 52
“I did it all backwards,” he said. “I never wanted to be a boxer, per se, I always wanted to teach people and to help people.” After 12 years as an instructor, Brett said he wanted to become a better teacher by learning just what it took to win a match and overcome the fear that coils around a boxer while his gloves are being laced up. “You get those jitters, I’ll tell you, it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, hands down.” Brett most recently dealt with that stomachseizing nervousness before a controversial Golden Gloves bout with heavyweight slugger Nik Stevenson last April. Utilizing skills he acquired over 12 years of coaching and training on the North Shore, Brett built a comfortable lead in the threeround fight. But with fatigue setting in and time running out, he grabbed the younger fighter for the third time and the referee stepped in. “Two points were taken off on the computer,” said Rick Shannon, Stevenson’s trainer. “That’s when the controversy started.” Two points should have been added to Stevenson’s score because of Brett’s foul, which occurred with approximately 15 seconds remaining in the fight. Brett, who was leading by either four or six points before the foul, depending on whose recollection you believe, lost the fight 10-8. “Maybe there was a mechanical glitch in the computer,” Shannon said. Brett said the fight was marred by simple human error. “One of the judges had pushed the foul button a couple too many times,” he said.
Still, Brett regrets the clinch. “I was a little bit tired, obviously, and I held the opponent, which obviously you’re not supposed to do.” The final score elicited boos and catcalls from the crowd, according to Brett. “Everyone knew I won. I knew I won, and it’s not me being a poor sport, these are just legitimate facts.” After the decision was announced, Brett said he raised Stevenson’s hand and opened the ropes for the construction-worker/boxer, demonstrating the sportsmanship he tries to instill in young boxers who use his gym. While boxers may get scared before a fight, Brett said no one should be nervous while walking into Griffins. “It’s not that scary boxing gym feel,” he said, discussing the inclusive nature of his gym. Griffins is also a good place for kids who need direction, according to Brett. “We don’t teach kids how to say ‘yes, sir’ and respect others, we teach kids how to respect themselves, and because of that they respect others,” he said. Working with kids who remind him of the difficulties of his teen years has been both tough and rewarding for Brett. “A couple disappointments,” he said. “But there’s been a couple kids that have just been amazing.” After weeks of morning sprints and sparring, Brett’s rematch with Stevenson was recently cancelled. But despite the setback, the boxer said he’s living the life he chose. “That’s what I’ve always wanted, is to be that coach that’s able to help change people’s lives,” he said. “You don’t use boxing to beat the crap out of people, you use boxing to develop as a person.”

COKER, Bruce Ritchie Passed away peacefully June 17th, after a short stay in St. Paul’s Intensive and Palliative Care units and years of defying the medical odds - having lived a rich and vital life despite dealing with a progressively debilitating lung disease. Born in Toronto, Ontario in 1936, Bruce is survived by his loving friend and wife of 49 years Patricia Coker; their eldest son Jimmy Coker, his wife Jean and their three children Makena, Sawyer, and Saxon; their younger son Jeffrey Coker, his wife Brenda and their three children Ryder, Nash and Tate; his sister Marlene, and brothers Alan and Byron Coker and their families. Bruce was blessed to be able to spend the last 35 years of his life pursuing his passion for building pine furniture and collecting and restoring Canadian heritage antiques. Bruce’s two sons Jimmy and Jeffery Coker share their father’s love of building and finishing fine furniture - learning their craft at their father’s side in the family business “Old Tyme Builder’s Gallery” - before launching their own successful woodworking and furniture design and building businesses. Bruce will be remembered by all for his easy-going nature, lack of pretense and willingness to accept, without judgment, everyone who passed through his life. The lives of his family and many friends are richer for having known Bruce. Like the antiques he so loved, he left a priceless legacy for those who were fortunate enough to know him. A memorial service to celebrate Bruce’s life will be held on Thursday, June 30th at 2:00 pm at First Memorial Funeral Services, Boal Chapel in North Vancouver. In lieu flowers or of other expressions of sympathy, donations can be sent to the British Columbia Lung Association. The Coker family wish to express their sincere thanks to the medical professionals who have contributed to Bruce’s extraordinary story of survival over the years, and to the doctors and nurses at St. Paul’s hospital who provided such compassionate care during the last days of Bruce’s life.

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! June 22
