Fire wrecks nine WV businesses

Ambleside commercial complex suffers severe water damage Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

AT least nine West Vancouver businesses suffered significant damage Sunday night after fire broke out in an Ambleside commercial building. West Vancouver firefighters raced to the 1300-block of Marine Drive around 10 p.m when numerous witnesses called to report smoke and flames coming from the roof of Tasos restaurant. Crews kept the blaze contained to the kitchen, but eight neighbouring businesses suffered severe water damage, according to West Vancouver assistant fire chief Martin Ernst. The building sat boarded up and guarded by security Tuesday morning. A structural engineer was on site later that day to gauge the building’s integrity. “The upper floor is definitely not safe,” said Ernst. “It appears that on the upper floor, the roof section in part of it is See Fire’s page 3

Lawyer questions credibility of witness testimony

Convicted North Van axe killer plans appeal Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A lawyer for a North Vancouver man found guilty of first-degree murder in the axe killing of a fellow drug dealer will likely be appealing his conviction. Darcy Lawrence, lawyer for Babak Najafi-Chaghabouri, 30, said Friday an appeal is likely, based on the credibility of witnesses who testified in the trial. In May, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Barry Davies convicted Najafi-Chaghabouri of firstdegree murder for killing Ronak “Ronny” Wagad with a hatchet at a remote site near the Fraser River on Feb. 23, 2009. Davies found a second man accused in the

grousemountain

killing — Charles Anthony Leslie, 34 — guilty of second-degree murder. The verdict followed a lengthy trial in which both men pointed to the other as responsible for the gruesome killing. Davies ruled both men were ultimately responsible for Wagad’s death, but NajafiChaghabouri was the one who wielded the hatchet for the fatal blows. Key evidence in the trial came from Travis Winterlik, an accomplice of Najafi-Chaghabouri and Leslie, who helped lead police to Wagad’s remains and testified in exchange for immunity from prosecution. Ali Reza Alamdari, who was Najafi-Chaghabouri’s roommate in North Vancouver, testified that Najafi-Chaghabouri confessed See Conviction page 3

Man who conned seniors gets parole Disgraced civil servant deemed risk to re-offend

Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A con man who ripped off vulnerable North Vancouver seniors for more than $1 million has been granted full parole after serving half of his sentence — even though the parole board deemed him a risk to re-offend in the future.

“The board has considerable concerns about your risk for committing non-violent fraud type crimes in the community,” the parole board told Bryan Tickell, 34, before springing him from jail. But under federal rules in place when

Tickell was sentenced, the parole board could only deny him parole if he was a risk to commit violent crimes. Tickell was sentenced to six years in jail in June 2009 after pleading guilty to fraud, breach of trust and forgery for scamming elderly clients while he was a caseworker with the Ofﬁce of the Public Trustee. As a civil servant, Tickell was sworn to protect the interests of elderly people who had been declared incapable of managing their own ﬁnancial and legal affairs. Instead, he used the system to steal from his clients. In one case he transferred an undeveloped lot belonging to an elderly North Vancouver woman into his own name, forging signatures and claiming that he was the woman’s grandson. Soon after the transfer was complete, he sold the property for more than $1 million. While some of the money has since been recovered, the parole board noted in its written reasons Tickell still owes the Public Trustee

almost $130,000. This month’s parole decision is actually the second time Tickell has been granted parole. He was originally given accelerated day parole in February 2010 after serving only eight months of his sentence and spent a year living in a halfway house. But when Tickell subsequently applied for full parole the board turned him down, saying he hadn’t shown insight into the “predatory nature” of his crime or proved that he was capable of holding down a job. He went back to jail. When Tickell applied again for day parole in May of 2012, he was again rejected after the board told him “your presentation was glib and lacked credibility,” adding Tickell had “a complete lack of insight” into the causes and consequences of his crimes. In March of last year, the federal government passed a law that abolished the early parole program. But a B.C. Supreme Court decision this summer ruled it was unconstitutional to

deny early parole to people who had already been sentenced before the laws changed. Tickell’s case fit that description. This month, he was granted early parole under the old rules despite his attitude described by the parole board as “blatant disregard for the rules of the law” and psychopathic character traits. Because the board considers him a moderate risk to re-offend, conditions have been placed on Tickell requiring him to provide documentation to his parole officer about income and debt, to get approval from that parole officer before accepting a job and not to be in a position of responsibility for the management of finances or investments for any other individual, business or institution. Under new parole rules, no one is eligible for parole until they have served at least a third of their sentence. Parole is also harder to get, because parole boards must be convinced the convict is unlikely to commit any further crimes — not just violent ones.

A turn for the worse

CREWS work to clean up a diesel spill after dump truck overturned on Westhill Drive, Monday afternoon. The truck tipped over while reversing into a driveway, causing a rupture in its diesel fuel tanks, according to West Vancouver assistant fire chief Martin Ernst. After firefighters stopped the spread of the leaked diesel with sand, the District of West Vancouver’s engineering department took over the cleanup.

N. Van MP unwinds long-line snafu

Bureaucratic hitch nearly costs N. Shore rescuers a key tool

Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

SEARCH and rescue teams across the province who use helicopter external transport systems, better known as long-lines, found themselves hamstrung over the weekend because of a certiﬁcation snafu with the federal government.

The problem arose Friday when North Shore Rescue volunteers noticed that their HETS equipment, which they use regularly to pluck lost and injured hikers from inaccessible areas, had not received its mandatory certiﬁcation from Transport Canada since 2007. Facing the dire possibility of being without some of the team’s most important tools, North Shore Rescue team leader Tim Jones contacted the media, and the story quickly made headlines. He also got in touch with North Vancouver Conservative MP Andrew Saxton, whom he credits with getting the situation resolved.

“If it hadn’t been for him, this thing would be dead in the water,” Jones said. “There was no way we could sit back and let bureaucracy chug along on this. Not in this instance. Lives were on the line.” Saxton contacted the Prime Minister’s Office and the minister of transportation looking for a fast-tracked solution. “I have a tremendous respect for Tim Jones and his team at North Shore Rescue. They do a great job protecting and saving lives. So When Tim Jones calls, I act — especially when lives may be at risk,” said Saxton On Tuesday. “I impressed upon them the urgency of getting this resolved. Those long-lines can make the difference between life and death,” Saxton said. As of Tuesday, Transport Canada had met with North Vancouver-based Emergco, and SAR teams could have their HETS gear inspected and re-certified for immediate use. Saxton could not say what caused the five-year oversight. Jones added there was never any doubt about the safety of the gear. His team makes use of it about once a month, Jones said — most recently on Sept. 22 when a North Vancouver man lost his way in the dark while coming down from the Lions. Without access to HETS, what would take three rescuers less than an hour would take 30 or 40 volunteers a full day on foot, Jones said.

compromised.” But there is good news for tenants on the lower floor, who will be able to get in and start salvage work as early as Wednesday. “Letting them in sooner than later is a good idea, because we don’t like water to sit over three days. Then you start getting other issues like mould,” he said. “Luckily, the lower units with the water damage shouldn’t be too bad to clean up. We’re hoping they can get back in business as soon as possible.” Among the affected businesses: Verandah Antiques, Zhaleh Hair Salon, and H&R Block. Thankfully, there were no injuries, though firefighters had to keep their distance from the building while battling the blaze. “We initially treated it as an offensive fire (and) went into the building, but there was a lot of electrical arcing from the panels, so we pulled our members out and brought B.C. Hydro in,” he said. It took firefighters about an hour to knock the flames down, though smaller fires reignited inside throughout the night. It appears that the fire started in the kitchen, but there are no apparent clues as to its cause, said Ernst. “It’s in shambles in there. There’s so much burned debris; we’ll be sifting through it for days,” he said. The investigations by the fire department and insurance companies into the cause of the fire is likely to start later in the week. The building has been for sale by the City of Vancouver since early in the spring, according to a sign posted on the exterior.

Conviction carries automatic life sentence From page 1 that he’d killed Wagad, saying he had “hit the man in the head with an axe.” Another witness, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, described how Najafi-Chaghabouri said he’d made Wagad kneel on the ground in front of the car before taking the hatchet to his head. Both Alamdari and the witness who can’t be named are drug addicts whose recollection of events was questioned by Lawrence during cross-examination in the trial. Najafi-Chaghabouri faces an automatic sentence of life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years. At a sentencing hearing last week, however, Crown prosecutor David Butcher urged the judge also to sentence Najafi-Chaghabouri to 12 to 18 years on a separate charge of kidnapping Wagad. Outside of court, Butcher said prosecutors want to make sure Najafi-Chaghabouri stays in prison, even if his murder conviction is overturned on appeal. In court, Lawrence told the judge how Najafi-Chaghabouri grew up in a Kurdish area of Iran and later came to Canada as a refugee. Once in the Lower Mainland, however, Najafi-Chaghabouri racked up convictions for six violent criminal offences, including stabbing a man in a North Vancouver Persian restaurant. Najafi-Chaghabouri was ordered deported, but won a reprieve to stay in Canada just one week before he and Leslie kidnapped Wagad and killed him. Prosecutors are also appealing Leslie’s conviction of second-degree murder, arguing it should have been first-degree.

Boulevard Park to be renamed Jen St. Denis jstdenis@nsnews.com

THE City of North Vancouver will rename Boulevard Park in memory of former Senator Ray Perrault.

The city announced last week it had chosen the name for the 3.4 hectare park, which is bounded by East 13th Street, Moody Avenue, East 15th Street and West Grand Boulevard, to honour the long-serving local politician. Perrault served North Vancouver as a Liberal MLA, MP and Senator over a 42-year political career. He retired from the Senate in 2001, and died in 2008 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. “My family and I are absolutely thrilled with this idea, and we are very, very grateful to the community for bestowing this great honour on him,” said Perrault’s wife Barbara, a former teacher and City of Vancouver councillor. Describing her husband as a “baseball nut” who also loved tennis and track and field, Barbara said the dedication was fitting for a man who championed physical activity. As a senator, Perrault served as Member of State for Fitness and Amateur Sport. Boulevard Park, which has tennis courts, playing fields and a playground, was well-used by the Perrault family, who moved to the neighbourhood in the 1950s. “Our children played soccer on that field, they played as little tots in the playground, we walked our dog in the park,” said Barbara. The space will be renamed at a ceremony later this fall.

Cheques & balance I

n the lead up to next year’s provincial election, the B.C. Liberals have made a lot of promises to electors, but one important and inexpensive pledge has been markedly absent: the longoverdue reform of provincial campaign ﬁnance laws. On Monday, the IntegrityBC advocacy group launched a campaign aimed squarely at changing these rules. It’s a campaign British Columbians should take seriously. Compared to the tight controls at the federal practices, campaign ﬁnance in B.C. is a shameless free-for-all. Aside from the requirement to record and publish donations, there are few regulations around who donates what to whom. In effect, wealthy individuals, corporations and trade unions can pour all the resources they want into their preferred candidates in an effort to

affect elections and ultimately policy. The hazards are obvious: A system that allows that affords more power to a billfold than to a ballot is naturally open to corruption — or at the very least to unethical behaviour. Opponents of reform have cast proposed changes as a partisan effort to undermine business-friendly candidates. This is not at all the case. Reformwouldaffectmajorsupporters of the left — in the form of organized labour — as much as it would those of the right — big business. It is a fact that has been recognized over the past decade at the federal level, leading to reforms that were introduced by Liberals and later strengthened by Conservatives. No individual party would beneﬁt; the only winner, in the end, would be voters. It’s hard to see how that would be a bad thing.

Look east, to port’s future Dear Editor: When reading about Richardson International’s plan to expand the grain handling terminal on the North Vancouver waterfront (Residents Upset at Terminal Plans, Oct. 21, North Shore News), I was reminded of the closed grain elevator ghosts that dominate the Thunder Bay, Ont. waterfront. On a recent visit there, I heard that much of Western Canada’s wheat exports used to pass through Thunder Bay onto Great Lakes freighters to markets in Soviet nations. With changes in world production and demand, more Canadian grain is now exported to Paciﬁc Rim nations. The same market forces that are driving expansion of grain handling facilities here are causing

decay in Thunder Bay. In 1983, three times more grain flowed through that community than did in 2010. While we grapple with how to make Richardson International’s expansion work, Thunder Bay grapples with how to restore and beautify its waterfront. What happens to our waterfront when world markets shift again and the industry finds new ways to get grain to new markets? It’s inevitable that the wall of concrete elevators 54 metres high and 172 metres long (two soccer fields) will decay. We need to review Richardson International’s decommissioning plans alongside its expansion plans. Will Schuurman North Vancouver

Resident concerns hit wall of silos

Dear Editor: The recent controversy over the proposed Richardson International redevelopment of its North Shore facility is the ﬁrst of many North Shore projects to come that demonstrate a complete failure of vision on the part of the North Shore Trade Area initiative undertaken on behalf of the Government of Canada, the Province of British Columbia, Port Metro Vancouver, TransLink, the City and District of North Vancouver and the private sector. This project is being pursued with a take-no-prisoners strategy that excludes the residents of North Vancouver from any meaningful input into the consultative process and precludes any search for compromise. The agent of this vision is Port Metro Vancouver. The port’s tactics are not restricted to the North Shore; it has already run afoul of B.C.’s Agricultural Land Reserve and is currently pursuing a project through the South Shore Trade Area with equal opposition

from residents. To quote CTV News: On Oct. 11, “hundreds of Burnaby residents gathered at a town hall meeting to oppose the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline. A proposal to twin the Trans Mountain pipeline would mean up to 750,000 barrels of oil would ﬂow from Alberta to a terminal on Burrard Inlet, directly under homes in Burnaby. If approved, an additional 300 tankers a year would be required to ship the oil out of Port Metro Vancouver.” Will the municipalities, local, provincial and federal governments unite to save Burrard Inlet by forcing Port Metro to seriously consider, through a transparent consultative process, more creative solutions and a more balanced vision to regional development than turning the inlet into an industrial wasteland and toxic hotspot? Charles and Marlene Goodbrand North Vancouver

Eight-storey ediﬁce will ﬂoor neighbours

Dear Editor: The development proposed for the 1300-block of Marine Drive in West Vancouver is more horizontally massive than what was implied at the public meetings (Plans Unveiled for WV’s Gateway, Oct. 19, North Shore News). It looks like the hulk of a beached cruise ship, despite the clever rendering. If the image published in your paper is to be believed, these eight- and seven-storey towers are level with the three-storey structures on the west side of 14th street. This aerial depiction is very deceptive, showing lots of green on the roofs and decks and very little shadow thrown onto Marine Drive to disguise what is truly an imposing concrete structure, covering the entire block. People walking or driving in the area would in reality have a street view which would show this development for the mass of concrete that it is, overshadowing the entire area and dwarﬁng adjacent buildings. I have lived in Ambleside for 30 years. Previous councils could see and appreciate the unique and precious atmosphere of a village by the sea and put in place an OCP to limit more strictly the height of buildings in Ambleside. Yet, this and the last council seem determined to give this up to turn our Ambleside into the West End. This is no “real catalyst to revitalize Ambleside.” No, this is the catalyst to give up a jewel to favour the interest of the developer and 88 wealthy residents of this development. If this is “in line with what the municipality has in mind for the area,” what’s next? Please give this matter more public debate. Patricia McClintick West Vancouver

On China trade, a Fawkes in the henhouse

“Outside of legal spheres, the word ‘traitor’ may also be used about a person who betrays, or is accused of betraying their own political party, nation … religion, social class or other group to which they may belong.” Deﬁnition of treason, en.metapedia.org

EARLY last week, this column began life as a light-hearted Halloween story about Guy Fawkes the traitor who, on Nov. 5, 1605, failed in his efforts to blow up Britain’s Houses of Parliament.

As is often the case with wars and revolutions, what became known as the Gunpowder Plot had its roots in over-heated religious differences. In 1605 it was between Catholic and Protestant rulers, their governments and the people. My own plan was hatched in the hope that humour would offset my usual depressing stories about political misfeasance. It would have been a welcome break — for all of us. Unfortunately, a betrayal underway in Ottawa would have made levity on my part seem like ﬁddling while Canada’s sovereignty burned. Brieﬂy described, the misfeasance or worse is this: On Sept. 8, 2012, while in Vladivostok, Russia, Prime Minister Stephen

Just Asking

Elizabeth James Harper and the President of China, Hu Jintao, witnessed the signing of the Canada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement. If and when the deal is ratiﬁed by Harper’s majority government, Canadians will have been given no opportunity to hear parliamentary debate on the proposal — not even a salutary nod to democratic process. Yet the deal is a culmination of nearly two decades of on-again/off-again negotiations that concluded in Feb. 2012 when Harper was again offshore, that time in China. Could the PM make it any plainer that he has no interest whatsoever in facing the will of Canadians in the matter? At this point, it might be useful for you to know I am not ideologically opposed to ﬁscally right-wing governments. In the late 1980s, I fell for slogans that announced The Reform Party of Canada.

Initially sincere, they evolved into little more than politically motivated flimflam. But like thousands of others, I lived in a West that wanted in on the federal process; I, too, believed in the Common Sense of the Common People. The North Vancouver branch of the new party was founded and I was its first president. After all the tough groundwork by early and idealistic Reformers, it wasn’t long before the opportunistic “real” politicians climbed aboard the bandwagon. Important to this story is that one member of the early group bided his time and played the reform game on a more personal front. Virtually unnoticed by the people of this province, Albertan economist Stephen Harper accompanied leader Preston Manning on many forays into B.C. and in 1993, he became MP for Calgary West. Patiently working his way through Manning’s ReformAlliance Party, the National Citizens Coalition, the merger between the Alliance and Progressive Conservatives and two minority governments, Harper’s mission was accomplished when, in May 2011, he led the Conservatives to form his first majority government. In our 2012 political world, that unassailable majority allows Harper to curtail parliamentary process while he hands off Canadian sovereignty to a com-

munist country. By so doing, he severely compromises the ability of our provincial government to protect the best interests of British Columbians and the economic and environmental resources of the province. And if her Oct. 9 address to the Canada-China investment summit is any indication, our unelected premier is happy to take B.C. along for the ride. So much for The West Wants In. Some readers may want to challenge my belief that Harper is dealing away Canadian sovereignty to China. After all, is he not the man who said: “Exercising sovereignty over Canada’s North, as over the rest of Canada, is our No. 1 Arctic foreign policy priority”? Is he not spending billions of dollars to build ships to patrol Arctic waters in order to establish that sovereignty? To which I can only answer with the words of Gus Van Harten, Associate Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School in his open letter to the prime minister: “This treaty will have major implications for core elements of Canadian legislative and judicial sovereignty,” he wrote in his ﬁnal paragraph. “It will tie the hands of all levels and branches of government in Canada in relation to any Chinese-owned asset in ways that many governments in Canada, I suspect, have not considered closely,” the letter

continued. And then, for anyone who cares deeply about this country and all that she means to its citizens, Van Harten closed with the most gut-wrenching sentence of all: “The implications will be legally irreversible by any Canadian court or other decision-maker for at least 31 years.” So there you have it. By the time you read this, your concerns and mine may all be for naught, if, in Wednesday’s unbalanced session of the

House, federal Conservatives have already ratiﬁed the deal. So what is the moral of this story — other than to be careful what you wish for when electing a workable majority government? It is that, Guy Fawkes and religious disputes aside, there are more ways than 36 barrels of gunpowder by which to blow up a peaceful democracy. My only remaining question is this: Why would anyone want to do that? rimco@shaw.ca

FIPPA a slick move by PM Dear Editor: What a crafty Prime Minister we have. Just when it looks like negative public opinion toward the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline could make future approval of the project unlikely, Stephen Harper comes up with a powerful trump card which he is trying to keep close to his sleeve: His government is poised to approve the secretive Can-

ada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement which would give foreign corporations sweeping powers. Chinese corporations could sue Canadian governments for implementing common-sense environmental protections to stop proposed pipelines such as the Enbridge project. Even worse, these corporate lawsuits would happen in secret tribunals outside Ca-

nadian legal channels. Soon he’ll be telling us that projects have to be go ahead or we are going to be sued for millions or billions of dollars. If you want to stop the Nexen buyout or the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, then the time to speak out is now: Say no to FIPPA loudly and clearly. Steve Cofﬁn North Vancouver

Meeting numbers a ﬁgure of the imagination Dear Editor: In his letter to the North Shore News, Oct. 17 (DNV Welcomes L.

dreds” would be more accurate, as I saw many of the same faces at these meetings. Nevertheless, out of 55,000-plus eligible district voters, this might equate to an eight per cent turnout according to the mayor’s seemingly exaggerated ﬁgure, which was supported by his statement at an all-candi-

dates meeting in November that “3,0004,000” people participated. Compare this to the meek 20 per cent that show up on Election Day. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the OCP. And not democratic at all. John Sharpe North Vancouver

REPUTATION.

Terminal expansion a net grain for North Vancouver Dear Editor: As a resident of North Vancouver I’d like to voice my support for the proposed grain terminal expansion. Benefits will include more local jobs, increased local spending on maintenance projects and increased taxes for North Vancouver. Also, in the midst of the Canadian fossil fuel boom, the growth of a sustainable industry such as Canadian agriculture should be welcomed. There’s been news recently of disgruntled homeowners lobbying the city against the proposal, complaining about a potential loss of property value. I find these complaints hard to swallow. Homeowners in North Vancouver have been extremely fortunate in the last 10 to 15 years. Land values have skyrocketed even as salaries have stagnated. Is a dip in housing values really justification for complaint? Are the potential losses even noticeable given the appreciation of the last 15 years? In fact, a dip in land value could be seen as an additional benefit. If housing costs aren’t restricted in some way, how will young families afford to live here? Cameron Shook North Vancouver

Thief dodges dogs, chopper West Van knifepoint robbery one of several under investigation James Weldon jweldon@nsnews.com

A man who reportedly robbed a West Vancouver convenience store at knifepoint on the weekend managed to evade police despite the involvement of a dog team, a forensics unit and a helicopter.

The suspect walked into the store in the 1400-block of Marine Drive a little after midnight last Saturday and asked the clerk for cigarettes, according to investigators. As the employee reached for them, the man allegedly produced a knife, darted behind the counter and demanded money from the register. The clerk handed over approximately $100, and the man ﬂed. West Vancouver police raced to the scene, bringing a canine unit with them and calling in an RCMP helicopter and forensics team to help ﬁnd the suspect. They were unable to track him down, however. The Caucasian man, who wore a black toque and jacket, remains at large. Meanwhile, North Vancouver RCMP are hoping the public

can help lead them to suspects who robbed a North Vancouver 7-Eleven with a similar M.O. in two incidents back in May. Police released surveillance photos of the masked suspects this week after a long wait to get the photos from 7-Eleven’s security officials, according Cpl. Richard De Jong, a spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP. Two masked men brandishing large knives entered the store in the early morning of May 14, demanded cash and cigarettes from the lone clerk, and fled the scene. The first suspect was about six feet tall, wearing a shiny red mask and dark hooded sweater with a white logo. The second suspect stood five feet six inches and covered part of his face with a red-and yellow-stripped bandana. He was wearing a green hoodie with markings on the chest, knee-length denim shorts and white shoes with green laces. The same store was hit just three days later when a lone man entered, threatened the clerk with a large knife, grabbed cash and cigarettes and ran off. The suspect in the later incident was five foot 10, between the ages of 30 and 40, and covered his face with a white bandana. He wore a dark jacket, black toque, dark sunglasses and black pants. It’s not known if the robberies are related but investigators are looking into that possibility, De Jong said. Anyone with information on the heists is asked to contact North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 or CrimeStoppers 1-800-222-8477.

CapU looks to lighten its electrical load LED overhaul cuts campus bill by thousands

Jen St. Denis jstdenis@nsnews.com

CAPILANO University hopes to slash its electrical bill by switching to LED streetlights.

NEWS photo Mike Wakeﬁeld

CAPILANO University’s Laura Williams shows off one of the 400-Watt bulbs the school removed recently from its North Vancouver campus in favour of low-energy LEDs.

The school announced recently it had replaced all the streetlights and parking lot lights at its North Vancouver campus with the low-energy devices, making it the ﬁrst large organization in B.C. to change over completely, according to Laura Williams, Capilano’s energy manager.

The university is planning to do the same at its Sunshine Coast and Squamish campuses as well, she added. While the new lights cost three to four times more than traditional bulbs, they will pay off in the long term, said Williams. The LEDs will not need to be replaced for the next 15 to 20 years, and will save the university about $15,000 annually in electricity costs. Capilano will receive $38,000 through BC Hydro’s PowerSmart program to offset the cost of the new lights. It took about a year to research the new technology, persuade facilities staff and decision makers at the school to agree to the huge change, and ﬁnally to install the lights. “I’m a bit of a lighting freak, and I wasn’t See School page 11

School plans to expand project further

Winter helps you survive winter come heck or high water. Genuine sheepskin footbeds and Thinsulate® insulation keep your toes toasty during the snowy cold-as-heck part. Waterproof leather, elastic and seams keep your feet dry in the slushy, rainy, puddle part. Is there any way we could possibly make Winter more comfortable? Ahh, no.

From page 10 going to give up,” said Williams, who has devoted the past four years to helping the university become more energy efﬁcient. The new lights have also improved visibility, she said. Instead of the yellowish tint of traditional streetlights, LEDs shine whiter and distribute light more evenly. It’s all about how our eyes see light at night, said Tony Fiorvento, the North Vancouver representative for Capilano’s LED supplier, Hubbell Canada. “A whiter light is going to give you more facial recognition, more recognition of objects compared to a yellow light,” said Fiorvento. “Your eyes can actually see that better.” As the days have shortened, Williams said the LEDs have made parking lots and roadways noticeably brighter. “People, especially women, were not feeling very safe, especially in some of the remoter parking lots,” said Williams. Despite the energy and cost savings, it’s still an uphill battle to convince organizations to adopt LEDs, said Fiorvento. “Many institutions, like municipalities, fear the technology shift, fearing that tomorrow’s LED will be better than today’s,” said Fiorvento. “They will hold back based on proven technology.”

Keep pumpkins out of the trash this Halloween

WHAT would Halloween be without ghosts? This year make your own spooky renditions with some simple tissue paper foldouts and cheesecloth. Most of the supplies for these can be found at your local dollar store and you and the kids can make them in less than 30 minutes.

Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

WHATEVER you do this Halloween, don’t forget to put Jack in the box.

Materials: Small or large fold-out tissue wedding bells Cheesecloth (available at grocery or dollar stores) Black craft paper Glue LED tea lights (optional)

DIG DEEP Now is the time to collect seeds and dried ﬂowers from the garden, writes Todd Major. page 17

You can also use foldout tissue balls, available in the Martha Stewart section at Michaels, for this idea if you cannot find the tissue wedding bells. I found the bells work better for this idea as they have a flat bottom. Fold out the bell and secure it with the included white clip. Cut out the black eyes and mouth from the craft paper and glue to one side of the folded bell. Drape your cheesecloth in a single layer over the tissue ghost and group 2 or 3 together in your front foyer or on your dining table. For added effect, place a submersible LED tea light (available at select florist shops) in a clear votive and place the ghost on top. Dim the lights and watch the ghost glow. If you are using a fold-out ball then the clear votive can act as a stand for the ghost to sit in.

That’s the message from Metro Vancouver, which is asking jack o’ lantern carvers across the Lower Mainland to compost their pumpkins, triangle eyes and all. Metro Vancouver wants to remind residents that pumpkins are accepted in the yard trimmings containers used in each municipality in the region. “Enjoy your Halloween but please don’t put Jack in the trash,” said Metro Vancouver board chairman Greg Moore in a press release. If 25 per cent of households in Metro Vancouver haul out their big kitchen knives to scoop the goop from pumpkins this year, the net result will be organic waste consisting of 200,000 pumpkins. Food scraps and yard trimmings account for approximately 40 per cent of residential garbage, according to Metro Vancouver. As the scraps and trimmings rot, they generate greenhouse gasses. To counter those effects, residents are reminded that pumpkins are edible for humans and legless invertebrates, making great additions to a worm compost heap. Gardeners can also bury their chopped up jack o’ lanterns in a shallow trench in the vegetable or ﬂower garden.

A simple change transforms space Building by Design Kevin Vallely

ON several occasions I’ve had clients lament to me about how their homes feel lifeless and uninspiring, explaining to me how certain signiﬁcant changes — often very expensive ones — would alleviate their problems.

Their instinct is to think of a major intervention as their only recourse when a far simpler solution might be at hand: a change in colour. The judicious use of colour is a simple and effective way to make the spaces we live in more livable. Colour affects our mood and well-being and inﬂuences the way we feel in a space.

A darker colour is visually heavier than a lighter colour and this darker colour makes a surface feel closer to us than a lighter one would. The concept is simple and intuitive and if applied properly can make small rooms seem more spacious and cavernous spaces a little more manageable. Ceilings, by the very nature of being above our heads, are profoundly affected by the concept of visual weight. Exposed wood beams with wood decking as a ceiling treatment are very common here on the West Coast. The rich colour of the stained wood mixed with the texture of the decking gives considerable visual mass to a ceiling and tends to make it feel lower than it would in a lighter material. This was a scenario I was confronted with recently in the renovation of a beautiful mid-century modern home here in North Vancouver. The main living space was very generous in size and the richly stained ceiling and darkly stained beams made it feel lower and smaller than it was. The homeowners wanted to enhance the space somehow and the idea of

a skylight was brought up but the idea was quickly dismissed as being ineffectual (and expensive) since a glazed opening in a dark ceiling would only present itself as a bright spot in a still-dark ceiling. We remedied the situation by sanding and staining the ﬁr beams back to a natural clear ﬁnish and then introducing a single layer of painted white drywall between the beams — covering the decking — to transform the space into the grand space that it was intended to be. Lightening the visual weight of the ceiling was an easy and effective way of creating the loftiness we were looking for. The opposite would be true as well. An alcove or nook painted in a deeper, darker colour than the room it adjoins will maximize its sense of separation. The heavier visual weight will enhance a sense of shelter and protection within the smaller volume while making a feature of the space itself. Painting a single wall within a room a darker colour makes that wall stand out within the space and draws the eye to it. Often

A designer’s rendering shows how white drywall and ﬁr beams that are sanded and stained back to a natural clear ﬁnish will lighten a ceiling’s visual weight. called a feature wall or accent wall, this use of visual weight makes a wall more dominant and important within a room and is a wonderful way of highlighting an important feature of the home. We employed this idea in the mid-century modern renovation by painting a wall /bulkhead system running

through the main space in a dark charcoal to create a striking visual element that zig-zagged through the volume, producing a dynamic feature that would have otherwise gone completely unnoticed. How we feel within a space is inﬂuenced by many different factors.

A considered careful use of colour will inﬂuence the “visual weight” of walls and ceilings and can be a positive transformation for any space. Kevin Vallely is a residential designer in North Vancouver. Follow along Kevin’s “small house” design at cliffhangerhouse.com.

Online programming costs vary by source

Practical Geek Barry Link

FIRST we discussed the pros and cons, then examined the hardware you need.

So now that you’ve decided to cut the cable cord, how much content is available through the Internet to replace Shaw or Telus? It turns out there’s quite a bit, and it’s legal and safe. Here are the major sources of legal, online content available to Canadians.

Netflix Cost: $7.99 a month. Quality: Very good. Available on: PCs, Macs, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, Apple TV, Roku, Boxee Box, newer TVs and DVD players, Mac, Android and Windows tablets and phones. The day I subscribed to Netflix was the day I helped kill my local video store. (Sorry.) A no brainer at $7.99 a month, it features a large library, especially for children and family programming. Yes, it is light on recent Hollywood blockbusters and current American TV series, and yes, the Canadian version of Netflix has less content than the U.S. version. But it costs $7.99 a month, the price of a coffee and muffin in Metro Vancouver, and you can watch as much as you want and anything as many times as you

Treat it like an eccentric DVD collection of found material, whether it’s recent action films, Hollywood classics, foreign films, documentaries or guilty pleasure TV. Much of the content is streamed in high definition. Crackle Cost: Free. The poor man’s Netflix. Quality: Low. But it’s free. Available on: PCs, Macs, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, some TVs, DVD players, phones and tablets. Crackle has a limited amount of movie and TV offerings, very little of it recent and the rest an awkward mix of classics like Gandhi, weirdness like Striptease Samurai Squad and too much Godzilla and anime. Selections stream instantly but are limited to standard definition, which is dismal on a big screen. But it’s free. iTunes: Cost: Typically $2.49 for a single episode of a TV series,

$4.99 for a movie rental in standard deﬁnition. Quality: Excellent. Available on: PCs, Macs, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV. If you don’t want cable, but want to keep on top of current select TV programming, iTunes is the best single alternative source in Canada. Availability is limited to Apple devices and both Mac and Windows computers, but the breadth of content is compelling, including a healthy amount of Canadian material. Movie offerings are on par with the well-stocked DVD stores of the recent past. TV shows can be purchased by the season for a bit of savings and in either standard or high deﬁnition. Xbox video store Cost: on par or more expensive than iTunes. Quality: Good. Available on: Xbox 360, Windows PCs, tablets and phones. A slimmer version of iTunes.

Collect seed and dried ﬂowers from fall garden 25% off ALL ORDERS

Dig Deep

Todd Major THERE’S nothing like a cold blast of wind and some heavy rain to clarify priorities in the garden. Among the fall gardening chores of cleaning and mulching, try to make time to collect some seeds and dried flowers. The rainy summer and long sunny slide into fall has produced an abundance of flowers and seeds this fall and every garden should have some sort of seed to collect or flower to hang and dry. Drying flowers and berries from the garden is a time-honoured ritual of fall. Plants have been collected and dried for centuries and used in herbal concoctions, as food or displayed as ornamentation. Going out on a cold day, wandering throughout the garden’s bounty is truly inspiring for the mind and healthy for the body. I have talked to many “driers” who collect flower and seed from the garden and most say the same thing about how to collect and dry flower, fruit or stem. Collect lots, cut long and hang in a cool, dry and dark place to allow the plant to cure properly and dry out. High temperatures and bright light will cause

COLLECTING, drying and storing seeds and flowers in fall is a gardening tradition. the collected specimens to wilt prematurely and look disfigured. Collecting flowers or berries is best done in the morning but with busy schedules, the best time to collect is when you have time, but preferably on a dry day. Cut the stem long to allow yourself the opportunity to cut shorter later. Always choose the best flowers, stems or fruits for drying to obtain the best possible presentation. Hang your collections in bunches and wrap the end of the stems tightly with a rubber band to keep them together while they hang and dry. The rubber band shrinks with the

drying stems and prevents the collection from falling to the floor. Berries will dry but they may shrivel somewhat. Rose hips dry reasonably well, ash tree berries (Sorbus species) not so much. I have not tried pyracantha berries but they may dry as well. The best dried flowers are harvested from annuals like statice or salvia, or harvested from perennials and shrubs that have ornate flowers or seed heads. When you prune off the drying material on perennial plants it doesn’t matter where you cut because perennials go dormant and lose all of their current year’s See Seed page 19

the world in this fabulous collection. His minimalist approach brings out incredible detail in every one and allows us to see much more than a pretty plant. The structure and layering of these blooms are mesmerizing, drawing you in to prolonged examination of the minute detail that has been captured.

Seed storage is simple From page 17 growth, so no lasting damage occurs. On shrubs, however, try to make shorter cuts when harvesting to avoid unnecessarily damaging the branching structure of the shrub, since it takes a long time for a shrub to grow well developed branching. If your collections are moist or wet, give them a shake and allow them to dry off a little before you hang them to dry which will avoid mold or rot. I regularly collect several dried flowers and stems from my garden in the fall to make dried arrangements to cheer up the house in during winter. If you’re a seeder, then fall is seed collection time. Collecting seeds from the garden allows you to grow more of your favourite plants inexpensively, especially annuals, biennials and short lived perennials that do not regrow every year. Seed collection also provides you with barter material to trade with other gardeners to obtain something you may not have growing in the garden. Seed collection and storage is quite simple. For dry seeds like poppies, foxgloves, hollyhocks and many other plants simply cut the seed heads off, take the seeds in the house and clean and separate the seed from the seed head. After the seed is cleaned, leave it on some paper to dry off. Never store wet seed or it will turn moldy and rot. For seeds that are surrounded by flesh or fruit like magnolia, the flesh needs to be cleaned, washed off and allowed to dry before storing it. Once the seed has dried off, put the seed into an envelope, label and date the envelope and store the seed in the fridge. Storing seed in the fridge preserves freshness for many years and fridge storage prevents desiccation, which will occur in a dry cupboard or even in the garage. Refrigeration also allows the seed to accumulate “cold units” that are needed for germination. Cold units are the equivalent of time spent outside during winter frost and freeze which the seed needs to trigger germination. Almost any seed from tree, shrub, perennial or annual can be harvested, cleaned, dried and stored for future use. I once ate a delicious Mandarin orange that I liked so much I collected some of the seeds as I ate the orange and sowed them in my kitchen windowsill. One of the sprouted seedlings has now grown to be a two-foot tall orange tree that I am hoping will produce oranges in a few years.

When: Where:

7:00 pm, Tuesday, November 6, 2012 Council Chamber of District Hall, 355 West Queens Road

Site Map

What is it?

The proposed bylaws amend the existing high density, mixed use zoning for “Seylynn Village”, the property north of Fern Street and east of Mountain Highway.

What changes?

The “Seylynn Village” property was rezoned in 2009. Changes in the proposed development format and road network necessitate updates to the zoning bylaw and legal framework for the project to recognize the change in site layout, land use mix, and building forms. Associated with the rezoning proposal are bylaws related to a housing agreement, phased development agreement and waiver of the Development Cost Charge Bylaw for the proposed affordable rental building.

Jasper Rabbit certainly didn’t when he snitched the fat, crisp carrots from Crackenhopper Field as often as possible. Creepy Carrots, which describes these dastardly deeds, is a funny picture book that will please young readers at Halloween and at every other season of the year. Jasper is unrepentant until he notices that somebody (or something) is following him. He hears the “soft ... sinister ... tunktunktunk of carrots creeping” and the reader sees extremely enraged carrots closing in on an unsuspecting Jasper. Jasper becomes paranoid as the carrots intrude on his home life and eventually he hears them while brushing his teeth, at bedtime and, well, basically everywhere. His helpful parents try to show him that he is safe and

that the carrots are not going to catch him but Jasper is not happy until he hits upon a plan to solve the problem once and for all. He does not know that the carrots have a hidden agenda and that they, rather than Jasper, will win this war! Dark grey pages in an oversize format highlight the angry orange carrots as they singlemindedly attempt to mess with Jasper’s mind. The carrots have lots of personality thanks to the clever art of Peter Brown. Even the endpaper illustrations bear out the plot with angry carrots at the front of the books and happy and satisﬁed carrots at the end. Jasper is a resourceful if fearful rabbit and his idea of how to solve his problem saves the day for both him and the carrots leading to a most satisfying conclusion. The wonderfully goofy humour and supposedly scary art contribute to a great holiday read for the picture book crowd. Some other recent picture book or board book titles that are great for Halloween are as follows: ■ The Boo Book by Nathaniel Lachenmeyer, ■ Boo Bunny by Kathryn O. Galbraith (board book), ■ Boo to You by Lois Ehlert

(board book), ■ Even Aliens need snacks by Matthew McElligott, ■ Frankenstein: a monstrous parody by Ludworst Bemonster, ■ Just say Boo by Susan Hood, ■ The Monsters’ Monster by Patrick McDonnell, ■ My First Ghost by Maggie Miller, ■ Ready for Pumpkins by Kate Duke, and ■ Trick or Treat by Leo Landry.

TRANS MOUNTAIN EXPANSION PROJECT

At Fraser Academy, we don’t let language-related learning disabilities* such as dyslexia stop our students. As the Lower Mainland’s only fully accredited day school dedicated to students in Grades 1-12 with language-related learning disabilities, we recognize our students learn differently—and we offer them an education in a setting where they can thrive. Fraser Academy achieves this by building trust, through understanding and support, with every student, and by offering a comprehensive education that features small class sizes, interactive classrooms, multi-dimensional programming, assistive technologies, daily one-to-one lessons with language instructors and specialist teachers in all subjects. The result?

PARENTING

Have kids help out at home THE other day I was shopping at our local grocery store and noticed a mom with her two children who appeared to be about two and three years of age. I was struck by the fact that Mom looked calm and comfortable despite shopping with two young children. Each child was towing a wheeled cart and when Mom took an item off the shelf she would put it in one or the other of the carts. The kids followed Mom through the store, helping her shop and it was an efficient and effective shopping trip. Watching this family reminded me that kids love to work with adults. Nothing thrills them more than being engaged with their parents in the day-to-day business of running a household. We all know that toddlers and preschoolers just love to help. The challenge is finding a way to engage them that is safe (cutting vegetables is not a good idea) and actually helpful or at least appears helpful to the child. Let’s take a look at the helpful aspect. There is no question that having a youngster help is not usually the most effective or efficient way to accomplish a job. On

the other hand, while you are working alone, your child may be using all the techniques at his disposal to interrupt, so you may as well have him working with you. When my son Foley was two and a half years old we were busy renovating our home. I had taken our daughter out and my husband John was at home with Foley. He wanted to nail drywall to the studs in a newly created room. So, he got a container of nails. Then he asked Foley to bring him a nail that he proceeded to hammer into the stud. Foley’s job was done unless he wanted to do it again. He did, and he continued to bring nails one by one to his dad for two hours until all the drywall was up and ready for the next stage. Was this the quickest way

for John to nail up the drywall? Of course not. But it was a great afternoon for son and dad. Foley knew he was being helpful, the work was getting done and a friendly feeling permeated the room. On a more practical note there are many reasons to involve a kid in your activities. When they work with you they are learning how to work, how to follow through and how to experience the satisfaction of a job well done. One beautiful summer day I watched my neighbour walking up the lane with her two preschoolers. She was carrying shopping bags and each of the children had their hands curled around a potato. The kids saw me and explained that there wasn’t enough room in the bag for these potatoes so they each had to carry one. Later that evening I heard their Dad out on the porch with the kids. He was telling them how much he had enjoyed the potatoes they had for dinner and he knew that it was because they had helped their Mom bring them home so that they could enjoy them for dinner. Many of us are busy trying to ﬁnd ways to spend time with our kids but overlook the time we could spend working with them. While folding

laundry, weeding the garden or preparing dinner together, you can also be chatting about school, about favourite books or about friends. You can also let the kids know that they are needed, that without their help the job just wouldn’t have gone as well. When you involve your kids as keen toddlers and preschoolers, you are setting a family practice that can continue when the kids are older. And when they are older their ability to be helpful increases. A toddler who rips lettuce for a salad, a preschooler who sets the table, and an elementary school-aged child who kneads bread, become ‘tweens and teens who can cook dinner.

ON Monday, while sheets of cold, grey rain fell outside, members of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation greeted guests to their community centre with a warm welcome.

’TIS the season for cauliﬂower, one of the garden’s nutritional superheroes.

It was a good day. The nation was celebrating the graduation of the first class to take part in a unique pilot project: Professional Cook Level 1 training, with an emphasis on Aboriginal foods and techniques. Chef and lead instructor Andrew George said when he was in cooking school in the ’80s there was only one other Aboriginal student in his class. In the years that followed — which included stints at the Château Whistler and the Four Seasons Hotel, participation in the Culinary Olympics in Frankfurt and the head chef role at the Four Host First Nations Pavilion during the Winter Olympics — he wondered, how do we get our people into this system?

Soapberries with suds add unique foam to dessert From page 25 and a heap of seasonal vegetables. It also made it into a fusion dish: spicy lettuce wraps. Venison was sliced thin and layered onto dense bannock with Saskatoon berry chutney, and rabbit was served two ways: seared, and oven roasted in a roulade. There was an airy salmon paté on toasted slices of baguette, and crisp curry fritters. Perhaps the most talk around the table was about the soapberries used for dessert, which contain natural, low-sudsing detergent that foams when whisked. They were mixed with sugar for a wild, still slightly bitter mousse. It’s food that’s very healthy, said Thomas. “It’s natural, has no preservatives and no additives.” It ﬁts in with the program’s aim

of developing leaders in the Aboriginal community against obesity and diabetes.

In fact, he has not been associated with the restaurant for some time. Deana Lancaster has been writing about food and wine for 12 years, and worked in restaurants for more than a decade before that.

Gruyère works well with gratin From page 25

Heat oil and butter in a large non-stick skillet (one that has a cover) over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and ginger; sauté until the potatoes are lightly browned, about three to five minutes. Add the cauliflower, salt, pepper, curry powder and paprika; sauté for five minutes, stirring frequently. Add the broth or water; cover pan and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about five minutes. Add the peas and simmer until peas are hot. Season to taste with more salt and pepper. Makes four servings.

Cauliflower Gratin 1 large cauliflower, cut into large florets 4 Tbsp butter, divided use 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour 2 cups hot milk ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper ¾ cup grated Gruyère cheese, divided use (you could also use fontina) ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese 1⁄3 cup soft, fresh white breadcrumbs Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the

cauliflower and boil gently until just starting to soften, about five minutes. In the meantime melt two tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan over medium heat; whisk in the flour. Cook for two to three minutes, whisking often to remove any lumps. Add the warm milk gradually, whisking constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook, stirring often, until the mixture thickens, about two to three minutes. Remove from heat and gradually stir in half cup of the Gruyère and all of the Parmesan, as well as the pepper. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Taste and add salt if desired. Pour one-third of the sauce into a shallow 8x11-inch baking dish; place the cauliflower in the dish in a single layer. Pour the remaining sauce evenly over top; mix together the bread crumbs and remaining Gruyère in a small bowl, then sprinkle over cauliflower. Melt the remaining two tablespoons butter and drizzle over the breadcrumbs. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until top is browned (I suggest broiling for a minute or so at the end of the cooking time to crisp up the breadcrumbs). Makes four to six servings.

Cap U students receive transfer scholarships TWO North Vancouver residents were among 89 B.C. students recently awarded Ike Barber Transfer Scholarships.

According to a press release, the awards, worth $5,000, were issued by the Irving K. Barber British Columbia Scholarship Society. North Vancouver residents and Capilano University students Emilie Johnson and Michael Steele were among those honoured with an award. The scholarships are awarded annually to undergraduate students who have completed two years at a public post-secondary institution in B.C. and are transferring to another degreegranting institution in the province to complete their degrees. They are funded from the returns on a $15-million endowment established by the province in 2006. The fund is named after philanthropist Irving K. Barber who died earlier this year at the age of 89 after many years of supporting public education and research projects in British Columbia.

ND EEK A GR NG W I PEN

To qualify for the transfer scholarships, students must have strong grades and have demonstrated volunteer service to their school and/or community. Johnson and Steele will be attending the University of British Columbia. The Irving K. Barber B.C. Scholarship Society works with the Victoria Foundation to manage a series of scholarship and education award programs that support B.C. students attending public post-secondary institutions. The society recently announced expanded scholarship and award programs for aboriginal students and students hoping to complete part of their education overseas. Since 2006, the society has awarded more than $4.5 million in scholarships to several thousand students throughout the province.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY

Sacré sticks with the Lakers

Rookie deﬁes odds to make opening day in L.A. Andy Prest aprest@nsnews.com

WHEN Robert Sacré arrived at North Vancouver’s Handsworth secondary as a massive Grade 8 student, the senior boys basketball coach deﬁnitely took notice.

PLAYOFF BATTLE The Windsor Dukes travel to Handsworth this Friday for a massive senior football matchup against the Royals. The Dukes, Royals and Carson Graham Eagles are all battling for the ﬁnal two playoff spots in the AA Western Conference. If Windsor wins they’ll move on in third with Carson fourth. If Handsworth wins all three teams will be tied and it’ll be calculator time to decide who moves on. Kickoff at 2 p.m.

Coach Randy Storey, however, didn’t believe he was looking at a future NBA player. What he saw was a raw player who was big and athletic but definitely not polished on the offensive end. “I didn’t think he would end up in a Division 1 school, in a major university, when he was here in Grade 8,” Storey says with a chuckle. “I always thought his offensive game was the thing that was just a little bit behind. His shooting at medium range, his ability to get off the floor quickly when he had a split second and confidently kind of make those jump hooks and shots.” Sacré, however, was still a physical specimen and made Handsworth’s varsity team as a Grade 9 player. Following that year Storey took him to a camp at the University of Washington where Huskies head coach Lorenzo Romar made an assessment of the young centre that took Storey by surprise. “Lorenzo Romar was comparing him to other people that he had coached and seen who were outstanding college players, guys that had gone pro,” says Storey. “And I’m looking at this and going, ‘Are you kidding me?’ Not that I didn’t think he could do it, but I don’t even think I knew exactly what we had at that point.” If Storey still wasn’t convinced that his player was bound for big things, Sacré made the case himself later in that same camp when he was doing drills against current University of Washington players. “They were doing a drill on the floor and I was sitting up with the assistant coach. He had this drill where he got matched up against Brandon Roy,” says Storey. “(Rob) shot faked, one bounce to the right and shot a jump shot and made it against a guy who is a good NBA player now. I can remember thinking at that moment, well maybe these guys are right. Maybe this guy is one of the best prospects they’ve seen in Canada and maybe he’s heading towards an excellent college career. Obviously that would make him a great candidate for pro.” Those predictions have come true. Rob Sacré did have an excellent college career with Gonzaga Bulldogs and on Monday he solidified a spot on a pretty good professional team — the Los Angeles Lakers. Picked dead last, 60th overall, in the 2012 NBA draft, Sacré showed enough during preseason play that the Lakers kept him on their official 15-man roster to open the season. The team played its first regular season game last night after North Shore News press deadline. Sacré, it appears, is in basketball paradise. “I was so fortunate to come to a great team,” Sacré told the Vancouver Sun after learning he would make it to opening day. “Some people get drafted last and they don’t go to the most famous team in the NBA. I was fortunate enough to come to the best team, the most prestigious team, and I am honoured. . . . It really couldn’t turn out any better for me. I feel so fortunate. I have Steve (Nash) here, I’m playing with some of the greatest See Former page 34

Former coach sees great growth on path to pros

From page 32

players and the coaching staff has been so good with me. It’s just been a perfect situation for me.” That he’s come this far is a testament to the work that he has put in, particularly during the past couple of years. Sacré used to be able to dominate people with sheer size and athleticism but now he’s added a lot more elements to his game, says Storey. “I’m really proud of that. I always said that the best player I coached was not Rob, it was (Handsworth teammate and former national team player) Tyler Kepkay, because he works at his basketball three hours a day and he’s just 5-10, instead of Rob who is seven feet. Rob’s had numerous opportunities because of his size. But I really feel like in the last two or so years Rob has taken nothing for granted anymore. He’s spent his time out of season working harder on his game. . . . I think that he’s taken what he’s been given and I think he’s matched that with a work ethic and a drive that has perhaps had him on an upward slope here.” While Sacré’s game has steadily improved, there are other personal attributes that have always been there that make him stand out as a great teammate, says Storey. Sacré, who helped Handsworth win a provincial title as a Grade 11 student, was always known for having a personality that even outmatched his massive body. “His team dynamic was almost off the charts with his positive vibe that he had going on through the team,” says Storey. “It’s unusual for a 16- or 17-year-old to be as concerned about everyone else on the team as he is about himself. He was always pushing me to treat the 14th guy on the team with as much respect as he thought he #4 DARIAN DURANT

should be treated.” That intangible quality seems to have translated right up to the famous Los Angeles Lakers. “The most important thing you have to do when you get into a team situation is you have to earn your teammates’ respect,” says Storey. “I think (the Lakers) are looking at him and saying, ‘Yeah, I respect this guy.’ That’s great for Rob. Some people have a knack for earning people’s respect, some people have a knack for not being able to do it.” Sacré has, in fact, earned praise from such luminaries as Kobe Bryant and fellow B.C. boy Steve Nash. In announcing the final roster on the team’s website, general manager Mitch Kupchak also singled out Sacré for his solid play as a preseason rookie. “Sacre has been a pleasant surprise,” said Kupchak. “He’s made huge progress since the summer league,” added player development coach Phil Handy in Sacré’s season preview bio. “He surprised me in the preseason with his toughness. He’s had to practise against Dwight Howard every day, and he hasn’t backed down. He got a look at some premier bigs in the league like LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMarcus Cousins and held up well.” Sacré is not expected to play big minutes during the regular season and his contract will not be guaranteed until January but he has a chance to earn playing time backing up Howard in the middle, particularly when the Lakers are looking to use a big lineup. Whatever happens, Storey knows that his former player will survive. Although Sacré’s outsized personality — highlighted by his many tattoos, including a recent Snoop Dogg addition — make him seem like a perfect fit for the flashy Lakers, he’s actually more homebody than

Sacré has a young son and girlfriend living in Spokane and his mom Leslie is still a fixture in North Vancouver. “People might look at being in Los Angeles, being on the Lakers and getting that image of Los Angeles,” says Storey. “But the impression I get is that he misses his boy, he wants his mom

RASMUSSEN - Eggert (Ed) It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved 'Opa', Ed Rasmussen. Ed was a long term and well respected Realtor on the North Shore beginning his career at Waddell and Associates in 1967. In 1972 he left Waddell as top salesman and formed Delco Realty. Our Father was a visionary, very trustworthy and family-oriented and soon expanded to build many residential homes, 5 multifamily developments as well as 1 commercial venture on Esplanade. He also was responsible for several land assembly sites for future developments, always in touch with planners and participating in District and City of NV council meetings. In 1988, Delco joined forces with Sutton West Coast where Ed befriended and helped so many people along the way until his retirement in 1998. Ed also founded 3 successful pool halls, one of which was the popular Jazzy Q’s on Esplanade in NV. He was a talented musician who could play any song by ear. He was the life of the party with his organ, accordion, harmonica and whistling talents. In Ed’s later years he lived the good life with with his loving wife Sandra at his side. In the summer they resided at Hotel Lake in a picturesque log cabin he built surrounded by family and fun. They went on numerous boating trips exploring the Desolation Sound, Gulf Islands all the way up to Bella Bella. When the rainy days came they would embark on epic RV trips all across Canada, the USA and all the way down to the Baja Peninsula in Mexico where family would fly in to meet them. Their second home became 'The Sands RV Resort' in Palm Springs where they were part of a loving circle of friends who reconvened each winter for golf and good times. Ed really knew how to live and made every day count. His family was always the most important thing in his life and he was the most generous and loving Dad and husband anyone could ask for. He was our undisputed hero and the foundation of our family. We will miss him every day but thank him for the wonderful legacy and memories he has left us all. Ed leaves behind his wife Sandra, our Mom Shirley, brother Holger (Ingrid), daughter Susan (Bruce), sons Mark (Chera) and Eric (Angie), Kent and grandchildren Ciara, Daniel, Nathan, Kaia, Max and Emma. Please join us for a celebration of Ed’s wonderful life at his building on 2nd St. and L o n s d al e ( b a s e me n t ) 1 5 0 Lonsdale Ave., North Van on Friday November 2nd at 6:00 pm.

SUTHERLAND, Isobel T. Oct 19, 2012 It is with great sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved family member Isobel Sutherland after a brave battle with cancer. Originally from Scotland, Isobel came to Canada over 40 years ago and has called West Vancouver home since 1989. After retiring from many years in the financial services industry, Isobel continued to enjoy her life here on the North Shore and stayed involved in various community activities. She leaves behind many friends at both Kiwanis Court and the West Vancouver United Church as well as dear family members who will miss her very much. We would like to send special thanks to the staff and caregivers at both Lions Gate Hospital and the North Shore Hospice for all their efforts and kindness. There will be a Tea and Conversation event to celebrate Isobel’s life on Tuesday Oct. 30, between 2-4pm, at the Kiwanis Court residences located at 2145 Gordon Ave, West Vancouver, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations to the North Shore Hospice would be welcomed.

Not your Mother’s Grandma As your mom and dad become grandparents they bear no resemblance to their own grandparents. America statistics show that by 2020, one in three adults will have grandchildren. Today grandparents: • live longer • may still be in the workforce • have an increased chance of having primary responsibility for raising a grandchild • may be active in providing childcare • due to family breakup, although desiring it, may have limited or no contact with their grandchildren. • In blended families may be sharing grandparenting with more than the traditional four in that role • could be living or travelling a great distance away • are computer savvy • celebrate their new status by coming up with creative names for their grandparently positions • are important role models for their children as well as their grands.
