Young bear raids NV chicken coop Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A young black bear caught some attention in a North Vancouver city neighbourhood on Saturday after deciding a backyard chicken coop made a nice pic-anic basket and helped himself to a meal of two hens.

Police and conservation officers were called out to a residential neighbourhood in the 300- and 400-block of East Second Street Saturday morning after the young bear — estimated to be about 18 months old — was spotted wandering the area, getting into garbage.

But he soon discovered something even better — a chicken coop — where he broke in and killed two of the hens.

“He found the Kentucky Fried Chicken,” said Corp.

Richard De Jong, spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP. Police officers then chased See Coop page 3

Cyclist killed by bus on causeway Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

THE Vancouver Police Department is investigating after a 61-year-old woman from North Vancouver was killed by a West Vancouver transit bus on the Stanley Park causeway Saturday evening.

The accident happened shortly before 7 p.m. after the woman — who was riding on the sidewalk heading into downtown — lost her balance and fell into traffic, where she was struck by the bus.

The woman had been cycling to work. Police have not

Although it is early in the investigation, “It looks as though the cyclist collided or grazed a pedestrian,” said Const. Brian Montague, spokesman for the Vancouver Police Department.

“We believe that caused her to lose her balance. The bus was unable to stop in time.”

Montague said the cyclist went under the bus and was killed instantly.

The accident shut down traffic on the Lions Gate Bridge for

Investigators will examine footage from video cameras mounted on the bus and other evidence, including witness statements from pedestrians on the causeway and bus passengers.

Montague said police are still hoping to talk with anyone from the bus who saw what happened.

Jeff McDonald, spokesman for the District of West Vancouver, which operates the Blue Bus system, said the bus driver is “very shaken by what happened” and remains off on leave since the accident.

“This is just so sad that it happened,” he said.

Crash hospitalizes longboarder

Coop not built strong enough From page 1

Jeremy Shepherd

jshepherd@nsnews.com

A 17-year-old West Vancouver longboarder is in intensive care after sustaining critical head injuries in a collision with a passenger van driven by a friend Friday evening.

Three 17-year-old Rockridge secondary students were boarding near the 6900-block of Isleview Road, a curving dead end hill just north of Whytecliff Park at about 6 p.m. when the collision occurred.

The two other boarders stayed at the scene while emergency crews arrived and rushed the injured teen to hospital. Both Rockridge secondary students are co-operating fully while police investigate the cause of the crash.

Longboarding is prohibited in the District of West Vancouver and boarders are subject to $45 fines. West Vancouver police have received 67 complaints about longboarding so far this year.

“The bylaw prohibition exists because there are clearly known risks associated with being on a longboard on a public roadway.

Those risks exist whether you know who’s operating the other vehicle or not,” said West Vancouver Police Department Const.

Jeff Palmer.

“There are already known and well-defined risks any time you’re in a roadway . . . if you’re the smallest and least protected moving vehicle on that roadway, the risks rise dramatically.

“Our focus right now is, as with the family, is on the wellbeing of this young guy,” Palmer said.

Counsellors have been sent to Rockridge to help the boarder’s fellow students deal with the trauma raised by the incident.

Police have ruled out alcohol as a factor in the crash, but could not say whether or not the injured boarder was wearing a helmet.

“Longboarding protective equipment is essentially, as I understand it, designed to protect you from a fall,” Palmer said. “Its limitations would, I suspect, be reached in a collision with a vehicle.”

The crash could have been avoided by longboarding in a controlled environment, according to Les Robertson, marketing manager for Rayne Longboards.

“There was a sanctioned event over the weekend in Britannia Beach where they could have ridden for two days,” he said, adding that medics were on hand and boarders were not required to race at the event.

As a proponent of community outreach and education to help make the burgeoning sport safer, Robertson said the collision underlines the difficulty in bringing North Shore longboarders into a cohesive community.

“We’re doing outreach as best we can as a brand and going to events and engaging longboarders but the problem still persists . . . a longboarder that we can reach and talk to, is generally not the issue. It’s the fringe areas,” he said.

“It’s especially the ones that are younger or just getting into longboarding that we haven’t been able to reach with our community and to help teach.”

The sport has been under close scrutiny since 2010, when longboarder Glenna Evans died after colliding with a van on Mount Seymour Road.

The District of North Vancouver dealt with a rising tide of opposition to the sport by raising fines and banning longboarders from Skyline Drive, known as one of the district’s boarding hot spots.

Cycling group says it will petition for safety barriers From page 1 The fatal accident marked a sombre start to Bike To Work Week in the Lower Mainland.

HUB, the organizers of Bike to Work Week, has said it will petition the province to install safety barriers between the causeway sidewalks and the road.

It’s the second time in six months that a West Vancouver transit bus has been involved in a fatal accident.

Two Richmond men in their 20s were killed just before midnight Nov. 28 when their northbound Mazda 6 spun out of control on the Lions Gate Bridge and slammed into a West Vancouver bus heading southbound. Speed was identified as a possible factor in that crash.

the bear up a tree.

Conservation officer Jack Trudgian said the bear was too far up in the tree to tranquilize, so he opted to leave the animal there until it came down on its own, later in the day.

Trudgian said the backyard chicken coop wasn’t strong enough. A proper chicken coop should be made with strong, thick wire, and metal poles buried in the ground, he said.

That’s especially important in an area like North Vancouver where bear sightings are common, he said. “They can smell any kind of food up to five kilometers away.

“We would prefer that people not have chickens.”

Trudgian said the homeowner in this case was handed a warning. Conservation officers can also fine homeowners whose attractants result in problem wildlife coming into residential neighbourhoods.

The newsworthy nosh by the bearcomesjustninemonthsafter the City of North Vancouver voted to allow homeowners in single-family residential areas to keep backyard chickens.

Homeowners are allowed to keep up to eight chickens, but no roosters, and are supposed to make sure all chickens are kept in coops that are secure from predators. Homeowners don’t have to go through any registration process before setting up their chicken coops.

Connie Rabold, spokeswoman for the city, said the municipality doesn’t know how many chicken coops have been set up since they became legal.

The best guess is 20 to 30, she said. At the time the city voted to allow backyard chickens last September, Coun. Don Bell voiced concerns about them attracting potential predators.

DNV seeks input on L. Valley density 4 open houses will help shape plans for town centre design

Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

DISTRICT of North Vancouver residents who want to have a say in the future of the Lynn Valley core are invited to a series of workshops and open houses over the next three weeks.

The town centre is one of four spots in the district earmarked for concentrated growth over the next 20 years.

The Lynn Valley hub has been viewed as a means of addressing what Mayor Richard Walton called a “demographic exodus” among district residents between the ages of 20 and 40. By including affordable townhouses and mid-rise as well as highrise apartments, the district could attract young adults and young families back to the district.

While plans are subject to change, early designs for the town centre include a high-density pedestrian-oriented realm with a mix of retail, shops and housing. A major section of the mall would be retained in the 20-year plan.

The prospect of tall buildings casting long shadows in the mostly single-family neighbourhood has rankled some residents who envision their suburban streets turning into urban avenues.

A January council meeting brought out several worried residents, some of whom found the planned development reminiscent of the Olympic Village. Other residents suggested the development as planned would fail to bring good-paying jobs to the district.

Coun. Alan Nixon assured the Lynn Valley community he

would support their wishes while underlining the ramifications of doing nothing. “If we don’t engage in some change and some densification, we’re not going to have the money to be able to provide some of those community amenities,” Nixon said at the January meeting.

The community engagement should delve deeply into the value proposition for residents, according to a report penned by district policy planner Karen Rendek. The height and density of prospective development will be linked to the open space, daycare centres and other community benefits supplied by the developer, according to Rendek.

The district has scheduled open houses at Lynn Valley recreation centre on June 1, Lynn Valley Library on June 5, as well as two sessions at Argyle secondary on June 8 and 12.

The community consultation phase is expected to continue through the fall.

The district received two preliminary highrise applications for Lynn Valley in 2012. Neither application is currently being considered by the district, according to district communications officer Jeanine Bratina.

The applicants, Bosa Development Corp. and Safeway, are each set to participate in the public input process before deciding on their next move.

The Bosa project consisted of 14- and 22-storey residential towers along with two six-storey buildings, bringing 439 apartments to Lynn Valley.

Former West Vancouver Mayor Mark Sager has been retained

by Bosa to explore development options, according to Bratina.

The Safeway project, penciled in at East 27th Street facing Whiteley Court, was for a 165-unit, 22-storey highrise perched over a 59,000 square foot store.

Former WV cricketers face child sex charges

Players left WV Cricket Club last summer Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

TWO Surrey cricket players — including one considered a rising star in the cricket world — have been charged with child sexual offences in connection with a young teenage girl in West Vancouver.

Bhar Tekbinderpal, 19, has been charged with sexual touching of a person under 16 between June 21 and Aug. 11, 2012 in West Vancouver, while his brother Manrick Singh, 26, faces a charge of Internet luring of a child under 16 during the same time frame. Singh also faces a charge of possession of child pornography, allegedly in connection with photos of the girl.

All of the charges relate to the same teen.

Authorities allege the two players knew the girl was a young teen when the alleged offences

took place.

Evidence in the case is expected to include text and Facebook messages and emails.

None of the charges have been proven in court and the two men have not entered pleas in the case.

Both men played for the West Vancouver Cricket Club for several years, but left the club at the end of the season last summer.

Singh, who is considered one of the better cricket players in the country, has also previously played for the Malaysian national cricket team.

Singh is currently playing for the PakCan cricket team while Tekbinderpal plays for a Richmond cricket team — both part of the B.C. Mainland Cricket League.

Alex Turko, president of the West Vancouver Cricket Club, said he was not aware of the charges until contacted by the North Shore News. “I’m shocked,” he said. “We’re a community-based club.”

Turko said the brothers, who played for the West Vancouver cricket club for several years, had not told him why they left the club.

Defence lawyer Michael Shapray could not be reached for comment before press time.

RCMP officer faces impaired charges AN RCMP officer is facing drunk driving charges after an investigation

by West Vancouver police.

Crown council laid charges of dangerous driving, impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol level higher than .08 against Sgt. Victor Cunha, 47, on Tuesday stemming from a crash on Nov. 30 last year.

Police allege Cunha was off duty and travelling in his own vehicle when he lost control on

Highway 1 and crashed into the median. West Vancouver police began their investigation while B.C. Ambulance Service paramedics and West Vancouver Fire and Rescue members saw to Cunha’s injuries. Investigators placed him under arrest for impaired driving at the scene.

Cunha is scheduled to make his first appearance in North Vancouver provincial court on June 26.

A 2012 RCMP press release refers to Cunha as the head of RCMP’s Lower Mainland explosives disposal unit.

Setting it straight In our May 22 story 3 Charged for Illegal Tree Cutting, the North Shore News reported that Hooman Bozorgnia, Roger Mulloy, and Jeff Hoff faced a maximum $5,000-fine and six months in jail if convicted of illegally cutting down trees on park land.

This was based on incorrect information from the RCMP. Crown counsel is in fact treating the allegations as a more serious indictable offence, meaning the maximum sentence is 10 years’ incarceration.

Smart hockey P

ROPONENTS of rock-em, sockem hockey took a blow to the old kisser this week when Hockey Canada’s board of directors voted to entirely eliminate body checking from the peewee, or under-13, level.

Predictably the CBC’s resident dinosaur, Don Cherry, warned us we would rue the day, voicing the increasingly hard-to-defend position that it’s better to teach kids to hit and receive hits at a younger age.

Canada’s coaching of hockey at the bantam through junior levels could certainly be improved — we have not won gold at the world juniors since 2009. But there is nothing to suggest that our hockey program will be hurt by such a move.

As it stood, the only ones being hurt were our kids — and we’ve known about it for at least 10 years.

A 2003 study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal reported that body checking was associated with 86 per cent of injuries sustained by players nine to 15 years old. A 2006 study showed that players were 42 per cent more likely to suffer a concussion and 25 per cent more likely to suffer fractures in Ontario leagues where body checking is allowed when compared to Quebec where it was not.

Sadly, we are only just beginning to realize that the effects of a blow or blows to the head can have serious repercussions later in life. Parents pay attention to this kind of medical research and it’s no coincidence that hockey registration has stagnated across Canada for the last two years.

Let’s relegate old-time hockey to where it belongs: the past.

Bears may hold keys to deep space travel Dear Editor: The world in general, and Canada in particular, recently welcomed Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield’s safe return home after a five month stint as commander of the International Space Station, a research laboratory orbiting nearly 400 kilometres above our planet.

During his time in space, Chris Hadfield entertained and educated us with everything from guided tours of the Space Station, to tele-linked musical performances of astounding clarity. Just as Pavarotti strove to remove the elitism and bring opera to the masses, so has Commander Hadfield brought a new realization and appreciation of space into our collective consciousness. He has been a remarkable ambassador of space travel, and as Canadians we can be very proud of him.

That space travel will continue is indisputable as we delve deeper and deeper into space to explore its mysteries. While

the distances covered so far are staggering beyond belief, even farther distances face future space pioneers. Distances so great that astronauts will have to be in a state of suspended animation to endure them, a condition much like the hibernating state that our local black bears enter into every winter.

Ongoing scientific research into bear hibernation has revealed the discovery of two genes that are thought to trigger hibernation.

These genes direct enzymes to burn fat rather than carbohydrates, thereby equipping the body for hibernation. During this dormant period the bear neither urinates nor defecates, a potentially dangerous situation that is automatically countered by the nitrogen waste being biochemically recycled back into protein.

The release of a special hormone (leptin) into the bear’s system suppresses appetite, and the heart rate lowers from its usual 6090 beats per minute to a shallow eight-40 beats per minute, and breathing slows to approximately one breath every 45 seconds.

Blood flow to the animal’s extremities is reduced by 45 per cent, yet remains higher at the head and torso to maintain brain function for care of newborn cubs, and survival instincts.

These and other sophisticated adaptations the bear’s system undergoes in hibernation are being studied by scientists for possible answers, not only to the problems facing future space travel, but also medical problems here on earth such as human kidney disease, gallstones, obesity, anorexia nervosa and other problems.

As we watch in wonder the experiences of Chris Hadfield, and the astonishing complexities of space travel, it’s interesting to reflect how our fence-wrecking, garbage-foraging neighbour, the black bear, is contributing so greatly, not only to our medical health, but potentially even space travel. Truly from one extreme to the other.

Longboarding on roads is an accident waiting to happen Dear Editor: I can tell that summer is close by because the issues around skateboarding and longboarding are in the North Shore News again. I do not understand parents who encourage their children that they can do anything they want, even the obviously risky activities. How often do we hear, after a young person was killed through risky behaviour, “Well, he died doing what he loved.”

Was that activity really worth it to give your life? As a consequence maybe the motorist gets the blame in a collision, “because he failed to stop.”

no place on public roads. I don’t understand parents who allow their children to use our streets and roads for their playground. I understand completely why our municipal leaders have a hard time making a fair decision about this special interest group of people.

I agree with Mayor Richard Walton, that they should form a club like the mountain bikers, and then build their own longboarding facilities — not supported by tax dollars, but perhaps by sponsors.

There is a reason that we have rules of the road which are governed by regulations of the Motor Vehicle Act and ICBC. This brings up the question of legal responsibilities and insurance.

The longboarder community should not expect me to pay for this

activity through my ICBC premiums, in case of an accident.

The reason we have an age limit for driving is not for the skill of driving a car, but for reaching a certain level of maturity. I question the maturity level of those longboarders who come “schussing” down my road, usually taking possession of both lanes, especially when they are in groups of four or more. When a longboarder rides downhill he/she controls the speed by weaving sideways, back and forth, all over the lane. If I am driving uphill in the opposite lane, and the boarder hits a groove in the road and ends up under my car before I can stop, I would feel terrible about it.

What’s the point of secondary treatment?

“The regulations include effluent quality standards that can be achieved through secondary wastewater treatment, or equivalent, and risk-based timelinestoachievethestandards. . . . Wastewater systems that pose a high-risk will need to be addressed by the end of 2020.”

Environment Canada, 18 July, 2012

REGIONAL monitoring programs have not detected any deleterious impact on effluent-receiving waters from the existing primary Lions Gate Sewage Treatment Plant.

So why has the facility been placed in the high-risk category and required to provide secondary treatment by 2020?

That question demands an immediate, non-political answer because Metro — or more specifically, the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District — is on the fast track to deciding which of three “scenarios” it will adopt as a replacement for the current primary treatment facility.

Scenarios A, B and C were distilled out of the original nine glossily-illustrated “concepts” that Metro released some months ago.

Scenario details can be found by following the Lions Gate thread from www.

Just Asking

Elizabeth James metrovancouver.org/services/ wastewater/treatment/ As is often the case with capital projects, the government-level work is being shared by a dedicated, well-qualified North Shore public advisory committee — the LGSTP PAC. One member of the committee, Dr. Troy Vassos, has influenced my own opinions about wastewater treatment technology since I first met him in 1995. A long-time North Vancouver resident, Vassos was a principal of NovaTec Consultants until January when he joined Golder Associates as senior environmental engineer.

A top man in his field, Vassos has specialized in the design of advanced water and wastewater treatment systems at the municipal and industrial level for more than 32 years.

The North Shore couldn’t ask for a better resource when it comes to treatment

Vassos confirmed the federal statement when he told me that wastewater treatment technologies “are designed solely to convert food into bacteria at an extremely high capital and operating cost.”

Even more worrisome, when asked why governments don’t target the toxic compounds in the effluent, Vassos said “it’s because end-of-pipe technology doesn’t exist to remove the contaminants of real concern.”

Disturbed by that observation, I decided to look at the situation in Greater Victoria and at the experience of that city’s residents, scientists and public health officials who, since at least 2006, have been asking similar questions.

One Oak Bay resident is David Anderson, a former provincial MLA who also represented Victoria in the House of Commons where he served as Minister of

technology, water re-use and conservation methods.

My bias declared I can now expand on my original question: Why are taxpayers being asked to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a new secondary-treatment facility at Pemberton and First Street?

The answer is important because Environment Canada states in its March 2010 Proposed Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations, “Treated wastewater may [still] contain grit, debris, biological wastes, disease-causing bacteria, nutrients and hundreds of chemicals such as those in drugs and in personal care products like shampoo and cosmetics.”

Isn’t that the material we’d rather not send into our offshore waters?

Stressing that he was speaking from personal experience and not on behalf of the LGSTP PAC,

Sunshine Cabs

Fisheries and Oceans and as Environment Minister in the Chrétien governments of 1997 and 2004.

Anderson’s fisheries appointments are particularly relevant to this story because DFO representatives on the GVSDD monitoring committee found no harmful effects in the effluent being discharged from the current Lions Gate primary treatment plant.

Emphasizing that every wastewater treatment facility must be site-specific, Anderson referred me to rstv.ca and to a Feb. 24, 2008 letter published in the Victoria Times Colonist over the signatures of six regional and provincial health officers.

Discussing their reasons for opposing what was projected to be a $1.2 billion-plus landbased treatment plant, they asked what other initiatives could be funded with those dollars. “What about housing

for the homeless, support for vulnerable children and families, public care facilities . . . light rapid transit?”

Excellent points — but their final remarks jumped right off the page.

All six agreed it made sense “to improve (Victoria’s) liquid waste disposal system” and to “place additional emphasis on source control . . . to prevent unwanted toxins from getting into sewers” — the emphasis is my own.

They closed with this zinger we’d do well to echo as we consider our North Shore dilemma: “It does not make sense to plan a massive public expenditure for which no measurable benefit has been identified.”

Amen!

But this week’s episode cannot close without reference to a different concern raised on Nov. 16, 2012 by District of See Plant page 10

Crown seeks 12-year sentence Grow-op argument led to brutal assault; man blinded in 1 eye Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A Crown prosecutor has asked that a North Vancouver man found guilty of a brutal attack inside a Phillip Avenue bungalow be sent to jail for 10 to 12 years.

At a recent sentencing hearing, Crown counsel Curt Johnson asked for the lengthy sentence for Paul Joseph Defaveri, 51, who was convicted in August of aggravated assault in connection with a violent beating tied to marijuana growops on the North Shore.

During the trial, the victim, Ronald Perry, described in horrific detail how on Sept. 2, 2009, he was hit from behind with a hammer, had his eyes gouged with someone’s fingers and was bound with

zap straps before being stuffed in a vehicle and driven to Vancouver, where he was found by a passerby.

Perry had gone to the house to try to make a deal with the boss of a criminal gang who was angry with him for Perry’s earlier involvement in a grow-rip of a marijuana operation in Lions Bay. Perry never saw who hit him from behind, although he said Defaveri — one of two men living in the house — was present when the attack began.

A second man charged in the case, Robin Pryce, was found not guilty after Judge Steven Merrick ruled there was no evidence Pryce was home when the attack happened.

But Merrick said Defaveri’s fingerprint in Perry’s blood was compelling evidence of his involvement in the violence.

Johnson called for a long jail sentence, calling the attack

a “crime of horror” that lasted eight or nine hours. Evidence in the case included blood spatter patterns on the ceiling of the bungalow.

Perry was blinded in one eye and has limited vision in the other, said Johnson, despite numerous surgeries.

He also suffered a fracture to the base of his skull and spent 11 days in hospital.

Defaveri has described himself as an accomplished marijuana grow operator on the North Shore, Johnson noted.

of harsh offences must be met with harsh sentences,” he said.

Paul McMurray, Defaveri’s defence lawyer, asked for a provincial jail sentence of less than two years.

McMurray said there’s no evidence pointing to Defaveri’s specific role in the assault, adding he has no history of violence.

“He’s not somebody who’s prone to violent outbursts,” said McMurray. “He’s not a risk to the general public.”

Merrick is expected to hand down his sentence next month.

Plant design by King Canute?

From page 7

North Vancouver Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn.

In a council conversation observed by North Shore News reporter Jeremy Shepherd, MacKay-Dunn said “The whole site could be underwater in 30 years.”

That sounded a little over-the-top even for me, so I asked Vassos what he thought and, lo and behold — “It’s a significant concern due to expected rising sea levels and the low elevation of the site,” he said.

“Metro is well aware of the issue and it’s a key design consideration.”

Sometimes I just can’t be serious — has Metro appointed King Canute to the PAC? Last November, Metro assured the North Shore News editorial department it would never build something “that’s going to wash away.”

Last Tuesday, when asked whether the site investigation report was available to the public, Metro’s project manager Fred Nenninger told me that a “technical team is undertaking this work” according to the latest provincial guidelines and the National Building Code.

The Project Definition Report is scheduled for release this fall.

Assurances notwithstanding, when you hear that the availability of the yet-to-be-committed federal funds are contingent upon the project being structured to “leverage private sector investment. . . .” you cannot but wonder whether the federal-provincial legislation is aimed at improving the quality of our effluents, or whether it’s being used as an excuse to put billions of taxpayers’ dollars into the hands of their corporate supporters. rimco@shaw.ca

Cable-free viewing not without challenges I’VE been an advocate in this column for cutting the cable cord and getting your entertainment content from online sources.

is relatively untouched with trees as old as 650 years that are growing in one of the largest pieces of undeveloped land in the Metro region. The outcome for the trees is always in question where development, conservation and recreational uses are traded between private and public ownership agendas.

I did not see the trees that were cut, they were gone. I did see the damaging effects of road building and nascent infrastructure development. It is no easy thing to build anything in mountainous lands. Construction is damaging in the forest; it’s difficult,

But I’ve also warned that in so doing you’ll be a pioneer with all the good and bad the pioneer life provides. You’ll get the thrill of settling a new frontier. You’ll also wake up one morning to find locusts have eaten your crops.

A few weeks back, I came home with a takeout order from Wendy’s. That was my first karmic mistake, but after a long day the last thing I wanted to do was cook. And I wanted to watch TV. Putting the Wendy’s bag on the kitchen counter, I decided to watch the sitcom Community on Hulu, an Internet-based TV service available only in the U.S. and to pioneering, advicedispensing cord cutters like me. My plan was to turn on my old netbook, log into a U.S. server I subscribe to and use a program called Connectify to turn the netbook into a Wi-Fi hotspot to share its American signal.

I would then turn on my PlayStation 3, log on to the Wi-Fi signal created by the netbook, fire up the Hulu Plus app on the console and watch the weird antics of the misfits

Simple is best for home entertainment From page 13 at Community’s Greendale College.

Don’t try this at home.

The first thing I noticed was that my netbook wasn’t connecting to the American server. I had no idea why. I spent several minutes fiddling with the server’s settings as my Wendy’s bag sat unopened in the kitchen. Finally I determined that the Internet cable connection from my router to the netbook wasn’t working. I had no idea why. But once I disconnected the cable and used my router’s Wi-Fi signal instead, the netbook found the Internet and the server

connected. I grabbed the Wendy’s meal, put it on a plate and sat down at the TV to turn on the PlayStation.

That’s when the PlayStation announced, via an opening onscreen message, that it wanted to update its operating system. I had no idea why or what the update was about, but it wasn’t going to let me do anything, let alone watch Community, until I activated the update. I sighed, clicked on the update, and watched in horror as it started to download. It was a significant upgrade and was going to take a long time. Wendy’s, and my patience, were growing cold. So I switched gears: if I couldn’t watch Hulu

on the PlayStation, I would watch Netflix on my Xbox 360, which sits on a shelf just above the PlayStation in my TV cabinet.

The Xbox started without a hitch. I clicked on the Netflix app and waited.

And waited more. It didn’t work. I had no idea why. Thinking perhaps the Xbox had booted up wrong, I reverted to my time honoured technique for fixing gadgets: restart. Again I clicked on the Netflix app.

And waited. And waited more. It didn’t work. I had no freaking idea why.

By this time, more than half an hour had gone by. I had barely eaten Wendy’s.

I had spent more time trying to make my cord cutting system work than it would have taken to watch the TV show I wanted to see. I gave up on the consoles, attached my Windows tablet to the TV, turned on its Netflix app and watched some dumb thing I can’t now recall. I ate my Wendy’s.

There are a few lessons here. First, I should have gone with White Spot. Second, my cord cutting system is too complicated. Its virtue is that it uses gear I’ve already got. But with multiple devices and software services piled on top of each other, my desire to outfox Shaw, Telus and the entire U.S. entertainment industry has turned it into an out of control mess.

Turning on the TV should not take half an hour.

I could use the Windows tablet all the time, but attaching it to the TV and then detaching it for tablet duty is awkward. (Plus, when I tried to control the tablet with a bluetooth mouse, it didn’t work. I have no idea why.) Simple is best. If I were starting from scratch tomorrow, I’d get an Apple TV or a Roku or both and be done with it. If I wanted U.S. Internet access, I’d go with a service called Unblockus and run

The kicker is that since that night, everything has worked fine. The server, the consoles, Netflix and Hulu all are working as expected.

Why? I have no idea. I’m just a pioneer.

••• Netflix pick: My Way (2010): With an unfortunate Frank Sinatra-ish title, this wartime Korean epic of two frenemies apparently came after the director saw Saving Private Ryan, Enemy at the Gates, Gallipoli and Chariots of Fire and then took a weekend seminar in filmmaking co-run by Oliver Stone and Michael Bay. It’s ridiculous and amazing, and threatens to turn into a half decent story of regular people ground up in the brutal machinery of history. Two takeaways: 1. It’s refreshing to see tired Second World War themes from an Asian perspective; 2.

If Korea can make movies so grand in scale, why can’t Canada.

Development threatens forest From page 13 expensive and dangerous. The Black Creek site is located on a steep mountain with some of the thinnest topsoil in the Upper Lands. The company that built the drinking water diversion station did a good job of avoiding death during construction and not taking out too much forest. But contractors do not set policy, councils do — or more correctly, citizens should.

Once we arrived, I stood with Hamilton and he said, “Someone had a pipe dream,” as we looked at the inactive and unfinished concrete water diversion structure mounted into the steep side of the mountain and stream. At a cost of $2.1 million in 2003 and further $475,000 in 2012 to repair site instability, the Black Creek water diversion is proposed to save the district $245,000 in annual water fees from the Metro water authority. Water from Black Creek is diverted at various times of the year into Eagle Lake, the district’s drinking water reservoir.

Panz and Gambioli both took responsibility for the old growth tree cutting and associated damage to the forest. It seemed unfair to me that either councillor should apologize for a problematic engineering project managed solely by district staff.

During our trek, Panz asked me why I was interested in ancient trees. My partial answer comes from the following quote: “Trees

are first and foremost fields of energy. Secondly, trees are fields of living energy. Thirdly, trees are fields of intelligent living energy.

Fourthly, as fields of energy, each tree species has its own unique vibrational qualities.” Those words are taken from a book written by Roderic Knowles entitled Gospel of the Living Tree: for Mystics, Lovers, Poets & Warriors, published by Earth Cosmos Press. In his book, Knowles provides many facts about the value of trees, including the ability of trees to purify air, trap and control dust, digest pollution, control storm water, produce oxygen, provide food and home for wildlife and to provide spiritual reverence for people.

According to the British Pacific Properties website britishproperties. com, the company owns lands earmarked for development comprising approximately 4,700 acres above the Upper Levels Highway between Marr Creek and Horseshoe Bay below 1,200 feet.

But according to the District of West Vancouver (bpaha.org/pdf/ land_area.pdf), there are 1,728 acres of undeveloped Upper Lands (below 1,200 feet).

There seems to be a significant discrepancy between the private and public accounting of the total land area that will be developed. I did see private-property-line survey pins during my trip.

The total area of all mountainous forest lands privately and publicly owned is 6,265 acres Advertisement

(Source: District of West Vancouver - Document # 591311v1). Based on a statistic in Knowles’ book: A typical urban forest of 10,000 trees can retain, partially absorb and slowly release 35 million litres of rainwater thereby preventing damaging runoff and flooding.

And, “One acre of forest produces four tons of oxygen, enough to meet the annual needs of 18 people.” (Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture).

Using a tree spacing of 20 feet apart which equals 109 trees per acre, there are 685,885 trees in the Upper Lands that can retain, partially absorb and slowly release approximately 2 billion litres of rainfall, thereby preventing flooding and erosion below. And those trees annually produce enough oxygen for 112,770 people, which is definitely a quality of life indicator.

There is no question that some of the mountainous Upper Lands will be developed. But there are also ancient trees, pristine lakes, wild places, recreational values and a valuable forest providing the benefits mentioned herein. As Panz said, “The outcome depends on how we spend our natural capital.”

Ultimately, it’s up to all citizens to get involved and decide the outcome.

World affairs and politics have always been passions of his and something he has always been interested in, says Wray in the statement. Either through reading the newspaper every morning or debating his father on current events on the car ride to school, he has always been engaged in the world around him.

When Wray joined Shawnigan Lake School two years ago he was presented with the opportunity of joining the MUN group and instantly fell in love.

Wray was further inspired to participate in the political process after visiting the House of Commons in November 2012 with the ShawniganMUNgroup,saysShawniganMUNteacher,PaulKlassen.

He also volunteered on a local provincial election campaign.

Wray’s interest in MUN has enticed him to pursue political science in university, and he hopes to study at the University of Western Ontario. In the future, he hopes to somehow be connected to the House of Commons and the federal government, he says.

Friday night food trucks Across the country there are telltale signs that spring may finally be giving way to that most anticipated and fleeting of seasons: summer.

In North Vancouver, summer’s imminent arrival is marked by the return of a relatively new phenomenon: food trucks in Shipbuilder’s Square every Friday evening now through October.

Pulling into town like a culinary carnival on a limited engagement, the food trucks, which are part of the weekly Shipyards Night Market series in Lower Lonsdale, present bright colours, rousing sounds, enticing aromas and big, bold flavours. This is the third year that the rejuvenated shipyards have played home to the night market, and the concept clearly works.

PHOTOS CHRIS DAGENAIS

Clockwise from top left: Slavic Rolls truck owner serves up some food; risotto balls from Street Meet; souvlaki on the grill at Didi’s Greek; marketgoers read over their choices; bean and cheese papusa with cassava (yuca) fries and coleslaw, from La Guanaco.

The crowd begins to take shape before vendors have properly opened shop for the evening and then swells into a sea of eager al fresco diners, shoppers, and dancers as the sun approaches the horizon. The dozen food trucks present for last Friday’s opening night filled “Hot Food Alley,” the walkway heading east from the main square towards the pier. Thousands of marketgoers descended on this season’s inaugural event and attendance is expected to increase in the coming weeks. Night Market organizer and president Ingrid Doerr says that at the height of summer, upwards of eight thousand people will visit the event every Friday evening.

“We started off with maybe one or two food trucks and now we have 15,” says Doerr of the Night Market’s continued growth. “[The Market] is kind of a one-stop shop where you can find everything. We aren’t a farmer’s market, we aren’t a concert series, we’re kind of everything”.

It was with undeniable giddiness that I surveyed the scene, devising an ambitious food sampling strategy as countless flavour

combinations played out in my mind. I began my journey with an order of crispy risotto balls from Street Meet, a Mediterranean vendor that makes use of local, seasonal ingredients. The risotto balls were an exceptional way to kick things off, their thin, crispy shells gave way to a rich and creamy centre filled with freshfrom-the-pod spring peas and the pleasant bite of good quality Parmesan.

To contrast the richness of the risotto I next visited JJ’s Trucketeria for the sweet and salty Filipino barbecue pork sandwich, a mountain of succulent marinated pork grilled to caramelized perfection and unabashedly piled atop a bed of homemade slaw, all on a soft dinner roll. Not being one to shy away from the truly excessive, I added a fried egg to the order and then squeezed a liberal dollop of sriracha over the whole creation. Priced at just $5.50, the resulting sandwich was nothing short of remarkable. Sensing a lack of available stomach capacity quickly approaching, I stopped mid-sandwich to visit Guanaco, a Salvadoran vendor that specializes in papusas, thick corn tortillas generously filled with pork, chicken, or beans and cheese. I chose the latter and was pleased by the freshness and simplicity of the dish. Papusas are tasty, hearty fare and, served with a side of cassava fries at Guanaco, represent exceptional value at just $9.50 an order.

Vancouver’s food truck scene was recently ranked third in North America by Travel & Escape, just behind Portland, Oregon and Austin Texas. This is high praise given how recently our city’s food truck vendors were issued their permits to operate. It is heartening to see the North Shore supporting the movement so readily.

d i s h To celebrate the 25th anniversary this year of The Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookie, the team behind President’s Choice conducted a survey. The following are some of their results.

Picnic tips

Thirty-nine per cent of British Columbians who participated in the survey said they like eating their cookies as a late-night snack, but even more Quebecers (66 per cent) eat their cookies as a midnight treat.

The trick is to do some prep work in advance, and find some simple recipes that you love and are quick to make. The following are some tips from Jami Scott, the healthy eating co-ordinator at Whole Foods Market, to help make your picnic low maintenance.

Healthy picnics don’t have to be difficult to prepare and they don’t have to be boring and tasteless.

Fourteen per cent of participants in Manitoba said they like eating cookies for breakfast and 15 per cent of Prince Edward Islanders and New Brunswickers said they prefer to eat their cookies during happy hour.

Thirty-eight per cent of Albertans eat cookies whenever they can get their hands on them.

Six out of 10 people in British Columbia and Ontario prefer to eat their cookies with tea and coffee. Five out of 10 Albertans and Quebecers prefer to eat their cookies with a cold glass of milk, and one out of four New Brunswickers enjoy their cookies with pop and juice.

Overall, six out of 10 Canadians who participated said they prefer to drink tea or coffee with their cookies.

Forty-five per cent of British Columbians like to eat their cookies in the kitchen,

along with 46 per cent of those in Ontario, compared to 18 per cent of Albertans who like to eat their cookies in bed.

On the East Coast, 30 per cent of people in New Brunswick who participated in the survey said they prefer to eat their cookies at work compared to 48 per cent of Prince Edward Islanders who like to eat their cookies anywhere they can.

A third of British Columbians eat more than one cookie a day, compared to half of Quebecers who eat more than one cookie a day and half of those in Ontario who eat less than one cookie a day.

■ Make a heartier salad using kale or cabbage a few days in advance and put the dressing in a separate container. Wait until just before serving to toss together so it will taste fresh and the ingredients won’t go soggy. Grain and legume salads are also great options and last for a while in the fridge.

■ Prepare what you can ahead of time, including cutting up veggies to make your own trail mix or making some of your favourite dips or raw desserts. It’s easier to throw together an impressive picnic when you don’t have to spend a lot of time chopping and mixing. Most veggies can last about a week in the fridge when they are cut. All you need is a few extra hours of kitchen prep time and some handy storage containers.

■ Your freezer isn’t just for ice. Freeze your favourite dips.

Hummus doesn’t take long to defrost and can be frozen in different sized containers depending on what you want to use it for. Avocados aren’t the best to freeze, though, you’re better off sticking to bean or veggiebased dips. Raw desserts are also easy to make and freeze.

North Van’s finest Advertisement

North Vancouver now has an established dining area in Lower Lonsdale.

One of them, The District, is truly a one-of-a-kind eatery that’s attracted a following of devoted diners.

The brainchild of partners Paul MonKau and Jeff Murl, The District is a European restaurant with an emphasis on home-style Dutch, Belgian and French bistro dishes served by people with a serious passion for food, as well as a delicious weekend brunch which offers two versions of Belgian waffle.

It’s a great place to meet up, dine with friends and chill out.

The restaurant reflects Paul’s years in the hospitality industry and Dutch heritage, as well as Jeff’s extensive travels throughout Europe as a working ski guide, creating a concept not available anywhere else on the North Shore.

French –in a creamy white wine, garlic, thyme and leek broth.

The main menu is everyday Benelux – charcuterie, mussels,croque monsieurs, krokets as well fresh Kennebec potatoes prepared in ‘Flaams friture’ style – crispy and delicious (served with mayo of course). They also have a solid selection of North American favorites, like a house ground Steak burger,and an amazing chicken and brie sandwich – both available with house made bacon,

The focus is on flavour, a unique experience and proving great value.

The European influence extends to the bar where Paul and Jeff have sourced 30 Belgian beers (including the number one beer in the world Westvletern 12).

The restaurant also has a large liquor selection ranging from Absinthes to Scotches, which have been crafted into a cocktail menu worthy of a downtown night spot.

One of the other stars of the menu are the mussels- plump, fresh, local and certified Ocean Wise. Servings are 1 1/3 pounds in four different preparations, with patat frites and grilled bread. The District style is red onion, garlic, Russell beer, charred Roma tomato, chorizo, fresh tarragon and spices.

They also take pride in have some of BC’s best wines available like Joie, La Frenz and Van Westen – all selected because they truly represent the best that can be found.

One of the reasons the District has been successful is that they don’t try to be all things to all people.

Other treatments include bacon and blue cheese, red curry and Classic

It’s a boisterous, lively destination where people are as important as the food and joie de vivre is always a priority – if you’re not having a good time while eating and drinking then you’re doing it wrong. They intentionally made the tables closer together than most restaurants to encourage their patrons to meet new people and share experiences.

After 5 years at The District, Paul and Jeff opened El Matador, a Spanish Tapas Bar one block away from their flagship.

They are excited to bring you their newest spot The LITTLE district later this summer at 13th and Lonsdale.

If you haven’t found these little bits of Europe in North Vancouver, they’re worth dropping by you’ll probably love it.

Food fit for a baby

Leah Garrad-Cole never really thought about baby food until she had her own kids.

When she had her first child about three years ago, she felt there weren’t a lot of healthy options in the baby food aisle, so she decided to make her own baby food, and made much of the food her daughter Poppy ate.

At the time, they were living in her husband’s native England, where he was working in finance. When the family moved back to Canada, the couple was looking for a business idea and decided baby food was a good fit for them. “I’ve always really loved cooking. I see myself as a very enthusiastic home cook,” says Garrad-Cole.

The idea for Love Child Organics was born about two years ago and the line started selling in February. Garrad-Cole says here in Canada there isn’t a really good selection of baby food compared to the U.S. or the U.K., and she wanted to offer something other than jarred food, which she says tends to be much more processed since it has to be cooked for a long period of time at high temperatures.

Although the final product is now produced in an organic facility, Garrad-Cole still designs the flavours in her own kitchen.

She chops and purees fruits and veggies, and tests various flavour combinations before starting the process of introducing a new flavour to the line. Although her husband is also on hand to help with the flavour testing, her kids, Poppy and Cameron, are the final judges.

“It doesn’t matter if the parents like it, ultimately the kids need to eat it,” says Garrad-Cole, and she admits there is one flavour she just couldn’t bring together.

“We’ve been trying recently really hard to do something with green beans and pumpkin and banana and we just could not make it work out.”

She went through many versions of the combination and in the end decided it just wasn’t an option. It takes about seven months to roll out a new flavour from start to finish, and an important element to the ingredient list for all the flavours is quinoa, which is included for added nutrition.

“We wanted something that was much less processed and also didn’t contain any preservatives at all,” says Garrad-Cole, noting even organic food can contain preservatives. Their production includes some pasteurizing and balancing the PH of the food, and then the sealing process allows it to be shelf stable for 12 months.

“When I was making my own baby food I was always trying to include as many nutritious ingredients as I possibly could,” she notes.

“It’s a rather scientific process,” says Garrad-Cole, who says taking the product from kitchen to stores has been a long process with a steep learning curve. “There are so many different components to running a business and you just have to learn so much and learn it so quickly.”

“I would always put kale or spinach in to something. I would never just make plain apple sauce, I would always add something else to it. So that’s always our goal with each one of our products is to try to get as many nutritious ingredients in there as we can.”

PHOTO SUPPLIED

Leah Garrad-Cole created the baby food company Love Child Organics with her husband John after deciding there weren’t enough healthy, organic food options without preservatives for her daughter.

Garrad-Cole works with a nutritionist as part of the Love Child Organics team. Although Garrad-Cole and her family now live in Whistler, she is a graduate of West Vancouver secondary and lived with her husband in Cypress Park before moving to England. When she lived in West Vancouver, she was a teacher at Caulfeild, West Bay and Chartwell schools. Her parents still live on Bowen Island.

Garrad-Cole and her husband John work on the business together, which has been an experience since they’ve never worked together before. “There’s moments of challenges there,” she says with a laugh. But, in general, the partnership is working out well, and the pair has big plans to grow the brand.

Currently, the company is running a campaign to raise money for charity. For every “like” they receive on Facebook, they will donate one dollar to Make-A-Wish until they reach 5,000. In addition, one cent per pouch of food sold will go to a charity called Playground Builders, which build playgrounds for children in war-torn countries.

the best of the best in west vancouver

Restaurant customers in Greater Vancouver are some of the luckiest on Earth: local kitchens have access to an abundant supply of fresh ingredients and there are so many dining destinations to choose from that serving someone a bad meal is almost suicidal. We get the best of the best, and for a restaurant to survive it has to be consistently excellent.

In 2011, when Rick and Lisa Kim unveiled the Olive & Anchor at 6418 Bay Street in Horseshoe Bay, they were replacing the popular Ya Ya’s Oyster Bar that had been a West Vancouver fixture since the early 1980s. Would the dining public embrace the change?

The answer has been a resounding ‘yes’.

In just over two years, the Olive & Anchor has managed the unthinkable. According to online travel rating service ‘Trip Advisor’, they are the number one ranked dining destination in West Vancouver.

A closer look reveals how the young couple have created a serious go-to dining spot for locals and visitors alike.

Rick has been in the restaurant business since he was 16, when his father and some partners bought Ya Ya’s. In the 21 years since, Rick learned the business side of restaurants and got to know what the local paying public liked and didn’t like.

Lisa is a red seal certified chef who served in the kitchens at Le Crocodile and the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver after graduating from a series of culinary institutions.

When Rick and Lisa became partners in life, partnering in business just made sense. They took over the family business and today the Olive & Anchor is a vital part of the Horseshoe Bay community and the North Shore dining scene.

The atmosphere is casual and friendly. There’s lots of natural light and a sidewalk patio for sunny day relaxation. The colour scheme is

simple: basic black with light wood tones, enhanced with nautical photos and charts from local maritime history.

Hardwood floors and open floor plan make it easy for families with youngsters and strollers. There’s also a selection of meals for kids – all priced at $8 – that include pasta, chicken, grilled cheese and more.

For grownups, there are plenty of choices. Lisa’s background in and passion for fine dining is revealed in some of the menu selections: oysters are available in 9 different treatments including raw, tempura, pan fried and more. They have kept the popular Oysters Ya Ya’s on the menu: cooked on the half-shell with spinach, garlic, cream and parmesan cheese.

All seafood is as local and fresh as you will find anywhere. The oysters are west coast and come from different suppliers depending on the season.

Given the quality of ingredients and preparation, prices are very reasonable. Appetizers begin at $5.00 for the Edamame and top out at $14.00 for the Sat Spring Mussels in white wine with bacon, shallots, scallions and cream, served with garlic toast.

Portion size for sandwiches and burgers are more than generous.

The Anchor Burger is a half pound of certified Angus beef topped with dry cured bacon, cheddar cheese, portabellini mushroom, lettuce, tomato, red onion and pickle. Add fresh cut Kennebec French fries, soup or salad and you’ve got a serious meal.

Entrees are Lisa’s take on classic dishes such as Seafood Paella risotto, Curry Thai seafood, Chicken

Tikka Masala and Grilled strip loin.

The signature dish has to be the Cioppino seafood hot pot– fresh mussels, wild BC salmon, Pacific grey cod, prawns, scallops and calamari bathed in a zesty red pepper tomato broth and served with grilled garlic toast.

Daily specials are determined by what chef Lisa is able to get fresh that day. Favourites include butternut squash ravioli and slow-braised short ribs. The specials are updated every day by Rick and posted on the front page of the Olive & Anchor web site: oliveandanchor.com.

The local focus also extends to the bar where they have six local draught beer selections on tap. The wine list also includes reds and whites from BC as well as select labels from the world’s great vineyards.

If the patio is full and it’s too nice a day to sit outside, you can phone ahead and pick up your meal from the bar. The Olive & Anchor take out window is also at your service and the menu includes their tempura fish and chips, burgers, sandwiches, soups, salads, beverages and their own creation: the Korean BBQ Goggie Dog. This is AAA shaved rib-eye, soy ginger marinade, sautéed onion, fresh ranch slaw, miso aioli and tomato salsa served on a brioche hoagie bun.

It’s all about giving you a reason to come back. From the unpretentious surroundings and portion sizes to the elegant simplicity of the food presentation and modest prices, they understand that you have a choice about where to dine.

Makes your choice a little easier, doesn’t it

Chef in the kitchen

When chef Louis Gervais is at home he likes to eat peanut butter.

That’s a little surprising since you’d expect to find something more along the lines of Cabernet Beef with Mignonette Sauce, Medallions of Pork Loin with garlic jus or Padano Crusted Chicken Breast with Spatzle Noodles on his dinner table.

Those are all dishes that have been known to come out of his North Vancouver catering business and bistro, Louis Gervais Fine Foods and Catering.

But the one-time executive chef of the Sutton Place Hotel admits: “I love peanut butter. I could do peanut butter on a white baguette, just straight peanut butter.”

After moving to Vancouver from Montreal about 35 years ago, Gervais worked in several restaurants, but left the hotel scene about 16 years ago. He did a bit of consulting for restaurants for a few years then decided to focus on catering. He says he always wanted to open a restaurant, but catering was not something he particularly enjoyed when he was working at hotels.

“Actually I hated it,” he reports.

Along with catering for events in all the hotel ballrooms, one hotel he worked at opened an outside catering division and Gervais found the additional travel and set-up, including finding a water source, cooking, presenting, and managing clean-up, garbage, recycling, and a carbon footprint, among other tasks, was taxing.

“It’s like opening a restaurant everywhere you go.”

These days, however, as chef and owner of his own business, Gervais

is loving the venture. He credits his team of staff and managers with helping to keep the operation a success. It’s a team that includes his wife Kelly in the marketing division.

“She’s the one that makes me look good,” he says.

The first catering kitchen Gervais opened was a converted auto mechanic garage on East First Street between Lonsdale and St. Georges avenues. He was there for 10 years. About four years ago, he found his place among the growing Harbourside Drive foodie strip, where his new bistro and catering business is located.

With an inside sitting area and an outdoor patio, the space is open to anyone and feeds a steady stream of local business professionals each day, offering a light breakfast and a lunch menu.

they want locally fed, organic meat, and they’re ready to pay the price.”

They’re also ready to learn more about how to make their own culinary masterpieces.

When discussing the many general and team-building cooking classes offered at his bistro, Gervais says he enjoys working with clients, but he is quick to point out that his sous chef Bernard Deslaurier is really more of an instructor.

Gervais prefers sharing a glass of wine and some sage advice with his visitors, and admits he is happy to pit couples against each other in amateur Iron Chef and mystery ingredient classes.

As a longtime caterer, Gervais has seen many food trends come and go, and says they’re not unlike fashions, falling in and out of style.

But one has remained a perennial favourite: “Pasta really stuck.”

It’s easy to make and popular with kids, students and people on a budget, says Gervais.

“Everybody likes Italian food.”

These days, clients are more savvy and knowledgeable about food, he notes. They can’t be tricked by a third-grade piece of beef with a really nice sauce on top, which was not an unknown occurrence decades ago in some old-style restaurants, he says.

“People are much more educated about healthy food now,” he notes.

“They want Ocean Wise fish and

Buddies back Deep Cove brewery Longtime buddies Shae de Jaray and Shawn Bethune, like many young dudes before them, often bandied about the idea of opening their own brewery.

The two even started cooking up their own home brew on the patio of the Deep Cove apartment they shared.

Last May, however, Bethune came home from a particularly crappy day in his civil engineering job and something snapped.

“He threw his bag down on the floor and was like, ‘I can’t do it anymore.

This (brewery) is happening now,’” said de Jaray, recalling the incident.

“Literally since that moment we have not stopped working on this.”

It’s all happening now. Last week the crew at Deep Cove Brewers and Distillers was hard at work going through test runs and setting up a custom made silver bar in their almostready brewery and tasting room on Dollarton Highway.

Dodging around soon-to-be-filled wooden barrels, de Jaray could barely

contain his joy.

“I have never been happier,” he said.

“It’s the dream job.”

It may be every young dude’s dream but, in fact, these aren’t your ordinary young dudes. The pair both have engineering degrees from Queen’s University with de Jaray specializing in designing wineries and breweries, and de Jaray also went to Heriot-Watt University in Scotland to earn a masters of science in brewing and distilling.

When he came back to the Lower Mainland he worked as a brewer at Steamworks before taking a job for a company that designs and builds breweries. It has all built up to this moment.

The pair has brought on brewer Kevin Emms, formerly of Coal Harbour Brewing Company, and marketer Trish Garratt to round out the core crew

that hopes to start pumping out their three main beers, Wise Crack West Coast Lager, Loud Mouth Pale Ale and Quick Wit Wheat Ale, in the next week or so with spirits such as gin and vodka to follow by summertime.

Not bad for a couple of young dudes.

All four of the Deep Cove crew are, in fact, under 30 years old. They may be young, said de Jaray, but they are ready.

“I think it gives us an interesting edge.

We’re all young, we’re all extremely driven, we’re extremely passionate about what we want to do here,” he said. “In the grand scheme of things when you look at our core team, we all come from different backgrounds but have been doing this for just as long as lots of other guys. We just got into it a little younger.”

The Journey to Greener Sushi

The road to sustainable sushi isn’t always an easy one, but it’s well worth the journey.

At least, that’s the experience of certain Vancouver-area sushi chefs who have made the commitment to offering sustainable seafood options.

Sustainable seafood has become more and more popular in recent years, thanks to heightened awareness around the issues of overfishing and unsustainable fishing practices, and initiatives such as Ocean Wise, Vancouver Aquarium’s national sustainable seafood program.

This increased awareness has sparked questions among consumers as to where they can enjoy sustainable sushi options in the Vancouver area. The good news is that there are a growing number of Ocean Wise restaurants that provide sustainable sushi options on their menu (see below for a sample list of Ocean Wise sushi partners).

point where many of our customers come to our restaurant because we are an Ocean Wise partner. We even go so far as to provide a number of menu options that are made of 100 per cent Ocean Wise recommended seafood, such as our original Sakura Roll and Seafood Shooter.”

Sous chef Alan Ferrer of Minami Restaurant echoes a similar sentiment. Aburi Restaurants Canada opened Minami in Yaletown last June, which is a sister establishment to the ever-popular Miku Restaurant, which opened in 2007.

“Sourcing sustainable seafood for sushi is difficult, and there is always the balance that needs to be struck between providing green options and meeting our business imperatives,” says Ferrer.

“However, we are taking on the commitment to provide and expand Ocean Wise Zen Japanese menu options, and aim to Restaurant’s original Ocean Wise Sakura Roll do our part in educating - seasoned tuna and consumers on what zucchini tempura sustainable seafood rolled in egg crépe, options are available.” then wrapped with ume-infused pickled daikon.

Zen Japanese Restaurant in West Vancouver was Canada’s first Ocean Wise sushi partner, and joined the program in 2009. With the help of Ocean Wise, the team at Zen was able to replace unsustainable seafood options with Ocean Wise choices.

“Prior to joining the Ocean Wise program, we practiced seafood sustainability on our own,” said the restaurant’s chef, Nobu Ochi. “However, it just became harder and harder to find accurate information on what is sustainable, so that’s why we jumped on board, and used information provided by Ocean Wise to help us in our quest to source sustainable ingredients,” he adds.

It hasn’t always been an easy endeavor to source sashimi-grade Ocean Wise seafood for his sushi, but Ochi is committed to providing sustainable options, even with the challenges that may come with it.

“It is well worth the effort because we are committed to seafood sustainability, to the

Mike McDermid, partner relations manager of the Ocean Wise program, says that one factor challenging the sustainability of seafood for sushi is the popularity of relatively few items for sushi – specifically shrimp/prawns, tuna and salmon – each of which has ocean-friendly and non-ocean friendly choices. He advises consumers to support Ocean Wise partners who offer sushi, such as Zen and Minami, and select menu options labeled with the Ocean Wise symbol.

“One opportunity provided by non-traditional cuisines in our market, such as sushi, is that it can introduce us to new and potentially more sustainable variety of seafood options,” says McDermid. “Good examples of nowpopular sustainable sushi options include local albacore tuna, sablefish and B.C. spot prawns, in addition to items like mackerel, sea urchin, and geoduck.”

You can be part of the solution by choosing Ocean Wise menu items at partner restaurants. Visit oceanwise.ca for a full list of partner Ocean Wise restaurants, or download the Ocean Wise iPhone app for an easy, onthe-go resource. ■

There are many advantages to a good summer job for teens. The obvious one is money; he will be earning to save for his post-secondary education or the extra spending money or both.

You will likely see changes that will surprise you. He will become more mature because he has this new role with responsibilities no matter how small. He will learn that he needs to follow the rules of the workplace. He will have to be organized in order to get to work on time and may have to be flexible if he is working shifts. He will also

learn how to follow orders and how to be part of a team.

But, he may not do as good a job of ensuring his safety and awareness of his rights in the workplace.

Recently, I was having a lovely lunch with friends on the upper level of a twolevel patio. Right below us, young workers were installing a temporary roof for the

summer.

One young man was carrying a large roll of plastic up a ladder. Watching him was difficult because the load was too heavy, his arms and legs were shaking, his body covered in sweat and he looked terrified. It was an industrial accident waiting to happen.

He should have insisted that they figure out a safer way to handle the job. But, my guess is that he was typical of most young workers.

They believe they are invincible and will not be hurt; they’re inexperienced, are unaware of their rights on the job, they lack confidence and they’re afraid to ask questions.

They are unprepared for the workplace. They lack the training they need to keep See Model page 44

THAT’S MY PINT Beer columnist Andy Prest interviews the marketing director of Vancouver Craft Beer Week. page 38

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to EXCEPTIONAL CUISINE

Final column bids a fond farewell

Deana Lancaster Contributing writer

“NOW is the time to set your sights high and go for it.”

The slip of paper curled inside the fortune cookie was as clichéd as any I’d busted out before it, but in this case, the timing made it conspicuous.

I’d been thinking a lot about change; about the ways it makes you stretch and grow, and about how little I’d had of that lately.

There was plenty of creative learning and growing when I first began writing The Dish.

It was more than 12 years ago that North Shore News managing editor Terry Peters asked me if I wanted to start writing the restaurant column.

I’d already been editing the Taste section: deciding on stories and content;

finding and writing about interesting products, people and events; laying out pages, copy editing, and writing headlines. I’d worked in restaurants since the first dishwashing gig my brother lined up for me when I was 14, and only hung up my server’s apron after landing a full-time job at the paper, so it was a good fit.

Taking on a column was another story.

A columnist must have an opinion and be prepared to stand by it. Readers will sometimes make dining choices based on that opinion, so honesty is important.

But this newspaper is woven into a rich community fabric made up of hundreds of small, family-owned businesses, and I have always been aware that my words may impact them. It is not a responsibility I have ever taken lightly. I’ve tried to be fair, but honest, and to frame any criticism in a constructive way.

Early on, I decided not to run my photo with my column, and to make reservations under my husband’s last name. I’m not anonymous, and I’ve accepted many invitations that offered a good story angle or opportunities to learn, but I don’t trade on my name or my job. When I’m reviewing, I endeavor

to have the same dining experience that any other customer does.

I found out quickly that a restaurant critic doesn’t need to be a fussy diner. Just the opposite: you need an open mind and heart, and an adventurous palate.

I learned about food and wine (and beer, and spirits).

I spent two months’ worth of Saturdays volunteering in the kitchen of a luxury hotel downtown, discovering the intricate choreography that goes into a restaurant meal.

I took wine and cooking classes, toured wineries and organic farms, sabered Champagne bottles and served as a judge in everything from clam chowder competitions to the Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards.

I ate delicious (and sometimes not so delicious) food and drank wine in restaurants, farmers’ fields and vineyards, under the stars and next to campfires. Best of all, I met passionate and dynamic chefs, restaurateurs, producers, farmers and winemakers; I found friends and mentors; and I was able to establish a relationship with you, my readers.

I have been so incredibly lucky.

Now it’s time for the next course: for new creative challenges. I’m leaving The Dish, but I’ll be taking

what I’ve learned here and launching my own public relations firm, focusing on what else? The food and wine industry.

Next week, there will be a new writer in this space.

North Shore resident Chris Dagenais knows restaurants. He has a lengthy list of restaurant work on his resume, including GM and sommelier for The Observatory on Grouse Mountain, and stints at Hotel Vancouver, working in both 900 West and Griffins.

He has a terrific way with words and is genuinely excited to explore the North Shore restaurant scene (and beyond), and to share it with News readers. I couldn’t be happier with the choice — he’s going to do a great job.

As for me, I have some thanks to hand out: to my family and friends for accompanying me on many, many dining adventures; to my parents for reading and clipping out every column; to the North Shore News for giving me the space and the opportunity; and to my editor Terry Peters for always backing me up.

Most of all, to you: thanks for reading. Perhaps we’ll run into each other while we’re dining out in a restaurant one of these days.

I’ll be the one who isn’t taking notes.

Seventeen years is a long time but it seems to have flown by. That is how long I have had the pleasure of working with Deana Lancaster, but now we are saying goodbye.

During those years, Deana became our food columnist and she was also an award-winning journalist with an interest in aboriginal issues and outdoor recreation.

She contributed to all areas of the newspaper and most recently was in charge of our special features.

It is a great thing to work with talented writers and even better when they are also wonderful people. I was lucky on both accounts with Deana and will miss her, but wish her good luck in the future.

Sharing a dream SPECIAL Olympics athletes Kristina Tammark (centre left) and Emilie Narcise join Staples employees Claire Gayton, Matt Hoegg and Dave Rutledge at a recent barbecue fundraiser held at the Marine Drive location.

The event, called Give a Toonie Share a Dream, raises money to help support Special Olympics Canada.

Craft beer week is back, bigger Andy Prest aprest@nsnews.com

EVERY year since they first put on Vancouver Craft Beer Week four years ago, organizers of the event have run into a similar problem: where to fit the growing number of folks interested in attending their big, show-stopping finale.

The first year they held it for 200 close friends at Heritage Hall on Main Street. Year 2 it moved to the Drill Hall on Beatty Street for a two-day party with 400 people per day. Last year they bumped up again to the Salt Building on Manitoba Street with another two-day blast, this time with 600 people a day.

Inspired by beer pioneers in the hoppy hotbeds of Portland and Seattle and fueled by a glut of new micro breweries on British Columbia’s West Coast, this year the VCBW final parties have doubled in size again and will serve up to 1,200 beer lovers per day plus another 500 servers, hosts and the like.

“This is definitely our biggest but I would say even the last two years we continue to surprise ourselves with the amount of interest,” said marketing director Chris Bjerrisgaard. “I’m sure we’re going to plateau out one

that’s my pint

year, but I thought that was going to be last year, and then this year is even crazier.”

So where to put them all this year?

It was a tough question.

“We just couldn’t find the right sized venue,” said Bjerrisgaard. “Renting something that can hold 1,500-1,700 people for a day in Vancouver can cost you an arm and a leg. So the solution we came up with was beerhall style tents — build your own venue.”

And that’s what they’ll do.

Vancouver Craft Beer Week, running May 31-June 8, will close out their festival with two massive parties featuring more than 65 local and international brewers under big-top tents on the east parking lot of the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond.

If you’re relatively new to the craft beer scene — and judging by the growth of the industry it seems like there’s a decent chance you are — VCBW’s finales on June

7 and 8 seem like the perfect place to start.

If you make it into the tent but are still a bit intimidated by all the shiny taps and endless beer-label puns, just ask someone for help, said Bjerrisgaard.

“Find someone with a big beard or someone wearing a VCBW T-shirt, because they’ve clearly been to this game before,” he said. “The craft beer community is extremely friendly. People have no problem taking someone who is not educated and educating them.

Everybody is happy to do it. It’s one of those things, don’t ever be afraid to sound like you’re new to the scene because that’s where you’ll get the greatest response.”

As the name of the game clearly states, this is not just one party but a whole week (actually nine days) of parties.

Visit vancouvercraftbeerweek. com for a list of nightly events that will pair multiple breweries together with all types of shenanigans to suit people all over the beer nerd spectrum.

The only beers you won’t find are the ones made by the big corporations. Mr. Molson can stop by if he likes, said Bjerrisgaard, but he can’t set up a table.

“He can buy a ticket and attend if he wants to find out what’s interesting — his brewery is not invited.”

Beer Week shows off the unified spirit of the craft beer industry, competitors working

together toward a common goal, said Bjerrisgaard, adding that in Portland craft brews make up 40 per cent of the marketplace while in Vancouver that number is closer to 20 per cent. But it’s growing, and will continue to do so if everyone in the industry continues to play their cards right. No wonder the event’s tagline is “We’re going all in.”

“On paper you could consider everybody competitors but we’re really going after the macro, we’re trying to take down the big guy. And as a group of ants trying to take down the elephant, we’re not doing too bad of a job.

If we just keep working together and don’t become voracious competitors and cannibalize ourselves, we can take a bite out of the big guy. That’s why it’s called Vancouver Craft Beer Week, not Vancouver Beer Week.

We wanted to make that distinction so it couldn’t be co-opted.”

It’s a heady time for Beer Week organizers but also a hectic one. I interviewed Bjerrisgaard in mid-afternoon shortly after he got off the phone with a reporter from a national newspaper.

“I’m realizing it’s almost three o’clock and I haven’t eaten today,” he said with a laugh. “I just wake up and start working and then realize, ‘Oh crap.’”

Sounds like somebody could use a beer.

TASTE

BBQ menu features chicken

THE evenings are getting warmer and it’s time to do some outdoor entertaining.

Cooking dinner on a barbecue is a relaxed and nofuss way to feed friends and family, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for run-ofthe-mill steaks or burgers.

Here’s an easy and delicious early summer entertaining menu that is easy on hosts. The dessert can be made well ahead of time and prep for the main dish is minimal. Let your better half work the grill so you can sit back and sip on a margarita with your guests.

Tropical Margaritas Leave out the tequila for a kid-friendly version.

1 cup crushed ice 1 oz gold tequila ½ cup orange sherbet 2 oz guava nectar 2 oz pineapple juice 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until slushy.

Serve in a margarita glass.

Makes one drink.

Baja Grilled Chicken Salad 1 Tbsp chili powder 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp minced garlic 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice ¼ cup olive oil 2 Tbsp finely chopped cilantro 1½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 sweet onion (Spanish or Walla Walla), cut into thick slices 1 red pepper, seeded and cut into quarters 2 small zucchini, cut in half

Romancing the Stove Angela Shellard

lengthwise Salt and freshly ground black pepper Dressing: ½ cup mayonnaise ¼ cup salsa 1 Tbsp lime juice 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro Salt and freshly ground pepper To garnish platter: 2 cups tortilla chips; 1 avocado, peeled and sliced In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic, lime juice, olive oil and two tablespoons of chopped cilantro. Place chicken breasts in a plastic food bag; place onion slices, red pepper and zucchini in a separate bag. Divide the olive oil-spice mixture evenly between the two bags; seal the bags and gently squeeze and shake them to coat contents with oil mixture. Let marinate for one hour.

To make the dressing, combine mayonnaise, salsa, lime juice and two tablespoons of cilantro in a small bowl.

Season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.

Preheat grill to high.

Season marinated chicken and vegetables with salt and pepper, then place them on the

grill. Grill chicken for about five minutes per side or until juices run clear; grill vegetables about four minutes per side or until tender. Let chicken and vegetables cool slightly, then cut vegetables into strips and chicken into slices. Place on a serving platter and drizzle dressing evenly over top. If dressing is too thick add a little milk to reach desired consistency. Surround chicken and vegetables with sliced avocado and tortilla chips.

Makes six servings.

Frozen Lime Meringue Dessert

egg whites until foamy, then gradually add the sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.

Gently spread meringue evenly over filling and put under a preheated broiler for just a few seconds, until meringue turns lightly golden on tips. Let dish cool, then place it in the freezer for at least eight hours or overnight (don’t cover it until it has been in the freezer for a couple of hours or meringue will come off when you remove the cover).

Remove dessert from freezer about 15 minutes before you want to serve it so it can soften slightly. Makes eight servings.

I’ve been making this dessert for as long as I can remember. It’s easy and so good.

Crust: 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs ¼ cup melted butter Filling: 3 egg yolks 1 can sweetened condensed milk Half a can of frozen limeade concentrate Juice and finely grated zest of one lime 1 cup whipping cream Meringue: 3 egg whites 1⁄3 cup granulated sugar

BAJA Salad sliced tortilla warm, menu.

Mix the graham crumbs and melted butter together and press into a glass, eight-byeight-inch baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for five minutes.

Let cool completely.

For the filling, beat the egg yolks for about 30 seconds with an electric mixer, then add condensed milk, limeade and lime juice. Beat until thick, then stir in lime zest. Beat the whipping cream to soft peaks, then fold into lime mixture.

Pour into crust.

CAMPING is a favourite B.C. pastime.

But if your only claim to culinary fame at your family campsite is burnt-marshmallow s’mores, you might be surprised to learn there are campers out there making borscht, goat

cheese bruschetta and Hawaiian marinated pork chops by the fire side.

In this new cookbook, the authors outline tips and techniques, and include a hefty amount of recipes divided into categories including Dinners, Desserts, Mixed Drinks, Weekend Gourmet and Cold Weather Camping.

Photos sprinkled throughout the pages help prove people actually can enjoy more than dried, packaged food when camping.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTS ...

On behalf of the Canadian Soccer Association, we would like to congratulate and commend all players and coaches for their hard work and dedication in reaching the AAA Girls Soccer BC High School Provincials 2013, and extend our appreciation to Argyle Secondary School, the host of the competition.

The Canadian Soccer Association is proud to be at the heart of a vibrant soccer community, and in partnership with its membership and its partners, provides leadership in the pursuit of excellence in soccer, both at the national and international levels and strives to lead Canada to victory, but also encourages Canadians to a life-long passion for soccer. We look forward to welcoming the world to Canada and to Vancouver for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015.

Victor Montagliani President, Canadian Soccer Association

The BC School AAA Championships are a fantastic showcase for high school girls soccer and BC Soccer wishes all the very best to the participants from across the Province. BC School Sports and hosts Argyle Secondary School should be congratulated on all of their hard work leading up to the championships and will provide a memorable experience for everyone taking part.

BC Soccer’s role is to promote and develop the game of soccer in BC and it is fantastic that almost half of the 120,000 registered soccer players in BC are female. High profile annual championships such as this, along with the growing excitement around the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup and Vancouver hosting the final game, and the work of the BC Soccer Diversity Working Group who are focusing on ‘Women in Soccer’, will further increase awareness, generate opportunities and drive participation for girls and women in soccer.

Proud to support soccer on the North Shore Suite #180 400 Brooksbank Ave.,

The AAA Girls High School Provincial Soccer Championships returns to the North Shore for the first time in a number of years. The hosts Argyle Secondary, will be hoping to build on their outstanding record in the tournament having finished in the top eight on seventeen occasions and taking the Provincial title on a record nine times.

The Pipers girls soccer alumni includes Ros Hicks, the current Assistant Coach at West Vancouver Soccer Club, a three time tournament MVP (1995’1997’1998’). Janine Kerr a former Canadian National Youth team player picked up MVP honours in both 2002 and 2003. Kristi Weeks, Rhianne Sleiman and Lisa Furutani all went on to represent Canada at youth level.

Jessie DeBoer the “Golden Boot” winner from the 2010-11 Championship winning team is currently playing her soccer at Queens University where she has won “Rookie of the Year” honours in the Ontario conference.

Former Vancouver Whitecaps residency player Lucielle Kozlov, a stand out player on the 2011-12 roster, is now playing her soccer at Dartmouth College in the United States. Argyles current roster includes a mixture of youth and experience. Grade Twelve students Jessie Blanchard, Gemma Fox and goalkeeper Austin Struder will be making their fourth trip to the championships. This trio have been through the heartbreak of a penalty shoot-out final loss to Claremont in 2009-10 which was quickly turned round the following year as Argyle gained revenge on their Vancouver Island rivals with a championship winning performance in the 2010-11 final in Kamloops.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE TEAMS!

themselves safe.

Bored kids often don’t pay strict attention, which leads to accidents. Unless they’ve been taught how to handle physical jobs, they are likely to be hurt lifting or pulling. Also, some supervisors don’t take safety seriously and may not have any safety training themselves.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that we can inoculate our children and help them prepare for their first foray into the world of work.

Before he starts his first job, it’s a good idea for you to do some research and discover what his rights are. The best place to start is at worksafebc.com.

Under Safety at Work on the main menu bar, go to Topics/Young Worker, then Resources/Parents and look at the materials in the Parent Resource Kit. The videos on Youtube and printed materials will give you the information you need to help your child be a safe worker.

Another way we help our kids is by our actions.

Modelling safe practices at home is the first and most important step.

When you are cutting the lawn do you wear sturdy footwear? Do you wear a helmet when cycling and a lifejacket in the boat? Are you careful with knives in the kitchen? When lifting a heavy object, do you use your legs instead of your back and ask for help if it’s too heavy? And do you talk to the kids about what you are doing and why?

When your child goes for a job interview, let her know that it’s OK for her ask questions. She can ask about risks on the job and about the safety training they can expect.

Once they have the job, talk to them about it. Ask about their duties, and listen carefully. For example, if he is a cook and handles grease have him describe what they do to stay safe from burns.

Probably the most important thing you can do is educate your child about his rights. Kids are afraid that if they ask for help or training they will be fired.

With good training and awareness, your child’s first job can be a growth experience that will be the first of a lifetime of work experiences.

Argyle and Handsworth tackle AAA provincials at Inter River Andy Prest aprest@nsnews.com

Argyle was awarded hosting duties for the 2013 AAA provincialchampionshipsbefore the season began, guaranteeing them a spot in the tournament regardless of how they performed during the regular season and playoffs. So without the pressure or motivation of elimination hanging over them, how did the Pipers do? Pretty great, actually.

The Shootout, now in its second year, featured 10 players teeing off together on the nine-hole Gleneagles Golf Course with one player eliminated after each hole either by picking up the high score or, to break ties, losing a closest-to-the-pin competition from a pre-determined location.

Two North Vancouver stars also teed it up at Gleneagles, falling just a little short of the championship finale. Eugene Wong was knocked out on the seventh hole, losing a puttoff that came after all four remaining golfers tied on the hole. Bryn Parry made his exit one hole later, losing a chip-off on Hole 8 that broke a three-way tie.

The Shootout is a joint venture between the District of West Vancouver, Golf West Vancouver and the Vancouver Golf Tour. Taylor picked up $1,000 for his victory.

“It’s an atmosphere that the (players) don’t get anywhere else,” said Rath. “You’ve got the top players from across the province and it’s definitely something that the players are proud of being at, it’s something that the players remember for the rest of their lives.”

“Anything can happen — and I’ve seen a lot of things happen,” he said. “It’s not based on past performance, it’s not based on how you did in the league, it’s not based on who has stronger players on paper. It’s based on who scores the most goals in that game and who has things go their way.”

The path for Handsworth was very different. Normally a provincial powerhouse, the Royals rolled over early in the season en route to winning just one of their six league games.

Actually, it was their ankles that were doing the rolling. More than half of their starting lineup went down with sprains, strains or worse in the season’s first few weeks. It got so bad that the Royals cancelled a trip to Kelowna for a tournament.

“We couldn’t go, the team was too beat up,” said Anne Farnan, co-coach of the team Financing up to 72 months Leasing Up to $10,000 in Cash Savings along with Carrie van der Linden. “We knew we had a Guaranteed good team (but) the players that were injured were all our top players.”

Stem Cell Activator

Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of selfrepair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. !Women looking for anti-aging help! We all want to slow down aging. After using a bottle of Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 my skin seemed smoother and brighter. My hair looked healthier. It seems to have a cleansing effect. I’m delighted.

100% TRUTHFUL TESTIMONIALS

Bell uses the power of nature to help put life back into your lifestyle

Here’s a look at how the opening round pools shape up, with a few thoughts from Darren Rath, head coach of the host Argyle Pipers.

Pool A: Terry Fox, McMath, Oak Bay, Clayton Heights.

Games Thursday 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. and Friday 11 a.m.

Terry Fox looks to be the top seed in this tough pool — they won the ultra-competitive Fraser Valley playoffs. “They’ll be a very good team,” said Rath. “Coquitlam has a very strong soccer community.”

McMath should challenge as well — they won the Vancouver/Richmond zone.

“I would expect them to be a team to watch,” said Rath.

Oak Bay, another traditionally strong team, lost in a shootout in the Vancouver Island championships. Surrey’s Clayton Heights grabbed the sixth spot out of the Fraser Valley playoffs.

Pool B: Kelowna, Handsworth, Panorama Ridge, Kitsilano. Games Thursday 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. and Friday 11 a.m.

This could be the group of death. Kelowna comes in as the No. 1 team from the power-packed Okanagan zone. “Kelowna is traditionally a very strong, physical team,” said Rath. “I’m familiar with some of the players on their team and they’ve got some very talented players.”

Handsworth was uncharacteristically weak during the regular season due to injuries but everyone is back and healthy now and the Royals crushed on their way through the playoffs. They could be a snoozing giant that’s about to awake. “Handsworth is a strong team, they’ve got some strong players,” said Rath. “I know they had a tough start, I know they had some injuries at the beginning of the season but as they got healthy they got stronger and they started winning. They worked their way all the way in and I think they’re going to be a strong team in the tournament.”

Surrey’s Panorama Ridge has a pretty good pedigree as well — they won the whole thing last year. “They’ve got some very talented players on their team that can make a difference in the game and

drastically impact the game,” said Rath. Rounding out the pool is Kitsilano, a team that won the Vancouver league but stumbled in the playoffs, eventually earning a backdoor qualifier. They’ll be no pushovers.

Pool C: Argyle, South Delta, Winston Churchill, Mount Baker. Games Thursday 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m.

Argyle headlines this pool, putting together an impressive undefeated run through the North Shore league and playoffs despite having an automatic berth in provincials locked up all season due to their hosting duties. The Pipers will be looking to get back into the medals after finishing ninth last season.

They won it all in 2011 after earning silver in 2010.

Pushing the Pipers will be South Delta, runners up out of the Fraser Valley league.

“South delta is traditionally one of the top three or four teams in the Fraser Valley,” said Rath. “They’ve traditionally been at the tournament each year, traditionally in the top eight. They’re going to be a challenging game for sure.”

Winston Churchill finished fourth in the Vancouver league but went on a strong run through the Vancouver/ Richmond playoffs to earn the zone’s No. 2 seed.

Cranbrook’s Mount Baker, the Kootenay champs, round out the group.

Pool D: Stelly’s, Fleetwood Park, Dr. Charles Best, Belmont. Games Thursday 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m.

Stelly’s from Saanich won the Island championships for the first time this year.

“They’re a good team,” said Rath. “They’ll be tough.”

Fleetwood Park has a young team, said Rath, but they still battled well in the Fraser Valley playoffs, finishing third.

Charles Best finished fifth in the Valley playoffs while Victoria’s Belmont earned the No. 3 spot out of the Island playoffs following a win at the Lower Island championships.

The tournament heats up with semifinals on Friday at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m and then comes to a boil Saturday with the bronze medal game at 11:30 a.m. and the championship final at noon.

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

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

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

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

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

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

"How lovely!"

Oliva, Dona Marie February 1940 to May 2013

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BOND, Brenda July 11, 1944 - May 13, 2013

Brenda passed away peacefully at home on May 13th, after a brave and courageous battle with scleroderma and kidney disease. She left her family and friends to start another life with the Lord and her Saviour.

Brenda leaves behind husband Phillip, of the past 45 years, and their two children, Claire and Matthew. Brenda was a well known member of the community, and a respected member of the church. Her full life was devoted to the family care and needs, together with helping others in need. Her love of children, animals, and giving help to those in need were well known by all who entered her life. Her devotion to both the family and to God, gave her life meaning and a true purpose.

Brenda gave herself to helping others, and now it is time for her to rest in peace with the Lord.

We will all miss you, but cherish the lifelong memories, and always believe in our future life together. A memorial service will take place at Hollyburn Funeral Home, 1807 Marine Drive, West Vancouver, BC on May 31st at 11:00 a.m. Donations in lieu of flowers to either the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation or St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation, in memory of Brenda will be greatly appreciated by the family.

HALLAM - Nancy Rose

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

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

She worked as a Licensed

Practical Nurse in Sackville and North Vancouver and

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

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

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

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

PATTERSON James Bernard Sept. 24, 1932 - May 18, 2013 It is with great sorrow that we announce that Jim passed away on May 18, 2013 at Lions Gate Hospital with his family by his side, following a brief but valiant battle against cancer. Jim is survived by his loving wife, DesNeiges Cosgrove, son Kevin (Jane), daughter Karen (Randy), and his three grandchildren Sarah, Thomas and Emma. Jim was predeceased by his ex-wife Joan and his sister Joan MacDonald of Victoria.

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

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

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

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

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

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

WELLS, Laura May (nee Coles) Sep 12, 1949 - May 23, 2013 Laura spent her childhood in West Vancouver climbing trees and collecting pets. As a young woman she travelled to Europe alone and this courage and adventurous spirit became a focus of her life. On a trip to Newfoundland she met her husband Walwyn. She nursed at St. John’s General and did commercial fishing in Bona Vista Bay eventually settling in North Van. As a local rehab nurse and a horticultural therapist, her gentle caring for people and the environment flourished. Whether it was rescuing salamanders, encouraging us to paint fish over drainage grates or organizing habitat restoration in her Blueridge neighbourhood, Laura quietly led the way singing and dancing until the end. Laura leaves behind Walwyn, children Zoe and Stephen, step son Wade, siblings Heather (Don), Barbara (Fred), John (Beverly), Dan (Steve), Peter (Karyn), Nona (Barry), a large extended family and many dear friends. Her memorial service is at Mt. Seymour United Church on June 8 at 3 pm. In honour of Laura plant a tree or donate to a charity of your choice.

Legitimate employers do not ask for money as part of the application process; do not send money; do not give any credit card information; or call a 900 number in order to respond to an employment ad.

Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment.

If you have responded to an ad which you believe to be misleading please call the Better Business Bureau at 604-682-2711, Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm or email inquiries@bbbvan.org and they will investigate.
