NS Rescue airlifts injured hiker Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com

A West Vancouver man is recovering after a nasty fall requiring a helicopter rescue from deep in the North Shore backcountry.

Wheely lucky

THE driver of this Mitsubishi SUV escaped without serious injury Saturday after his westbound vehicle was struck by a wheel that came off an eastbound vehicle on Highway 1 near Mountain Highway and bounced over the median. Scan for video.

The 54-year-old solo climber was nearing the peak of the North Needle in Lynn Headwaters Regional Park around 2 p.m. Sunday when he lost his grip on the rocks and roots and fell.

“He was climbing near the summit and fell back and injured himself with a 20metre tumble,” said Doug Pope, rescue manager with North Shore Rescue. “He was alone. That was one of the concerns. That’s quite a technical area. He was off-trail.

It really was a mountaineering exercise he was doing. . . .

Luckily he was conscious and able to call for his own rescue, but you could imagine what would happen if he was by See Hike page 3

German design for support ships Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A decision this week by the federal government in choosing a design for its joint support ships means the $2.6 billion project is on track to be built in North Vancouver.

Brian Carter, president of Seaspan’s Vancouver Shipyards, said the announcement Sunday means, “We’re on track for that program. We’re right where we need to be.”

Ottawa was looking at two possible designs for the joint supply ships — the largest of the non-combat vessels that will be built in B.C. — including a new design from BMT Fleet Technology and an existing design by ThyssenKrupp Marine

Using existing design will save 15%; Seaspan project ‘on track’

Systems Canada.

The government announced it has chosen the existing design from ThyssenKrupp — used to build ships for the German navy — as the best design option. Cost was a major factor in the decision.

“The potential for variation in building costs is higher with a new design and lower with a design that is known and has been built before,” the government noted in a press statement June 2.

A new design was expected to cost about 15 per cent more

than going with an existing design, the government stated.

The federal government has budgeted the construction costs of the two navy supply ships on the West Coast at $2.6 billion.

Earlier this year, the government’s parliamentary budget officer questioned that figure, warning the project costs could grow to more than $4 billion.

It’ll be a while before Vancouver Shipyards starts cutting steel on the first massive joint support ship, which will be built to supply the Canadian navy with fuel, ammunition, spare parts, food and water on extended missions.

The ships will be able to carry two helicopters and containerized payloads, like disaster relief supplies or portable See Reno page 5

Facebook rants land NV man in court

Judge orders peace bond conditions for 1 year Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A North Vancouver man arrested last year after writing several angry rants on Facebook threatening to repeat the violence of a Colorado movie theatre shooting has escaped without a criminal record.

Ryan Lewis, 34, was ordered to abide by conditions of a one-year peace bond Tuesday by a North Vancouver provincial court judge.

As long as Lewis doesn’t break those conditions, he won’t have a criminal record, despite what Judge Doug Moss described as Lewis’s “disgusting

messages” and his “bizarre, threatening and angry conduct.”

On July 23 last year, Lewis alarmed several acquaintances when he wrote on his Facebook page, “We need more radical terrorists in the world. There’s an infestation of ignorance in North America which can only be treated with a little murder.”

A day later, Lewis wrote another post on his Facebook page, saying: “That Colorado shit is gonna happen here soon.”

Police believed Lewis was referring to the July 20, 2012 Colorado shooting that left a dozen people dead after a man opened fire in a movie theatre during a screening of the Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises.

Lewis was arrested for threatening by North Vancouver RCMP a week later as he left his apartment building in the 500-block of Lonsdale Avenue.

But in the year since Lewis’s arrest, authorities

have come to the conclusion he was just “venting,” with no intention of carrying out his threats.

Crown counsel Kristin Bryson said psychiatrists determined Lewis has no mental health problems.

Lewis seems to have just been frustrated with his life and with the world and was experiencing chronic physical pain due to health problems when he wrote the posts, Bryson said outside the court. She added he has complied with all his bail conditions and has no criminal record.

Lewis’s defence lawyer Glen Paruk told the judge his client never intended to carry out his threats. He added Lewis has “learned an important lesson” and will not repeat his behaviour.

For the next year, Lewis must obey conditions that include continuing to live with his mother, attending anger management counselling, not accessing the Internet, not drinking, and not possessing either real or fake weapons.

Lewis first came to police attention on July 25 last year, when the North Vancouver RCMP

received an anonymous CrimeStoppers tip saying Lewis’s Facebook page should be checked.

The anonymous source told police “Lewis is quite disturbed and has threatened many times to kill and hatch plans to harm many in Vancouver,” according to information filed in a police search warrant application.

The alarm was raised again a week later, when the Vancouver Police Department forwarded a message to the North Vancouver detachment that had been sent to them by one of Lewis’s Facebook friends in the United Kingdom.

That message contained detailed, profanityridden and disturbing messages that the friend said Lewis had posted.

Just days after the Colorado shooting, on July 25, Lewis wrote a rant about how Vancouver is filled with “blind idiots” and “bleeding heart morons” who ignore the problems of the city.

“You’ll be surprised when I go through with my plan, Vancouver,” he wrote.

Federal funding hard to find

Enbridge decision applauded

Tsleil-Waututh expects B.C. will nix Kinder Morgan expansion too Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

NORTH Vancouver’s Tsleil-Waututh Nation is applauding an announcement by the province that it cannot support Enbridge’s Northern Gateway oil pipeline project.

On Friday, the province told the federal government it couldn’t support the northern pipeline as currently presented because the company hasn’t shown it would be able to address environmental concerns.

In a press statement, Tsleil-Waututh Chief Maureen Thomas commended B.C. Premier Christy Clark for “making the right decision.”

“It reflects to us the government is hearing the . . . people’s voice in B.C. and their concerns over the health and safety of the environment,” said Gabriel George, Tsleil-Waututh spokesman

on pipeline issues.

Thomas added, “We feel certain that when the province applies their five criteria to Kinder Morgan’s proposal, that they will find that it also fails to meet those basic standards.”

George said the band doesn’t think that saying no to the northern pipeline necessarily means the province will be more likely to say yes to the southern Kinder Morgan route.

The Enbridge announcement “shows there’s a process,” said George. “I feel Kinder Morgan won’t meet those criteria.”

British Columbia does not have final say on the pipeline projects. That rests with the federal government.

The Tsleil-Waututh are adamantly opposed to a plan that would see Kinder Morgan triple the transport of crude oil for export through its Westridge terminal — directly opposite TsleilWaututh land on Burrard Inlet.

The province has not indicated its stance on the Kinder Morgan plan. During the recent election, the Liberals said it would be premature to judge the project before seeing a detailed proposal. NDP leader Adrian Dix was widely considered to have lost votes in some parts of the province when he came out against the Kinder Morgan plan.

Finances — or the lack of them — from the federal government for major infrastructure projects was the big takeaway from the 2013 meeting of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, according to members of both North Vancouver councils.

The North Shore’s three local governments, along with Metro Vancouver, are being tasked by the federal government with building a new wastewater treatment plant capable of processing out solids and organic matter from effluent by 2020. But that isn’t cheap.

“We’re going to need funding because federal government sets the standard for wastewater effluent, and we have to meet it.

We’re looking at a $400-million bill here on the North Shore for our wastewater treatment plant,” said City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto.

“They’ve said they will be a partner on it, but to what degree, we don’t know.”

Federal ministers who spoke at the FCM conference assured attendees there would be money for infrastructure, but the amount is woefully short, Mussatto said.

“Over the next 10 years, they’ve got $53 billion set aside.

We could probably use $530 billion — 10 times that amount in Canada because of the aging infrastructure,” Mussatto said.

Making matters worse, every local government in Canada will be competing for the limited funds, though Mussatto said local staff are doing their homework now so they can be ready when federal grant applications are open.

Barring any new influx of money, Mussatto suggested the federal government may have to reprioritize which projects get funding.

“Some may argue that treating our wastewater is a higher priority than building a rec centre,” he said.

Hike in pairs for safety: NSR From page 1 himself and unconscious and unable to call for help.”

B.C. Ambulance Service forwarded his distress call through to North Shore Rescue, which prompted a quick helicopter search of the area. After spotting the injured man, NSR volunteers returned with long-line helicopter rescue equipment and harnessed the man so he could be airlifted back to the closest North Shore Rescue base.

“He had severe cuts and bruises and was complaining that he strained his back. He was taken into custody by the ambulance service to be taken to hospital for assessment,” Pope said.

The man is an experienced climber and he was well equipped for the highly technical conditions on the snow-covered peak, Pope said. “But he was attempting that solo, which isn’t really advised.” Pope added. “It’s best to hike in pairs and to leave information about where you’re going with a family member.”

PROPOSED OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT:

The proposed amendment to the Official Community Plan would: - Refine, clarify and update Policy BF-C 4.7 to better reflect the District’s goal to have the Ambleside waterfront function as a park that includes accessory uses to support the vitality of the park and improve opportunities for year-round use and enjoyment, such as arts and culture facilities, outdoor performances, festivals, food and drink, and water-related activities. Language would be added recognizing the heritage values of the Ferry Building and the Navvy Jack House, the importance of the Sailing Club, an enhanced shoreline to protect against sea level rise, and the need to keep the character and scale of new structures consistent with the waterfront landscape; and - Update Policy P7 to emphasize the District’s commitment to its ongoing policy of acquiring all of the privately held lots on the Argyle Avenue waterfront.

PROPOSED ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT:

The proposed amendment to the Zoning Bylaw would: - Create a new CU5 Zone (Ambleside Waterfront Community Use Zone 5); - Rezone certain lands (as shown on the map above) from RD1 (Duplex Dwelling Zone 1), C2 (Commercial Zone 2), and RS5 (Single Family Dwelling Zone 5) to the new CU5 (Ambleside Waterfront Community Use Zone 5); - Create a new definition for park accessory uses that provides opportunities for year-round use and enjoyment of the park such as arts and culture facilities (specifically those that are already present within the waterfront area), festivals, a restaurant, mobile food vendors, and water-related activities.

Changes from the previous bylaw include: deletion of food and beverage concessions; deletion of child care; deletion of community and recreation buildings; deletion of liquor primary premises; reduced size of restaurant (bistro) to 3,000 square feet; and limits arts and culture facilities to four existing buildings.

Kinder Morgan want to triple oil storage From page 3

Last week, the Tsleil-Waututh indicated band leaders were disturbed by details in the company’s project description recently filed with the National Energy Board that described a tripling of oil storage tank capacity in Burnaby and a doubling of the actual number of oil tanks.

“The Nation has grave concerns about such a significant amount of oil being stored in close proximity to Burrard Inlet,” said George.

George said the band isn’t just concerned about the prospect of a catastrophic spill, but also about the slow leak of oil from the tanks

into the environment. The band pointed to an incident in 2012 in Abbotsford when Kinder Morgan spilled 90,000 litres of oil from its Sumas tank farm into a containment area there.

A later report revealed company operators ignored warning alarms for three and a half hours. According to news reports, the spill was only confirmed after Abbotsford police started getting reports of strong “gas” odours from neighbouring residents.

George said the Tsleil-Waututh will be hosting a multi-faith “sacred fire” event in Cates Park on June 21, to celebrate their connection to the land.

“It’s going to be a very significant impact on the local taxpayers and without federal dollars, it’s unsustainable,” he said.

“We need the province and the feds to come forward with a one-third, one-third, one-third formula similar to Victoria’s (wastewater treatment plant.)”

Other hot issues discussed among delegates from around Canada included how local governments are going to have to respond to the effects of climate change beyond rising sea levels, how to dispose of garbage and recycling efficiently, and cellphone towers.

Members of Surrey and Coquitlam’s city councils have drawn fire for staying in posh downtown hotels for the threeday conference and passing the bill to taxpayers. However North Vancouver council members and staff who attended not only stayed at home, but also took transit to and from the long days of meetings and mingling, Mussatto said.

headquarters, according to the government. The ships will also be double-hulled, to meet current environmental standards.

The joint support ships “will be the largest ships built in western Canada ever,” said Carter.

The next phase in the project will be detailed production design and planning, expected to take about a year and a half, he said.

Ottawa will also have to decide which ship it wants to build first — a joint supply ship or a polar icebreaker. Both are complicated, technical projects that will take about a year to complete. The federal government is expected to make that decision by late summer or early fall.

Carter said work on the shipyard’s modernization project — being undertaken to get ready for the large vessel construction — is about 25 per cent complete.

The shipyard’s design team is currently working on the detailed design for the first vessel that will be built as part of Ottawa’s national shipbuilding strategy — an offshore fisheries science vessel. Construction on that ship is expected to start in April of next year.

Bequeathing life

L

IFE after death is a concept usually left to those with religious beliefs and Hollywood script writers.

In any event, once we’ve done with our bodies they are usually burned or buried by those we leave behind.

In some instances, that’s a waste.

Imagine a classic car towed to the wreckers. It’s body and engine may no longer be fashionable but, before it is thrown in the crusher, a savvy mechanic will recognize value in some bits and pieces that other classic collectors may need.

If you can think dispassionately about your body, it’s easy to understand that others may have need of your organs if you are not going to be using them.

A record-setting 306 organs were transplanted in B.C. in 2012. That number, according to BC Transplant, included 16 hearts, 25 lungs, 65 livers

(seven from living donors) and 194 kidneys (83 from living donors).

Thewait-listtimeforalungtransplant has dropped from almost 11 months to three and a half months. The average wait time for a kidney has also improved — but it is still almost four years.

Eighteen British Columbians died in 2012 awaiting life-saving organs while approximately 480 people await a lifesaving transplant.

BC Transplant says 85 per cent of British Columbians agree with organ donation, yet only 18 per cent have registered their choice with the organization.

If you read our Sunday story, ‘Perfect’ Is a Good Word, and were touched by what the Westerlund family has endured, if you have always ‘meant’ to be a donor but put it off, visit transplant.bc.ca and register. You may be saving a life.

Share the road, rebuild community

Dear Editor: I am writing to applaud Chris Kautzky’s insightful letter Roads Are for All, Including Longboarders, North Shore News, May 15.

The experience of longboarders, cyclists and pedestrians who face bullying by automobile drivers is too frequent a reality on the North Shore.

Last week our son had an incident while longboarding in North Vancouver whereby a driver of a vehicle in one of the more reactive neighbourhoods went out of his way to follow our son, cut off his path by slamming on his brakes and then threatened his intent to hit our son with his vehicle and then sue him for damages.

Vehicle ownership and “driving everywhere” has become a disturbing hallmark of post-war North American culture that has instilled a deep sense of entitlement at best and homicidal rage at worst for many who sit behind the wheel. Not to mention the environmental and economic damage that is an undisputable reality for our planet.

For many, using mass transit is seen as being for children too young to drive, seniors who have lost the privilege of a driving licence or for those too poor to own car.

Riding a bicycle is seen by many as a way for children and youth to get around or a recreational pursuit subservient to and posing a nuisance to

the automobile.

Longboarding is very often viewed as aberrant behaviour and in a suburban neighbourhood immediately elicits suspicion and disdain.

The larger glaring issue to me is the isolation of individuals and lack of community in our automobile-obsessed culture.

The “longboarding menace” on the North Shore is your child, your grandchild, your friend’s child, your neighbour, your student, your fellow human being and citizen.

Share the road and you do more than save lives, you start to rebuild a fragmented community.

Densifying Lynn Valley will not ‘improve’ it Dear Editor: As a current resident of Lynn Valley I must voice my complete dissent with any proposal for increasing the density in the town centre by adding highrise developments.

Lynn Valley has always been a special community for families. It is an area of the district with a distinct and colourful history and further densification will not be an improvement — especially if that densification includes highrises.

With access and egress limited to three narrow corridors, Mountain Highway, Lynn Valley Road

CONTACT US

and Dempsey Road, any increase in density will place an unprecedented burden on these already overburdened streets.

Lynn Valley is the gateway to all the natural beauty that the north-east corner of our community holds, including Lynn Canyon and the Lynn Headwaters Park. These, and other attractions have already created an excess of traffic on Lynn Valley streets that the local residents have been willing to accept in order that we can share the beauty and majesty of the North Shore mountains with everyone not fortunate enough to live here.

Major highrise developments will not enhance this area.

The district has already permitted highrise developments in the lower end of Lynn Creek at Lynnmour,anareathatwasinneedofimprovement.

Not so with Lynn Valley. Please, your worship and council, consider carefully, and respect the wishes of the people who live in this community and do not permit further densification in Lynn Valley just to please large property developers.

Honking at learners no help Dear Editor: Please don’t honk at student drivers.

The first thing student drivers do when they get honked at, is completely lose any concentration they had about the driving task and look in their mirrors, trying to figure out who is honking.

Learners can not improve their driving by thinking about driving; they must practise it, and if they’re going to learn anything they must practise it in traffic, not at 7 a.m. on Sunday when there are no cars anywhere.

Learners in marked driving school cars are accompanied by trained instructors, who are doing their best to minimize disruptions to people who are trying to go about their day. They are well aware of any extra time going by and are encouraging the student to act accordingly.

However, due to a variety of reasons — one of which is the fact that if someone has never done something before, they aren’t going to be a pro at it — things don’t always turn out as proficiently as we would like. Honking at student drivers will only add to the time it takes them to get around the corner or out of your way, so please use some patience.

Planned CapU cuts show degree priorities

“The creation of Capilano University will mean thousands of students throughout the Howe Sound corridor will have access to degree-granting programs and be able to reach their educational goals close to home.”

Gordon Campbell 25 April, 2008

DID then-premier Gordon Campbell mean all Howe Sound students with educational goals, or only degree-bound students?

Because unless Capilano University’s Board of Governors has a change of heart when it meets with faculty on June 11, the Access to Work (ATW) program at the School of Access and Academic Preparation will lose $1.3 million due to the institution’s 2013-14 budgetary shortfall.

If programs are cut back or eliminated, applicants who have overcome many barriers to reach their post-secondary enrolment goals will face new hurdles as they strive toward gainful employment.

Campbell and Murray Coell, then advanced education minister, were upbeat in 2008 as they announced that Capilano College would be raised to university status.

Ostensibly recognizing the changes would come with additional costs, their news release noted that since the

Just Asking

Elizabeth James Liberals were first elected in 2001, they had “increased operating funds for Capilano by $5.8 million and invested $3.4 million in capital projects.”

Unfortunately, as confirmed by public affairs manager Jane MacCarthy, the funding “was the sum total of annual operating fund increases at Capilano U since 2001.”

In fact, the university’s online 2013/14 budget Facts and Figures reveal Capilano’s operating grant of $6,934 per student is “well below the system average of $10,071.”

It doesn’t take long for things to fall apart, does it?

The writing being most clearly written on the wall, the release contained three references to the institution’s ongoing focus on degree programs and, in particular, on specialized studies in “tourism and film.”

One of the four Howe Sound Liberal MLAs in

high-school programs?

Why would students embark on that 12-year educational journey if universities plan to put them off the schooling-bus before they reach their destination?

Economically speaking, students with barriers to learning who receive optimum skills training are enabled to go at least part way to supporting themselves. What a boost to their self-esteem.

During our May 17 discussion of a different topic for a future column, Dr. Michael Markwick, instructor and convenor of CapU’s Communications Degree Program, used much stronger words to describe his concerns: “The cuts to Capilano University, a direct consequence of the government placing our university at the bottom of the list for funding, have seriously compromised the life prospects of these (individuals). We seem

to be doing everything we can . . . to close off their access to education.”

The same day, parent advocate Dawn Steele accompanied Moscrip to an on-air interview with CKNW host Bill Good. She reminded listeners that Clark had “promised to invest in jobs and skills training and in transition planning to help achieve that.

“Not only has there been no progress on those plans, things are getting worse,” she said.

“Getting worse” in a country like Canada will be unwelcome news to the editor who penned Children With Disabilities — Invisible no More in the June 1 issue of the well-respected medical journal, The Lancet.

After discussing the highlights of a May 30 UNICEF report, the State of the World’s Children: 2013,

Expanding that theme on May 30, Moscrip said that although ATW has always focused on work experience and employment for students with learning difficulties, “in recent years, students are asking for help to ladder into regular courses at CapU. “In 2013, 25 per cent of ATW students have applied for, and been accepted into other departments on campus.”

No mean achievement for both students and faculty, these are goals Moscrip says the university’s administration has encouraged. So what happened?

Did the province reinforce its expectation that CapU should focus on its “core” degree programs?

Did its Feb. 2013 accreditation by the U.S.based Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities trigger a refresh of the university’s priorities?

This discussion begs so many important questions: What is more beneficial — to have special needs adults dependent on caregivers and social programs, or to fund programs that encourage their employment goals?

Put another way: if taxpayers are reluctant to support these programs — I don’t believe that — why did we urge government to ensure equal access for all students in elementary and

attendance at the 2008 announcement was then West Vancouver-Sea to Sky MLA Joan McIntyre who, until April, was a member of Premier Christy Clark’s Families First cabinet committee.

Although McIntyre did not seek re-election, it is pertinent to ask whether the premier’s families agenda includes the special needs students who had hoped to enrol in the ATW program.

Last week, developmental psychologist and ATW faculty member Kathy Moscrip said she fears the program is “falling through the cracks.”

“After the news first broke about the university’s need to balance its 2013-14 budget most of the discussion has centred on cuts to other programs,” she observed.

“Although cutbacks in any program are of concern, they would be especially severe for students with learning disabilities.”

Moscrip doesn’t stand alone.

In a May 2 letter to the board, instructors in the Access to Work Experience department expressed their concern that program cuts had been “selected by a few administrators without (the promised) input from faculty members.”

The letter went on to say the 21-week AWE program “offers skills and safety training certification, workplace literacy,

Assessments lower port’s tax payments

New improvements now depreciated to zero value in 10 years Christine Lyon clyon@nsnews.com

ANYONE banking on long-term municipal tax revenues from port expansion projects may want to stop and read the fine print.

A new report released by the City of North Vancouver’s finance department reveals that Port Metro Vancouver has almost halved its payments to the city on unleased port lands over the last decade. Also, any new improvements on leased lands will be depreciated and removed from the tax base in 10 years.

The staff report reveals the “tremendous tax advantage” port industries receive, Coun.

Pam Bookham said at the May 27 city council meeting.

“The community is absorbing a lot of negative impacts,” she said, citing tree clearing and traffic jams resulting from the Low Level Road expansion project, “and the idea that there was some financial benefit that was going to come to the community . . . when it’s put to the test, assuming that this information is accurate, it’s pretty paltry and it’s going to be a very shortlived bump in our tax revenues from the port industries.”

According to the staff report, residual or unleased lands owned by PMV are not subject to provincial tax rules, but are instead required by federal law to make a “payment in lieu of taxes,” or PILT. Two recent Supreme Court of

Canada decisions, however, have directed the government to follow existing provincial tax regimes, unless extraordinary circumstances are found. This has caused PMV to work with BC Assessment to examine land and improvement values on residual port lands and, in some cases, BC Assessment has significantly reduced its assessment of these values, the staff report states.

It says that from 2003 to 2012 the port reduced its PILT payments to the city by 46 per cent from $325,710 to $176,677.

When it comes to leased lands, the provincial Ports Taxation Act controls both the assessed values and the tax rates for port tenants. In the city, this legislation applies to Neptune Terminals, Cargill, James Richardson, Seaboard Shipping and Lynn Term East (Western Stevedoring).

Tax values are capped for existing leased lands and improvements. For new improvements on leased lands, however, values are set by a provincial formula and written off over 10 years.

The city staff report states improvements will be depreciated on a “very aggressive schedule” and therefore removed from the municipal tax base after 10 years — far shorter than their probable useful life.

This rapid depreciation is a “galling” revelation for Coun. Rod Clark.

“Ten years later we get nothing extra in the way of taxes,” he said. “That, to me, is not only thumbing your nose at the community, but it’s not paying your fair share.”

The 10-year depreciation term was also news to Coun. Don Bell.

“It’s frustrating,” Bell said. “When the port comes forward and talks about their various projects, they outline the benefits to the community, they do so in terms of employment opportunities and tax revenue.”

Port acts without regard: Bookham

Onlookers foil purse snatcher A purse-snatching went awry Thursday, when a would-be thief stole a purse from a woman at a bus stop near Lonsdale Avenue and 15th Street but was confronted by witnesses and the victim herself.

The alleged robber, described as a balding man with curly blond hair wearing a black leather jacket with light coloured stripes on the sleeves, took the purse at 12:30 p.m. and ran across the street.

But when chased and cornered by witnesses and the victim, he dropped the purse and ran towards Chesterfield Avenue, where police, responding to a 9-1-1 call from a witness, caught the suspect.

The victim left the scene before police had a chance to speak with her.

“We were told by witnesses that the victim has her purse back and wasn’t injured in the robbery,” Cpl. Doug Trousdell said in a media release. “But we would like to follow up with her to make sure that she’s alright and to get more information about the incident.”

The victim or any witnesses are being asked to contact Cpl. Gary Goller of the North Vancouver RCMP at 604985-1311.

Bell said planned port expansions mean more equipment, but will not necessarily result in significant job creation.

“So we don’t get the employment, and now it sounds like we’re not going to get the long-term benefit of the increased development at the port, the expansion of the port, in terms of tax revenue,” he said.

At the meeting, council unanimously supported a motion put forward by Coun. Clark to write to the PMV board, asking the port to keep hydro servicing for its tenants on Port Metro Vancouver land, eliminating the need for a 69-kilovolt power line down St. David’s Avenue.

The port has already indicated it plans to proceed with the St. David’s power lines, though, having said it would cost $10 million to run the lines from the west along port property.

“It’s not really a question of not having the money, it’s a question of them not being wiling to spend it and really not listening to the community,” said Clark.

“The port doesn’t recognize us as a licensing agency, they don’t respect our noise control bylaws, they don’t do a lot of things. They are the big kahuna and they throw their weight around accordingly and as far as I’m concerned it’s not acceptable,” he added.

Earlier in the evening, council deferred making a decision on a $10,000 budget to cover the 2013 costs associated with the Low Level Road Community Liaison Committee in order to propose that the port help fund the committee.

Coun. Bookham said she did not support spending $10,000 on an “exercise in futility.”

“Port Metro Vancouver has made it very clear, repeatedly, that they will do what they will do without regard for the impact on our community,” she said.

Small dreams count too From page 7

the editorial concluded, “When valued equally, included in their environments, allowed to cultivate strengths, and given the opportunity to overcome limitations, children with disabilities thrive — and so too do their families, communities and countries.”

All that’s required here is for our yet-to-be-elected premier to fund the CapU programs into whose care her predecessor placed the educational dreams – small and large – of so many students in the Howe Sound corridor. rimco@shaw.ca

Regular readers of my column know that I believe strongly in sustainable building practices and that I try to put forward ecologically conscious ideas that homeowners can use to decrease their global footprint. As responsible First World citizens I feel it’s our duty to do everything we can to shape our future for the better.

In coming months I hope to speak to these issues in a very unique way.

This summer myself and three teammates are undertaking a major expedition to the Canadian high arctic to bring awareness to climate change. Our hope is to traverse the Northwest Passage solely under human power in a single season to speak to the changes that are transforming the Arctic and the world.

We’ll be undertaking our expedition not in an icebreaker but in a tiny fibreglass rowboat, traversing through the infamous ice-choked Northwest Passage that once represented the impenetrable crux for explorers looking for a western passage through the Americas to the Orient.

Our expedition is an absurd proposition when looked at historically but climate change has lifted the veil of impossibility. Not long ago the Northwest Passage was near impossible to traverse in a steel-hulled ice-breaker. Today

THE small space garden is becoming more common these days as urban density increases, houses get larger and property sizes shrink.

Think coach house and townhouse or the skinny 33-foot lot found commonly in our region. Even large lots stuffed full of monster home leave little room for garden. Small gardens require a thoughtful design that can accommodate sufficient outdoor living space, some privacy and enough planting space for veggies, colour and beauty.

If you plan to design and build your own small space garden, start by choosing the seating area in a location that is accessible with a sense of place within the context of the space. Most people choose seating areas close to the house for ease of access but locating the seating area away from the house provides the opportunity to “go out into the garden” instead of stepping out the door directly onto the patio.

Seating areas should be made as large as possible within the size limitations of a small space garden. A common mistake people make when determining the seating area size is to make the space

Look for broods of ducklings in wetlands

Wild About Birds Al Grass

MAY and early June are exciting times for bird watchers, with waves of migrating birds moving through, or settling down to breed here.

These neo-tropical migrants include warblers, vireos, flycatchers, swallows, the western tanager and the black-headed grosbeak. They’re called neo-tropical because they winter in the tropics of the New World, from Mexico to South America. Two local examples are the purple martin which winters in South America (Brazil) and the tiny rufous hummingbird which spends its winters in Mexico.

Most small birds migrate at night when presumably it’s safer. Many birds do most of their singing in the early morning – it’s called the dawn chorus. They sing as if to greet the morning sun, often before the sun has risen. It is thought that sound carries better in the cooler, still morning air.

Warblers have been called

the “butterflies” of the bird world — they’re colourful and flit about in pursuit of insects.

The North Shore is host to a nice variety of these wonderful birds including yellow-rumped, Wilson’s, Townsend’s, blackthroated grey and the common yellowthroat. Wilson’s, a bright yellow little bird who sports a black cap, is commonly seen in North Shore gardens, and at Maplewood Conservation Area.

Its “cha, cha, cha,” voice is very distinctive, making it an easy song to remember.

June is a month for rearing young. Broods of ducklings — mallard, wood ducks, mergansers and Canada geese can be spotted in Maplewood’s wetlands. Eagle and osprey young are growing up quickly and keep their parents busy gathering food, like fish.

In shallow waters, along the shores of Burrard Inlet, great blue herons patiently stalk for fish. A good healthy population of fish is key to the survival of herons, kingfishers, ospreys, eagles, cormorants and mergansers (fish eating ducks).

The glaucous-winged gull is our common local species, but watch for ring-billed, California, and Caspian tern.

Terns do something called plunged-diving, ie. diving head long into the water with a great splash from high above. It’s not a behaviour associated with gulls — helpful in identification.

Cormorants flying by will either be double-crested or pelagic. The double-crested has an orange-coloured throat (gular) whereas a good field

A male wood duck displays its striking plumage at Maplewood Conservation Area. mark for the pelagic is its white flank patches. A good place to watch for terns, cormorants, ospreys and eagles, is Maplewood’s Osprey Point.

And maybe you’ll spot a seal or an otter too just offshore.

Always check the sky above for bird activity, for there’s a lot going on up there. Five swallow species are regularly seen on the North Shore and six when you add in the purple martin. The purple martin nest box program at Maplewood Conservation Area is one of BC’s great conservation stories.

Listen for its call which reminds me of the crackling of a high

tension power line on a chilly winter day.

Swifts may also be seen swooping about with the swallows — two species, Vaux and black occur on the North Shore. They can be mistaken for swallows, but swifts have more “sickle-shaped” wings.

It is often said that when swifts gather in numbers on high, it signals the approach of stormy weather. Birds nest soup popular in Asian cuisines are made from the nest of an Asian swift. The bird’s saliva, which holds the nest together, gives body to the soup. Other birds to be looked for high above

are circling eagles, hawks and vultures — the sky above is a busy place.

There was great excitement recently when birders discovered a solitary sandpiper — a rare sighting on the North Shore.

Al Grass is a naturalist with Wild Bird Trust of British Columbia, which sponsors free walks at Maplewood Flats Conservation Area on the second Saturday of every month. The next walk will be Saturday, June 8 starting at 10 a.m. Meet at Maplewood Flats, 2645 Dollarton Hwy. Walks go rain or shine.

Renovated homes open to public THREE North Shore houses will be featured in the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association’s 20th annual Parade of Renovated Homes.

The local residences are among 11 professionally renovated homes in Metro Vancouver that will be open to the public on Sunday, June 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Produced by the GVHBA Renovation Council and sponsored by FortisBC, the parade offers people the chance to see homes transformed by professional contractors.

At 4518 Mountain Hwy. in North Vancouver, Shakespeare Homes and

Renovations turned a plain, sagging creekside house into an 1800s-style home featuring hand-cut granite stonework, double-exposed shingle siding, and heritage cabinetry and millwork throughout.

AMA Total Renovation upgraded a newly purchased home at 4839 Caulfeild Court, West Vancouver, with custom-made solid wood stairs, engineered hardwood throughout, and a redesigned kitchen and bathrooms. And at 910 Sherwood Lane, West Vancouver, CCI Renovations opened up a classic 1960s post-and-beam home with a partial second floor, extended entry and deck space.

Also featured on the tour are a Tuscan-

style makeover, a condominium reno with 360-degree city views and a luxury townhome remodel.

GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit said Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend $3.8 billion sprucing up their homes this year, and this one-day event offers the public an opportunity to see what’s possible.

Admission is by passport, available at each home for $10 per person. Passports can be purchased at any home, and used for entry to the remaining homes. Visit gvhba. org for a full list of participating homes, including project descriptions and beforeand-after photos.

Over the winter months, outdoor furniture can become mouldy and covered in dirt.

I like to give all the tables and chairs a thorough scrub before replacing the cushions.

This year why not choose a natural cleaning product that won’t harm the environment?

Rather than reaching for the typical chemical cleaners, there are many natural and eco-friendly alternatives on store shelves. These cleaners work at a molecular level and will remove the toughest grease, dirt and grime.

A few of my favourite brands are Ecover, Green Works and Clean Well. All three of these products are readily available and are completely safe to use around pets and children and they do not leave any toxic residue behind.

Ecover’s All Purpose Lemon Cleaner, for example, is suitable for all hard, washable surfaces and is composed of plant-based ingredients. This is a great all-purpose cleaner for floors, counters and bathrooms and metal or plastic outdoor furniture. Just a capful, diluted in water, goes a long way to clean the toughest mildew.

good, old-fashioned soap and warm water on your resin or wrought aluminum type furniture. Most of the mildew and dirt will simply come off with a warm soapy cloth.

For tougher stains try Home Depot’s Eco Mist Outdoor Furniture Spray.

Rust is another problem on metal furniture. For small rust stains try using a fine grit sandpaper and then touch it up with a small amount of paint.

Remember that periodically cleaning your outdoor furniture through the summer months is the best way to keep it in good condition. If you are able to cover the furniture while you are away on vacation then it is recommended to do so. This will avoid any stains due to bird droppings as well.

Sunlight is also another great way to keep the moss and mildew away. Over time the sunlight will prevent mould and mildew from growing if you can move your shade furniture into the sun from time to time.

room available.

Privacy is an issue in any garden but the small space garden usually has little or no privacy due to its close proximity to its neighbours.

Privacy screening can be accomplished in several ways. Choose trees thoughtfully to provide privacy by selecting a species that will attain the mature height needed for privacy without interfering with surrounding buildings or outgrowing the space and becoming a maintenance problem.

In those instances where a tree will not work, lattice screening can be built directly around the seating area instead of raising the perimeter fencing height. Lattice can be furnished with small climbing vines to add colour and interest.

The latest method to provide privacy in small spaces comes in the form of the green or living wall. Some research is needed before building a green wall but they offer the flexibility of changing plant material, being customizable for shape and height and little ground space is required to build them. Green walls can produce a highly decorative final product that provides privacy and it can even be planted with veggies.

Metal screens can also be highly decorative for privacy screening and these days repurposing or upcycling old farm items, metal fencing or industrial materials can provide inexpensive options for the do-it-yourself builder.

Colour choices are very personal but the basic design concepts with colour are that cool colours like blue will recede into the background, making the space seem larger.

Hot colours like red will make the space seem smaller by advancing the background.

Those two concepts are important but I recommended against having all cool colours or all hot colours because some contrast between the two is needed to obtain drama and interest. Just be aware and use a predominate colour scheme to maximize your space’s enjoyment.

The size of a plant’s leaf also affects visual perception of space, especially in a small space.

Large leaved plants like hosta will advance the background, making the space seem smaller.

Small leaved plants will cause the background to recede, making the space seem larger. There is some cross-over perception between leaf size and colours in terms of making spaces seem larger or smaller and some careful design planning is required to achieve a desirable outcome.

The old wisdom of “if you can’t build out then build up” is most applicable to the small space garden. Building or more accurately growing up with vines allows an increased range of plant material to be grown in the small garden while simultaneously providing privacy screening and interest. But choose your vines carefully. Wisteria, grapes and kiwis may be desirable but they come with a maintenance requirement. Honeysuckle or clematis are size appropriate choices for the small garden. There are also many annual vines that can be grown seasonally to add interest without outgrowing their space.

One of the great benefits of a small garden is its cosiness and intimacy that is sometimes lost in bigger gardens. Just be sure to do your homework and planning by moving things around on paper to avoid costly mistakes made by moving things around on the ground.

When I was in Grade 12 I had the perfect situation for studying for my final

exams. I went to stay with my grandparents. I am the oldest of six siblings and you can imagine that trying to bear down and study in a house with five other kids and two parents could be a bit of a challenge. So I left for a few weeks.

To make things even better, my grandparents instinctively knew what I needed to make this a good experience. My grandmother had taught in a one-room schoolhouse and she must have harkened back to her memories of exams and the stress her students felt.

Based on that event and my experience talking to hundreds of parents over the years, here are some ways you can reduce the stress for your child and help her to become more effective and efficient in her studies.

month of the school year and it’s also the most stressful. The older the child, the higher the grade they are in, the higher the stress levels. Final marks count, particularly if the student is planning on university, college or another post-secondary institution.

Studying and writing exams is the job of the student. In fact, once kids are getting homework it’s theirs, not yours.

Your job is to support them but not do their work. It’s not up to you to ensure that they learn everything that they need to know. Nagging and pushing will not work and won’t teach them how to take responsibility for their own education.

Students with part-time jobs should take the month of June off. Parents can help by insisting on this. You should talk to the kids about this at the point that they are looking for

a job. Working can seem very important to our kids and it is, but exams are more important so they need to either quit their job or ask for a leave during this time.

Prepare their favourite meals. Often students get into trouble by not eating properly.

It’s easier to get the kids to take a healthy break for meals if you’re preparing nutritious food that they love. Sit down as a family and enjoy the break.

Your child will go back to the books refreshed, refueled and ready to concentrate on her studies. And while we’re talking about food, remember snacks.

Children get hungry often, so quietly slip in while they’re studying and bring a cold drink and cookies (but don’t talk!).

Your kids do need some breaks so don’t criticize her if she takes a break to watch a favourite TV show. As a matter

of fact, if she seems chained to the desk, encourage her to take a break.

Studying is hard work.

Understand when they are tired and encourage them to get enough sleep. Pulling allnighters is rarely a good way to prepare for an exam.

When you reduce their household responsibilities and take on some of their personal tasks such as doing their laundry, it not only gives them time to study, it also demonstrates in a concrete way your commitment to education.

They see that you believe so strongly in their studying that you’re willing to take on extra work to allow them to focus on their primary task during exam time.

When they head off to school to write their exams, wish them luck. parentingtoday.ca

Expedition focus is climate change From page 13

Jack of hearts

NEWS photo Paul McGrath

myself and my team are hoping to row it in a single season, without sail or motor, in a fragile, thin skinned rowboat. The Arctic has changed.

If we can make this traverse we will be able to demonstrate first-hand the profound effects climate change is having on our world.

Something like this has never been done before because something like this could never have been done before. It can be now.

There seems to be a disconnect between what’s actually happening with climate change and what’s being done about it. The sad reality of our geo-political world is that short-term goals always seem to trump long-term planning.

We hope our actions can add one more voice to the chorus that is demanding change. Barry Lopez in his book Arctic Dreams holds out some semblance of hope that greed and short-term thinking won’t be our undoing: “The cold view to take of our future is that we are therefore headed for extinction in a universe of impersonal, chemical, physical, and biological

laws. A more productive, certainly more engaging view, is that we have the intelligence to grasp what is happening, the composure to not be intimidated by its complexity, and the courage to take steps that may bear no fruit in our lifetimes.”

If you believe in something, stand up for it.

This is my hope this summer. Reader’s can check out our expedition website at mainstreamlastfirst. com.

My expedition will take me away from the North Shore News until next September and, during this time, guest columnist Dalit Holzman will take over the reigns of Building by Design.

Dalit’s will be a different voice than my own, exploring the residential design world from the point of view of an ecologically conscious builder. Her company, the Econ Group Ltd., are a collection of young, dynamic individuals whose approach to residential construction belies a penchant for sustainability and modernity. I’m certain readers will greatly enjoy her contribution.

Local dancers fare well at NYC worlds

STUDENTS from the North Vancouver-based Vancouver Junior Professional Division, a ballet training centre for students ages 6-13, produced high-level results at a New York City dance competition.

Six students from VJPD qualified for the world finals this year and performed April 12-17 in Manhattan at the 2013 Youth America Grand Prix, the world’s largest student ballet scholarship competition. According to a statement from the local school, the event is considered by some to be the junior ballet Olympics for students.

Results are as follows: Martina Prefontaine, 11, was awarded the pre-competitive age 9-11 gold medal for Canada. Natalie Thornley-Hall, 12, placed in the top 24 in the junior division ages 12-14, making it to the final round and performing a solo on the Lincoln Center Stage in front of 3,000 people. Mya Kresnyak, 11, placed in the top 12 in pre-competitive. Maya Milic, 7, was the youngest student to qualify and participate at the world finals this year. Four of the school’s six students were offered scholarships to the Australian Ballet School. School director Kathryn Long was selected by the judging panel and awarded the 2013 Outstanding Teacher Award.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to EXCEPTIONAL CUISINE

Menu has Persian influence Romancing the Stove Angela Shellard

Fare fit for bridal shower

Chris Dagenais Contributing writer

AS I type these words, the familiar scent of toasted sesame bagel fills the air.

It’s a nostalgic smell for me as I grew up in Montreal and have consumed more of these crunchy, chewy disks than any other baked item on the planet. The bagel in my toaster today is from Rosemary Rock Salt on Lonsdale Avenue and 17th Street, the flagship outlet of what aspires to be a global chain. To my right, steam rises from a cup of freshly steeped Kapchorua, a tasty green tea from Kenya that was introduced to me by the knowledgeable staff of Tea Time, a wonderland for tea connoisseurs that is located on the east side of Lonsdale Avenue between 14th and 15th streets. As a resident of the North Shore, this is common breakfast fare for me and for that I consider myself incredibly lucky. Those of us who call the North Shore our home are surrounded by fantastic foods that bear the imprint of culinary influences from many corners of the globe. You can imagine how excited I am to be writing about this stuff every week. I look forward to reporting back to you on remarkable food discoveries. I encourage you to drop me a line any time to flag something you think is relevant for the column or just to talk shop with another foodie.

••• A visit to East First Street’s Finch and Barley had the unexpected effect of making me feel like a pioneer. The restaurant is squarely situated

in the middle of a two-block industrial centre. “For Lease” signs occupy the windows of several buildings in the area, but the bustling scene inside Finch and Barley makes these vacancies seem oddly hopeful, perhaps pointing to the potential that exists for future tenants to shape the vibe of the neighbourhood.

I arrived for an 8 p.m. reservation to find Finch and Barley still in the full swing of a busy dinner service. The interior of the restaurant is bright and airy, with minimalist decor and a thoughtful seating arrangement: tables principally line the perimeter of the space, preserving a sense of openness.

I note with interest that the Finch and Barley website provides photographs of the interior of the restaurant in two categories: light and dark. This reveals an insightful observation as the transformation of the restaurant is truly dramatic when the lighting switches to “night mode” in the later hours of service. Accompanying me for the evening was my frequent dining partner Gil, so dubbed in honour of the noble Gilbaka, a fish indigenous to his native Guyana and occasionally available in Lower Mainland fish markets. We began our meal with a generously portioned order of mixed olives and crispy baguette. As we were finishing the last of the bread, our server provided us with a complimentary snack of curry-

JUNE is wedding month and that means it’s bridal shower season.

If you’re elected to host a shower for the blushing bride don’t panic, this is entertaining at its easiest. Just think fruit punch, finger food and dainty sweets. Steer clear of anything that’s messy or drippy since it’s likely your guests will be balancing a plate of goodies on their lap.

Nothing squelches a party atmosphere more quickly than a big blob of crab dip on somebody’s silk dress. Lavish platters of fresh fruit and colourful veggies with a lively dip are easy ways to complete your refreshment table.

The fish was battered but remained light and moist and the accompanying Persianstyle slaw provided a welcome crunch. For mains, Gil chose the Italian sausage pizza, a thin-crust pie topped with spicy sausage, spinach and banana peppers, while I had the braised lamb shank cooked in Persian spices and red wine, served on a bed of herbed couscous.

The lamb was fall-off-thebone tender and married nicely with the granular couscous, but the addition of balsamic atop the accompanying asparagus was the one exception to an otherwise seamless integration of Persian and Mediterranean influences that define the menu.

TEE TIME

Nicklaus North still a great draw

Location welcomes all players Mark Hood Contributing writer

WE are in the midst of the annual hand-off from spring to summer.

photo Mark Hood

THE final par 3 is the 17th, Nicklaus North’s signature hole. At 226 yards from the tips, the heavily bunkered putting surface juts out into Green Lake and players have to be aggressive if they want to be remotely close to par. Scan this photo to watch a video from the course.

In the wilderness north of Grouse Mountain, the last fingers of snow are yielding to wild alpine flowers, and early shoots of salal and blueberry bushes reach out for sunlight and warmth.

The bears are stirring, shaking off the long sleep of winter and will soon make their presence known on the trails and mountain paths we share with them.

Up in Whistler, another bear, a “golden bear,” made his imprint on the valley floor almost 20 years ago and his presence is still felt today. When the Nicklaus North Golf Course opened for play in 1996, it was hailed as a masterpiece of golf course design, and put all B.C. courses (those already opened or those in the planning stages) on notice that an “average” golf experience wasn’t good enough.

Joining the Whistler and Chateau Whistler courses as the third jewel in the resort municipality’s triple crown of golf, Nicklaus North has continued to attract players from around the world anxious to experience a superb course in a stunning natural setting.

Driving toward the club house along Nicklaus North Boulevard takes you past gorgeous homes set in beautiful neighbourhoods. There are parts of the world where this lifestyle would be behind gates, closely guarded by security and available to only the very few.

This, however, is Whistler. The signs on the way to the Nicklaus North clubhouse say “everyone welcome” and they back it up in spades.

TEE TIME

Course is bisected by highway From page 27 your engine to drive home, you experience excellence. Everyone working at the club house or on the course is genuinely friendly, polite and anxious to please.

It seems that their sole mission is to make sure you have the time of your life.

It was the May long weekend and Nicklaus North had been open since May 3, one of the earliest starts to a golf season recalled, when I visited the course. A month ago, the ski hills were still buzzing with late-season visitors, getting the last few runs out of the remaining snow pack. I was among them. Now the action had moved to the lowlands as the first arrivals of the summer season unloaded their mountain bikes, kayaks and golf clubs.

Golf is an individual pursuit played in groups and therein lies one of the secrets of its attraction. You can have a bad round and still enjoy yourself if you have the right company.

I was joined that day by Dan, actually, three Dans: Dan Rothenbush, Dan Rees and Dan Foster, all good friends, so we were in for a pleasant outing regardless of the actual golf.

From the championship tees Nicklaus North clocks in at 6,961 yards. There are five par-threes, four par-fives and nine parfours. The course is bisected by the Sea to Sky Highway, creating two slightly different playing environments. Holes 1, 2 and 14-18 are near the clubhouse and along the shores of Green Lake. Lined with tall evergreens and vacation homes, it’s a little more protected from the winds that can rage up and down the valley.

Holes 3-13 are right out in the open of the valley floor and if there’s wind, it’s right in your teeth. The opening hole at Nicklaus

North is 390 yards from the back tees with water running down the right, past the tee boxes to the beginning of the fairway. There are a pair of bunkers down the right-side rough and one to the left guarding the green.

It was an excellent introduction to what lay beyond. The large landing area gives you plenty of real estate for your tee shot, but after that it narrows considerably and you’ve got to be accurate with your iron play or suffer the consequences.

That’s how most of the holes are set up at Nicklaus North: plenty of room off the tee, but a narrow second shot to greens guarded by bunkers or water. It’s actually a perfect layout for recreational golfers who can be a little wayward off the tee. Good iron play can get you out of most of the trouble you’ll create for yourself.

Greens were very healthy and held their line, removing any excuse for a poor putt.

Some of us managed to find sand, some of us found trees, but the course was in outstanding condition and it was a decent start for a round in May. The second hole was the first of the parthrees. The par-threes at Nicklaus North are worth the price of admission alone. They are perplexing, astounding, maddening and beautiful.

At 197 from the tips, Nicklaus North’s second hole is a challenge. A large pond occupies most of the right half of the approach to the green and there are big, nasty bunkers waiting for you on the right and right-rear of the green. There’s plenty of real estate down the left side but this is Jack Nicklaus daring you to go for it.

See Valley page 30

NUMBER 12 at 225 from the back tees is all carry over water to a steeply crowned green. It has been enhanced by the addition of the Ben Hogan Augusta National Bridge to take players to the putting surface or the drop zone.

Held on the Vancouver Parks Board’s three championship public golf courses, this year’s event is attracting a full field of national and international players competing for a total purse of $125,000.

After turning pro last July, Wong got off to an impressive start winning three Canadian golf tour events. In August, he pulled off a stunning one-shot win at the Canadian Tour Championship by holing out from 133 yards for eagle on the final hole. He followed that up by winning the Vancouver Golf Tour’s premier event, The Vancouver Open, a week later and took the Canadian Tour’s final event, the Great Waterway Classic in Ganonoque, again by a single stroke.

This year’s field at the Vancouver Open includes Cory Renfrew who finished second in the 2012 CPGA’s Victoria Times Colonist Island Savings Open, and Seymour Creek Golf Centre’s Brynn Parry, a six-time B.C. PGA Player of the Year.

Canadian PGA Tour players include Ryan Williams, Nick Taylor and James Allenby.

Players scheduled to appear from the PGA’s Latinoamerica Tour include Chileans Hugo Leon, Horacio Leon and Martin Ureta.

Valley offers plenty of impressive views From page 28

From the third tee to the 13th green, the course is a wild ride though the elements of the Whistler Valley. The views of the surrounding peaks, shedding the last vestiges of the ski season, were glorious.

The Whistler Valley is one of the main corridors for airflow between the interior and the coast and wind can be a serious factor for golfers.

If it’s flowing steadily in one direction, you can allow for it and make adjustments accordingly.

That day the wind was up and swirling, changing direction and never fully dying down. Perfectly executed tee shots were pushed into water or bunkers and we faced revised calculations with almost every swing.

The first of the par-fives, number 3, was 518 yards from the back tees and sent us head-first into the tempest.

Foster and I wilted somewhat but the other Dans managed very respectable pars.

The fourth was no easier.

The longest of the parfours at Nicklaus North,

number 4, is 465 yards from the championship tees and swirling wind played with us almost everywhere but on the putting surface. We only managed one par between the lot of us.

One of the prettiest holes on the front is the slight dogleg-left 376-yard par 4 9th. There’s water all the way down the left side of the tee boxes to the fairway and the view of Whistler Mountain is absolutely magnificent. It reminded me how fortunate we are to live where we do, among all this beauty and world-class destinations.

People from around the world save and plan months ahead, with no weather guarantees, to catch a glimpse of what we have in our backyard. We can go almost on a whim and take advantage of what some people wait a lifetime to experience.

The back 9 begins with the troublesome 185 yard par-3 10th hole. Like number 2, there’s water all the way down the right and bunkers to the left and rear of the putting surface.

TEE TIME Seventeenth is the signature hole From page 30 Pin placement is dictated by the wind and it was howling.

With no real way to estimate the speed or direction of the wind up at the green, the safe play was left and a little long. Bailing out? Perhaps, but the score card would look much better at the end of the round.

There are some great stretches of play on the back 9: the 555 yard par 5 11th and the 438 yard par 4 18th come to mind, but for me the most memorable are the par threes.

Number 12, at 225 from the back tees is all carry over water to a steeply crowned green. What was already a pretty hole has been enhanced by the addition of the Ben Hogan Augusta National Bridge to take you to the putting surface or the drop zone.

The crowns and contours on the green mean that even if your tee shot stays dry, par is no easy feat. The final par three is the 17th, Nicklaus North’s signature hole.

At 226 yards from the tips, the heavily bunkered putting surface juts out into Green Lake and you have to be

ONE of the prettiest holes on the front is the slight dogleg-left 376-yard par 4 9th. There’s water all the way down the left side of the tee boxes to the fairway and the view of Whistler Mountain is magnificent. aggressive if you want to be remotely close to par.

Foster was just off the back of the green and chipped it close for the only par in the group. Walking down the 18th fairway we felt a sense of accomplishment, that we had taken on a big challenge and emerged, if not victorious, at least not defeated.

Make no mistake, this is a fantastic golf course. It takes a dedicated team of grounds crew to maintain top playability in an alpine environment and the course will only improve as the

weather warms.

Jack Nicklaus Course Design has produced more than 360 courses around the world. Only six bear his name.

The only one in Canada is Nicklaus North.

The people who make it all work understand that you have a choice about where to play and go out of their way to make sure you leave with a smile on your face. When it comes to superb golf courses, B.C. has an embarrassment of riches, yet Nicklaus North still impresses.

It’s a great destination.

Something to shout about Argyle senior girls win provincial soccer title on home field

Andy Prest aprest@nsnews.com

IN moments of pure euphoria earned after hours and hours of work and toil, genteel decorum can sometimes get booted to the side by spontaneous celebration.

Such was the case for Jessie Blanchard moments after the final whistle blew on a 1-0 win for her Argyle Pipers over the Oak Bay Breakers in the provincial AAA girls soccer championship final Saturday at North Vancouver’s Inter River Park.

“I’m speechless. I’m so excited. It’s crazy. We’ve been waiting for this all frickin year,” she yelled in answer to a question from a North Shore News

DEADLINE FRIDAY

reporter. Except she didn’t say frickin. Instead she used another similar yet more colourful word before quickly correcting herself with a laugh and apology.

No apology needed, Ms. Blanchard. You’ve earned this.

Blanchard, in fact, scored the game’s only goal on a long blast late in the first half that sailed over the head of the Oak Bay keeper before dropping just under the crossbar in the top left corner.

“I did not think it was going in,” Blanchard explained. “I was just like, smash it as hard as you can.”

The unchecked enthusiasm continued for the Pipers following the win, the delirious girls lining up for photos on several occasions only to lift their forest green jerseys up to reveal their sports bras to the stunned and equally joyful Argyle fans. Brandi Chastain would have been proud.

Amusing celebration antics aside, “proud” was a word Argyle head coach Darren Rath used over and over and he described the effort put in by his team this season to earn their fun.

“I’m really, really, really proud of the girls,” said Rath. “They had their minds set that they wanted See Host page 34

Host Pipers locked in on final from Day 1

From page 33

this right from the start. They set their goal, they did everything in their power to achieve it and I’m really, really excited and happy and pleased for those girls because it’s an experience that they’re never going to forget.”

Argyle won the bid to be the host school for the tournament before the season began, meaning that they would get a place in the championships as the host team regardless of how they fared during the year. Without the pressure to perform every game, the team still dominated, going undefeated in league and playoff play to qualify as a top seed for the provincial tournament. They began play on Thursday with a 5-0 win over Mount Baker and 2-1 win over Winston Churchill before meeting South Delta in the final pool game.

Needing only a tie to move on to the semifinals, Argyle fell behind early and trailed much of the game until striker Mikaela Kautzky scored on a header with just two minutes left to keep the championship drive alive. Next up was a physical battle against Coquitlam’s Dr. Charles Best secondary with a berth in the final on the line. Kautzky again factored in the scoring, setting up Leanna Glass with a slick pass for a tap-in on the game’s only goal late in the first half.

Saturday’s final, played in perfect soccer weather in front of hundreds of fans on Inter River’s pristine showcase pitch, started as a tight affair with few chances between the teams. In the 30th minute, against the run of play, Oak Bay sprang through the defence on a threeon-nothing breakaway that was shut down by Argyle goalie Austin Studer who sprinted from her line to smother the ball right off the foot of the lead attacker.

“Massive, massive save,” said Rath. “That save is the turning point.” Less than eight minutes later the ball was in the back of Oak Bay’s net off of Blanchard’s drive.

“Probably a good 30 yards out, maybe more,” Rath said of the shot that sent the strongly pro-Argyle crowd into a frenzy. “Top corner, fantastic.”

In the second half the teams both generated a few chances. The Pipers came the closest with a blast off the crossbar while Oak Bay poured on the pressure in the dying minutes but couldn’t get past Argyle’s strong backline.

On the rare occasions they did break through, Studer was there to make the save.

With shutouts in both the semifinal and final as well as only two goals allowed in five

total games, Studer was named the tournament MVP. “When the most important games were up, she stepped up and made fantastic saves,” said Rath. “They were all one goal games except for the first one, it could have gone easily in the other teams’ favour if it wasn’t for Austin.”

Blanchard, meanwhile, was named to the Commissioner’s 16 tournament all-star team.

Her goal won the tournament but it was her dominant play in a defensive midfield role that helped put the Pipers in the final.

“She was one of the players who took the team on her back, determined to go out as a champion,” said Rath. “There were a number of games where if the team was flat, she was stepping up and trying to make a difference.

Games are often won by who controls the middle of the park and she’s one of the engines of our team.”

Sophie Swant, a standout basketball player, showed she knows how to find the net on grass as well, her five goals earning her a share of the golden boot award with Nina LaFlamme from Stelly’s secondary.

Four of Swant’s markers came in the 5-0 win over Mount Baker but, in a tournament that counts goal differential, they were far from meaningless blowout tallies. Argyle finished ahead of South Delta in pool play by just one goal. “(Sophie’s goals) put us through, that gave us the goal difference that we needed,” said Rath. “She was fantastic all tournament holding the ball up, constantly in the penalty area (where) she’s a danger to score goals.”

Kautzky, too, was dangerous all tournament long, pushing the attack with her strong ball skills while also racing back to shore up the defence.

“Mikaela gives everything she’s got,” said Rath. “She’s a leader, she looks out for the team, she battles both ways, she’s one of the hardest working players on the team. She’s always a threat to score and create chances. She did a fantastic job.”

While the team was full of interesting stories and characters, Rath had particularly warm thoughts for the 10 graduating senior players, many of whom have been on the senior team for three years or more.

“That’s what you always want — you want to be able to graduate as a champion,” he said.

“I’m really happy and pleased that they were able to achieve that goal.”

On the other end of the spectrum was the team’s youngest player, Grade 8 defender Kiana

Mackay, who started several games during the season and held her own against the best in B.C. in the provincial tournament.

So how was she feeling after coming through the slog of five games in three days against players up to four years older than her?

“I’m really tired,” she said with a laugh, adding that she wasn’t counting on anything like this when the season began. “I never thought I’d get an opportunity to play with the senior girls and win it. . . . They were super nice. I was a little hesitant when I first came in. I thought ‘Oh, they’re bigger than me and older.’ But I just felt welcomed, like family.”

The championship was the 10th in team history, said Rath, and this squad could hold its own against any of the previous winners.

“It’s right up there with one of the best in Argyle (history),” he said, adding that these girls had the benefit of doing it right at home. “It was fantastic to have the support of everybody on the sidelines. It really gave the girls an extra player on the field when everybody was chanting and screaming and cheering for them.”

For all those screaming fans, there was nothing sweeter than the moment the Pipers started to scream right back.

THE Argyle Pipers senior girls scored the big headlines with their provincial championship win on home soil over the weekend but a couple of other North Shore teams were in the mix as well, battling to earn their way back onto the podium.

Ultimately, however, both the Seycove Seyhawks at the AA level and the Handsworth Royals in AAA action failed to reach the semifinals this season after scoring medals last year.

Seycove won the AA title last season, the first in team history, and made it back into the tournament this year but couldn’t recapture the magic at Mark Isfeld secondary in Courtenay. The Seyhawks notched a 1-2 record in pool play, losing to Archbishop Carney and Sa-Hali while scoring a win over the host team. That left them last in the group and battling for 13th place.

Playoff wins over Kalamalka and Princess Margaret, however, ensured they locked up that 13th spot in the 16-team tournament and gave them a winning record of 3-2 in the event.

At the AAA tournament the Royals followed up last year’s bronze medal win with a ninth place showing this year. Handsworth struggled to score in their tough opening group, their 0-0 ties with Kelowna and Panorama Ridge and 3-1 loss to Kitsilano relegating them to third place in the pool.

Like the Seyhawks, however, the Royals played their best soccer in the playoffs, scoring a 4-1 win over Clayton Heights to make the 9th/10th game and then beating Fleetwood Park 3-1 in penalty kicks after yet another 0-0 tie. Handsworth’s Petra Stastney was named to the Commissioner’s 16 tournament all-star team.

GELPKE, Joan Lawry

Joan passed away peacefully at the North Shore Hospice on May 28, 2013, at the age of 90. Mother is lovingly remembered by her children David (Deby), Vivien (Philip), Patricia (Geoff) and Sarah (David), her grandchildren Emma (Huck), David, Lizzie, Jak and Sam and great-grandchildren Selah, Finn and Charis. She is also survived by her brothers-in-law, Norman and Paul (Mary), her cousin Kitto and her sister-in-law Joan as well as numerous nephews, nieces and other relatives and friends. Mother was predeceased by her husband Peter, her father, John and her mother Annie, her brother-in-law Bob and her sister-in-law Suzie.

Joan had a long and productive life taking care of her family. She was born on December 30th, 1922 in her beloved county of Cornwall, England in the city of Camborne where she met her life partner Peter. Her enduring loyalty to her family lead her on a continuous journey throughout the world. Mother had an abiding interest in the arts and pursued fine arts by painting and sculpturing.

Her home is rich with her artistic endeavors. She lent a sense of her passion to children and grandchildren and our love of the arts is in no small measure due to her influence.

Mom was a warmhearted Cornish girl who had a tacit sense of her role in the world. By her wit, the warmth of her hospitality and her love of people Joan maintained an exceptionally wide circle of friends. She always said we must do the best we can, but it was felt she did even better.

In the end she was an amazingly strong and brave soul who managed to lift up our hearts even when she was in crisis. We all loved her and shall miss her laughter and her kind and loving smile.

PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING A residential redevelopment is being proposed for the Dollarton Shipyard and McKenzie Barge and Marineways ship repair facilities at 3829-3919 Dollarton Highway. You are invited to an information meeting about the project.

Date: Tuesday, June 11th, 2013 Time: 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.

Location of Meeting: Seymour Golf and Country Club 3723 Mount Seymour Parkway, North Vancouver Polygon Development 270 Ltd. proposes to amend the Official Community Plan and rezone these industrial properties to residential use. The development proposal is for 95 multi-family residential units at a density of 0.85 FSR. Eighty of the homes are apartments in 4-storey wood-frame buildings, and fifteen homes are attached townhomes along the foreshore. The proposal also includes substantial environmental remediation to rehabilitate the natural foreshore and Roche Point Creek, as well as a public walkway linking Cates Park to the existing walkway along the foreshore.

The meeting is being held as required by the District of North Vancouver and the applicant will present details of the proposal.

Information packages are being distributed to residents within a minimum 75 meter radius of the site. If you would like to receive a copy or if you would like more information, contact Cynthia Melosky of Polygon Development 270 Ltd. at 604-877-1131 or Doug Allan of the Community Planning Department at 604-990-2357 or bring your questions and comments to the meeting. * This is not a Public Hearing. Council will receive a report from staff on issues raised at the meeting and will formally consider the proposal at a later date.
