he consensus among parents at yesterday’s longboard safety meeting: Longboarders would be safer if certain roads in West Vancouver were closed down on rotating weekends.

This could potentially be an option but the issue needs to be investigated more, Mayor Michael Smith told around 50 parents and boarders who gathered at the Kay Meek Centre.

“We can look at things like road closure, but that does create problems,” said Smith. Besides being potentially expensive, he said NIMBYism — residents wanting any road but theirs closed — would likely be a problem.

Adrenaline-seeking boarders combined with cars sharing the same street have resulted in serious accidents in the district in recent months.

A 17-year-old longboarder was critically injured in May when he collided with a van in Horseshoe Bay. Soon after two longboarders, men aged 20 and 23, were injured in the British Properties when they hit an oncoming truck. Another boarder was fortunate to escape with only facial cuts after he wound up under an SUV in Ambleside.

Nearly 200 longboarders were admitted to emergency rooms in the Lower Mainland, excluding BC Children’s Hospital, from 2008 to 2013.

Most visits — over 100 – were to Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver. However, twice as many ER visits were the result of mountain biking compared to longboarding accidents.

West Van Const. Jeff Palmer said it’s safer for longboarders to participate in organized events rather than board down steep hills and navigate traffic.

“It really only takes one vehicle to really dramatically alter your life,” he warned the longboarders in the audience, adding safety equipment won’t provide adequate protection when colliding with a vehicle.

Although routinely ignored, longboarding is currently banned in West Vancouver and violators face a $45 fine.

Still some parents in the audience said the only practical way to protect their children is to temporarily close down certain streets so cars aren’t a problem.

Mayor Smith said district staff would look into ways other communities have dealt with longboarding safety and will make recommendations on what should be done in West Van. “…We can commit ourselves to listening and actively pursuing sensible solutions so that people can enjoy this sport, it sounds like it’s going to continue growing in popularity,” he added.

Last year, the District of North Vancouver banned longboarding from one of the North Shore’s most popular routes, including Skyline Drive, Wavertree Road and Glenview Drive. Earlier this month, however, council decided not to create a blanket ban over the entire District of North Vancouver. mgarstin@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/MichaelaGarstin

There are plenty of fun activities happening throughout the District this summer to keep you and your family busy. Take the kids and visit the animals at Maplewood Farm, check out the Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre, enroll in a summer program through the North Vancouver Recreation Commission, visit the District’s Libraries, or plan a trip to one of our water parks. If teeing off at the local links is more your style, book a round at Northlands Golf course, or if respite from the heat is what you seek, spend some time hiking the District’s shady trails. Whatever activity you choose, remember to prepare before you go. Sunscreen, a hat and a water bottle are a good idea when you head out in the summer sun.

New William Griffin Design Concepts Unveiled

Approximately 250 residents attended last week’s open house, hosted by North Vancouver District and North Vancouver Recreation Commission, to view the preliminary design concepts for the New William Griffin Community Recreation Centre.

The new facility will be approximately 84,000 square feet on three levels, with both underground and surface parking.

Features of the new facility include: a 25 metre pool, leisure pool, whirlpool, sauna and steam room, fitness areas, including gymnasium and weight room, racquet courts, community space, arts and crafts workshops, and administration offices.

Residents who were unable to attend the open house may view the preliminary design concepts online at www.dnv.org/newwgcrc. Further background information and a feedback form are also available online. Feedback on preliminary design concepts may be submitted until July 12, 2013.

The William Griffin Community Recreation Centre will close in December 2013. Construction is expected to begin in early 2014, and the new facility is expected to open to the public in spring/summer 2016. The Artificial Turf Field at William Griffin will remain open during building construction.

Gun amnesty nets huge North Shore haul An estimated 100 guns and several cases of ammo were turned in to North and West Vancouver police last month for the B.C.-wide gun amnesty program TODD COYNE S Ta f f R e p O RT e R

S

cores of deadly firearms of all makes and models came through the doors of the North and West Vancouver police headquarters in recent days.

It was all part of June’s province-wide gun amnesty drive, in which B.C. residents could call their local law enforcement and ask an officer to remove from their home any firearms and ammunition in their possession — legally or otherwise.

While anyone can surrender a gun to the police at any time — do not bring it to them, they will come to you — the month-long project brought forth a surprising bounty of weaponry to be safely destroyed.

“The fact is they all are operable guns and they all could be used in the operation of a criminal offence,” Cpl. Richard De Jong told The Outlook Tuesday while surveying the amassed arsenal in the basement of the North Vancouver RCMP detachment. “So it’s the fact that they’re now out of someone’s home.”

Both the North Van Mounties and the West Vancouver police said they would not release their tallies of the number of guns seized from their jurisdictions before the province announces its official numbers next week.

However, given the 60-plus surrendered weapons shown to The Outlook by the North Van Mounties and the more than two-dozen guns the West Van police said they had collected midway through June, it’s likely North Shore police seized around 100 firearms and many hundreds, if not thousands, of rounds of ammunition.

At least one of the weapons picked up by the Mounties has already drawn the interest of Vancouver’s Seaforth Armory, which just filed an application for the piece as a display relic.

The gun is a British-made Lee-Enfield .303 rifle, the service weapon of a local Second World War veteran.

It’s not the only Second World War-era weapon collected by North Van police in the recent roundup. Also turned in were an Allied soldier’s flare gun and a Russian army Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle. tcoyne@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/toddcoyne

District unveils new William Griffin centre Design plans for the new North Vancouver community recreation centre are now public TODD COYNE S Ta f f R e p O RT e R

A

new William Griffin centre is one big, bold step closer to reality after the District of North Vancouver revealed its designs for the new community rec centre.

The plans were unveiled at a June 27 open house meeting with staff from the District and the North Vancouver Urban Recreation Commission.

The ambitious designs call for a shimmering three-level, 84,000-square-foot glass structure, featuring among its amenities leisure and lane pools, squash courts, administrative offices and a bustling community centre.

The new centre is to be built from scratch atop the existing William Griffin centre, which will be closed down and demolished beginning in December.

The new facility is expected to open in spring or summer 2016.

If all goes according to the current plan, the new William Griffin centre will see an expansion of existing community centre and recreation facilities on a larger building footprint that will now include an underground parkade.

The top floor of the new centre is slated to include arts and crafts workshops, a pottery studio, rec commission offices and a meeting space for rent.

Plans for the main level include a spacious entrance hall, community centre administration offices, preschool, community kitchen and seniors area. The main floor will also house new field washrooms.

The aquatic and fitness facilities will comprise the bulk of the building’s lower level with a six-lane 25-metre pool, a smaller leisure pool with diving boards and children’s water features, a whirlpool, sauna, steam room, gym, weight room, fitness studio, and courts for racquetball and squash.

NEW aNd imprOvEd - Preliminary design plans for the new William Griffin rec centre call for a three-level 84,000-square-foot glass structure, featuring such amenities as leisure and lane pools, squash courts, admin offices and a bustling community centre. Submitted rendering The design plans also anticipate the likely closure of the nearby Delbrook community recreation centre by integrating the amenities from both West Queens Road facilities into the future William Griffin building.

While a final decision on Delbrook’s inevitable fate has yet to be made, District staff have recommended having only one consolidated community

recreation centre to service the area since early 2008.

During the demolition and construction phases, most of William Griffin’s existing programs and services will be relocated to Delbrook. tcoyne@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/toddcoyne

TaKE mE OuT TO THE ballPaRK - ‘There are tons of reasons to come to the ballpark and one of the least of them is to see who wins or loses,’ says Andy Dunn, president of the Vancouver Canadians. Rob Newell photo

Making the pitch for baseball Andy Dunn can make a Vancouver Canadian fan out of anyone MARTHA PERKINS BlAck PRess

A

ndy Dunn is the perfect Mr. Baseball.

More Norman Rockwell than Barry Bonds, the president of the Vancouver Canadians has a charming afternoon-at-theballpark personality. He’s even kept enough of his sun-filled southern accent to evoke a Field of Dreams belief that life can’t get much better than sitting in the bleachers at Nat Bailey Stadium.

He wants men and women, young and old, neophyte and addict, to want to watch a game. He talks as enthusiastically about the $1 A&W root beer floats on Sundays as he does about the team’s league championships.

Heck — and he probably would say “heck” — this is the man who’s introducing yoga classes at baseball games.

But as much as he wants everyone to fall in love with baseball as much as he has, don’t think he doesn’t have a highly competitive streak. He just believes that baseball isn’t only about the game. Baseball is nostalgia, a game that lives as much in our collective cultural memory as it does in our present-day lives, whether we are fans or not.

Watching a ball game at Nat Bailey Stadium is about families spending time

together. It’s about having an affordable and fun outing. It’s about appealing to both the diehard baseball fan who loves that the Canadians are affiliated with the Toronto Blue Jays and the person who has never watched a professional game before.

“There are tons of reasons to come to the ballpark and one of the least of them is to see who wins or loses,” he says.

Over a healthy salmon lunch at West on South Granville, he’s surprisingly philosophical both about the game and how he came to be in Vancouver as the head (and partner) of Canada’s only official major league farm team.

“Sports changed my life,” he says. One of four brothers, he’d have had “zero chance of a post-graduate degree” if he hadn’t been offered an athletic scholarship. Born in Georgia, where football is a religion, his family moved to Florida when he was five. He played football and baseball as a teenager but, when accepting an athletics scholarship to study sports management at Western Carolina University, he opted for the baseball team.

“To me, it’s like watching an opera every night,” he says. “I love that there’s so much going on underneath a very quiet, peaceful activity.” continued, PAGE 23

Holiday relief The Canadian dollar is sinking. Gas prices have been going up for the past month. Banks are making noise about raising mortgage rates. The housing market is cooling. The weather seems changeable on the hour.

It must be summer.

The Canada Day holiday weekend is the traditional start of vacation season. A chance to get away from it all.

And with the ever-increasing gloom and doom that seems to drain our optimism and energy at a quickening pace, it’s never been more imperative to tune out and step back. At least for a stretch.

Getting away from the workplace, turning down the busyness of our lives is an important change to routine. It reduces anxiety and stress, allows us a chance to recharge, maybe even refocus.

Holidays make for happier, more motivated employees.

But Canadian holiday entitlements lag behind those enjoyed by workers in many other countries.

We get a minimum of 10 working days off depending on the province and tenure of employment. That’s supplemented by five to 10 public statutory holidays, like Canada Day. Australian workers get 20 working days off, plus 10 paid public holidays. Brazilians enjoy 22 working days off, plus a 33 percent premium on top of their regular pay. Workers in Denmark get 25 work days off plus an additional nine public holidays.

German workers get four weeks off plus nine to 13 public holidays. In Finland, the minimum mandated holiday time is 30 days.

Even workers in developing countries like India are granted 12 work days a year for holiday.

But in the United States there’s absolutely no legal provision for mandated holiday time.

Employees are completely at the mercy of their employer.

Canadians may not feel we get enough holiday, but at least we get something.

CULTURAL CONNECTIONS North Shore schools take on the tough task of teaching aboriginal culture and history

By Michaela Garstin

ANIMAL KINGDOM - Grade 5 Ridgeview students, including Macy (on the cover with Xwalacktun) who created a beaver, hold up the masks they made using Coast Salish design.

Rob Newell photo

T

homas holds his mask up high. Unlike many other fifth grade students at Ridgeview elementary who created real-life animals, his is a mystical creature with a blue nose, protruding eyes and stringy hair made from raffia grass.

Noticing the offset eyes, Xwalacktun, a Squamish Nation cultural advisor and Coast Salish artist, said the spiritual mask stood out to him.

“Just by itself, the mask doesn’t have life,” says Xwalacktun, who was born Rick Harry and given his indigenous name by his father Pekultn, a hereditary chief from the Seymour Creek area.

“It needs to have a story to come alive, a dance.”

And that’s exactly what 50-something Grade 5 students at Ridgeview elementary in Ambleside plan to do now that their papier-mâché masks are finished and hanging on the wall.

They stuck to local animals and figures — beaver, bear, ravens, wolves, suns – and traditional Coast Salish colours: yellow, red, black, white and accents of blue and green. Based on what they’ve learned about Squamish Nation culture, Xwalacktun, born Rick the students took the masks Harry, Squamish Nation further than typical art artist projects and created unique narratives for each.

“It would have been wonderful to learn this [in school] while I was a kid,” says Xwalacktun (the “Xw”

sound doesn’t appear in English and is pronounced at the back of the throat).

“What’s the meaning behind the mask? Not only the story and dance, but what’s the message?” ***** Schools in North and West Vancouver sit on Squamish Nation and Tsleil-Waututh traditional territory, stretching from Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove.

By teaching Coast Salish art from this area — not only the technique but the history and stories behind it — both school districts have found one way to incorporate aboriginal education into the curriculum.

The Ridgeview students, for instance, didn’t only learn how to create masks; they studied the history of aboriginal people through Xwalacktun and other Squamish Nation cultural advisors including Bob Baker (Sa7plek Lanakila) and Wes Nahanee (Chiaxen), as well as Deborah Jacobs, head of education for the Squamish Nation.

“With a large population of non-aboriginal students in West Vancouver, it is important to improve their knowledge of local culture and history,” says Lynn Tomlinson, director of instruction for the West Vancouver school district, standing beside their teacher Amy Meldrum.

“Aboriginal education needs to become a part of the regular curriculum so that is more embedded in daily work. It shouldn’t be a separate topic of study.”

This thought is echoed by Brad Baker, administrator for the North Vancouver school district, and Mike Morgan, aboriginal success teacher.

Educating non-aboriginal students as well as

providing support for aboriginal students are both important responsibilities of schools, says Baker, a member of the Squamish Nation.

The Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement between the school district, the Ministry of Education and Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations outlines goals for students’ education.

“We offer a program called Aboriginal Initiatives… [it] brings cultural awareness and a sense of belonging for students of aboriginal ancestry,” says Baker, giving an example of one program the district’s 600 First Nations students can participate in.

“A lot of our books… are very European-centric so we incorporate First Nations themes.”

Unlike most of Canada, a limited number of treaties have been signed in British Columbia. Currently, around half of B.C.’s 200 First Nations — or twothirds of all aboriginal people — are represented in ongoing treaty negotiations.

“The next 50 to 100 years of treaty-making in B.C. will probably be the single most important economic impact that we have,” says Morgan. “So it’s important our kids know about that.”

But many students won’t have the chance to explore these issues in depth before leaving high school.

“In my opinion… the history of B.C. is at least, at a minimum, 50 per cent the relationship between First Nations people and non-First Nations people, and the fact that it’s not included [more] in the curriculum is a bit of a problem,” says Morgan.

He hopes courses like BC First Nations Studies 12, which isn’t mandatory, will start to play a bigger role in education. The school district is also aiming to incorporate more lessons about treaties and other

www.northshoreoutlook.com www.northshoreoutlook.com important, albeit complicated, issues through its Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement and other programs. ***** Xwalacktun’s signature bear paws, drawn on the bottom of each painting and carving, are hallmarks at Norgate elementary.

The students took the master carver on a scavenger hunt to locate his artwork, some of which dates back decades.

Now it’s up to carver Wes Nahanee (Chiaxen) to create something new for the North Vancouver school, where 60 per cent of students are aboriginal, mostly from the Squamish Nation.

As students and staff look on, he begins to carve a canoe from a 114-year-old red cedar log that will eventually hang in the lobby. The tree was salvaged after a powerful wind storm seven years ago that levelled 41 hectares of forest and knocked down hundreds of large trees in Stanley Park.

But before any work could begin, the wood had to be blessed.

As the students circled around, four women, including Nahanee’s wife and Norgate’s principal, dipped branches into water before brushing the log while slowly walking around it four times.

“The ladies are the life-givers,” says Nahanee, explaining why only women can bless the log before carving begins.

At the ceremony witnesses were present; people Nahanee says are traditionally in charge of relaying what happened at important events to others who couldn’t attend.

It’s this sort of event teachers hope give students, both aboriginal and non-aboriginal, a better understanding of First Nation culture and history.

“This sort of ceremony is for everyone, whether they are First Nations or not. We all have something to learn from it,” explains Lisa Upton, Norgate’s principal.

While lessons about some important and complicated topics, such as the affects of colonization and the residential school system, are saved until high school, younger kids are gradually introduced to these issues.

“The big thing is to make people across North Vancouver aware of the traditional territory that our school district lies on,” says Baker “And how important it is that all of us understand the rich history here of aboriginal people.”

Blind (wine) ambition or uncovering new faves

Discovering the joy of not knowing what you’re drinking

L

ast week I had the pleasure of hosting “Undercover,” a fundraiser for the Shooting Stars Foundation which provides support to local HIV/ AIDS organizations. It’s one

Kurtis Kolt

idea. You’d be surprised how enjoyable it can be when you don’t know what you’re drinking, and it’s extra fun when your friend who claims to hate Riesling chooses one as his or her favourite.

So what happens when I get to tear around a room tasting wines without knowing what they are? I find a few new favourites, too! Here are a couple of them:

of my absolute favourite kurtis@kurtiskolt.com events of the year and the premise is simple. It’s a walk-around, festival style tasting similar to the Vancouver International Wine Festival — but here’s the kicker: all 80 wines in the room were covered in brown bags, poured completely blind to the 350 Synchromesh 2012 guests in attendance.

‘Thorny Vines’ Riesling

Yup, you approach any table and the only thing you get to know is if the wine is white, pink, red or sparkling (there’s something to be said for the obvious here), and the agents pouring are permitted to share if the wines are Old World (European) or New World. Attendees are given programs with numbers that correspond to the wines poured, and are encouraged to score and make notes on favourites. About a half hour before the events wrap up, all wines are uncovered and you get to buzz around, discovering what your new favourites are, which usually entails a few surprises!

I like the concept for a few reasons, not least of which is that it’s so much fun. The other thing is that your subconscious can’t muddle your perception based on brands, grapes or countries you assume to like or dislike. It’s wine tasting without a net, just pure opinion based on sight, aroma and taste.

When you’re getting together with a bunch of people this summer I highly recommend you try your own home version of the

| Okanagan Valley, BC | $19-23 | Winery Direct/ Private Stores

There’s been a buzz around town about Okanagan Falls’ Synchromesh Wines, and what a pleasure it was to finally give them a whirl and find them to be totally worthy! The best part is that I wasn’t influenced by that buzz as I enjoyed lifted aromatics of lime, green apple and jasmine, followed by orange marmalade and lemonade on the palate. It’s juicy, but still finishes dry. Yet another fantastic B.C. Riesling to add to my ever-growing list of favourites!

Peter & Peter 2009 Pinot Noir | Pfalz, Germany | $18.99 | BC Liquor Stores

What a pleasant and delicate little Pinot Noir! Definitely on the lighter side of red, chill this one up a bit and enjoy raspberries, cherries, a stony minerality with a couple flecks of fresh herbs. That little bit of age on it brings nuances of cola and sarsaparilla. I’m thinking hamburgers or hot dogs, and topping up my glass often.

VICTORIA – Government revenues have fallen $900 million short of February’s budget projections, and teachers and other government workers can expect no new money for wages, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said last week.

Bright spots for the B.C. economy include an expected recovery in natural gas prices from historic lows, and $500 million in savings on government operations, de Jong said in a post-election budget update.

B.C. is continuing an effective freeze on public sector wage growth that began in 2010. Since the government’s “cooperative gains” mandate in 2012, nearly three quarters of union members have signed contracts with average pay increases of one to two per cent, financed through savings in other areas of operations. Most are two-year deals, with some halfway through.

The projected surplus for this year is trimmed from $197 million in February to $153 million, and de Jong had to trim contingency funds to reach that.

Tax hikes are unchanged from February, including a two-year increase for personal income over $150,000 and a tobacco tax increase set for October.

The budget calls for $30 million in spending cuts this year, after last year’s reduction of $20 million in all ministries except health. The government’s “core review” of government operations is getting underway with a target of another $50 million in savings by the end of 2014, but no program targets are identified in the budget update.

The price for natural gas, the key commodity for the government’s debt reduction plan, is forecast to rise from $2.25 per gigajoule this year to $2.51 and $2.89 in the next two years. Exports of liquefied natural gas to Asia, where prices are currently far higher, can’t begin until well after 2015.

Lumber prices are forecast to decline, from a peak of US $348 per 1,000 board feet this year to $308 in 2014 and $300 in 2015.

De Jong said the government’s asset sales plan is about $8 million ahead of projections, with about half of the properties, bonds and other financial holdings sold or in negotiations to sell. The goal is to raise $475 million for next year’s budget.

Properties already sold include land on Tranquille Road in Kamloops, a school board office in Kelowna, surplus school land in Delta, vacant lots in Burnaby, Surrey and near Victoria General Hospital and former school sites in Surrey and North Vancouver.

Properties going on the market include a former school board office in Surrey, a vacant site north of Kelowna once planned for a provincial prison, former school sites in Central Saanich, Sidney and north central Vancouver Island and land for LNG development in Kitimat.

Week 4 update: The Outlook’s Great Summer Shape Up contestants, John O’Flynn and Leona Geall, continue to reap to the benefits of the ZIP slimming/ weight loss program: In four weeks, Leona has lost 11-and-a-half inches of fat, while John sheds a pound a day.

A high school graduation dinner and Canada Day barbecue were on the agenda last week for John and Leona, respectively.

John, who was in Victoria for his daughter’s graduation, was tempted by the “top shelf ” food offerings at the luxury resort where the dinner was being held.

Luckily for him, there were plenty of allowable protein options on the buffet menu to choose from.

“I totally went to town on prawns and scallops,” says John.

Meanwhile, Leona celebrated Canada Day by watching the parade in Lower Lonsdale and then going for her 10th Zerona laser treatment at the nearby Foundation for Integrated Health. John O’Flynn “On the [Canada Day] weekend there was stuff going on, but I stayed away from the food that I’m not allowed to have,” says Leona.

Instead of drinking wine, she enjoyed a satisfying Ideal Protein blueberry-cranberry beverage.

The FIH can add John and Leona to their long list of clients that have achieved similar weight loss results.

Dr. Linda Drake, FIH director of patient services, cites a story from another patient who turned to the clinic after experiencing frustration with other weight loss programs.

Deborah, in her early fifties, is a former yoga and fitness instructor who maintained a healthy diet and exercised regularly, but developed a tummy bulge that wouldn’t go away.

Drake says, in Deborah’s case, aging is a factor. After men and women hit age 35, hormone imbalances — particularly with insulin — are an issue, she explains.

“Stubborn belly fat is commonly

associated with too much and/or bouncing insulin levels which locks down the doors to the fat cells,” says Drake.

“When insulin is present in your blood, it acts like a security guard against burning any fat. It is physiologically impossible for you to burn fat when insulin is present in the blood.”

Leona was surprised to learn which fruits and vegetables are laden with natural sugars which can boost insulin.

“I didn’t realize how many foods can contribute to increased insulin that my FIH counsellors are trying to stop,” says Leona. “And it doesn’t have to be chocolate bars.”

As Leona points out, also peas and beans can have a negative impact when

Leona Geall

someone is trying to lose weight.

The FIH’s biggest weight loss success story is C.H. who lost 35 inches in just four weeks. Typically, patients will lose between 15 to 25 inches with their fourweek treatment plan.

“We are very confident in our program and can guarantee in writing that we will help slim patients by at least 10 inches,” said Drake.

If you’re looking for tangible results, check out the Foundation for Integrated Health’s Laser Body Sculpting treatment online at www.laserbodysculpting.net or call them today at 604-988-7080.

I

n the heat of summer, we like to look at adding a little extra punch to our gardens, and there is one family of plants that has so much to offer but really doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

Canna lilies have been around for a long time, but with interesting new foliage colours and blossoms, they’re experiencing a huge resurgence. Canna leaves that resemble those of bananas and flowers that look like ginger lilies add a refreshing tropical touch to any container or garden bed. The problem is we don’t use enough of them.

I love cannas for their incredibly easy care.

They not only thrive in the heat of summer but also, like dahlias, will carry your garden well into November. From a single tuberous root, they will develop into huge clumps, making a magnificent display. They also come in low (18 inches or 45 cm), medium (three feet or 90 cm) and tall (six feet or 180 cm) sizes. Cannas can be used as foreground plantings or as giant background specimens.

Cannas add drama. Their striking leaf colours and variegations create an opportunity for some fabulous combinations.

There are dozens and dozens of canna varieties, but there are a few I’m really excited about. Black is still where it’s at, and there are a number of dark foliaged varieties. The master of black, however, is ‘Australia’. This rather slender and elegant grower has almost black leaves with brilliant orange-red flowers. It’s definitely a ‘wow’ plant in my book.

Perhaps the most stunning of all cannas are the yellow and green varieties which, by the way, are all very similar. Striped ‘Bengal Tiger’, with its rich orange flowers, was one of the very first of the intense yellow and green striped varieties.

‘Pretoria’ looks almost identical with melon orange blooms and leaves similar to ‘Bengal Tiger’ but with a tiny red margin on the outside of its leaves.

One of the most popular of all the striped varieties is ‘Tropicana’. It has intense green, orange and red striped foliage that changes intensity with the temperature and maturity of the leaves. Its orange flowers are a true complement to its leaf colour. It’s just a great plant.

Sometimes we simply get caught up in the foliage colours of cannas and overlook their exquisite blossoms.

Some, in particular, are breathtaking. ‘Cleopatra’, with its most unusual red and yellow patterns, is one of the most sought after flowering forms. Today there are a whole series of designer colours such as peach, apricot and pink shaded varieties that blend in with our current colour schemes.

Remember: Cannas are well suited to both container and garden bed planting. They add both depth and vibrancy to any garden, but most of all, they can instantly add a magical touch of the tropics.

Measles cases show up on the North Shore One infected patient here exposed shoppers in Bellingham JEFF NAGEL Black PrESS

T

hree Metro Vancouver residents have contracted measles and health officials are urging the public to ensure their immunizations are up to date to help prevent further spread of the virus.

The three cases to date are all on the North Shore or Bowen Island, but one of those patients went cross-border shopping in Bellingham last Saturday, potentially exposing people there to infection.

Vancouver Coastal Health officials are also tracing the three patients’ contacts on this side of the border to alert others who are at risk, but haven’t identified specific places in the Lower Mainland where the public was exposed.

“We’re not worried yet about a general community-level transmission,” said medical health officer Dr. Réka Gustasfon.

She called the cases unusual in that they’re the first locally acquired measles cases here since a 2010 outbreak.

Advice and vaccinations are being offered to anyone who may have been in contact with those infected, but Gustafson said anyone who is unsure about their measles immunization can get the vaccine for free from doctors and clinics.

Whatcom County’s Health Department issued its own alert Thursday, warning that someone ill with measles could have transmitted the virus to other shoppers on June 22 at the Bellingham Costco between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and also at Bellis Fair Mall between noon and 4 p.m.

Gustafson confirmed that exposure came from one of the Metro patients who visited Bellingham.

An unusual cluster of measles cases has arrived on the North Shore. Supplied photo “We informed individuals rather than the general public,” she said of exposures in B.C. “We feel we’ve been able to identify the highest risk contacts.”

Metro Vancouver rarely sees more than a single case of measles at a time, Gustafson said, because of the relatively high population immunity here.

But she noted there are neighbourhoods across the region where vaccination levels are lower and there’s a much higher risk of broader transmission within those pockets.

Measles are highly contagious starting one to two days before symptoms show up and continuing until four days after the classic measles rash begins.

The droplets from coughs and sneezes can remain airborne in a room for one to two hours after the infectious person has left, according to Whatcom officials.

It can take seven to 21 days for someone to come down with measles after they’ve been exposed.

“This means that patrons of Costco or Bellis Fair Mall could start to have symptoms between June 29 and July 13,” said the Whatcom alert.

There haven’t been any confirmed cases in Washington State, but an outbreak is ongoing in New York State.

Two doses of vaccine are required for lifelong measles immunity, and Gustafson said many people, particularly those 43 or younger, have had only one dose.

The disease is most serious for infants, who die at a rate of one for every 3,000 infections in developed countries. It’s much worse in the third world, which accounts for most of the 150,000 annual measles deaths worldwide.

The risk of fatalities as well as significant complications like pneumonia and brain inflammation is why health leaders encourage vaccination.

“If you have large outbreaks – thousands and thousands of cases – there will be deaths from measles,” Gustafson said.

Anyone who develops measles symptoms – starting with a fever, runny nose, cough and red, watery eyes – is urged to stay home and not expose others.

The rash develops after several days, first on the face and then spreading down to most of the body. It can last a week or more.

West Van on the hunt for new CAO TODD COYNE S TA f f R e p O RT e R

W

ith the quiet departure of former West Vancouver CAO Grant McRadu last Friday, the district is now in the heat of a summertime search for his replacement.

Now is not an ideal time to be hunting down holidaying high-level civil servants, and the retiring McRadu won’t be an easy CAO to replace, said two West Van councillors who spoke to The Outlook about his departure.

But given those two strikes against, the district has installed an interim chief in deputy CAO Brent Leigh and hired Vancouver-based executive search firm Pinton Forrest & Madden to lead the hunt for West Van’s next highest-paid staffer.

They began their search a couple weeks ago by interviewing all six councillors and Mayor Michael Smith about the kind of person they want for the job.

It’s expected the firm will cast their net widely for candidates, likely reaching out to the C-suites of municipal governments across B.C. and possibly the private sector. They will then have until the beginning of September to come to council with a short list of candidates who will then be interviewed by council and a winning applicant will be chosen.

McRadu came on board as the district’s chief administrator in May 2008, bringing 22 years of municipal government experience with him.

He is largely credited with pushing for the “activation of Ambleside,” an initiative to bring people, businesses and community events to the West Van waterfront.

The North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce is a local member-based business association. We bring people together to develop strong networks, to represent the interests of the business community and to foster economic development. We provide a range of services and benefits to our members such as discounted rates on common business expenses, we host networking and business events and we provide visitor information and promote our membership.

At 29, McRadu had been the youngest CAO in the province for Parksville, before the now Squamish resident took over as staff boss for the Sea-to-Sky town, followed by a stint as chief financial officer for Delta, where West Van found him five years ago.

“He interviewed us on council when we found him,” recalled long-sitting West Van councillor, Bill Soprovich. “Then he went and interviewed all the directors before even taking the job.”

Described by the six-term councillor as a thoughtful and pragmatic leader, McRadu was known to take the rare shift with more front-line municipal workers, whether manning a weed-whacker for a day or lending his voice to story time at the library. tcoyne@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/toddcoyne

t was a dream summer like no other and 20 years later it remains an unforgettable highlight in the young lives of 14 Lynn Valley Little Leaguers and their parents.

Making it all the way to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, for the Little League (age 11-12) World Series has been done only once by a North or West Van team since the first Little League began on the North Shore 60-plus years ago in 1952 at Jaycee Park (now Chris Zuehlke Memorial Park) tucked in behind the Mahon Park-Kinsmen Stadium-Confederation Park complex. That one World Series entry was Lynn Valley in 1993.

This year’s North Shore lencorben@yahoo.ca (B.C. District 5) tournament is underway now at Zuehlke Park. Teams representing seven leagues are vying for the title and a spot in the provincials in Kerrisdale and then, just maybe, a trip to the nationals in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, and even on to Williamsport.

It’s an annual dream to get to the World Series for thousands upon thousands of preteens from more than 100 countries, a dream that came true for Lynn Valley’s little lads in the summer of ’93 as most were about to move from elementary to secondary school.

It didn’t all come easily. Lynn Valley, under manager Eden Briscoe and coach Kathy Barnard, defeated Highlands 7-1, West Van 6-0 and Cypress Park 6-0 before being derailed 4-2

by Mt. Seymour during the district tourney.

That meant winning the remaining round-robin games versus NV Central 17-2, Howe Sound 12-2 and Forest Hills 7-5 in order to come up against Forest Hills again in the playoffs which they won 7-1 and 5-1.

Briscoe had faced a similar situation back in 1969 when he was a pitcher-catcher with the all-stars from North Van Jaycee (now NV Central), coached by Dave Empey and Chris Locke, when they claimed the district championship with two sudden-death victories over NV Rotary 7-1 and 12-1 after suffering an early

round 2-1 loss to Rotary.

As a player Briscoe and his team won two of four in the 1969 provincials in Whalley. In 1993, by coincidence, Briscoe and Lynn Valley were again playing the provincials in Whalley. The host club had racked up an enviable record of 15 district, five B.C and two Canadian titles in 26 years. Lynn Valley had never won the B.C.s.

In fact to that point only two local teams had ever won the provincials, Forest Hills in 1971 and NV Jaycees in 1972. Though both placed second in the Canadians, no North Shore team had ever qualified for the World Series.

However, the nine-team provincials belonged to Lynn Valley. Right-hander Clint Hosford, who would eventually play eight years of pro ball, mostly in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization, threw a no-hitter in the opening 21-0 victory over Comox. Southpaw Lloyd Haggard almost duplicated the feat with a one-hit, 3-0 win versus Whalley.

A 3-2 triumph over Vancouver’s Victoria Drive – thanks to two fine catches by right fielder Blake Anderson, a key play by shortstop Brian Briscoe with the go-ahead runs on base in the fifth inning and then Lynn Valley’s winning run in the bottom of the sixth and final frame – sent Lynn Valley into the sudden-death final against Whalley who had come through the losers round.

But again it was Haggard on the mound with a 4-1 win. In the fifth, Spencer Barnard knocked in two runs with a two-out, basesloaded double. Later that inning, first baseman Scott Carlson doubled home two more.

Whalley’s run came too little, too late, in the sixth.

There were more than just wins celebrated by Lynn Valley during the B.C.s. Briscoe turned 12 on July 30, the day before the provincials began. Tyler Lentsch turned 12 on Aug. 4. Carlson had his 13th birthday Aug. 6, the day of the Victoria Drive win and Hosford

‘We will not let them win,’ Clark says TOM FLETCHER BlaCk Press

VICTORIA – An attempted terrorist attack using three homemade bombs placed around the B.C. legislature was apparently an effort to do maximum damage as thousands gathered for Canada Day ceremonies, Premier Christy Clark said Tuesday.

“My suspicion is they wanted to do as much damage as they possibly could,” Clark told reporters in front of the legislature. “They want to take control of our streets, our cities and our institutions.”

Clark said she heard about the plot to place pressure-cooker bombs on Monday, as police were monitoring the placement of devices they had already disabled. Police assured her there was never a threat to the 40,000 people who gathered in downtown Victoria for Canada Day concerts and fireworks.

As tourists explored the hallways

of the legislature Tuesday, Clark said the intents of such attacks is to instil fear and anger in the public.

“We cannot let this change who we are,” Clark said. “We will not let them win.”

Surrey residents John Stewart Nuttall and Amanda Marie Korody were arrested in Abbotsford Monday afternoon in a surveillance operation co-ordinated by the RCMP, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the Canadian Border Services Agency.

Charges and dates indicate the pair were being observed as they prepared pressure-cooker explosives similar to those used at the finish area of the Boston Marathon April 15.

Clark said she was relieved by police reports that the suspects were “self-radicalized” and not working with any foreign organizations.

Leak forces another shutdown of Kinder Morgan oil pipeline Trans Mountain pipe failed near Hope, releasing 20-25 barrels JEFF NAGEL Black PrEss

F

or the second time in a month, Kinder Morgan shut down its Trans Mountain oil pipeline after the discovery of a leak, this time near

Hope.

An estimated 20 to 25 barrels seeped from a small defect in the pipeline 40 kilometres east of Hope near Highway 5, company officials said last Thursday (June 27).

Crews were expected to finish repairing the pipe and removing contaminated soil on June 27, allowing the pipeline to reopen.

“There was no risk to human health or safety and there was no product that was identified in waterways and no wildlife has been affected,” Kinder Morgan Canada spokesman Andrew Galarnyk said.

Kinder Morgan detected what it called “a small amount of petroleum product in the soil around the pipe” after performing a routine investigative dig on a section of the pipeline that had been flagged for an integrity check.

The pipeline was shut down June 26 after the leak was discovered and Kinder Morgan notified the National Energy Board.

The pipeline carries various petroleum products – including regular crude oil, heavy diluted bitumen from the oil sands and refined gasoline – but Galarnyk wasn’t yet able to say for sure what material leaked or for how long.

The latest incident comes just two weeks after the

company halted the flow of oil in the pipeline on June 12 to repair a leaking section near Merritt. About six barrels of oil is said to have gradually seeped out there but did not enter any water courses.

Both leaks were discovered through the use of monitoring devices that move through the pipeline in search of anomalies.

“That’s the whole idea behind integrity programs,” Galarnyk said. “We are running these tools and when they do identify things that we need to look at further, we make sure we get those into priority sequence to address them.”

Black Press asked exactly when instruments detected the anomalies at each of the two leak sites – in other words how much time elapsed between a potential problem first being red-flagged and crews arriving to investigate and take action.

Galarnyk said he did not have that information at hand and would have to “see what we can provide.”

Kinder Morgan is conducting an open house today in Burnaby to unveil the probable route of its proposed pipeline expansion through that community.

The company is proposing to twin the line that diagonals southwest from northern Alberta to the Lower Mainland.

The $5.4-billion project would triple Trans Mountain’s capacity to 890,000 barrels per day and result in a huge increase to about 400 oil tankers per year transiting Burrard Inlet.

The National Energy Board says it has deployed its Emergency Response Team to monitor and assess the company’s response, investigation and cleanup.

The NEB said it will investigate both the Hope and Merritt leaks to determine whether they are isolated incidents or share similarities.

Work near Jasper on twinning of part of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline in 2008.

File photo

Groups opposing the pipeline twinning said problems seem to be happening with alarming frequency.

“It’s a very small leak and it’s only one of the 80 some odd we’ve had in the lifespan of the pipeline,” said Michael Hale of the Pipe Up network. “But it sends the message we’re going to have leaks and spills.”

He questioned why the region should take on the risk of heavy bitumen escaping.

“Every time there is a leak from a pipeline, no matter how large, it is damaging to the environment,” said Tsleil-Waututh Nation Chief Maureen Thomas in North Vancouver. “Kinder Morgan says it’s using the latest and best technology. But the truth is they can’t eliminate the risk.” twitter.com/nsoutlook

By 2008 he’d reached a point in his life — former executive with the Florida Marlins, Montreal Expos and Washington Capitals; Sporting News Minor League Executive of the Year and two-time winner of Florida State League Executive of the Year — when he realized success didn’t equal happiness. That’s when he was lured to the city by the team’s enthusiastic new owners, Jeff Mooney and Jake Kerr. The Vancouver Canadians might be a minor league team but they’re in a city with major love for the game and that’s what counts most for him.

“I want to be with people I like, and trust,” he says. “If you find

someplace you have happiness, hang onto it.”

Vancouver is that place. And he’s Vancouver’s man when it comes to upping the game on the field and off. “We want to be your team,” he says. “We want to grow this community a baseball team they can be proud of.”

As part of his goal to continually break attendance records at the stadium he helped refurbish, Dunn also wants to preserve the glory days of baseball. “Kids should have heroes,” he says, “and I think the guys on the field should remember that.”

Car enthusiasts revved up for vintage car show on Bowen Car show part the annual Steamship Days celebration SUSANNE MARTIN BlAck PrESS

S

ome acquaintances don’t approve when John Willis takes Jenny out. And he takes her out a lot. His wife Gudrun also wasn’t fond of Jenny when she first came into John’s life but that was less due to jealousy and had more to do with the money that John spent (and spends) on Jenny.

But recently, since Jenny has been rebuilt and has become a more dependable mode of transportation, Gudrun has softened toward the 1931 Model A two-door Ford, says John. On July 13, John will take Jenny to a special outing — a ride on the ferry to Bowen Island. Jenny will be part of a vintage car show with 15 other old-timers for the Steamship Days (steamshipdays.com), a four-day celebration of Bowen’s heritage and reputation as “happy isle.”

John bought the car four years ago. “I had looked for about three years and found it four years ago on Whidbey Island,” John says, adding that Jenny hadn’t been such a pretty sight then. The car had been sitting in a barn for 20 years and people had come and gone, borrowing parts and replacing them with others that didn’t necessarily fit.

Most of the windows were broken and, of course, she didn’t run.

Gudrun had known that John wanted a vintage car. “Don’t you go buying any of those old cars,” she had told him but when he came home with a big grin on his face, she knew something was up. “You didn’t, did you?” John remembers her asking. And he had to take Gudrun to see the car right away. She wasn’t impressed and told him that he needed to get his money back.

“My wife is tight-fisted,” John says (in a loving manner). “And she called it the world’s most expensive Model A.” Yet to John, Jenny is worth it. “It’s my hobby and it’s a lot of fun.”

At first, Gudrun described riding in the old-timer as “shake, rattle and roll” but John has rebuilt all the running gears and put in new breaks.

“It’s taken three years of hard work to

restore the car,” he says, adding it can be a challenge to get help. “[Vintage cars] are very sturdy and that can be a problem when you need to get body work done,” he said.

“The metal is so heavy. Compared to that, new cars are like beer cans. Old cars are rugged, that is why we still have a few of them around.”

John believes the cars had to be solidly built because the roads were rough back then. And the cars were made to last.

“The engines are very reliable if you drive them the right way,” he says. And the right way of driving a Model A means a speed of 40 to 45 miles per hour. “If you push it to 50 all the time, you probably have engine trouble at the end of the year,” he said, adding that crossing the Second Narrows Bridge means driving on the far right side. “If we go in a group, we usually have a sign at the back that says: caution, vintage cars ahead!”

John said.

The Ford Model A was produced for four years and 1931 was the last year it was built. John believes that there weren’t many cars on the road as only a few people could afford to buy them in the years following the depression of 1929. And the simpler technology has made it possible for John to do much of the repairs himself. There is no doubt that he is proud of Jenny but he also admits that she will have some competition at the vintage car event taking place on Bowen Island on July 13.

“I’ve got a 1911 Rolls Royce booked to come to Bowen Island,” says Willis, who also organized last year’s event. “It’s either the oldest or second oldest Rolls in B.C. It’s an absolutely beautiful car with a shiny brass radiator.”

About 15 cars are lined up to be part of the Steamship Days celebration and John has spent considerable time bringing them together. “I’ve contacted four major car clubs in B.C. That took a lot of work,” he said, adding that very few vintage cars are driven on a day to day basis. “In Vancouver, we don’t want to take the cars out in the rain.

For one thing, the tires are narrower so the cars don’t stop as quickly in wet conditions.

And you don’t want to bust them up because they can’t be replaced,” he said. twitter.com/nsoutlook

became 13 on Aug. 8, the day of the final game. Talk about a 10-day party.

The Canadians were slated for St. John, New Brunswick, beginning Aug. 13.

Suddenly parents and other relatives were faced with decisions on how to get off work and how to get all the way across the country. A dozen or so flew but five members of Shaun Layton’s and Marc Rouleau’s families drove a van 3,600 miles (that’s 5,800 kilometres folks) non-stop and arrived just before the opening game. Talk about a road trip.

In the opener against Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Hosford pitched a nine-inning, 2-0 shutout. Briscoe doubled home Haggard and also scored in the top of the third extra inning. Hosford struck out the side in the bottom half to end it. This victory was no small feat because Glace Bay had copped three of the previous six Canadian championships, had placed second the year before and would win again in 1994.

Game two opponent was Valleyfield, Quebec, winners of their record eighth Canadian title in 1992.

The first inning provided a scary moment when Haggard, pitching, was hit in the chest by a line drive. He collapsed after getting the out at first and

was taken to hospital in an ambulance. Valleyfield won 4-1 but Haggard was out of hospital before nightfall.

Needing wins in their next games to reach the championship tilt, Lynn Valley responded by downing host St. John 12-2, Orleans of Ontario 21-1 and Edmonton 3-0 with Haggard and Briscoe combining for a no-hitter. Another birthday, Anderson’s 13th on Aug. 18, came the next day.

In a superbly played final in front of 2,000, Hosford struck out 13 and Haggard hit a two-out, solo homer in the fifth for a 2-0 lead and an eventual 2-1 victory.

Williamsport was now on the team’s itinerary and parents scrambled once more for time away from work and home duties. With the World Series starting in three days, the Rouleaus’ van was driven another 1,300 kilometres. Others flew to Toronto and rented a car for a shorter drive while some took direct flights. Still others arrived from Vancouver.

Playing some of the strongest teams in the entire world, Lynn Valley dropped a 6-0 decision to Latin America champs David, Panama, in its first World Series game. They rebounded for an 8-1 win over European reps Kaiserslautern, Germany, on Anderson’s three-run homer in the fifth when the score stood just 2-1. Garapan, Saipan, from Asia, stole

the third game from Lynn Valley 4-3 with a two-run single in the bottom of the final inning. A Lynn Valley win would have put them in the International division final won by Panama who then fell 3-2 to Long Beach, California, for the championship.

The Canadian cap worn by Kathy Barnard during the World Series became part of the Little League Museum located on the Williamsport grounds. She was the first woman to coach a team in the World Series. Like a number of the players who still play baseball or softball today, Kathy slid into third in a softball game not long ago. When she looked up, it was Simon Pond covering the bag. Pond went through the Lynn Valley Little League a few years before 1993 and played 13 seasons professionally including 2004 with Toronto Blue Jays. Hosford’s eight years in the pros is the next best for a Lynn Valley ballplayer.

Others from ’93 who played beyond high school: Barnard for UBC, Briscoe at Peru State in Nebraska and Rouleau at Douglas College and Southern Idaho.

I managed to contact almost every player and both coaches this past week. They all loved reliving those days.

Spencer Barnard summed up their once-in-a-lifetime adventure, saying, “That season, it was just the – how do I word this? – the magnitude of the World Series and how much attention it gathered, not only throughout the United States, but world wide. You want to get there. Then when you do, you had no idea what a big deal it is… the crowds, signing autographs at 12 years old. It’s an extraordinary experience; I’ll never forget it ever. Every year in August – and it’s been 20 years – it’s a fresh dose of nostalgia every time it’s on television.”

So how cool is that?
