Goos’ killer is appealing parole denial

Ansari applied for full parole in August Jane Seyd

jseyd@nsnews.com

THE father of a West Vancouver man stabbed to death by his friend says he is still hopeful his son’s killer will serve two-thirds of his sentence behind bars. Ron Goos, father of Josh Goos, said he doesn’t think the National Parole Board will release Sasan Ansari early, based on what he heard at Ansari’s recent parole hearing. “They’re very aware of who he is,” said Goos. Ansari, who was convicted of killing Josh Goos by stabbing him more than 30 times in the parking lot of the Hollyburn Country Club in 2006, is appealing a decision by the National Parole Board to deny him early parole. Ansari has ﬁled an appeal with both the parole board and with the Federal Court, requesting a judicial review of the parole board’s decision on Aug. 13 to turn down his requests for both full parole and day parole. Ansari was convicted of manslaughter in December 2008 and handed a ﬁveyear jail sentence in the killing of his former high school friend outside the West Vancouver country club. The two men had fallen out over a $90,000 loan Goos had made to Ansari and wanted him to repay. Some of the violent attack was captured on video surveillance cameras at the club. Afterwards, Ansari phoned his brother four times, and disposed of See Victim’s page 11

Recall campaign could target MLAs Thornthwaite, McIntyre Jane Seyd

jseyd@nsnews.com

ANTI-HST campaigners say they’re giving North Shore voters a chance to vote two of their MLAs “off the island” after both Jane Thornthwaite and Joan McIntyre were named this week in a “hit list” of 18 MLAs being targeted for potential recall.

ENGINEER Michael Roberts wonders why no thought has been given to repurposing the iconic Capilano Blue Bridge slated for demolition early next year. See story page 3.

Ridings held by the two Liberal politicians are among those taking part in a contest by anti-HST forces to recruit the most canvassers in preparation for potential recall campaigns. Anti-HST campaigners have vowed recall campaigns will begin in January in ridings that sign up the most volunteers. The anti-HST forces say they’ll continue to put the pressure on unless the provincial government changes the law to make next year’s HST referendum legally binding. But the bar to recall an MLA — signatures of 40 per cent of registered voters See Recall page 5

MICHAEL Roberts checks out the re-siting of the Blue Bridge, moved upstream while a new three-lane west-bound bridge is built. The project is part of the $40-million Marine Drive Transit Priority Project — the largest project to be funded by the Canada-B.C Infrastructure Partnership. The span on the right is the original 1930 bridge.

WHY NOT PRESERVE THE CAPILANO BLUE BRIDGE?

Connecting past and future

Michael Roberts

Contributing Writer

FOR 20 years, I’ve driven from downtown over the Capilano Bridge.

It’s always been a milestone — signifying the crossing from one community into another. As children, seeing the metal chords crisscrossing above the deck and all around our vehicle was magic. Recently I found out that this historic Capilano Bridge was to be demolished and replaced by a new, bland, cement viaduct. It caused me to wonder why we would be willing to lose this historic bridge. Does anyone else feel that the demolition of this unique icon may take with it a significant piece of the community’s spirit and pride of past achievements? We are all quite aware that the bridge maintenance program was abandoned years ago; the bridge exterior left to quickly deteriorate like any unkempt home. Was this to make the case easier for public acceptance in replacing it? Surely, our communities are not that superficial. Perplexed, I decided to dig deeper to find out more about the bridge, its history and the planned replacement in order to try and understand what is so wrong with the current bridge that it must be sold for scrap. From a visit to West Vancouver Archives, it turns out that, prior to the current-day bridge, a concrete viaduct had actually been built and opened by then premier, Sir Richard McBride in 1915. However, the beautifully detailed structure was partially destroyed by one of the Capilano River’s characteristically powerful flash floods only one year after opening which stymied West Vancouver’s economic growth and development for many following years. Following years of lobbying for a more secure and permanent

THE peeling paint on the Blue Bridge has made it something of an eyesore in recent years. link over the Capilano river, the eastern-most span of today’s two-span Blue Bridge was actually built as a 77-metre (250-foot) single-span bridge constructed and opened in 1930 by then premier Simon Fraser Tolmie, announced as the longest bridge of its type in British Columbia. At the time, it was an impressive engineering and construction accomplishment that he personally applauded. During the grand opening ceremonies, Premier Tolmie

extolled the bridge as “a testament to the skill, determination and innovation of the local talents that had seen it built.” A jewel in the crown of the scenic Marine Drive highway, the bridge stood as a symbol of engineering strength and innovation and provided much needed access over what had seemed an “untameable river.” To date, the only public consultation, held on Aug. 12, was to announce premeditated plans for the bridge’s replacement and to request feedback for the design and detailing of the new bridge. I am astounded that there has been no formal community consultation, discussion or investigation of the values of this historic bridge. Let’s at least explore continuation of its service life, or adapt it to a future use with a creative alternate plan. There is little time to lose. Major funding for the bridge’s replacement comes from federal “stimulus money” that has a mandate of imposing a hasty political deadline for completion by March 2011. This nine-month process has the effect of essentially eliminating, for lack of time, any reasonable timing for public input and discussion of the heritage value of a bridge that has stood strong and served the public for more than 80 years. I find it unlikely that this bridge has so little value to the people that have crossed it over the years that its impending loss does not warrant any meaningful discussion for some understanding beyond the superficiality of an abandoned maintenance program. Surely we can find excellent and worthwhile alternatives to the demolition of this amazing icon of engineering accomplishment rooted in our history that promote a more respectful and sustainable solution.

Recall requires 40% of voters From page 1

— is signiﬁcantly higher than the 10 per cent of voters required to force an issue to referendum. OrganizersinThornthwaite’s riding previously gathered signatures of between 15 and 16 per cent of voters on anti-HST petitions approved by Elections B.C. Eddie Petrossian, a former Conservative candidate who is leading the anti-HST campaign in North Vancouver, said he still thinks a recall campaign is “very do-able . . . the numbers look good on the ground.” Petrossian said he’s received “a ton of email and phone calls” from constituents with concerns about North Vancouver-Seymour MLA Jane Thornthwaite. “She was part of the government that misled the people,” he said. “None of them spoke out.” Petrossian said in Thornthwaite’s case, further voter dissatisfaction has been fuelled by the MLA pleading not guilty in court to charges of drunk driving when she previously issued a statement saying she was taking responsibility for her error in judgment after being stopped by police following an Olympic gala. ButPetrossianacknowledged recall campaigns are more likely to start away from the

North Shore, where ridings are generally considered safe Liberal seats. To that end, Petrossian said a number of North Shore volunteers have agreed to work on campaigns in other areas if necessary. “I’m very mobile,” he said. Thornthwaite said she’s more concerned that recall campaigns will “detract from the business of government” than of losing her seat in one. “We’ve addressed the issues people were concerned about,” she said, referring to next year’s referendum. “I think the organizers (of the recall campaigns) are just trying to relive the last election.” Thornthwaite said she doesn’t think the impaired driving charges she faces will

have any bearing on a recall campaign, saying she’s already addressed the topic in public statements. “What I’m trying to do is my job,” she said. “We’re not even half way through our mandate.” In addition to Thornthwaite, West Vancouver’s MLA Joan McIntyre was an unexpected addition to the recall “hit list” announced Monday. “It was a bit of a surprise to me,” said McIntyre, who described the Survivor-style contest as “a distraction from the real issues.” Fourteen per cent of voters in McIntyre’s West VancouverSea-to-Sky riding signed the

anti-HST petition. Kelly Carson, an antiHST organizer who lives in Horseshoe Bay and works for B.C. Ferries, said she’s pleased to see McIntyre added to the list, partly because West Vancouver has always been considered such a safe Liberal riding. “I’ve started our spreadsheet,” said Carson. “I want to make sure I have 200 canvassers.” Carson said she’s willing to gather signatures because “I’m strongly opposed to how they brought out the HST. “I don’t like knocking on doors,” she said. “But for this I will.” McIntyre said she welcomes a debate on the HST. “I’m interested in what the other 85 per cent of people have to say,” she said, referring to the 15 per cent of voters who signed petitions forcing the issue to referendum. McIntyre said she still believes the HST is the right tax policy, because of its impact on large industries like forestry and mining that the province still relies on to ﬁll its coffers and fund social programs. The MLA also said the year leading up to the referendum will allow for “a much more informed debate about the issues.”

Security blanket

RIME Minister Stephen Harper is making a big push to get Canada elected to the United Nations Security Council. The prime minister openly pitched the True North in a speech in New York Thursday, and surely there is a corresponding amount of international horse trading going on behind the scenes. It’s an unexpected effort from a government that has shown little interest in the UN and, frankly, not a great deal of interest in foreign policy as a whole. On most of the big global issues — climate change, trade, conﬂict in the Middle East — the Conservatives seem fairly content to tread whatever path the Americans are taking. While not particularly inspiring, this is a policy rooted in realism. So why the sudden urge to sit at the grown-ups’ table? How will Canadians

you said it

“This is a shitty proposition and it’s not of our making.” District of North Vancouver Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn comments on the prospect of North Shore taxpayers picking up the $400-million bill for a new sewage treatment plant. The provincial and federal governments have not yet offered any contributions (from a Sept. 22 news story).

••• “That border has no practical relevance to the public, but what does have relevance is the 108 jobs that will disappear if we are unsuccessful in relocating.” Mark James, owner of Taylor’s Crossing, makes his case for moving the pub’s liquor store from the District of North Vancouver into a mall in the city. Council refused his request (from a Sept. 22 news story). ••• “I think this answers the ageold question: Can you ﬁght city hall? Well, yes, you can.” City of North Vancouver Coun. Rod Clark applauds Keith Road residents for speaking out against a planned multi-use path which they thought would be unsafe. The city has delayed the project indeﬁnitely (from a Sept. 24 news story).

be better off by having a vote on the most important issues confronting the international community? In short, we won’t. There’s a certain patriotic satisfaction to seeing Canada move in the most senior of circles at the UN, but let’s be honest: When has a Security Council resolution mattered to anyone? Whenever Iran, or North Korea or another wayward state does something dangerous, there’s a predictable “condemnation” and then exactly nothing happens. Council resolutions add a nice air of legitimacy when the Americans really want to crack heads together, but it’s not like they won’t go to war without one. So perhaps it’s not that big a departure for Harper after all. Even if Canada does win a two-year term, don’t expect us to fall out of step with our cousins to the south.

Cap U holds to community access

CAPS and gowns! Chancellors! Oh my!

Capilano University must be so very uppity and proper now that it has dropped the somewhat pedestrian terminology of “community” and “college” from its name. The moniker “university” just is not as welcoming to those of us who lived in Lower Lonsdale. We did not exactly reside on the Ringside other side of the tracks, but some Bill Bell of us could feel the vibration of shunting trains as if they were in our very bedrooms. Few of us who called home south of Keith Road in those post-’60s hippie days gave any thought to going on to a university. “Working class” was still a common phrase to describe your parents and a good job came with a union label: the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, International Woodworkers of America, and Steelworkers to name but a few. Then in the early ’70s came a great experiment in higher education. The government brought colleges to the community, reaching out to those who thought that university was just for the privileged. Many of my friends gave it a shot. For the ﬁrst time we fell in love with learning. It was thanks to excellent instructors like Ed Lavalle, Paul Myers, Sonja Sanguinetti, Crawford Killian, Stan Persky, Paul Avery and Pierre Coupey. They were just a few of the many extraordinary instructors in

the early years and those teachers gave Capilano a reputation for quality, accessible academic learning. I admit I am sounding like a broken record. Gone is Capilano Community College and Capilano University is now a reality. Lower Lonsdale looks more like an upscale West End than a place where scruffy hooky-playing street kids hung out playing pool at Max’s Billiard Hall with Seat even scruffier Burrard Drydock workers. Still, even though change is inevitable, I did not want to believe that my old alma mater, now a newly minted university, was about to set up the usual post-secondary barriers that I spent much of my life trying to tear down. So when I drove up to Capilano University with my tape recorder in hand to interview the new president Dr. Kris Bulcroft, my goal was to set her straight. It was a bit presumptuous on my part, given her extensive background in higher education, including being the recipient of several prestigious Fulbright awards. I walked into her office like a cocky little street fighter gunning for a proverbial down-and-out slugfest. However, to my surprise she had disarmed me before I had time to turn on the recorder. I was going to be in the student seat during this interview. “I was a first-generation college student myself,

so I have a very deep commitment to ensuring that students who want an education gain access,” Bulcroft said. “One of my goals here at Cap is having a system that is accessible in more ways than just opening the door, but is also accessible to students who are here. You know that if your daughter went here and you went here, this is an institution that wants its students to succeed.” OK, so after a half hour Bulcroft had me convinced that I was wrong, or perhaps did not have all the information to make an informed decision on the necessity for change. Despite no longer being in its name, Capilano University considers the North Shore “community” very important. “I am excited to lead a university that has such a long and proud history of connecting education with the community,” Bulcroft said. Still, Bulcroft concedes that “market forces” from employers of graduates and the increasing demands of foreign students do place pressure on the institution to move forward. “Where employers once wanted graduates with diplomas, they now demand a bachelor degree,” Bulcroft said. Bulcroft appears to be the real deal. A sociologist that specialized in the family, she was dragged “kicking and screaming” into academic administration because she was “good at it.” “I really loved teaching,” but one thing led to another for the new president. Now her task is to lead Capilano University into a new phase in its life, to become one of the “world’s top teaching universities.” See HST’s page 9

I say, put the fountain on Lonsdale

WHY is science such a killjoy? Why can’t its stern adherents leave the rest of us to our happy delusions?

Ordinarily, scientists stay well away from people like me, by tacit mutual agreement. Their strict reliance on “facts” and “proof” only serves to annoy us less cut-and-dried types, while our airy-fairy beliefs — gleaned from fortune cookies and Shopaholic novels — makes them grind their pointy teeth to stumps. Sometimes, though, the Poindexters must be given their say, and so it is on the topic of the Fountain of Youth, a subject I found myself anxiously Googling the other day. We have been inundated with propaganda suggesting that the famed Fountain exists. Examples abound. The ability of oldsters to boost our foundering brainpower is a carrot that’s dangled before us in infomercials and Oprah magazine alike. Male or female, if you use a computer, you get spam advising you that a simple purchase of Viagra will give even the creakiest senior the impetus of a satyr. Meanwhile, I get news releases promising that various potions will shave years off my thighs and pounds off my calendar. TV ads tell us that balding middle-aged men who regularly apply potions to their scalps will get so hirsute

Going Coastal

Kate Zimmerman they’ll be beating randy secretaries off with a stick. Evidently, we’re greedy for hope. We don’t necessarily mind getting older, we just mind looking and feeling that way. Have a gander at the actors over 40 on television now. Few of these stars have the capability to furrow a brow; their faces are almost completely blank from serial Botox injections. Watch for signs of life above the lips on the entire cast of Private Practice, or on Julianna Margulies, 44, in The Good Wife. Virginia Madsen, 49, who starred in Sideways, actually appears in an advertisement for Botox that hangs in my doctor’s ofﬁce. Actors get paid to convince us of their emotions; you’d think mobile facial features would be crucial to that goal. We humans are hardly new at this age avoidance game. Scientiﬁc American claimed in a Dec. 29, 2008 article that “efforts to combat aging and extend human life date at least as far back as 3500 BC, and

self-proclaimed experts have touted anti-aging elixirs ever since.” Not content to watch, amused, from the sidelines as the rest of us make fools of ourselves by plumping our faces with chemicals and toxins, Scientiﬁc American gathered 51 scientists who studied aging to deﬁnitively proclaim that there is no such thing as a Fountain of Youth. The reason for their concern, the article said, was the “disturbingly large number of entrepreneurs” who are now “luring gullible and frequently desperate customers of all ages to ‘longevity clinics,’” and shilling their wares on an ungovernable Internet. The conclusion of this piece was that “anyone purporting to offer an anti-aging product today is either mistaken or lying.” You cannot reverse the aging process, the scientists insisted. This seems to contradict countless experts like the doctors who just published a tome called Stay Young: 10 Proven Steps to Ultimate Health. This book’s

advice (according to a news release) revolves around habits like regular exercise, reducing stress and getting enough sleep. Stay Young is clearly a much sexier title to self-involved Baby Boomers than anything suggesting that we age gracefully. As we leave 40 or 50 or 60 in the rear-view mirror, though, we probably should accept the fact that some day, we won’t be able to squeeze into our teenager’s tube tops, master skateboarding, or even hear the news at a normal volume. Once that’s the case, we’ll have to shufﬂe our mindset along and attempt to relinquish our fear of aging. Fortunately, there are instructions on how to do this at www.ehow.com. This Internet spring of how-to wisdom offers many tips on the subject, as it does for everything from How to Buy a Hot Dog Stand to How to Stop Being Depressed by the News. I pass along its expertise to you, dear reader, gratis. I should point out, however, that for this particular undertaking, ehow.

The WVPD launched the response at about 3:30 p.m. Thursday when a resident reported two people loading TVs into the back of a car in the 1700-block of Inglewood Avenue. Their descriptions matched those of individuals in the force’s prolific offender database. By the time the police arrived, the suspects had already taken off, so the call was relayed to the RCMP’s Air 2 helicopter and to other West Vancouver patrol teams, who set up roadblocks at access points to the municipality, bringing traffic to a crawl. The aircraft soon spotted the suspects’ car, a Volkswagen Jetta, racing into the Park Royal shopping centre. A short time later, mall security found it abandoned in the parking lot. Police surrounded the area and cut off exits while officers entered the facility on foot. A plainclothes member eventually spotted a man and woman matching the suspects’ description in Winners and started to

The uniformed officer chased down the man and struggled with him, finally taking him into custody. The woman and a third individual also believed to have been in the vehicle were never found. The car turned out to be stolen, its plates lifted from another vehicle. Inside, officers found a pair of computers and other property taken from the home. Harpinder Shergill, 31, of New Westminster, has been charged with break and enter, possession of stolen property, possession of a weapon (bear spray), resisting arrest, assault on a police officer and violation of his probation. Investigators believe they have identified the other two suspects and are seeking warrants for their arrest. Anyone who witnessed the alleged break-in or who has other information about the incident is asked to contact the WVPD at 604-925-7300.

First city coach house OK’d under new rules Benjamin Alldritt

balldritt@nsnews.com

A City of North Vancouver homeowner won unanimous approval from council Monday for his plan to build a coach house in his backyard, the first such project to be considered since the city adopted coach house regulations in April. Greg Cormier sought permission to build an 843-squarefoot, 21.5-feet-tall home in the rear of his property in the 700block of East Third Street. The plans fell into the city’s larger “Level B” category, requiring Cormier to consult with his neighbours and attend a public meeting in council chambers. Cormier said he had spoken personally with about 40 of the 50 homeowners living with 100 metres of his lot. The issue of coach housing in the city was the subject of three years of study, deliberation and heated debate, often pitting housing advocates against defenders of single-family-home neighbourhoods. “I’m not sure if I should be excited or nervous about being the first,” Cormier told councillors. Although the city clerk circulated a handful of emails opposing the coach house, Monday’s meeting was as anticlimactic as could be. Following a brief presentation from city staff and another from Cormier himself, nobody in the gallery accepted Mayor Darrell Mussatto’s invitation to comment on the plans. City councillors had no questions or comments and waved through the required permits by a decisive 7-0 vote. “I’m pleased to support this,” Coun. Craig Keating offered finally. “The most important thing is that Mr. Cormier put in so much work trying to work with his community and his neighbours. . . . That’s really how the city works: neighbours getting along, rather than the regulations that we have.”

Well, she now has one less detractor out there; I hope she gets her wish. Still you will not ever catch me in one of those gowns and funny square hats. ••• While history was being made in British Columbia Supreme Court with some very signiﬁcant rulings on the HST by Chief Justice Robert Bauman, many North Shore residents may not be aware of the long connection that the judge has with our community. Bauman spent many nights at both City and District of North Vancouver council meetings as their

solicitor. He worked for Bull Housser & Tupper between 1982 and 1996, when he was appointed to the B.C. Supreme Court. His very charming wife of 36 years, Sue Bauman, is the executive director of Family Services of the North Shore and was on the North Shore Court and Youth Justice Committee for many years. I always thought that Robert was a little too smart for his britches, but reading some of his recent judgments I have to concede I was wrong once again. We are very fortunate to have such a common- (and legal) sense Chief Justice in a province full of political nutcases. bill@onthe roadin.com

(That, and accidentally peeing yourself while coughing.) I’m not sure that most of us want to get our anti-aging advice from the vacuous eHow or the energetic proponents of parkour for seniors. But I did gain some insight from the website of The Sedona Method, a holistic lifestyle improvement program. It claims that when 39,000 people from 31 nations were asked what they most feared about aging, Americans said loss of energy and memory; Germans cited lack of alertness; and Thais said fading eyesight. If polled, I ﬁgured, Canadians would say, “Starting to look like John Diefenbaker.” Then it dawned on me that I could never look like our 13th prime minister — because I wear glasses. Crisis averted. kate@katezimmerman.ca

motherlode of cotton candy as an experiment, I was still fundamentally opposed to it. So I leapt into cyberspace, to an article headlined Parkour and the Fear of Aging, on a website called www.parkourgenerations.com. Are you familiar with parkour? It’s the practice of running and jumping from ledge to wall to both horizontal and vertical surfaces like Spiderman, without any supporting webs. It’s quite astonishing to watch on video, the only place I’ve ever witnessed it. Parkourgenerations.com says we the aging-averse ought to heed Dostoyevsky, who apparently wrote, “Taking a new step is what people fear most.” But I would add to that, “Taking a new step that, if missed, will plunge you six stories down into a ratinfested dumpster is what people fear most.”

The board in its reasons also considered information not previously heard in court, including his detention as a suspect for assault with a weapon in Vancouver in 2002 and for allegedly soliciting a teenaged boy for sexual purposes in the U.S. in 2003 — offences for which Ansari was never charged or convicted. The board also considered Ansari’s response to this information. In reaching its conclusion, the board voiced concern that

the murder weapon and his clothing. During the trial, Ansari admitted he had killed Goos but relied on a defence of automatism, saying he had no memory of the actual stabbing or of what happened after. The B.C. Court of Appeal later rejected a Crown appeal to increase Ansari’s sentence to eight years. Ansari became eligible to apply for day parole in February of this year and to apply for full parole on Aug. 5. But following a hearing in August, the parole board turned him down, on the grounds he could still pose some risk to reoffend. Goos’ parents attended the parole hearing, as did Ansari’s family. Ron Goos said nothing he heard at the hearing changed his mind about Ansari. “I just want to see him show some sign of remorse for what he did and I don’t see it,” he said. In its decision, the parole board considered details of the killing, as well as several psychological reports. Institutional staff spoke highly of Ansari’s intelligence and his behaviour as a model prisoner who is respectful with staff, has tutored other inmates, does

Ansari has not yet completed a program for violent offenders, saying comments from program facilitators would provide an objective evaluation of his ability to address risk factors for violence. It also noted a report completed in February of this year by a prison psychologist who said Ansari “(lacks) victim empathy” and still presents a “low to moderate risk for future violence, especially gratuitous violence.” The board denied Ansari parole, saying in the interests of public safety, he needs to complete rehabilitation programs before being let out of jail. In his appeal, Ansari has asked the federal court to give him a new hearing before a new parole board panel, saying the board was biased against him, had failed to “accept the findings of the court” about whether Ansari presented an “undue risk to reoffend” and that prison officials had refused to allow Ansari into the violent offender program the parole board later deemed necessary for early release. Ansari’s lawyer, John Conroy, said Ansari has also filed a complaint about the prison psychologist who conducted the February assessment.

The North Shore Stroke Recovery Centre, which offers a variety of programming to assist stroke survivors and their families in their respective recovery journeys, has recently been awarded funding through the federal government’s New Horizons for Seniors Program. According to the centre’s executive director Liina MacPherson, the funding will allow them to fill a need they feel exists on the North Shore. “What I see and hear over and over is that we have all these folks who used to do art or would like to try art that have one disability or another,” says MacPherson, who is also an artist and art therapist. “The typical art class is not necessarily a good fit. Neither are some of the volunteer-led artist groups.” In response to this need, the centre is launching a free

program, entitled Seniors Leading Peers in Creating Elder Community Expressions. Its goal is to train senior artists to lead art groups comprised of people with disabilities — physical and/or cognitive, like stroke survivors. The overall goal is to create opportunities for artistic expression as well as help both leaders and participants remain active in the community by providing them with a means of increasing their social circles and connect with their peers, says MacPherson. Volunteer leaders are currently being sought, ages 55 and up, as training will be conducted in early October. Similarlyaged participants for the inaugural sessions, beginning in late October, are also encouraged to register. It’s hoped the program will be ongoing. In addition to having the program offered at the stroke recovery centre, MacPherson hopes to partner with other community agencies so additional groups can be run out of their facilities, led by her trained volunteers. These programs can be for individuals of all ages and levels of ability. A program handbook is also being created so other interested communities and organizations can duplicate the program. For more information, contact MacPherson at 604-6715672 or liina@nssrc.org or visit www.nssrc.org.

I’m no gym Barbie, but I believe that dressing for the gym is just as important as dressing for anything else you want to be successful at. Pride is a personal value and we all have our own definitions of what it means. Here are my thoughts on gym attire: ■ Buy performance wear Function and performance are key factors to consider while style and brand names are secondary. There’s no need for wornout cotton T-shirts that look like they’re about to fall apart. No matter how powerful your deodorant, it’s tough to fight the smell of a sweat-drenched shirt! Buy a wicking fabric or microfibre shirt that allows your skin to breathe. ■ Wear clothes that fit Better yet, wear clothes. If you’re too sexy for your shirt, try your bra on before buying it.

Don’t let ﬁtness plateaus get you down

SOME of the best motivation for continuing with an exercise routine can come from visible weight loss, improved muscle tone or measurable improvement in cardiovascular endurance.

These are all factors that

indicate success. When they stagnate, it can be tough to forge ahead. If you’ve hit a training plateau and are having a difﬁcult time appreciating the inherent — but not visible — beneﬁts of regular exercise, such as a decreased resting heart rate, don’t despair. Plateaus are typically the result of a few common oversights: poor technique, poor variety and poor organization.

Think of the names of some exercises or stretches you regularly perform. Maybe you do hamstring curls, abdominal crunches or glute kickbacks. As their names suggest, each of these exercises is designed to target speciﬁc muscles. Using poor technique means you aren’t targeting the right muscles, which means you likely are not using the full or correct range of motion and likely are

not gaining the strength or endurance you want. Using weights that are too heavy or too light also results in poor technique. Make sure you don’t perform exercises too fast, either. Not only is this less effective — it could result in injury. One of the great beneﬁts of hiring a personal trainer is having someone guide you through your exercises until you become a master of

correct technique. If your workout routine suddenly seems like more of a routine than a workout, you’re probably suffering from poor variety. If you don’t feel creative enough to overhaul your existing routine, here’s another example where personal trainers come in handy, then you can simply up the number of sets or repetitions you perform of familiar exercises. You could also examine familiar exercises to see if they can be modified to burn additional calories or engage more muscles. Many weight-training exercises can be performed on a stability ball, for instance. If you jog outside, try running in short bursts followed by periods of walking instead. The human body is great at adapting to new demands. If you don’t put new demands on your body by frequently updating your fitness routine, it’s easy to hit training plateaus. The inverse of poor variety can often be poor organization. If you can’t even describe your routine — aside from choosing exercises haphazardly and when the mood strikes — you probably can’t avoid a fitness plateau. Poor organization will leave you in a tight spot. If you have no idea what your routine is, how can you

Personal Best Shaun Karp

modify it once your body has already adapted to it? Try starting with a fitness journal. Write down the exercises you complete, how many sets and repetitions of each, your break times, the amount of cardiovascular exercise performed, and, if applicable, your weight, measurements, or body-fat percentage. If you notice that you haven’t made progress for two weeks, you can review your journal and easily discover where you went wrong. It’s also important not to be discouraged. It’s easy to reach a training plateau, but if you use good technique, variety and organization, it’s just as easy to break it. Shaun Karp is a certified personal trainer.

Society helps sufferers cope in the workplace SEPTEMBER is Arthritis Awareness Month in Canada and this year, The Arthritis Society is drawing attention to the staggering impact of the disease in the workplace.

According to a written statement from The Arthritis Society, B.C. and Yukon division, of the more than four million Canadians (one in six) with arthritis, approximately 60 per cent are of working age. Arthritis costs the Canadian economy $6.4 billion annually in healthcare expenses and lost work days, with long-term disability accounting for about two-thirds of this total. People with arthritis are affected at work regardless of their job. They have additional daily struggles that their co-workers don’t face. The pain and stiffness of arthritis can interfere with the ability to perform work-related tasks. As well, fatigue and a lack of energy when working can be particularly problematic among people with all different types of arthritis. The Arthritis Society, B.C. and Yukon division, offers a number of helpful tips for managing arthritis at work in its Arthritis in the Workplace booklet. Tips include: ■ When at work, pace yourself by taking breaks and perform the most demanding duties at a time you feel most energetic. ■ Maintain a good posture and wear comfortable footwear to reduce stress on your joints. ■ Use ergonomic aids such as split keyboards, electric staplers, electric hole-punchers or telephone headsets that are designed to protect the joints from excess wear and tear. ■ Alternate duties to prevent strain on certain muscle groups and joints, and switch between sitting, standing and walking. ■ Apply ice during your lunch break or after work to reduce pain and decrease swelling. ■ Get adequate sleep and maintain a regular routine of physical activity. Regular exercise can strengthen the muscles that support

your fellow gym-goers’ imaginations! If you wear just a sports bra, relax your bottoms — like cargo pants or looser ﬁtting shorts. Think of a skimpy top and bottom like wearing bright red lipstick with heavy eye makeup. Some women can get away with it, most can’t. ■ Flatter your body If you feel frumpy and scruffy, you’re likely not going to be as motivated as you would if you liked the reﬂection smiling back at you in the mirror. And it’s pretty hard to avoid mirrors in a gym. Find something that you feel good in, and you’ll be

more motivated to workout. Although head-totoe black is still the most slimming color, it’s pretty somber and serious. Brighten up your look and get a similar slimming effect by blending hues of one color — such as dark blue pants and a light blue top. Blue apparently makes people more productive and focused. Not quite sure if I’ve noticed those beneﬁts, but studies show that most sports are enhanced in blue surroundings, and weight trainers lift more in a blue-colored gym. It could be worth a try. As for me, when I haul my bleary-eyed self to the gym at 5:20 a.m., I ﬁnd that when I throw on bright tops

NEWS photo Kevin Hill

THE sport of netball is relatively new to Canadians but was ﬁrst introduced in England in 1895.

When you really care about getting great returns, it’s only natural to teach people about money.

It is played at international levels around the world and is the most popular women’s sport in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom. The fast-moving game is similar to basketball with nets at either end of the court but the players must pass the ball within three seconds and may only take one step with the ball before releasing it. The authors have both played in world championships and coached Australian national teams. They present the foundations of the game in the first five chapters before moving on to a better understanding of controlling the play in the front, centre and back thirds of the court. They include a chapter on strategies and teamwork before finishing with recommended exercises specific to this sport. Throughout the book are instructions for techniques and drills that are accompanied by colour photographs and diagrams to better communicate the concepts. This dynamic game is now being played on the North Shore and anyone interested in playing can find out more by going to www.nsnetball. com. The Comets are the fastest growing club in the Vancouver Amateur Netball Association. You can register for play with the North Vancouver Recreation Commission. — Terry Peters

The house that Ron built NV man resides in the home he built for his family after the Second World War IN 1945, the war was over and people were taking up their lives again, going back to work and rebuilding their families. Ron Seal took this notion literally, building a new home for his family in North Vancouver. Ron and his wife, Olivia, purchased the lot for $650, $50 more than the adjoining lot, bought a month earlier by Olivia’s sister Ruth and her husband Bert Grant. Five years later, the family, including daughter Helen and son Michael, moved in to their new home. Ron and Bert traded skills in the building of their houses, doing all the labour themselves. Ron and Olivia designed their house and Ron drafted the plans for the Grant house. “We cleared the land ourselves,”

Memory Lane

Laura Anderson recalls Ron. “There were no big machines in those days.” After the war, MacMillan Bloedel offered lumber to veterans at cost. Ron purchased 20,000 feet of milled ﬁr and hemlock, “at a very considerable savings,” he says. He used maple and birch for the ﬂoors and exotic woods for the ceiling panels in the living and dining rooms. The staircase, with its hand-turned balustrades and curved, inlaid banister, is the centerpiece of the Seal house but Ron’s creations are everywhere, from the dining room chairs, each with a carved design, to the dollhouse, a favourite of Ron’s great-grandchildren. On the land where the Lucas Centre now stands, Ron selected several trees, which he

felled and hauled on his back up the embankment to his lot. Those timbers needed to be long and straight. They were intended for Ron’s backyard workshop where he built several boats, including the sailboat he named Olivia. Born in Nelson and raised in Balfour on Kootenay Lake, Ron grew up on the water. At 14, with his father sidelined with complications due to an accident, Ron quit school for a year to run the family boat business. If Ron had stayed in school at that time, his life may have taken a different course. Sitting on the dock one summer day, thinking about boats, he felt something strike his cheek. It was a watermelon seed, expectorated by Olivia Dickson. A spark was kindled but Olivia moved away to the coast. She graduated from North Vancouver high school and went on to train as a teacher. Meanwhile, Ron also decided to pursue a career in teaching. His ﬁrst assignment, a one-room school at Mirror Lake, three miles east of Kaslo, was brief as the teacherage closed due to lack of pupils. Ron went to a one-room school at Shutty Bench, three miles west of Kaslo. Every weekend, he bicycled

home to his family, ﬁnding on one visit that Olivia had returned. Their romance was rekindled and the couple married in 1935. For the next few years Ron taught in small schools around the province — Silverton, Gibsons and Prince Rupert. When the war came, he enlisted in the Navy and was assigned to Halifax for the duration. At the war’s end, the family reunited in a rented house at 14th and Burrard in Vancouver. Olivia heard that servicemen had a better chance of being demobbed early if there was a job waiting for them. She went to the Vancouver School Board and arranged a teaching job for Ron. He taught industrial education at various high schools in Vancouver, working weekends and holidays on the house in North Vancouver. He went on to teacher training in industrial education at the University of British Columbia, stepping down as chairman of the department to devote his time to building a second house. It took another ﬁve years for Ron to build their retirement home at Square Bay on the Sunshine Coast. There, he and Olivia spent many happy years messing about in boats and en-

In 2005, at the age of 91, Ron returned to the home he built in North Vancouver. On the wall of the cozy den where Ron reads by the light of the standing lamp he built is a sampler that says, “The gods do not subtract

from man’s allotted time the hours spent in sailing.” In Ron Seal’s case, one might add “and working with wood.” Laura Anderson works with and for seniors on the North Shore. Contact her at 604-346-0775 or email her at lander1@shaw.ca.

Bed and breakfast a mountain biker’s dream Manisha Krishnan mkrishnan@nsnews.com

THE North Shore is a dream destination for any avid mountain biker but ﬁnding accommodations that, well, accommodate the sport, isn’t always easy. That’s why North Vancouver couple Andrew and Vanessa Knowles opened the Lynn Valley Bed and Breakfast in their sixbedroom home last month. Located just a few hundred yards from the trails of Mount Fromme, it’s an ideal place to stay. “We have four children who ﬁnally have grown up and left home and so . . . it was a choice between try and maintain it with just two of us or put it to some practical use,” says Andrew. “We’ve been hosts in one form or another since we arrived in Canada. We’ve been host parents to foreign students so we just thought it was time to take it up a notch.” And it’s not just a great location that caters to mountain bikers. The Knowles also offer secure off-road parking, a cleaning area for bikes and equipment and hot outdoor showers.

“So basically when they come out of the trails and they’re covered in mud, one they clean their bikes, two they clean their armour and three they put their dirty clothes in a specific washing machine for them and they can literally step into a hot shower even before they come into the house,” says Andrew. “I asked a lot of people beforehand the kind of things they want to see and that was right at the top of their priority list.” Another important issue is storage, and luckily the Knowles are on top of that with their fully-secured garage. “Some of these bikes are extremely expensive and although (bikers) want to come and stay in North Vancouver, they don’t want to cycle every day. Sometimes they might want to go travelling,” he says. “We have secure storage for these bikes. We had $20,000 worth of bikes in our garage over the weekend, absolutely secure.” Menus are also specifically tailored to an athlete’s needs. “You don’t want to give someone a fried English breakfast if they’re going to be out cycling for four or five hours so the menus we offer are tailored specifically for that kind of lifestyle,” says Andrew.

TASTE

Value: Aussie rules Notable Potables Tim Pawsey

THIS time of year sees more tastings than “Vote them off the island” recall campaigns. The reason? Just about every wine region or spirit maker wants to make sure their drops are front and centre in time for the rapidly looming holiday season. First out of the gate this week were the Aussies, who with their usual candidness unveiled a pre-festive themed media tasting, complete with red and white trim. Nice touch. But the reality is that Australia has had its work cut out re-shaping the way we all think about Aussie wine, See Wines page 28

Wines are diverse, affordable From page 27

which has become, well, just too synonymous with Shiraz. Not that anyone wants to throw out the baby with the bathwater. But over the last few years, there’s been a concerted effort to get us to think more about other varieties, as well as the regions that happen to excel at them: think Coonawarra Cabernet, Clare Valley Riesling, Yarra Valley Pinot Noir, Hunter Valley Semillon, Tasmanian Pinot (we can’t wait for

Frogmore Creek to get here), and so on. And, from the Barossa, not merely great Shiraz but also a wealth of other drops. And that’s just scratching the surface. There’s not enough space to do true justice to this excellent sip fest here (check out hiredbelly.com), so we’ll focus on two characteristics that consistently deﬁne Australia: diversity and affordability.

Marvelous City: Rio de Janeiro (“River of January”) was the capital of Brazil for nearly two centuries, from 1763 to 1815 during the Portuguese colonial era, 1815 to 1821 as the capital of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and Algarves, and from 1822 to 1960 as an independent nation. Rio is nicknamed A Cidade Maravilhosa or “The Marvelous City.” Rio de Janeiro will host the 2016 Summer Olympics, the ﬁrst South American city to host the event and the city will also host the ﬁnal match for 2014 FIFA World Cup. — Wikipedia

FROM the top of Sugar Loaf, Rio de Janeiro is seen squeezing itself between Copacabana Beach and assorted steep-sided mountains.

KID-FRIENDLY RESIDENTS HELP MAKE CITY A DELIGHT

Peter Neville-Hadley

Relaxing in Rio

Contributing Writer

RIO DE JANEIRO: Rio’s racy reputation makes it seem far from suitable as a family holiday destination, but nevertheless our children were immediately impressed. Clutching the teddy bears they were each given at check-in and wearing the child-size bathrobes and slippers that were waiting in the room, they contemplated with enthusiasm a list of children’s DVDs available on request. There seemed little point of taking a long, overnight ﬂight to Brazil when simply checking-in to a local luxury hotel would probably have amused them just as much. But balcony views of the great sweep of Copacabana beach and of a city startlingly punctured by sharply-pointed mountains would have been impossible to duplicate at home, and despite repetitive guide book warnings of everything from pickpockets to pedophiles, the world outside the hotel looked irresistible to children and adults alike. Guide books also warned of the segmentation of beaches into differing social areas with different dress codes, although this was more about dressing down than dressing up. Indeed there were descriptions of certain swathes of sand covered in nothing but stylishly near-naked and competitively beautiful bodies. So in the

morning we dragged the children away from the breakfast buffet’s perfect mille feuille pastries and a made-to-order waffle station to sort out some beachwear. The Sofitel has an unbeatable location on the point of a coastal right-angle with Copacabana running to the north, and equally famous Ipanema to the west. Newly acquired and almost compulsory Havaiana flip-flops flapping at every step, we made our way along reputedly more relaxed and safer Ipanema Beach, heading for a child-friendly section called Baixo Bebê to the west. But soft sand can turn any walk into a trudge, and when during a brief pause our three-year-old daughter was invited to play with some other children, we called a halt. A beach vendor promptly appeared, introduced himself as Marco and shook hands, then swiftly set up two deck chairs and a sunshade, and we sat down to survey the surroundings. It became apparent that we had happened upon one of those scary areas for the beautiful and better-off, who were residents of the neighbouring and socially superior Ipanema and Leblon districts. But there was no need to feel out of place. For every artfully-shaven waif in a bikini there was a grandmother (in a bikini, too). And for every triangular-torso’d hunk there was a man who, if likening his stomach to a container for beer, would have to choose not six-pack, but barrel.

not yet reached Cariocas (as the residents of Rio are known) or perhaps they were ahead in understanding the importance to health of a daily dose of sunlight-engineered vitamin D. While we faced the water, admiring the panorama of the beach’s crescent, the island-dotted bay, the parade of passersby, the surf and the surfers, the Cariocas turned feet-ﬁrst to the sun as it climbed over the low-rise residences behind the beach, and swivelled slowly as the morning progressed. When neighbouring sunbathers would ask us to watch their things while they went to cool off this reinforced a sense of inclusion and community rather than any fear of imminent crime. The children splashed happily in the lagoon-like conditions created by an off-shore sandbar, and with paternal assistance dug the moist sand into forts against the incoming tide. Without denying the existence of Rio’s problems, visible at a distance in the no-go shanty towns struggling up the lower slopes of assorted peaks, here everything was just perfect, and could hardly have been more family-friendly. When lunchtime came there was a wide selection of restaurants a block or two back, some of them of the convenient à quilo (per kilo) kind, selling a variety of buffet dishes by weight, ideal for letting the children make their own choices, and we paid proportionally small amounts for the smaller volume consumed. In a nearby Praça General Osório, the Sundays-only Feira Hippie or Hippy Market offered stalls with leather goods, Tshirts in all sizes, and assorted curiosities that kept the children amused. These included toy soldiers, wooden games, and plastic models of Rio’s signature sight, the Cristo Redentor statue atop Corcovado Mountain, visible from almost every corner of the city, and a reminder that perfect as the beaches were, not all the city’s high points were at sea level. The top of Pão de Açúcar or Sugar Loaf, not far from the north end of Copacabana, was reached by a metro and bus combination. There were no half prices on transport and at sites, but usually children up to six could travel and enter for free, and effectively if able to duck easily under turnstiles could do so even if a bit older. The steep two-stage cable car journey via another hill to the top of the sheer-sided 396-metre-high peak was the highlight for the children, along with the sight of airliners turning sharply at eye-level before descending steeply to the handkerchief-sized Santos Dumont city airport jutting out into the bay far below. Sugar Loaf stands at the mouth of the vast Guanabara Bay, giving views of dozens of beaches, and of waves of denselypacked, mostly low-rise buildings breaking dramatically against other island-like peaks right in the city’s heart, including statuetopped Corcovado (“Hunchback”). At 710 metres and set further back from the coast, this offered even more impressive panoramas, as well as an ant’s-eye-view of

ON weekends multiple generations of Rio families flock to Ipanema for sun, sand and surf. the 30-metre statue of Jesus, an Art Deco masterpiece of a calm and unexpectedly Scandinavian spareness, in complete contrast to the bustle and colour of the city below. Getting there was another child-pleasing funfair ride, this time in the smart red-painted coaches of a century-old railway whose trains dragged themselves uphill on cogged track through an urban tropical forest tangled with vines and creepers, and past views of shanty towns tumbling off the tops of lower peaks. But the best trip of all, in the children’s opinion, was to ride Rio’s last remaining tram line up to view the 19th-century hillside mansions of the gradually re-gentrifying district of Santa Teresa. As regular public transport it was a fraction of the cost of the other journeys, but tickets were still sold after all seats had been filled, and one child had to be temporarily adopted by a local resident, while father and other passengers were left standing on a running board and hanging on for dear life against rapid changes of direction and sudden stops and starts. When, shortly after departure, the tram crossed the long, 18metre high Arcos da Lapa former aqueduct, completed in 1750 and barely wider than the rattletrap vehicle itself, the children were thrilled by their father’s unexpected high-wire antics. But it was the beaches that were the biggest hit, and despite all the warnings to be cautious issued continually by Cariocas themselves, nothing spoiled those sun-drenched days which have already become perfect childhood memories. Requests for a return have already been received. If you go: The Sofitel Rio de Janeiro Copacabana (www.sofitel.com) also offers parent-pleasing packages of Johnson’s baby-friendly toiletries for each child, and PlayStation and Wii systems for use in-room. Full beach tower and deckchair service is also provided at a corner of Copacabana directly across the road. At a lower budget, fully-equipped apartments are available to rent across the city, both as part of apartment-hotels (such as recommended Edificio Jucati, www.edificiojucati.com.br) and individual units in ordinary residential buildings. Rates on touristtargeting English-language websites can be high, however, and better prices negotiated locally, especially at low season. Beware sites also offering “nightlife tours.”

The Baixo Bebê section of Ipanema Beach (pictures at www. baixobebeleblon.com.br), at the west end between lifeguard posts 11 and 12, features an enclosed playground for younger children, diaper-changing facilities and other entertainments. But the sea is a little too rough for swimming, and there are kinder waters around post 9. The Saara Market (metro Uruguaiana), source of materials for Rio’s gaudy carnival costumes, is also likely to be a hit with children. Occupying several blocks it includes shops that sell nothing but buttons, beads, or sequins, as well as toys, and Halloween costume materials beyond nightmares, and T-shirts and other souvenirs at low prices. Modern Sound, a vast CD and record store in Copacabana (www.modernsound.com.br), has free live performances of samba, bossa nova, and jazz variants on these at volumes safe for children’s ears, typically from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday to Saturday. Seating is at tables in the store’s café-restaurant, with milk, soft drinks, and a number of child-friendly dishes on the menu.

RIO’S 18th-century Arcos da Lapa aqueduct, converted into a tramway more than a century ago, makes for a child-pleasing if hair-raising ride.

PETS

Reward the right stuff MANY of us have been embarrassed as we stand at the edge of a park with a treat in our hands, hollering at our dogs, only to watch them dance around us six feet away or ignore us altogether.

Why do some dogs do this and some come immediately when called? It all comes down to leadership. The stronger a leader you are to your dog the quicker they come when called. What did you think I was going to say . . . get a better treat? Yes, teaching a dog the initial stages of coming when called is done with greater success with treats, but we can’t have a bag of meat strapped to our hip all the time. Once a dog understands what “come” means it’s time to drop the treats and use leadership. Dogs come because they want to. Most of the time we are asking them to leave a playful situation with another dog, to stop chasing a squirrel, or to stop snifﬁng a shrub along the trail. We are asking them to ignore the fun and come to you. Once they come they’ll have to go in the house and be calm, get their leash on, or go home — it’s the end of their fun and fun is what dogs live for! All dogs, whatever the

age, can beneﬁt with a little refresher on who is in charge. Start teaching your dog to come in the home to keep distractions at a manageable level. The hardest part of this exercise is teaching the humans to do their part. It requires that the dog is ignored for behaviours that have probably become habitual. Within the home Fido is ignored completely for unwanted or unsolicited attention; when he or she invades your space or demands attention he is ignored. What do I mean? When your dog jumps on you, leans on your leg, steps or sits on your feet, shoves a toy at you, stands or sits and stares at you or barks at you, he is invading your space. All of those behaviours are high on the scale of demanding attention and they are all to be ignored completely

until your dog lies down and relaxes. However, do not turn your back on your dog or walk away during the attention-getting behaviour. If you back out under your dog’s pressure he knows he has won the alpha battle with that little manoeuvre (which I call “being obnoxious.”) It is ﬁne to step towards your dog, if he moves away from your forward movement you have won the alpha battle this time. Once Fido lies down quietly for a period of time, he is then called to “come” and rewarded with affection. But by quiet I mean no noise, not even a little whimper. Ignore it all! He should almost be asleep. He is not sitting in a sphinx position waiting to pounce but lying with one foot tucked inwards and his head resting on the ﬂoor, eyes closed. Now is the time you call your dog because he learns to place value on you as the alpha or leader. When he is a jerk he gets nothing. When he is well-behaved and respectful he gets some lovin’ or play. In a short time your dog will begin to come when called because he has learned that he can’t simply “get me some” whenever he demands it. He will also begin to choose calm behaviours around you because he has learned it is the behaviour that does “get me some.” Kind of a win-win situation don’t you think?

Searching ﬁeld hockey fame

North Shore teams aim to top last year’s big ﬁnish Andy Prest aprest@nsnews.com

IT’S no secret that the level of ﬁeld hockey on the North Shore is very high.

THREE TO SEE THIS WEEK VOLLEYBALL Senior girls doubleheader STA vs ARGYLE followed by WINDSOR vs HANDSWORTH Sept. 28, 6 p.m., Handsworth secondary FOOTBALL Senior boys AAA WEST VAN @ CARSON GRAHAM Oct. 1, 3:45 p.m. FOOTBALL Senior boys AA ABBY C vs WINDSOR Oct. 1, 3 p.m., William Grifﬁn Park

Last year the four senior girls AAA teams demonstrated just that, finishing second, third fourth and fifth at the provincial championships. With the West Vancouver Field Hockey Club continuing to produce provincial and national level players for all of the North Shore’s schools, a repeat of last year’s overpowering performance is not out of the question. If the provincial tournament seeding falls into place, could a ridiculous firstthrough-fourth-place showing be a possibility? Handsworth head coach Paul Winstanley is not ready to go that far just yet but, with the North Shore AAA league kicking off last weekend, he is impressed by what he’s seen.

Leading the way are the Carson Graham Eagles, says Winstanley. “I think Carson has to be the favourite to win provincials, they’ve got a great team and those players that are in Grade 12 now, they’ve played in the league for three years and they’re very strong players.” That Grade 12 core includes midfielders Holly Stewart, expected to return from knee surgery in the next few weeks, Emma Plasteras, Alexandra McCawley and Annabelle Hamilton as well as defender Alexandra Harden. All five of them were first or second team North Shore all-stars as Grade 11 players last year and Plasteras and McCawley were recently picked for the Canadian under-19 national team training squad. The Eagles, winners of provincial bronze last season, opened their North Shore campaign this year with a 3-0 win over Argyle on Wednesday. “I like this team a lot. I think they’ve got some good potential,” says Kevin Spooner, co-head coach of the Eagles with his wife Margie. “I think definitely there’s an excellent chance that a North Shore team is going to get in the top spot (at provincials). I like our chances but you never know. I think if they work hard they can certainly achieve that.” It’s the first year for the Spooners as head coaches but they’ve been there helping build the Carson program for the past five years, says Kevin. “When I decided to help out Carson’s field hockey team, at the time they didn’t have one. I wanted to get a NEWS photo Paul McGrath team going for when my daughter came into Grade 8,” he says. “It’s been a process and I’d really like to see . . . a CARSON Graham’s Emma Plasteras (left) stickhandles in her team’s 3-0 win over Argyle Wednesday.

North Van’s Millington a Hall of Fame guy

Andy Prest

aprest@nsnews.com

GETTING inducted into a sports hall of fame is normally a once-in-alifetime event. Last week North Vancouver’s Sean Millington had the great fortune to experience such a oncein-a-lifetime honour twice in one evening. On Sept. 16 the former Carson Graham, Simon Fraser University and B.C. Lions football great became the ﬁrst person ever inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame as an individual athlete and as a member of a team in the same year. “It was pretty exciting. It’s a big honour,” Millington told the North Shore News after the ceremony, held at the Vancouver Convention Centre. “I can’t say that, at least from my perspective, that I felt like one of the celebrated backs of the league or one of the guys that people think of when they think of the great backs of the CFL, so to get it as an individual was one of those kind of pats to the ego to say, ‘Hey, we actually thought you were pretty good and that you made some contributions to the game.’ That’s something that basically you can take to the grave with you, that you can feel good about and feel that you made your mark.” Whether he was celebrated as a great or not, Millington certainly performed like one. Twice named the league’s outstanding Canadian player, Millington ﬁnished his 12-year career with 6,086 rushing yards, putting him 24th on the all-time rushing list but second behind only

Norm Kwong amongst Canadian running backs. His 75 rushing touchdowns are sixth all-time behind George Reed, Mike Pringle, Damon Allen, Kwong and Matt Dunigan. Millington went into the B.C. Hall of Fame as one of five athlete inductees, including NHL great Joe Sakic. The team recognition went to the 1994 Grey Cup Champion B.C. Lions who rode a thrilling string of upsets to win the title at BC Place over Baltimore during the league’s short-lived American expansion experiment. “It was pretty spectacular,” said Millington. “I know that I’ve never been part of another situation that was quite that electric with so much riding on it, with so many storylines going on at the same time.” To get to the Grey Cup the Lions travelled to Calgary and beat Doug Fluties’ Stampeders for the first time in five years before beating Baltimore by three on a last-second field goal from legendary kicker Lui Passaglia. The win was all the more amazing given the highly volatile nature of that Lions team, said Millington. “They were definitely an eclectic bunch, let’s put it that way. A lot of clashing, strong personalities. It was sort of like two brothers or two sisters who are really close in age — you love each other and you know you’re going to go to war for each other but you tend to end up fighting a lot because you’re so similar and both of you have strong points of view and you figure you’re going to stand up for yourself. When that

Millington begged Carson coach to let him run From page 37

happens with football players there’s usually a few fisticuffs going around but at the end of the day everyone understands that you still have a job to do and the enemy is really out there, not in here. I think we managed to keep that mentality throughout the playoffs which is what allowed us to be successful.” Millington grew up in North Vancouver — still his home today — and went to Carson Graham where he took an unusual path to football stardom thanks to the sensibilities of coach Earl Henderson. “My coach at the time — and I kid him about this to this day — didn’t want me to play running back. And I didn’t play running back my first year, I was actually an offensive lineman. It was only with a lot of arm twisting and whining and begging that I did manage to get onto the field as a running back and fortunately had a good game that day and never looked back.” SFU came next and it was there that Millington earned a bachelor of arts with a major in economics — a degree he is finally using now as an investment advisor with TD Waterhouse. “It’s somewhat ironic that it took nearly 20 years to end up back using the degree but it’s one of those things that you’re

sure glad you have it when you actually need it,” said Millington, adding that his example drives home the point that it’s important for students to make the most of the educational opportunities that are put in front of them. “I think it’s a critical thing for young people to really be aware that what they’re learning at school is valuable. It doesn’t necessarily seem like it — I know when I was sitting in my social studies class I kind of wanted to know what was the relevance of this to my life. . . . But you never know what aspect of your education you’re ultimately going to come down on even if you do think you know what your career is going to look like.” Wrapping up his thoughts, Millington came back to two things: football and family. “Football has provided me with a lot of opportunities,” he said. “That’s something that people don’t give enough credit to sports for — the doors that it opens for you, the experiences that you go through that build you as a person. . . . You learn to weather adversity. You go through a 3-15 season, believe me you go through adversity.

There’s all sorts of things that I’ve been able to do and be a part of that I wouldn’t have been able to do had I not played football.” With him all the way was his family. The most touching moment of last week’s ceremony, said Millington, came when his mother presented him with his Hall of Fame award. “Some of the unsung heroes in this sort of equation are the people close to you, your family,” said Millington. “My mother, my wife — those are the kind of people who support you when things are going poorly. When I blew my knee out and had a fulllength cast on my leg and it’s dubious whether I’ll ever be able to play again, those are the people who are in your corner. . . . Don’t get me wrong, the fans are great and you do your best for them. But they’re not there when you’re sitting there in despair. It’s your family and particularly for me my faith in God that really kind of gave me the backbone to get up and keep ﬁghting.”

strongest midfield in the province.” Even with his team’s early success, Winstanley is cautious about making any big predictions for this year, arguing that the young Royals are set up for a title run next season. “It would be unrealistic to think that we could win provincials but you never know — stranger things have happened. They’re a fantastic group.” Though West Van started the season with a loss, it is never a good idea to count the Highlanders out. Provincial champions in 2007 and 2008, West Van came into last year’s provincial tournament as the third-ranked North Shore team but ended up making their third straight provincial final where they lost a heartbreaker in penalty strokes to Kelowna. Argyle should be strong as well as they look to build on their fifth-place finish last season, the best result in school history. It’s too early to anoint anyone champion yet but there is one prediction Winstanley is happy to make. “I think it’s going to be another good year from the North Shore for field hockey.”

provincial championship as reward for all that hard work. I think these girls deserve it too. They’re exceptional athletes and very easily coached.” While Carson may be the early favourite, Handsworth showed a lot of promise in handing traditional powerhouse West Van an 8-3 defeat in the league-opening game on Monday. The lopsided win came as a bit of a shock to Royals coach Winstanley. “It was surprising because we’ve got 11 rookies and just four returning players so I didn’t know what to expect,” he says. “We’ve got a quick, athletic team and they just seemed to gel and we got a couple of early goals. It was surprising. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I was thinking we wouldn’t even make provincials this year off the North Shore so it was a pleasant surprise.” The Royals are led by Hannah Haughn, Kylie Nabata and Kendra Perrin, a trio of Grade 11 midﬁelders who are the team’s co-captains. “They’re the engine of the team,” says Winstanley. “I think it’s safe to say I’ve got the

Tim Stephens' Astral Reﬂections Aries March 21 - April 19: The weeks ahead feature relationships, opportunities and opposition, relocation, contracts, negotiations, litigation, agreements. In general, others will have the upper hand, so diplomacy/compromise is your protection, and eagerness to join is your opportunity. Your sexual side works overtime (right through December,but most strongly through late October) – excitement, attraction are certain, but don’t overstep social boundaries. True love could occur! Financial partnerships, agreements and investments that arise will grow to a November climax. Chase romance Saturday p.m. Taurus April 20-May 20: Work and health concerns ﬁll the weeks ahead. Your drudgery will be amply relieved, though, by an unusual run of exciting meetings, attractions and exotic temptations. One particularly intriguing person, adventure or opportunity will “stick with you” right into early 2011. Still, don’t neglect chores. Your energy and charisma get a nice boost Sunday/Monday – Sunday could trigger one of those exotic attractions! Chase money Tuesday (easy, stable) and Wednesday (minor glitches). Communications, paperwork, errands irk you Thursday, succeed with ease Friday. Home, kids bless Saturday. Gemini May 21-June 20: Lie low Sunday/Monday: contemplate, plan for the future, attend to duties. Be charitable, spiritual. Your energy and charisma surge back Tuesday/Wednesday – romance is a definite possibility, if you chase it. Three factors characterize romance until October 2012: one, your affections mingle deeply and successfully with sexual and financial currents; two, there might be an age difference. Three, romance will be slow to develop, perhaps because others doubt your loyalty. (Or find you too old or young). You’ll have to “prove” your love. Money caution Thursday, luck Friday.

Cancer June 21-July 22: This week and the next few, settle into family, property, security, retirement prospects, Mother Nature, soul, the basics of your life and business. Despite this accent on home and soul – or perhaps due to it – romance wanders into your life (more like strolls, for it seems pretty intent) – if not now, then soon. (The influence lasts to next January.) If you’re happily married, the same influence enlivens and brings success to your dealings with children and/or creative projects. Hopes, optimism, social delights early week. Retreat Tuesday/Wednesday. Your energy returns Thursday onward. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead are generally easy, without “high stakes” pressure. But you’ll be busy – a flurry of travel, paperwork, details, errands and communications arrives. You might change homes, or renovate/decorate. This (or some other domestic adjustment) brings strife and affection – the strife lasts only through October, the affection through December. (Which hints at a splendid outcome.) You might sign legal papers involving property. Be ambitious Sunday/Monday. Social delights, wish fulfilment, light romance visit you midweek! Retreat, live cautiously Thursday/Friday. You shine Saturday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Chase money, buy and sell, seek new clients or a pay raise during the next few weeks. Money isn’t easy for you to earn now through October 2012, but it can increase through creativity, art/beauty, judicious speculation/risk, pleasure fields such as vacation, recreation, camping, etc., and “indulging children” (e.g., toys, kids’ fashions). You might be busy chasing after or talking to a romantic/ sexual interest this autumn/winter – if you keep it light, you’ll succeed. Sunday/Monday are mellow, tickle your romantic antennae. Be ambitious midweek. Caution Thursday, joy Friday!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness reach a yearly peak now, Libra – charge ahead, insist on your way, start important new ventures or give a strong heave to ones that you need to complete. You’ll attract attention, but in a quiet way. Money will ﬂow swiftly to you through late October, but you’ll be tempted to spend carelessly, especially with a partner, or in an attempt to attract a person or opportunity – slow down! Wait until November/December, when you’ll spend more wisely, and luckily. Sexy stuff Sunday/Monday. Love, wisdom midweek. Don’t push higher-ups Thursday. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: You’re weary but your sexual, partnership and romantic magnetism rises. Is that a good thing? Who knows? A moderate approach is best: don’t overwork, and keep your intimate clinches honest. Don’t embrace anyone you suspect could become a burden in future. (You hardly need this advice, anyway.) You face heavy travel, paperwork or communication duties now to late 2012. Ah, well, grin and bear it. Sunday/Monday spark an attraction: show humour! Intimate temptations come Tuesday (good) and Wednesday (iffy to suppertime, good late night). Careful (legally, ethically) Thursday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Entertainment, light romance (heavy stuff would burden you in future) popularity, optimism and happiness – these pay a month-long visit! You might be held back by a nagging health problem (related to sugar?). This health influence lasts to January 2011, so take care of it now. If nothing “shows up” Sunday/Monday or Thursday, you’re fine. Tackle chores early week. Exciting meetings or opportunities arise Tuesday/ Wednesday – say Yes – don’t insist that it be “your way.” Be careful with finances, health, intimacy, commitments Thursday (Friday’s lucky here). Gentle love, joy Saturday.

Sept. 26 - Oct. 2 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Be on your toes – ambitions rise, and so do pressures to perform. The accent is on prestige relations, dealings with higherups. Your social side grows active – a light romance might be brewing. Be alert, though – don’t let an attraction interfere with (or smudge) your ambitions or reputation. Sunday/Monday are romantic, creative. Tackle chores Tuesday/Wednesday. (Tuesday best – get an early start.) Be cautious in relationships Thursday – agree to nothing, but alienate no one. Friday offers success in the same zone. Saturday starts a weekend of mystery, desire, investigation. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: A gentle, philosophical, loving mood comes upon you for a few weeks. Intellectual, legal, educational, cultural, religious, fartravel and international involvements are favoured. If you started an “angry communication” in 2009, it can be solved now. You might be surprised to find that you’re loved – or not! Bosses, parents and other “high-ups” continue to treat you with impatience and affection: maintain humour and you’ll maintain the affection. (The impatience will fade before November; the affection lasts to 2011.) Home, family Sunday/ Monday. Romance midweek. Caution Thursday! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Mysteries and investigation, subconscious urges, lust, large finances, lifestyle changes, commitments and consequences fill the weeks ahead. Be careful with legal, cultural and ethical zones – your impatience to get things done could stir up costly antagonism. (Despite this, these areas, as well as international travel and higher education, yield rewards right into January.) Tackle errands, paperwork – and meet a sweet friend – Sunday/Monday. Be domestic, restful Tuesday/Wednesday. Romance and speculation call you Thursday, but need much caution – try these Friday instead. Chores Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
