NV man berates social services Caitlin Dowling

newsroom@nsnews.com

A North Vancouver man says his mother’s death and half-sister’s emaciation could have been avoided.

Mike Prentice, 32, says he and his brother tried for years to show that his mother was spiralling “out of control” and that his half-sister was not receiving proper care.

The teenage girl, 15, has Down Syndrome.

She was found emaciated and malnourished in the Chilliwack trailer she shared with her mother on Sept. 14.

Her mother’s body was also found in the trailer. It is estimated that she had been dead for nine days by the time a neighbour grew concerned and sounded the alarm.

Prentice claims his mother was an alcoholic and addicted to the prescription painkiller Clonazepam. His sister had done what she could to help her mother. “(Mum’s) pills were all See Girl page 5

Mountie stabbed – but gets his man Jane Seyd

jseyd@nsnews.com

A rookie North Vancouver RCMP officer is recovering at home this week after being stabbed and seriously injured — then going on to single-handedly subdue and arrest the man who attacked him.

The officer is upbeat and is expected to make a full recovery despite the 20 stitches required to close his wound, said Cpl. Peter DeVries, spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP. DeVries said the incident brings home the danger that police officers face on the job. “Around every corner while we’re working

we could be faced with a life and death situation,” said DeVries. “It’s part of the job we accept.”

The violent incident happened Wednesday night around 9:30 p.m. when someone reported a suspicious vehicle in the area of Emerson Drive in Seymour Heights.

The officer who responded to the call soon found the car parked on the side of the road. But when he approached the driver, the man leapt out of the vehicle and lunged at the officer with a knife, striking

his body armor and cutting a large gash in his forearm. DeVries said the officer struggled with the man and ended up on the ground.

Eventually the officer managed to get his Taser out, stun the man and put handcuffs on him, just moments before his back-up arrived on the scene.

“By that time he was bleeding pretty badly from the wound on his arm,” said DeVries. He added if the gash had been just a couple of centimetres away, it could have severed a main artery.

Both the officer and the suspect were taken to hospital by ambulance.

DeVries said the incident has been a reminder of dangers faced

Attempted murder charge laid From page 1

by police officers.

“It reminds us of our own mortality and our need to remain vigilant, even in a peaceful community like North Vancouver,” he said. “It shakes us up to know that this officer could easily have been killed.”

But DeVries said the way the officer handled the attack despite having only six months on the job speaks highly of the kind of training police receive.

DeVries said drugs and alcohol are not believed to have been involved in the attack. He refused to comment on whether the man may have had a mental illness.

William Charles Roxborough, 61, of Vancouver, has been charged with attempted murder in connection with the attack. He remains in custody.

over the ground, where my mum laid, where my sister tried to nurse her back to health.”

The girl had been trying to feed her mother the drugs to revive her, likely for days after she had perished.

Officials suspect she had stayed by her mother’s body and barely slept during the ordeal.

“She was so traumatized, that after they brought her outside on the stretcher, she was swatting at flies that were not there,” said Prentice.

Prentice said his younger brother Kevin, 29, took action during the summer to get their little sister to safety, bringing her back to North Vancouver with him.

The Ministry of Children and Family Development was called in to investigate.

“They said they would conduct a survey to see what was going on,” said Prentice.

“They did that and told my brother, ‘You’ve got to

bring (her) back, or your mum’s going to charge you with kidnapping.’”

After this incident, their mother estranged herself from her sons, not allowing them into the trailer when they came to visit with bags of groceries for her.

After she had died, the Prentice brothers had to clean out the trailer. The living conditions inside were beyond their worst fears.

“It was . . . dirt everywhere,” Prentice said.” There was a dead mouse on the ground, that was flattened by someone See Trailer page 10

RANSLINK is a trainwreck. The management structure devised by then-transportation minister Kevin Falcon in 2004 has lurched from funding crisis to funding crisis, buying and building like there’s no tomorrow and then pleading poverty when it comes to day-to-day budgeting.

The plans, unveiled Tuesday, to pay for the Evergreen Line and the North Fraser Perimeter Road are yet another pile-up. Once again, the unelected TransLink board emerged from a secret meeting to stick their whole spending plan onto property tax rolls. The region’s mayors know that property taxes are already high, already growing, and already earmarked for mandatory big-dollar projects like solid waste and sewage treatment plants, not to mention the everyday running of their municipalities.

you said it “They were kids. I was in my 20s. A lot of them were 17 or 18.

They were kids out of school one day and the next day in uniform.

The losses were terrible.”

Second World War veteran Mel Smith remembers the horrific casualties borne by Royal Air Force bomber crews during missions over Germany. Smith flew 70 combat sorties as a tail gunner (from a Nov. 7 feature).

••• “I can recall teaching senior secondary school in the early ’70s and there were kids in that Grade 12 class who couldn’t read and we didn’t know why.”

Geoff Jopson looks back at his 38 years in education, eight as West Van school district’s superintendent (from a Nov. 10 news story).

••• “They dangle this carrot, ‘Well you won’t get your funding if you don’t do this.’

They’ve done that before and, quite frankly, blackmail does not work with me.”

City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto is angry that the TransLink board wants the region’s mayors to approve new property taxes next month to pay for the Evergreen Line and other transportation projects (from a Nov. 12 news story).

TransLink seems oblivious to this.

The funding of transportation should be reconnected to the use of transportation, through some combination of gas tax, a vehicle levy, and yes, the tolling of some routes.

Pillaging municipal budgets is not only unfair, it’s just not sustainable.

More importantly though, the province needs to clean up its mess and reconnect the people who make the plans with the people who are going to pay for them. This means doing away with the TransLink cabal, who effectively hold the region’s mayors for ransom by producing a fait accompli plan and only giving them an up-or-down vote.

The taxpayer’s interests should be in the minds of planners at every stage, not just at the very end.

We elected our mayors and councillors to lead — let’s let them do it.

Education push for drinking regs The following is a press release by Solicitor General Rich Coleman clarifying his “discretion” comments with regard to police enforcement of drinking/driving regulations.

BRITISH Columbia has had Canada’s toughest drinking-driving penalties for almost two months, and it is timely for the province to examine the new rules to ensure they are working effectively.

I think most British Columbians share the same objective — we want people to make good choices, and we want safer roads. We also want a fair system that the public supports, so we committed to look at the results of our approach.

What has become increasingly clear is the need for more public education, so that British Columbians can make well-informed, responsible decisions, and for police to consider the discretion available to them around impounding vehicles.

People need to know that they are able to legally drive their vehicles if they drink small amounts of alcohol over time. Most people can still enjoy a glass of wine with dinner or a beer after work.

This is entirely consistent with the 0.05 per cent blood-alcohol content (BAC) threshold, which has been in place in B.C. since 1977. Only the penalties have changed. Before Sept. 20, police were imposing 24-hour driver’s licence suspensions at the roadside on any driver tested with a 0.05 breath sample. The driver’s vehicle could also be impounded for 24 hours, at an officer’s discretion.

Why did we get tougher on drivers at the 0.05

CONTACT US

threshold? One of the reasons was that police were handing out 30,000 to 40,000 of the 24-hour suspensions to those in the “warn” range each year.

With those kinds of numbers, we knew that changes needed to be made.

But one effect of those changes is that the new penalties are causing many responsible people — people who are not a threat to road safety — to err on the side of extreme caution.

A number of tools, including online calculators and personal blood-alcohol readers, are available that help people make informed decisions about when they are safe and legal to drive.

In the coming weeks, the province will be examining the value of these tools in supporting our efforts to improve road safety. We will also look into how more public education can continue to support responsible drivers in making safe decisions when they go out for a meal or celebrate with friends.

Our educational efforts will extend to police officers at the roadside.

The fact is, they have discretion over whether or not to impound the vehicle of someone who’s caught once or twice in the “warn” range of 0.05 to 0.08 per cent BAC. There’s still the option of parking a vehicle, if it is safe to do so, or allowing a sober passenger or friend to get a vehicle home.

Still, I’m concerned about the number of tows, which is far higher than we anticipated. So, I’ve discussed with law enforcement leaders the need to reinforce the “discretion” message with officers, and committed to strengthening police training about the new rules.

We know the public supports our efforts to keep dangerous drivers from killing and injuring people on B.C.’s roads. What we’re committing to now is further education, consultation with the public, the hospitality industry, police and others, and a willingness to revisit the legislation next spring, if necessary.

The law can’t work for our province if it’s based on widespread and unreasonable fear. The new rules, and their enforcement, must be understood and accepted by the public — and we intend to work quickly to ensure they are.

Rich Coleman Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General

Don’t compromise regs Open letter to Minister Coleman: It is obvious that complaints from the big liquor sellers have prompted you to talk about re-examining the regulations regarding drinking and driving. Many members of the public are quite happy with the new restrictions, and some say it does not go far enough: that no drinking and driving at all should be tolerated.

Before any concessions at all are contemplated, we need to know what has been the actual reduction of drinking-driving offences and accidents, compared to a like period before the lower tolerance was introduced.

There has been far too much accent on lost revenue by publicans rather than on the harm to the public.

Alcohol has not been a net benefit to society; any reduction in its consumption can only be good.

Dining adventures shake, don’t stir me POOR Stanley. In reality, my lovely, kind and funny husband isn’t a bit like TV’s finicky Niles or Frasier Crane, nor Ratatouille’s pompous food critic, Anton Ego. In eateries and drinkeries, however, Stanley has particular needs, and about 80 per cent of the time, they are not met.

This might not matter if he didn’t travel so much on business, which requires him to eat in restaurants. At the end of a working day in some godforsaken oil town, Stanley likes to unwind with a properly made drink, his tipple of choice being the vodka martini.

A vodka martini, in his view, consists of two ingredients: 2 ounces of pure half-decent vodka, and a twist of lemon. The latter is an elegant, pith-free strip of rind that is rubbed around the rim of the glass. Alternatively, it can be twisted, once, gently over the vodka, so the mildest

Going Coastal

Kate Zimmerman waft of lemon essence (the essential oil, not the juice) falls in a light mist over its untarnished surface like the scent of a neighbour’s jasmine on a warm summer breeze.

Stanley himself has a fancy device that he uses to make the lemon strip at home, but a lot of bartenders (hello, Fort McMurray’s finest) haven’t discovered this relatively inexpensive tool. Thus, he has had his ultra-simple favourite cocktail served to him in a variety of cities and towns as vodka with a wedge of lemon on the side;

vodka with lemon or lime juice squeezed into it; and vodka with lemon rind grated on top. He has also routinely received plain vodka cooled in a shaker that was just used to make a melon or raspberry martini, bastardizing his pristine classic with unwanted girly-drink flavours.

And so, each time Stanley orders his aperitif in a new establishment, specifying “Vodka martini, no vermouth, with a twist of lemon,” he winces in nervous anticipation. If I am present, I catch my breath before he takes his first sip, expecting him to grimace and send it back, with plenty of disgusted commentary.

This is just for starters.

When he orders food, Stanley also has requirements that must be met, because of health-affecting food intolerances. He makes these needs clear to the server as he places his order: Please, no gluten or dairy. About half the time, the plate arrives without the offending ingredients. The other half, sour cream smothers the chili,

the hot wings are thickly coated with bread-crumbs, or there’s been some other equally stupid gaffe. While chastened and sometimes chastised servers scurry to right these wrongs, Stanley’s companions, at his urging, begin eating without him.

Recently, out solo in Fort McMurray, he had to send back three vodka martinis and his dinner.

Usually the most patient of men, Stanley eventually snapped. He stormed out of the steakhouse, only to find himself dining sadly in his hotel room on cold Spam and smoked almonds, washed down with a six-dollar bottle of water. Feel his pain.

To complicate matters further, when we dine in restaurants as a family, our children are also fastidious.

So every order taken from us begins with Stanley explaining his issues, then the teenagers chiming in with their allergies to soy, peas and peanuts, and requesting, por favor, no yucky cranberries in the quesadillas. I alone appear to be the sane one, a total

reverse of our usual roles, as I trumpet proudly, “The cheeseburger, please — as is.”

Because of these experiences and their long, humiliating history, even if a dish arrives sporting a dead rat as a garnish, I’ll never send it back. My sympathy for food service people trumps any minor concerns.

I’m also mortified by the behaviour of one of my food writer acquaintances.

Whenever he doesn’t enjoy something (in his case, a matter of personal taste, not health), he’ll call the chef over, let him know he’s a restaurant critic, and lecture

him in front of the whole table on how the dish should be improved. To me, that’s rude, arrogant and gratuitous; I want to crawl under my chair and die.

On the subject of discontented diners, though, nothing tops the tale I once heard about my best friend’s father, a notoriously picky, non-cooking senior bureaucrat who was often required to travel. Once, he was sent to Yellowknife for several days. There was a total of two restaurants in town at the time. For his first meal, he See Not page 9

A world-renowned artist and carver has lost a bid to overturn his conviction for touching a 13-yearold girl for a sexual purpose in B.C. Supreme Court.

Simon James, 53, (also known as Simon Dick) — an internationally known artist — was convicted of the crime and handed the sentence a year ago after being found guilty following a trial in North Vancouver provincial court.

James, who was living on Bowen Island when

the offence happened in April 2008, had shown up to the home of friends while they were out, let himself into their house and gave their teenaged daughter a back massage, unhooking her bra, while directing her to lie on the couch.

As James massaged the girl, he asked her questions about school “and seemed to know her dad was away and what time her mom would be home,” according to the original trial judge’s decision.

The girl told the judge she complied with James’ request to lie down but was scared. She added she found James’ actions “a little bit abnormal. Generally people who are three times your age do not come over and massage your

back,” said the teen.

When he left, James told the girl not to tell her parents and added he’d come back if he got some lavender oil because it was “really good for taking out stress.”

During the trial, James argued that he hadn’t touched any sexual areas of the girl’s body and maintained that the massage was for therapeutic purposes only. But the judge didn’t buy that, saying, “I reject the notion that there was any purpose other than a sexual one here,” especially given the absence of the girl’s parents and admonition not to tell them.

James — who has two previous convictions for sexual offences in 1990 and 1992 — was handed

the mandatory minimum sentence of 14 days in jail and was placed on the national sex offender registry.

In his appeal in B.C. Supreme Court, James’ defence lawyer argued his conviction should be overturned, saying there was insufficient evidence that James had a sexual intent in mind when he massaged the girl. He added that a 13 year-old can legally consent to a massage without a sexual purpose.

The Crown urged the judge to uphold the decision, arguing the case turned on the “inherent plausibility” of James’ explanation for his actions.

Supreme Court Justice Mark McEwan rejected James’ appeal.

Not settling for second-best CityView

From page 9

chose the fancier one, and ordered himself a respectable-sounding repast. It being Canada’s northern frontier in the 1970s, the menu likely didn’t represent the height of sophistication.

Naturally, the dish this fellow ordered failed to meet his lofty standards, so he sent his plate back to the kitchen.

I don’t recall his complaint — whether the steak was too well-done, the char too charred, or the duck had buckshot in it. Instead of the waiter arriving at the table with the standard obsequious apology and replacement plate, out of the kitchen charged a large, enraged chef, wielding his chopping knife. He chased the skinny, bespectacled complainer out of the restaurant and warned him never to darken its doors again.

One restaurant down, one to go. For his next meal, the testy traveller ordered more modestly, choosing a sandwich. When it arrived, true to form, he peeled back the top piece of bread to inspect the contents heaped

under the iceberg lettuce cap. There, on top of the requested liverwurst, nestled a large, pink Band-Aid — used. The end result? This impossibly fussy eater provided a delicious story for schadenfreudian observers to dine out on for years to come.

Meanwhile, Stanley is accumulating fables about martini triumphs and outrages all over the continent and beyond. He’s become a true fan, for instance, of what he calls “the Mexican pour” — the $12, six-ounce martinis he managed to gulp down at one restaurant in Puerto Vallarta last year. He’s an avowed opponent of the contrary experience, which he refers to as “the Mexican hose-down.” The three-ounce martini he was served at one posh beachfront bar in PV at sunset was prepared to his exact specifications — but when he got the bill for C$25, he was one hot tamale.

For here’s the bottom line: Stanley asks for nothing less than perfection. But not universally, thank God — after all, he married me. kate@katezimmerman.ca

TRAFFIC ADVISORY Construction Work at Main Street & Cotton Road BEGINNING MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15

The Lynn Creek bridge deck is in need of repair and will be resurfaced over the next few months. Through funding support from the Building Canada Fund, the bridge deck will be repaired in two phases, beginning with the eastbound travel lanes. During construction, traffic will be reduced to two lanes (one in each direction) and at times, may be further reduced to one single lane with alternating traffic. Construction is expected to be complete by February 2011. Drivers are advised to expect lengthy delays. Please plan an alternate route, where possible.

Macular Degeneration and the Power of Early Detection The Macula is the centre focus point of the retina inside the eye. Any damage to this area can cause significant loss of vision including driving, face recognition and reading.

There are currently 2.1 million people with macular degeneration (AMD) in Canada, and this is increasing by 180,000 new cases per year.

Risk increases with age and currently 30% of Canadians 55-74 years of age, and 40% over the age of 75, have some form of AMD. AMD causes 54% of the blindness in patients older than 40.

Early detection is the key to preventing or delaying vision loss.

In the case of the most common form,

• Comprehensive Eye Examinations • Contact Lenses • Diabetic Specific Eye Exams • Laser Surgery Consultation & Co-management • Vision Shaping Treatment • Child Eye Exams • Retinal Imaging • Glaucoma & Macular Degeneration Testing • Cataract Surgery Co-management

“dry” AMD unless it’s detected in a routine eye exam, you may not realize that you have the disease until it reaches an advanced visually permanent stage.

Optomeyes has recently acquired a new diagnostic technology for their patients called the Macular Pigment Optical Density scanner. With this new technology the Doctors are now able to detect one of the major risks factors for the disease years before vision starts to deteriorate.

In addition, to this

www.cnv.org

• Eye Specialist Services • Prescription Eyewear • Treatment and management of eye disease

instrument Digital Retinal Imaging can detect many other degenerative changes much earlier than previously possible.

Retinal imaging is conducted on all patients at the clinic and must be done to ensure proper ocular health monitoring at every eye examination.

Many of the AMD risk factors can be controlled or even eliminated. This is one of the main reasons why regular eye examinations with macular pigment scanning, especially after the age of 40 are so important for long term eye and vision health.

Hit-and-run witnesses sought Man hurt at NV McDonald’s Caitlin Dowling

newsroom@nsnews.com

THE RCMP in North Vancouver are looking for witnesses to a hit-andrun incident that occurred at a North Vancouver restaurant.

A car knocked down a 52-year-old North Vancouver man at the McDonald’s drive-through restaurant at 1219 Marine Dr., just after midnight on Saturday, Oct. 23.

The victim sustained minor injuries following the incident, and got himself inside the restaurant to alert the authorities.

Cpl. Peter DeVries, spokesman for the North Vancouver detachment, said the vehicle contained four passengers.

Trailer full of empty liquor bottles From page 5

“The driver didn’t stop, and the car was described as a small white car, possibly a Toyota.”

DeVries is urging the other passengers in the vehicle that night to identify the driver.

“There’s also information that there were some witnesses in the parking lot at the time that this happened, and we’re asking that anyone who was there and saw this happen will come forward,” added DeVries.

There may be some damage to the driver’s side of the white vehicle, and DeVries asks that any body shops that may have worked on a car matching this description recently call the RCMP. North Vancouver RCMP are asking anyone with any information about the vehicle or the driver to contact Const. Jana Jardine at 604-985-1311 and quote file number 2010-29612.

stepping on it.”

There was a sea of empty 40-ounce bottles of liquor and piles upon piles of hoarded unnecessary goods. And as their half-sister was unable to use the washroom by herself, Prentice said there was excrement all over the floors from her overly full diaper.

Prentice says that he and his brother tried for decades to get the Children’s Ministry to investigate their mother, even talking to their elementary school about her behaviour in 1987.

He states his mother was able to duck below the radar by appearing to be an excellent parent. “(She) ran a daycare, a licensed daycare. And had her kids in sports from an early age. Everything looked normal if you were looking far from the outside.”

After years of feeling neglected by social services, he felt the media was his only option.

“What it pretty much takes is going to the news I guess. I tried to get the story out for two months.

“It took me going up to the back of a van the other day that was doing a live segment to finally get this out.”

N. Van company cleans up Oil skimmer business still booming Caitlin Dowling

newsroom@nsnews.com

WHILE the Deepwater Horizon spill was disastrous for industry along the southern coast of the U.S., one company in North Vancouver has experienced spectacular growth as a result.

Aqua-Guard Spill Response on the North Shore makes oil-skimming devices for use in spills. Once the leak is contained in a boom, their machines sweep oily water out photo supplied of the ocean and into tanks.

“We ended up shipping AQUA-GUARD tests its new oil skimmer at Vancouver Drydock. over 100 oil-skimming systems The Triton 600 is the biggest machine of its kind, weighing down to the Gulf of Mexico for the period, probably (from) mid-June until the day they capped the well,” said owner Nigel in at a staggering 41,000 pounds. It attaches to the side of an Bennett. The company provided manpower and training to the offshore vessel. When the device is activated by remote control, the skimmer head is then lowered into the slick via a crane. Once Gulf as well as the machinery itself.

The sheer volume of the spill in the Gulf of Mexico got in the oily water, the skimmer head is driven into the centre of Bennett and his team thinking about ways to improve their the contained oil by two 14-inch propellers. The oil is separated from the water with large brushes, which move the murky sludge machinery.

Musicians band together Video project showcases the power of music in people’s lives

Erin McPhee emcphee@nsnews.com

A North Vancouver man is among those lending a hand to help create a level playing field when it comes to musical expression.

HEALTH NOTES page 14 USE IT OR LOSE IT Shaun Karp explains why in this week’s Personal Best column. page 15 ABUSE Miriam McClellan differentiates between healthy and unhealthy relationships. page 16 WINTER Dave Norona gets you ready for the season that’s fast approaching. page 18

Odds front man Craig Northey was called on for his skills, both at the mike and in the recording studio, for Music Saves II, a video intended to inspire by showcasing disabled and able-bodied musicians, illustrating the power of music and its potential positive impact on people’s lives. In addition, it’s intended to raise funds and awareness for the Vancouver Adapted Music Society (VAMS), which supports and promotes musicians with physical disabilities, and the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund.

“VAMS and music therapy, they are all things that give people a leg up,” says Northey.

“You need music like you need food or water or anything to keep yourself alive. Those with physical challenges, this just makes it accessible,” he adds.

This is the second edition of the project, presented by Vancouver’s Shore 104.3 FM, and saw a number of artists, including Jim Byrnes, Dan Mangan, John Mann, Dan Moxon, Kuba Oms, Adaline, Dustin and Barney Bentall, Wendy Bird, Kristina Shelden and Rolf Kempf, perform Dave Mason’s “Feelin’ Alright” in a variety of picturesque Vancouver locations. North Shore involvement in the project was strong, with a number of the performers, for example Byrnes, Bird and the Bentalls, and behind-the-scenes help, including Dave Meszaros and Paul Forgues, either currently or formerly calling it home.

Northey got involved in Music Saves through his involvement in the local music scene and his familiarity with some of the creative people at the Shore, including program director Patrick Zulinov.

“When they decided on this initiative, to work with VAMS and let people know about it, they asked me to get involved on the music end of things,” says Northey.

He jumped at the opportunity and last year volunteered to record the basic track for the video, a cover of Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released,” and helped with editing and mixing. The initiative received a number of awards and accolades, including a Community Service Award by the B.C. Association of Broadcasters and the Best Charity or Cause Related Event Award by the B.C. Events Award group.

This year, Northey took on a bigger role as Odds was among the featured performers. He also served as musical director and helped co-ordinate what song was chosen, as well as the musicians and their role, the arrangement, and helped with recording, mixing and producing the work.

“It’s a very complicated and strange undertaking what we did,” he says, of the overall process.

If your home were wiped out, what would you do?

Keep legs strong to avoid falls

AS we age, our bodies change: we experience loss of muscle and bone strength.

In many instances simple activities such as walking up a few stairs or getting out of a vehicle become difficult, and getting in or out of a bathtub can have a disastrous outcome.

Our muscles and bones respond to the stresses that we put on them with our activities of daily living.

As our lives become less vigorous, our muscles and bones lose strength.

The best way to overcome this is to keep our leg muscles strong by performing some basic exercises each day.

If you are inactive for an extended period of time and then you challenge your muscles by trying to perform a task that you have not done regularly your muscles may not be there for you. For example, if your main activity

Personal Best Shaun Karp

for years has been walking, then one day you need to move more quickly to avoid traffic, your legs may not have the power you need to speed up and you may end up falling.

This is where “use it or lose it” comes into play. If you do not regularly put a baseline of demands on your body, especially your lower body, then you become weaker. This is why falling is the biggest health risk for seniors.

The good news is that keeping your leg muscles strong and having good balance helps to improve your mobility and prevent falls.

Try to do these exercises everyday for best results.

■ Chair squats: Stand in front of a sturdy chair. In a controlled and steady motion sit into the chair, then stand up. Work towards not using the arms on the chair and standing back up without resting.

Q A

Is it safe?

Botox has been used medically in Canada for almost 30 years and studied in over 4000 published studies. Botox is an organic compound that nobody is allergic to. In the hands of an experienced injector, adverse effects are rare.

Q A

When the Botox wears off; will I look even worse?

Certainly not. While the Botox is effective you will learn to use other muscles that “break the habit” of a negative frown or squint. Once the habit has been broken and facial muscles have been “retrained”, you may even require less Botox to maintain a youthful look year after year.

Q A

How often will I have to get injections to maintain the effects?

Initially you may require treatments every 3 to 4 months to have Botox be most effective. However, as the muscles relax you will

require less Botox at less frequent intervals.

Q A

Why is there such variability in cost?

At the present time there is only one approved Cosmetic Botox available in Canada.

Reputable physicians will only use this product and not imported competitor clones. The cost of genuine Botox Cosmetic supplies is a significant part of the treatment price.

Q A

Will Botox make me look “plastic”?

There is a “Science and Art” to the use of Botox to avoid stone face or plastic looking results.

The Art can only be perfected with experience. Experienced and ethical physicians will use the minimum of injections to soften your lines to give you a refreshed and relaxed appearance, and not inject excessively to inflate your face, or your budget!

Free consultations are available with a Cosmetic Technician at 604-929-3299.

Abuse: how to identify and break its cycle

EDUCATION TOWARDS FREEDOM

Early Childhood Grade1- Grade12

My husband sometimes loses his temper when we argue, slams the door as he storms out, and then won’t speak to me for the rest of the day. I feel very uncomfortable with this behavior, but it’s only on occasion. The rest of the time he is good to me and very good with our two pre-school age children. I wonder if I am in an abusive relationship.

Answer: That’s a really good question. Almost everyone dislikes a partner’s angry words, slamming doors, or silent treatment but they are not necessarily indicators of an abusive relationship.

Even in healthy relationships, couples can have conflict with strong, heated arguments, harsh words and battles of will. Two imperfect people clumsily weaving their lives together can collide regularly. However, the key characteristic that qualifies

an abusive relationship is a pattern of power and control to establish dominance of one partner over another. Too often we find this pattern carried out by males in heterosexual couples, but any intimate relationship could become an abusive one.

Victims should seek protection now From page 16

expense of yours, then his tactics are meant to control your behavior. His actions are not attempts to express or resolve conflict but are means to get his way.

Here’s a good question to ask: do you feel blamed for his anger? Does he tell you you’re the reason he yelled or lost his temper? This is the hallmark of an abusive relationship — the abusive partner does not take any responsibility for his behavior, or for the harm he has caused his partner. The use of force, although always inappropriate, can occur in even a healthy relationship.

But an abuser will say he hit, pushed or shoved because of something you did — that it’s your fault he behaved the way he did. And if he apologizes, he does so without meaning to change.

Although this pattern of blame is a distinctive characteristic of an abusive relationship, identifying whether you are in one or not, can still be confusing.

Just as no two people are alike, no abusive relationship is exactly alike. Each one will play out the dynamic of power and control differently. A woman’s experience of abuse can vary widely. One woman may have lots of personal freedom but no access to finances. Another woman may be isolated and unable to see her family or keep friends.

Yet another woman may have her own money and freedom but is constantly on edge with put downs and blame.

Additionally, if an abusive partner has substance abuse or mental health issues, a woman’s ability to understand what she is living with may be further confused (and especially if she is struggling with her own substance abuse or mental health problems).

Commonly, women in abusive relationships lose good feelings about themselves and are often plagued with self-doubt.

In order to adapt to the unpredictability of the abuse, a woman may have altered her behavior so much, she may not like herself. She may even agree with her abuser, that she is the one to blame because she has lost her temper or has retaliated with force.

In contrast, conflict in more healthy relationships will diminish to some degree over time. Those good qualities of your husband you describe can help bring you closer together, to soften differences and to create an atmosphere of mutual, loving consideration. But abusive relationships tend to deteriorate seeing the abuse often escalate no matter what you do to make things better. You may feel fearful or furious but unable to come to any resolve. And women

in abusive relationships will often linger over those good qualities of their partner, not to draw closer to them, but to keep from facing the inevitable hardships of leaving a committed relationship.

Abusive relationships differ also in the type of intervention required for couples.

In an abusive relationship, until the power imbalance is addressed and safety established for the partner experiencing the abuse, couples work may not be appropriate. Both partners inevitably are not honest for

different reasons and cannot benefit until the abuser has done some work on his own and she feels safer to work in counselling without fearing retaliation.

Couples that do not have the dynamic of abuse in their relationships can benefit from counselling at any time, making a good relationship better. Workshops geared to improving couples’ communication are also suitable.

If you are in any doubt about your relationship, seeing a professional who can help you identify and sort

through your feelings can help. No matter what kind of relationship you’re in, you can always make changes to improve your situation, as you listen to your inner voice and trust your instincts.

And for any woman who’s experiencing physical violence in her relationship, she should seek help and protection now.

Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC Core™

Still De f ying The Odds

UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phyto-plankton for use in the Aquaculture indus-try. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profi le, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutri-ents as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was in-explicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health.

Six years later, Tom Harper is healthy and, in his words, “feeling totally different. I’m pain free and I’m leading a good, healthy, normal life.” Not long after the product was offi cially launched in Canada and the U.S.A., the University of Utah completed a random-ized full double-blind placebo-control pilot study of UMAC-CORE over a 90 day period with human subjects. Doctors who con-ducted the studies were impressed with the results and concluded that UMAC-CORE really does help enhance the immune system and support mood fl uctuations, quality of sleep, and overall emotional well-being.

UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more atten-tion than Harper could have imagined. “Peo-ple were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand.

There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the offi ce so that we could get the product out, and they often did!”

Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 health food stores across Canada, in stores all across the United States and overseas in Australia,

NUTRAWAYS

New Zealand and Spain. Follow-ing the interest and countless testimonials from the public, UMAC-CORE has been written about in dozens of newspapers across North America – and the excitement continues to grow.

In fact, an independent website www.whyplankton.com offers an opportunity to view the amazing “Another Day” video documen-tary of Mr. Harper’s patent pending discov-ery.

Kim Iles of Choices 4 Wellness – a Retailer in Chatham Ontario says, “I recommend UMACCORE to everybody – it’s one of the top two products in our whole store and that’s because people see results! I tell people that if they needed to pick only one thing, then pick UMAC-CORE. It has all the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It’s a complete food and does so many different things in the body that it’s probably the most complete supplement to recommend.”

People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s effi cacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works – if you can see results with animals – and we do.”

Tom Harper—Creator of UMAC Core™ Marine Phytoplankton carefully inspects a sample of newly grown wild Phytoplankton at his Sea farm on Vancouver Island, BC

Also, once the majority of plankton is har-vested, the remaining plankton nutrients are returned back to the ocean – 3 to 5 times more than what was originally “borrowed” to com-mence the bloom cycle; helping to strengthen the base of the ocean’s food chain.

Extraordinary benefi ts have already been dis-covered with a product that has only been available for 5 years, with new clinical trials presently underway!

UMAC Core is available in Liquid and Capsule formulations. For information call Hedley En-terprises at 1-888-292-5660 or to locate a Retailer near you go on-line to: www.umaclife.com

Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I consider it one on the greenest companies in the world. Not only are we able to give back to human beings, we are also giving back to the planet.”

Unique Sea Farms’ only by-product is pure oxygen! Marine Phytoplankton consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen back into the atmosphere as it blooms in the one million litre outdoor open tanks.

Ensure clothing and equipment are ready to go I love winter and when we had our very first snowfall in the mountains a few weeks ago, I could feel my heart rate go up from excitement.

Supercharged Dave Norona

Skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling are all on my winter list and before I get out there I need to make sure that my body and gear are ready.

This usually means shoving all my summer stuff away in a corner and bringing out my winter toys and making sure I

have everything dialed for the long, snowy season ahead.

If you ski or snowboard then it is important that you have a professional go over your boards and bindings to make sure everything is in tiptop shape.

middle of the backcountry a simple gear issue can turn into a big problem. So, getting everything sorted from the warmth of my house is much easier and smarter. This also allows you to replace worn gear or put it on the Christmas list.

If you’re looking for new gear for winter shredding then there are tons of snowboard and ski shops on the North Shore.

Visit them all and see what good deals and packages they offer. One of my favorite shops is North Shore Ski & Board and Brett and his awesome staff will set you up with a new or used ride.

They are especially great for those growing kids who seem to outgrow their gear

I know most people think this doesn’t matter if you are new to a sport but it is actually more important to a beginner than a pro.

I always have Dave down at Crystal Glide (www. crystalglide.ca) go over my skis and he does a full grind, tune, and wax on them. This makes them perfect for the type of skiing I do and allows me to have more fun and ski better. It doesn’t matter if you’re a snowboarder or skier, beginner or ripper, having Dave dial your boards is the best thing you can do.

I also go through all my clothing to make sure everything is in good shape.

I do a lot of skiing and ski touring off snowmobiles and when you’re out in the

S T O R E

before the season even begins.

If you think you’re going to shred up the powder this season without a good fitness level then think again. Having a base fitness level will allow your body to adjust to using different muscles and allow you to stay out longer and stay away from injuries.

Jogging, hiking, cycling or the gym are all awesome ways to improve your fitness.

My sweetheart Kim has been doing crossfit and she is addicted big time.

It really doesn’t matter what you do but that you do

something and also to start out easy and slowly add more time and resistance as you improve.

Being in a rush to gain fitness is a surefire way to get injured.

It’s also a great idea to do yoga at the end of the day to strengthen and stretch those newfound muscles.

Adventure Dave Norona hopes you have an awesome season in the mountains! His mountain excursions are supported

by PowerBar, Ski-Doo and Genuine Guide Gear.

Radio station will film third video next year

From page 13

The concept was inspired by Playing for Change, an American non-profit dedicated to making a difference through music education. Among their initiatives is the production of videos of street musicians and buskers, recording them playing the same track, and subsequently combining the footage into one video.

“It was a popular viral phenomenon when they did the first couple of songs,” says Northey.

That approach was applied to Music Saves I and II. “People didn’t know who they were playing with,” says Northey. “They didn’t know how the collaboration was going to work.”

Instead, performers were filmed and recorded live in various locations around Vancouver and then edited together. They worked off a bare bones track — drum, bass and guitar — that was recorded at North Vancouver’s Bakerstreet Studios.

While Northey was guided by a vision of how the artists would relate in the end, it was also about what he calls “happy accidents.”

“Which is how music kind of works when people are collaborating,” he says. “Nobody really knows how it’s going to

turn out, you just have to have faith that everybody is good and that a combination of all those good things will lead to more good things.”

Editing was also done at Bakerstreet, owned by Paul Baker, who succumbed to cancer in September.

“He basically donated the place,” says Northey, of the generosity of his late friend and his support of the cause.

It’s hoped the video heightens the profile of VAMS’ positive impact on the lives of those involved as well as the community as a whole. VAMS was founded in 1988 by former Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan and Dave Symington. In the wake of sporting injuries, as quadriplegics, they experienced firsthand the challenges facing people with disabilities interested in making music. Through its many programs, VAMS works to remove those barriers faced by musicians, ensuring equal access for all.

“It doesn’t matter what hand you’ve been dealt, you make the same kind of music,” says Northey.

The new Music Saves video was premiered Nov. 3 at an event at Venue.

“When you combine those who everybody kind of knows, people who are ubiquitous with

Vancouver music, and people who should be, you just see all in one glance at the screen and in one hearing of the song how the playing field is levelled,” says Northey.

The event also featured live performances by some of the artists involved as well as VAMS musicians.

“It really felt like, ‘Well, that’s what you’re working for.

We just got the payoff right there,’” says Northey.

Based on the success, there are plans for a third edition of Music Saves next year.

While Northey is busy these days with his career — including an Odds gig at the Commodore Ballroom Nov. 25 with Bachman and Turner for Classic Rock 101’s Big 4-Oh Party!, finishing new albums by Odds and Stripper’s Union (the band’s side project with The Tragically Hip’s Rob Baker), as well as work for television, he does the music for Hiccups, the CTV show starring Brent Butt and Nancy Robertson — this month he’s also embarking on yet another charitable project.

Odds are among the featured performers in the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train (www8.cpr. ca).

GETFIT! Lower back pain?

Sunday, November 14, 2010 - North Shore News - A21 Advertisement

Lower back pain is one of the most common conditions encountered by people of all ages.

North Vancouver’s Moveo Sport and Rehabilitation Centre has a number of professionals who can help you manage and overcome lower back pain. A multi-disciplinary treatment centre, Moveo uses a coordinated team approach to make sure you get the right kind of treatment at the right time in the healing process.

...Moveo uses a coordinated team approach...

Meghan Meagher, a member of Moveo’s multi-disciplinary team, is a Registered Physiotherapist with a passion for helping people recover from back injuries.

“There are several causes of lower back pain,” says Meghan.

“Many back problems are a result of degeneration — wear and tear on the parts of the spine over many years. Another cause can be something as simple as posture. In the workplace, and even at home, our backs can become

subjected to the same postures for hours. How often do you get up and move around, allowing your spine to stretch and your muscles to work as they were made to do?”

As well as treating the symptoms, Moveo works to uncover the root causes .

“We perform a comprehensive physical examination of the posture and mobility of your spine, and assess the muscles and joints of your low back,” says Meghan.“We also assess the alignment and biomechanics of your lower body from your hips to your feet. Sometimes we perform a video gait analysis to get a detailed assessment of your muscle patterns and joint mechanics if your pain is provoked by walking or running.”

By understanding the root causes of your lower back pain, Moveo can initiate a comprehensive treatment plan

By understanding the cause of your lower back pain, Moveo’s uniquely effective treatment can begin a lot sooner.

Sports hall of fame inducts local hero

LAST night Ken Webb was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

For the former lightning fast left wing, it was a crowning moment in a short but impressive career that ended in 1953 when Ken was just 27 years old.

“When I got the call back in July, I just stood there, not being able to jump up and down any more, with tears coming into my eyes,” Ken recalls. “At my age, I had

pretty much given up on the hope of getting into the hall of fame, even though my late wife, Pearl, always believed I’d make it, so it was a great thrill and an enormous honour.”

During his 214 game career, Ken racked up 302 goals and 101 assists for 403 points. “Ken Webb was a tenacious two way player — lightning on attack, he checked hard both ways. Always warranting close attention by fans and opposition alike, Ken

Webb had a reputation as a beautiful stick handler and scoring ace,” wrote sports historian Stan Shillington.

According to him, Ken’s statistics would have been much higher if he hadn’t been plagued by an array of injuries as impressive as his scores.

The Webb family moved to Vancouver from Winnipeg, Man., in 1926, five months after Ken’s birth on Sept. 11, 1925. Growing up in the Dunbar area, he became interested in lacrosse from watching First Nations teams play.

“Sports were different in my day,” recalls Ken. “Most of us played a combination of lacrosse and soccer. There was no hockey because there

Laura Anderson were no ice rinks in our neighbourhoods — only the Forum out by the PNE.” By 1941, the year Ken was playing for the Point Grey Juveniles, the team was undefeated and won the provincial championship.

He filled in with the Richmond Farmers, a senior team, for two games that year.

“It was quite a shock to be asked to play. I think I got a goal and an assist in the game against the New Westminster Salmonbellies,” he remembers, and going by Ken’s encyclopedic memory for games and dates, he remembered correctly.

“I think our generation remembers differently,” says Ken, “because we had radio to listen to, not television to watch. I can remember playing in the Kerrisdale Arena and listening to the play-by-play that would be going out on the radio.

I’d think, ‘What game are they talking about?’ They’d describe the teams racing up and down the floor, when really the other team, not ours, was plodding along.

It’s amazing what comes back when you start thinking about it.”

In 1943, Ken joined the Richmond Farmers and proved his star quality with a 33-goal season in his rookie year.

juvenile A to senior lacrosse with the Richmond Farmers this year and went wild, woolly and wacky at Centre Park last night to the tune of eight goals and an assist,” reported The Sun in July 1943.

Ken was 18 that year and working at the Boeing plant on Sea Island. He looked up one day at work and saw Pearl Blakeman, who was working as a riveter. The two married in 1949.

In 1944, Ken was recruited by the Navy to play for the new HMCS Discovery squad. At war’s end, he returned to the Farmers, playing with them for six seasons until the team folded and he joined the Vancouver Burrards for another three years.

Ken and Pearl moved to North Vancouver in 1956, where they raised their four children, Kerri, Denise, Brady and Scott.

Ken coached the North Shore Reps lacrosse team, including son Scott, from 1970 to 1976 and son Brady in soccer from 1960 to 1972.

TASTE

This wine is made for food

AFTER just a couple of days in Portugal, it’s readily apparent that in this country wine is as much about what’s on the plate as what’s in the glass.

Unlike its much larger neighbour Spain, Portugal has been slower to join the headlong rush into emulating New World wine styles. However, not to be overlooked in its new role in recent years as a significant producer of table wines, the country has been turning its attention increasingly to export markets.

While the urge to expand horizons is strong, it’s not one that comes easily.

Portugal was a latecomer to the EU and this, combined with its relative isolation, has meant change comes slowly.

To gain an understanding of Portuguese wine it helps to turn to the ingredients and recipes that characterize the country and its and regions.

Right on the coast, not surprisingly — you will find great seafood, simply prepared.

Down a sidestreet in Oporto, we find Abadia, a local favourite that serves fork-tender octopus (some suggest it’s boiled and plunged into cold water seven times to attain that tenderness), and small sardines known as Joaquinsinhos.

It wouldn’t be hard to drink Vinho Verde with the sardines but we veer instead towards Borges 2009 Branco (White) Reserva, which has good structure and some

clean citrus and mineral notes that go well with the relatively mild flavour of these small, crispy, strong-tasting fish.

For the crab, which comes with perfectly oliveoil roasted, small Yukon Gold-like potatoes we opt for quite full-bodied Dao Casa de Santar ’07 (made mainly with Touriga National), which sports generous berry

and ripe black fruit flavours and plenty of acidity wrapped in solid tannins. It works well with the crab, onion and green peppers but also, especially with the delicious red bean rice “soup” that accompanies.

Later we encounter specialties from the Beira interior region, close to the mountains near the Spanish border. Specialties here range from suckling lamb and goat, served baked or roasted. Here again, wines such as Almeida Garrett Touriga National, or Touriga and Tinto Roriz variations are a natural choice — even more so with the superb chouriço, blood sausage and other styles found here in abundance.

Also a worthy discovery is Siria (from Quinta Currais, 2009), a gently flinty toned white.

In a very small way, organic and biodynamic

winemaking is also on the rise.

At Dao region’s Casa de Mouraz, António Lopes Ribeiro and Sara Dionísio have been making wines with organically grown grapes since 2006. The winery is situated off a narrow lane in the 1,000-year-old village of Mouraz, sourrounded by vineyards and olive groves.

Sara says the couple were able to attract farmers to make the move to organic after the local co-op collapsed, although finding biodynamic partners is more challenging. However, the range of wines tasted here, including an earth-toned and well balanced ’09 rosé, and the quite Pinot-like, mineralstreaked ’07 Mouraz Private Selection, are among the best wines tasted all week.

Hopefully, they’ll show up in B.C. sometime. More to come on Portugal next week.

THE refurbished hillside farm at La Vialla looks down onto the Tuscan plain.

FARM VACATION IN TUNE WITH THE TIMES Arezzo, Italy: Described by Livy as one of the Capitae Etruriae (Etruscan capitals), Arezzo is believed to have been one of the 12 most important Etruscan cities — the so-called Dodecapolis.

Conquered by the Romans in 311 B.C., Arretium became a military station on the via Cassia, the road to expansion by republican Rome into the basin of the Po. — Wikipedia

Tuscan harvest

Contributing Writer

AREZZO, ITALY— Life, when experienced from the top of an olive tree, is rather beautiful. When you are up on the sixth rung of a ladder, and surrounded by the grey-green branches, the grim concerns of the future seem rather distant compared to the ravishing presence of the here and now. The autumnal Tuscan sky is turquoise and cloudless, the atmosphere fresh rather than searing hot, and the plump olives are there, in their thousands, for the picking.

In fact olive-picking on an Italian farm might be the perfect holiday for these frugal times. There is a sort of honest virtue about this activity, it’s the perfect credit-crunch accompaniment to the traditional Italian charms of culture, coffee, and cuisine, and quite a bit more interesting than getting sunburned on a beach.

The family-run farm of La Vialla, in the village of Castiglion Fibocchi just 10 minutes’ drive from the Renaissance town of Arezzo and 60 minutes from Florence, welcomes visitors year-round. This is a part of Italy where you will be clicking as fast as you are picking, since almost every single landscape vista, bell tower, terracotta roof or cypress tree looks like it has been styled by Condé Nast.

“Alore!” says Bandino lo Franco, the youngest of the three brothers who run La Vialla, “Who wants to pick the olives?”

“Me! Me! Me!” yell my four children, aged five to 13 who are hardly ever allowed to climb anything at home, let alone when armed with giant plastic orange olive-picking combs. They can hardly believe their luck. They each grab a comb and swarm up ladders leaning against the trees, combing out olives as they go. They (the olives, that is, not the children) plop down onto netting carefully positioned beneath the trees.

When the tree is considered empty, which takes a pro about 30 minutes but a five-year-old about two hours, the netting is simply lifted up and the fruit poured into a crate. There is no tiresome picking, pulling, or indeed carrying. Of anything.

There are no nasty branches to cut, no prickles to avoid, or back-breaking weights

to juggle. Garnering olives must be the easiest form of fruit picking known to man, and makes the harvesting of hops, apples or blackberries look positively torturous by contrast. Amazingly, this enterprise keeps the children entertained all morning, and the next day too.

Each tree provides about 24 kilograms worth of black and green olives, which will yield a single bottle of extra-virgin olive oil, pressed at La Vialla’s own ancient mill. From October to December, two giant circular stones press olives from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m., every single day. As the farm runs on biodynamic principles, there is only one pressing, since a second would involve solvents. The residual paste left from this original pressing is recycled and used as fertilizer.

Olive-picking jaunts have sprung up on farms all over Italy, and many people have a small grove of olives in their garden from which you can pick, but La Vialla is the one of the largest. Guests stay in one of around 20 restored 18th-century self-catering cottages which are surrounded by woodland on the tranquil 3,000acre estate. The cottages are furnished with vintage country-style antiques, and centrally-heated in winter while wholly shuttered in readiness for the blistering summer. They are also good value at as little as US$84 per cottage.

Generous welcome baskets of food, oil, wine and eggs are provided free of charge in the modernised kitchens. This means you can cook your own supper on arrival if you wish, or if you prefer there is a formal dinner down at the main farmhouse available nightly for an extra charge. On our first morning, after a monumental feast of rustic Italian food and a perfect sleep between crisp linen sheets, we are ready to give our all to the hillside groves.

After about three hours of olive picking, which included (for the children) games of putting olives down their necks, and (for us) games of lying down on the netting and intelligently looking at the sky, it was time for lunch, which suddenly appeared on trestle tables, al fresco, and consisted of a three-course menu of mouth-watering dishes entirely sourced from the farm.

As well as the oil from more than 25,000 olive trees, La Vialla’s 3,000 acres produce free-range eggs from rare pedigree chickens, tomatoes bursting with flavour, flour for pasta, sheep milk for pecorino cheese and bushels of grapes which go into 13 different types of wine, including Spumante, Vin Santo and See Farm page 34

Grappa. The produce is all sold in the farm shop or crated up into hampers and mailed out to customers across Europe and beyond.

If harvesting isn’t your thing, or you come out of season, you can go for long walks in the acres of protected woodland (in which there are hares, porcupines and wild boar) or visit the riding school on site.

I trotted off into the hills on a rather large Tuscan horse, while the elder three children all learnt how to do rising trot on ponies in the riding school, and my husband took the youngest off for a juice in tiny Castiglion.

And just discernible from the steep olive groves, glowing in the shimmering Tuscan light, is the bell tower of the Renaissance gem of Arezzo, where you can visit the monumental frescoes

by Piero de la Francesca in the town church, listen to musicians playing historic trumpets and indulge in yet more delicious food.

The houses are all a good distance away from one another, so there is no sense of being on a “holiday estate.” There is no television and there is no WiFi. Apparently this caused one person such trauma they had to check out straight away, but as far as we were concerned, it was a major attraction, since it allows families to escape en masse from the diverting claims of Facebook and email, and relax wholesale in the bosky bosom of Tuscany; reading, walking, and looking at the stars.

“What we want to do,” says brother No. 2, Antonio, over a lunch of Chianti, garlic and tomato bruschetta, Tuscan bread soup, sausages and beans, “is offer people a way to understand Italian produce.

Here, you can see it growing and witness it being picked and pressed. It gives people who work all year in a big city the chance to come and work with

He slurps a giant green slug of peppery, pungent olive oil onto my soup. “Our new oil. Pressed in the same way since the 16th century.”

The brothers, Bandino, Antonio and the eldest, “El Capo,” Gianni, are bursting with pride about the viability of their wholly eco-friendly enterprise, which runs on solar power. It was founded by their father Piero lo Franco, a textile businessman who sold up and investedhismoneyintheTuscan countryside around 30 years ago, just at the time when the population was shifting towards the towns and abandoning

This Christmas, the whole family will be focused on packing and sending out hundreds of hampers full of the farm’s wine, oil and tomato sauce so fans can relive the vivid taste of the Tuscan countryside which is its specialty.

As for me, I’ll certainly treat olive oil with more respect the next time I sling it in the frying pan.

If you go: La Vialla is just outside Arezzo, about 60 minutes’ drive from Florence, roughly in the middle of the Italian boot, and the farm will arrange transfers from either Pisa (Florence) or Perugia airports.

Pisa (Florence) airport is served by 18 airlines including several European budget carriers such as Ryanair (www.ryanair.com) and easyJet (www.easyjet. com), making a visit a cheap and convenient side trip from Berlin, Paris, London, Dublin, and many other points across Europe. Perugia is also served

one is gnawing a bone the other will wait patiently until the other is done. For example, once Piper is done Zumi will calmly come over in a non-threatening manner and take the bone, with no fussing or fighting between them.

As youngsters they had moments of typical dog behaviour that included growling or hoarding. That behaviour was met by the toy or bone being taken away immediately and not replaced with anything.

They both had to remain calm and submissive on their beds. They also could not go and get another toy to play with. The toy box was completely off-limits. When they both were calm and submissive; looking like they were about to fall asleep (and sometimes they did), the toys or bones would come back out and they were allowed to play with them or gnaw on them as long as they remained on their bed. If they chose to share a bed with their chosen toy or bone they were allowed to do that as long as they were showing respectful and submissive behaviour towards each other.

As adults neither of them would consider stealing a toy from another dog while on an outing. They are never allowed to do it with each other inside the home without some consequence or privilege taken away and as a result would never do it outside of the home either.

Consistent leadership, boundaries and benevolent limitations started early and followed consistently throughout your dog’s life will give you the dog of your dreams.

Handsworth claims 4th straight North Shore v-ball title

NORTH Vancouver’s Jessica Smith earned her fourth win in as many races this season for the Simon Fraser University cross-country running team at the 2010 Biola University International held in Orange, Calif.

Oct. 23.

THE Handsworth Royals senior girls volleyball team showed once again why they are labeled the best in the province as they knocked off Saint Thomas Aquinas to win the North Shore premier league championship in front of a raucous home crowd Nov. 8.

The 3-0 win gave Handsworth, a AAAA team, their fourth straight North Shore title with the last three coming in wins over STA, a smaller AA school.

“Even though we won 3-0, STA came out and played really well,” said Handsworth head coach Tom Oxland. “It was really good volleyball.”

The match hinged on the second set after the Royals claimed the opener 25-20. STA was in command for much of the second but a late rally from Handsworth ended with the home team stealing a 25-23 victory in the set.

“That was pretty huge, to win that one,” said Oxland.

“That was clearly a set that they needed to win and we just eked it out right at the end.”

The senior runner, an Argyle grad, posted a time of 17:39.0 to beat second-place finisher Kelsey Gasner of Biola University by more than 10 seconds. “(Jessica) just ran away from the field today, she looked great,” said head coach Brit Townsend in an SFU release.

In the fifth race of the season Smith’s teammate and fellow North Shore racer Helen Crofts kept the SFU winning streak alive with a victory at the 2010 NAIA Association of Independent Institutions championships held Nov. 6 in San Diego.

The West Vancouver secondary grad posted a time of 17:39 on the five-kilometre course, winning by three seconds after a strong final kick.

Smith’s personal winning streak, however, is still alive as she was held out of the San Diego race with a slight injury.

“We wanted to make sure thatJessicaisreadyforNationals, and she wasn’t going to be 100 per cent today, so rather than aggravating her injury we held her out,” said Townsend. “But our team really stepped up . . .

The scoop: Collingwood’s Grace Thompson took the competition by storm at the North Shore cross-country running zone meet held at Don Ross secondary in Squamish. Grace stayed with the pack for the first five kilometres of the race and broke away with one km to go to take first place. This was Grace’s first year competing in high school meets, and she is the first Grade 8 girl in 15 years to win the open division race. At the provincial championships held Nov. 6 in Vicotria Grace finished 97th out of 280 racers, competing against runners up to four years older than her.

The scoop: Devin has consistently improved every year throughout his five years running high school cross-country for Argyle and the Hershey Harriers Athletic Club.

This season proved to be his most successful as he emerged as the leader on the North Shore, winning four out of five races, including a first place finish at the North Shore zone finals. Devin was the top North Shore finisher at the high school provincial championships, finishing 21st out of 269 runners. His coaches say Devin is a team player and leader on both his school and club team who strives to improve every year and every race.

Parry bogeyed the 12th and 15th holes while McCann birdied 13 and 16, a four-shot swing that put McCann into the lead for good.

Turf title SENTINEL’S Zoe Richards (left) battles Emily Martin of the Handsworth Gold team in the North Shore junior championship field hockey game Nov. 8 at William Griffin.

Handsworth overcame a stellar performance from Sentinel goalie Rachel Rafford with Nina Tajbakhsh scoring the game’s only goal to give the Royals a 1-0 win.

Royals ranked No. 1 in B.C. From page 42

Teams get frustrated — they think sometimes they have to do something special to get a point,” said Oxland. “If our serve reception is good, our setting is as good as anybody in the province.

As long as we make the first pass well, we know that the second pass is going to be good. . . . In volleyball if you can be sure of making the first two passes crisp then you’re going to have a good attack. If you can just do that consistently over the length of a three- or five-set match, you’re going to do well.”

Leading the way on defence is Grade 12 libero Emily Franklin, one of the team’s co-captains.

“Emily Franklin has been just great,” said Oxland. “When one talks about our ball control and our defence being so good . . . it all starts with the libero. That’s the person who’s out there passing more balls and playing more defence against the other team than anybody. She’s sort of our general on defence.”

With an undefeated season on the North Shore under their belts the Royals are now setting their sights on winning their third consecutive provincial title. While most sports don’t see those kinds of dynasties at the high school level, volleyball is a game that particularly favours experienced and confident teams, said Oxland.

“The hardest one was the first one for us, for sure. It’s a very long tournament. It’s three days —

the first day is pool play, and then you have to win four straight best of five matches. It’s an endurance contest but it’s also mentally fatiguing, beyond just physically. There is this mental thing, especially in volleyball, we’re you need to continually stay positive and just try to step it up.”

Before Handsworth won its first title Semiahmoo secondary claimed three straight championships. In 2008 the Royals actually ended Semiahmoo’s bid for a fourth title in the championship game.

“Knowing what it takes to do it is what I think is the reason that you see some of those repeat champions. Having said that, you have to have the right makeup of a team, you have to have some good fortune along the way, you have to stay injury-free,” said Oxland. “The fact that many of our kids have been there before really bodes well for us. It’s not like they get all freaked out by having a big crowd — whenever we play STA we seem to have a big crowd.”

The Royals aren’t the only North Shore team looking to repeat — STA, led by all-star hitter Katie Crawford, will be looking to claim their second straight provincial AA title. The Fighting Saints, currently ranked No. 2 in AA, also won the Catholic schools provincial championships in October.

ELLIS - Gladys Margaret June 15, 1927- October 29, 2010 Born in Vancouver to Lucy Kate and John Edward Bell, passed away peacefully in Evergreen Center (Lions Gate Hospital) at the age of 83. She is lovingly remembered by her 2 sons, Norman (Pat) and John (June) and her 3 grand children Jana, Mark and Scott. She was predeceased by her husband, confidant, partner and love of her life, Dr. John Ellis (SFU) in 2008.

Glady graduated from Lord Bing High School in 1945 as a beautiful, spirited, musical and athletic young woman, ready for the challenges of the world. She taught primary grades until she married John (a principal) and devoted her life to creating a family. Her family was so precious to her. Gladys kept active in St Catherine’s Guild and established so many enduring friendships there. Upon meeting her, one would never know that Glady had been stricken with Crohn’s disease at the age of 25. Many of the experimental treatments that kept her alive, paved the way for more sophisticated and less invasive treatments of this devastating disease. A service will be held at St Catherine’s Church on Friday November 19 at 1:00 with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in Glady’s name to the CH.I.L.D. foundation. Family and friends carry the memory of Gladys love and indomitable spirit. We miss you mom.

When we are sad and lonely And everything goes wrong, We seem to hear you whisper, “Cheer up and carry on.”

Each time we see your photo You seem to smile and say, “Don’t cry I’m only sleeping We’ll meet again someday.”

Evelyn spent most of her life in Kenora. Over the years she was active in many local groups both as a participant and a volunteer.

After graduating from the University of Manitoba, she taught High School in Kenora.

She was a golfer and curler in her early years. She helped with Fun & Fitness at Pinecrest, worked at the hospital gift shop, sang in the G Clef choir and she especially enjoyed her years with the writing group and the duplicate bridge club.

In 1989 Ev moved to Vancouver where she enjoyed going to live theatre and concerts and participating as a swimmer at the BC Senior Games, skating, lawnbowling and playing duplicate bridge.

KENNEDY - Donald Joseph passed away peacefully on November 8th, 2010, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on August 3, 1927, he is predeceased by his loving wife of 52 years, Noreen, and infant son Edward. Survived by their six sons; John, Jim (Grace), Don (Susan), Rod (Paige), Michael (Janet), David, and ten grandchildren. Also survived by his brother Bill (Toronto), sister Mary (Stratford), brothers-in-law Gordon Gillespie (Winnipeg), Leo Leydon (Weyburn), and sister-in-law Dulcie Hampshire (Montreal).

Don mercifully brought his family to Vancouver from Winnipeg in 1966! After retiring from the printing industry in 1990, he was able to enjoy many a day at the Seymour Golf Club, where he was a member since 1967. Don will always be remembered for his sense of humour, fatherly guidance, welcoming nature, gentleness and patience. These traits were exemplified in his loving care of his wife during her final years. Second to being with the family, he loved golfing and spending time playing cards with friends. The family would like to thank the volunteers and staff at Lions Gate Hospital and the North Shore Hospice for providing gentle and warm care for him and his family during his final days. In lieu of flowers, his family would appreciate donations to the North Shore Hospice, or another charity of your choosing. Mass will be held Saturday, November 20th at 11:00am, St. Pius X Church, 1150 Mount Seymour Road, North Vancouver. Reception will follow at Seymour Golf Club.

KURUCZ - Elizabeth Dear mom has sadly lost her battle with cancer after fighting stoically for 23 years. She was a strong, brave woman who rarely complained during the long struggle. Born November 11, 1931 in Sopron, Hungary, she escaped the 1957 revolution with her husband Frank who she met when they were just 15 and their young son Frank Jr. The family moved to West Vancouver in 1972. Mom is survived by her loving husband Frank, son Tom (Dana) and her cherished grandchildren Ty and Taylor. She is predeceased by son Frank who died in 2003. Family was always mom’s number 1 priority. Ty and Taylor will treasure their weekly visits and wonderful memories over the many years. Mom was a tireless supporter of dad. She never complained about the long days and constant interruptions into their personal lives, due to his busy and high profile life. Dad has always said she was the best companion he could ever ask for, and he was so proud to have her at his side. Mom was an avid and accomplished painter. She loved nature and the outdoors. Yew Lake in Cypress Bowl was a favorite spot. The family thanks Dr. Klimo for his many years of care, the staff of Lions Gate Hospital and the North Shore Hospice where mom spent her final days in peace and comfort.

We couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and thoughtful medical team.

In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to the BC Cancer Society, Lions Gate Hospital Foundation, or charity of your choice. A celebration of mom’s life will be held at the West Van Seniors Centre from 1:30-3:00pm on Sunday November 28. Please reply to Sandy Jamieson at sanjak@telus.net if you would like to attend.

Aries March 21 - April 19: Your last week of mystery, Aries – and of chances to benefit from others’ largesse or deep pockets. Here are some keywords for action within this arena: Invest, capitulate, confess, fix health, rest Sunday to Tuesday dawn. Ignore an acquaintance’s advice! Pay, buy, sell, “stamp” agreements, embrace or make peace with someone, inventory your possessions Friday/Saturday.

Governments, courts, institutions, lawyers, travel matters, publishers, head office, partners, antagonists, mate, public, opportunities, agreements – all these, indecisive or inactive in recent months, finally march forward.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Relationships remain important.

Study opportunities, agreements, relocation prospects, competition and whether you should join ‘em or fight ‘em.

But don’t study too long – act soon – or immediately (Monday daytime, Wednesday eve, dawn Thursday right through Saturday). Recent delays in work, employment, machinery and health zones end Thursday. Longer delays (since July) also end, in social, planning, sexual, investment, financial and lifestyle zones. Get going – reach out! Happiness, flirtation, social delights, even love arrive Sunday/Monday. Rest midweek. You shine Friday/Saturday!

Gemini May 21-June 20: Your last week of work and drudgery, Gemini. Soon, new horizons will arrive! Meanwhile, tackle chores. Buy or repair machinery, vehicles. Adjust diet, nutrition, health regimens. Your career is highlighted Sunday to Tuesday dawn. Be ambitious – you could net a promotion; VIPs, bosses or parents will approve of or aid your projects, proposals. Optimism, friendship, entertainment enter Tuesday p.m. through Thursday: avoid intellectual or ethical disputes at work. Rest, retreat Friday/Saturday. Four months of delays end in negotiations, partnerships, relocation, career and “judgment.”

Act early – Sunday to Tuesday favour chasing money, seeking a pay raise, cultivating new clients, etc. Monday’s best. Communications, errands, details, travel, casual acquaintances stymie you Tuesday, but they bring interest, happy social interludes (Wednesday) and some intriguing money ideas (Thursday). This week ends a four-month delay in earnings, purchasing power, and dealing with possessions. Beware a bit of deception from higher-ups midweek. Head home Friday/Saturday for a rejuvenating rest – excitement’s coming!

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Love, understanding, higher learning, far travel, publishing, religion, cultural involvements – these are still your main theme. Your energy and magnetism surge upward Sunday to Tuesday – and your luck soars Monday. Take advantage, get something done, propose, impress someone! Chase money Tuesday eve to Thursday – your idea factory might be a little wobbly, but your practical instincts are right, especially Wednesday. This week ends four months of delay in your ambitions. A lot of that delay emerged from your own indecision: that ends too.
