Parking lot stunt badly hurts NV teen RCMP expect to interview driver of car two teens may have jumped on Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

NORTH Vancouver RCMP are continuing to investigate a bizarre incident that has left a 16-year-old male Seycove secondary student in critical condition in hospital after he fell off the bumper of a moving vehicle Friday night.

Police said the Grade 11 teen had been riding on the bumper of a Volkswagen Golf in the parking lot of Seycove secondary school around 10:30 p.m. when he fell off and sustained serious injuries. The teen has since undergone surgery and remained in Vancouver General Hospital on Monday. Police said the driver of the car left the scene before ofﬁcers arrived but he has since been identiﬁed. Police are still hoping to speak with him, said Cpl. Peter DeVries, spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP detachment. Devries said two teenagers were apparently involved in riding on the rear bumper of the car. The second teen wasn’t injured. Police don’t know if the teens had arranged with the driver to jump on the bumper or if the driver even knew they were there, said DeVries. See Counsellors page 3

THE North Shore saw its ﬁrst bear killing of 2010 over the weekend when police were forced to kill a black bear last Friday after it raided several refrigerators and garbage’s in a residential area in West Vancouver.

The bear was killed near Ottawa Avenue and 25th Street by West Vancouver police Const. Greg Trenholm. WVPD spokesman Sgt. Scott Findlay said that killing a wild animal is absolutely the last resort but in this case the ofﬁcer was left with no choice. “You just don’t know what the bear is going to do,” Findlay said.

WV top cop supports civilian oversight Public perception crucial to support of police, says Lepine

James Weldon

jweldon@nsnews.com

WEST Vancouver’s police chief has added his voice to the call for civilian oversight of British Columbia’s police forces in the wake of Justice Thomas Braidwood’s findings in his inquiry into the death of Robert Dziekanski. “The day has long since past where the public can be expected to have unequivocal confidence that the police can play an impartial role while they investigate themselves,” said WVPD Chief Const. Peter Lepine in a release. “It matters not what I think, but what the public perceive.” Braidwood’s second report, published June 18, called for the creation of a civilian Independent Investigation Office which would look into any police incident in which a person dies or comes to serious harm, or in which an officer is alleged to have broken

the law. The office’s mandate would encompass all police in the province, including both the RCMP — such as North Vancouver’s detachment — and municipal forces, which would include West Vancouver. After a five-year transitional period, no current or former Canadian police officers would be allowed to serve on the team. A body of that type would ultimately help officers do their jobs, said Lepine. “The men and women of the West Vancouver Police Department currently enjoy one of the highest levels of public support of any community,” he said. “I don’t want to ever see a day when this support is compromised because of matters of perception. From my perspective, the sooner the office is created, the better off the men and women of our department will be.” Braidwood’s report was the final product of a two-part inquiry that started in 2008 into the tasering death of Dziekanski at the Vancouver International Airport Oct. 14, 2007. Dziekanski, who had just immigrated from Poland, was trapped in the airport for 10 hours due largely to miscommunication. Exhausted and frustrated, he began to act erratically. RCMP responded to the scene and tasered him multiple times. A few minutes later, he stopped breathing. Braidwood’s first report, which looked at policies around the use of conducted energy weapons, was released in July last year. Among

other things, it concluded that the province should tighten regulations around training for the devices and restrict the circumstances under which they can be deployed. Braidwood also called for regular testing of the weapons. The second phase of the inquiry looked at the behaviour of airport employees, customs officials and the RCMP toward the victim. Braidwood’s conclusions were a scathing indictment of the “shameful” conduct of the four officers WVPD Chief Const. involved, as well as their Peter Lepine supports misleading accounts of what the creation of a took place. Multiple taserings civilian Independent were not justified under the Investigation Office. circumstances, he wrote, and the officers’ claims that they had wrestled Dziekanski to the ground were “deliberate misrepresentations.” Their behaviour “had repercussions that extend far beyond this one incident,” wrote Braidwood. “Mr. Dziekanski’s death appears to have galvanized public antipathy for the force and its members. That is regrettable, because the most important weapon in the arsenal of the police is public support.” The British Columbia Association of Chiefs of Police, on whose executive both Lepine and North Vancouver RCMP Supt. Tonya Enger serve, called on the province in November 2009 to create an investigative body similar to that described by Braidwood. The organization didn’t go into specifics, however. “The biggest thing is, in order to provide the public confidence in the investigations, there has to be independence,” said Enger in an interview with the North Shore News earlier this year. “Which model is chosen will be up to the . . . politicians and bureaucrats.” In the wake of the first Braidwood report, the West Vancouver police tightened their policies with regard to the use of Tasers, their testing and the reporting of their deployment, according to Lepine.

ECONOMIC ACTION PLAN

N. Van boatbuilder wins $650K federal contract

Jane Seyd

jseyd@nsnews.com

FOUR new ﬁbreglass boats built in North Vancouver will be used to map the ocean ﬂoor after longtime boat builder Hourston Glascraft was awarded a $650,000 federal contract.

The new boats, 23-foot sedan cruisers powered by Volvo D4 diesel engines, will be put into service as hydrographic survey boats for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The boats will be equipped with instruments to measure the depth of the ocean floor, used to create and update marine navigation charts. The first of the four boats is already finished,

said Bill Hourston, owner of the company. The other three boats will be completed by March of next year. The vessels will be based in Ontario and deployed all over Canada. They will replace existing vessels that are nearing the end of their service life. The four most recent boats are among about 50 boats the company has built for various federal government departments — from the Coast Guard to the RCMP — since the mid-1980s. One boat provides about 10 weeks of work for three people, said Hourston. Hourston said on average the company makes about 50 boats See Hourston page 5

“Conservation had already determined the bear dangerous so he was left with pretty much no alternative.” When the officer arrived at the scene Friday afternoon, he witnessed the bear attempting to enter an open window. Findlay said Trenholm had to act before the bear was able to enter the residence. The 100-kilogram bear had a history of causing trouble on the North Shore. He was tagged and relocated two years ago when he was caught roaming in urban areas. On Thursday, West Vancouver police were called to a residence in the 2400-block of Skilift Road and found the same bear inside the home’s kitchen while three terrified occupants were present. When the officer arrived, he scared the bear off but was unable to track it. The bear had invaded at least three residences and had been spotted on numerous properties over the past two weeks. He was seen eating brownies, waffles and cat-food among other things. Findlay said that public safety is of paramount importance. “This bear developed knowledge and he knew where the food was,” Findlay said. “He often entered through the rear door, knowing where the kitchen often is.” Conservation uses a bear behaviour chart in which there are six levels of conflict. Once a bear reaches Level 6, where the bear is frequently feeding on non-natural foods and enters occupied buildings, officials are obligated to destroy the bear. According to Tony Webb, spokesman for the North Shore Black Bear Network, bears such as this one have become addicted to garbage. Webb said that people are the ones to blame for causing this addiction in bears. “We have to be situation aware,” Webb said. “But sadly many people aren’t.” Bears literally follow their noses and if people do not properly contain their garbage a bear is sure to sniff it out — even if it is in a garage or shed. Webb said that about 80 per cent of people comply with bear smart garbage disposal on the North Shore. Using bear-resistant containers, double wrapping food waste, not placing garbage in outdoor sheds and garages, and waiting until the morning of garbage disposal to place garbage on the curbside are a few ways to ensure that the bears keep out Webb said. “We need to learn to give bears our respect, not our garbage,” Webb said.

Thornthwaite pleads not guilty MLA will go to trial for impaired driving Jane Seyd

jseyd@nsnews.com

NORTH Vancouver Liberal MLA Jane Thornthwaite has had a trial set for next April in North Vancouver provincial court on a charge of impaired driving. Thornthwaite, who did not appear in court, entered a plea of not guilty to the charge through her lawyer’s representative in provincial court Thursday afternoon. A trial involving two police ofﬁcers and one civilian witness is tentatively scheduled

for 10 months’ time. The ﬁrst-term MLA and former school district chairwoman was stopped at a North Vancouver RCMP roadblock at 1 a.m. Feb. 23 while driving home from a party at Northern House during the Olympic Games. Ofﬁcers collected a breath sample that allegedly indicated a blood alcohol concentration of 110 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millitres of blood. The legal limit is 80. Thornthwaite released a statement later that day describing her actions as “inexcusable.” “Drinking and driving is dangerous and completely unacceptable. I know that and make no excuses for what I did,” she said at the time.

Thornthwaite was formally charged in April after a special prosecutor, Vancouver lawyer Mark Jette, reviewed her case. Charges involving public figures are often independently reviewed to avoid any appearance of improper influence. Thornthwaite is not the first public figure on the North Shore to be charged with impaired driving. Former North Vancouver school board chairman Chris Dorais escaped without a criminal record when he pleaded guilty to a Motor Vehicle Act charge of driving without reasonable consideration in May of last year. Dorais was originally charged with driving with a blood alcohol concentration of over 80 after he was pulled over for allegedly speeding on Highway 1 in March 2008. Dorais subsequently lost his seat on the school board.

Extra buses ready to help Ambleside’s July 1 crunch WEST Vancouver Blue Buses will be out in force Thursday to deal with the double whammy of Canada Day celebrations and the Lilith music festival.

TransLink is expecting a transit crunch in the Ambleside and Dundarave areas on the evening of July 1 when thousands of people flock to the waterfront to take in the annual firework display and to attend Sarah McLachlan’s much-touted all-female musical tour, which was moved to Ambleside Park recently from Pitt Meadows. Extra buses will be staged in the 1300-block of Marine Drive to be dispatched to where demand is highest. Buses will also be at the ready to take up additional load during the day. The SeaBus will also be making extra crossings, running every 15 minutes until 6:30 p.m. — unusually frequent for a holiday. Two years ago, Canada Day traffic ground to a halt on the North Shore for six hours when police closed the Second Narrows Memorial Crossing to help a distraught woman. — James Weldon

Bear necessity I

T may strike some readers that in reporting West Vancouver’s latest bear kill, and in reiterating once again the bear-aware mantra, our writers are beating a tired drum. ButasFriday’sincidentdemonstrates, it’s a drum that still needs beating. Since the North Shore Black Bear Network and other organizations began their concerted campaign to educate the public on bear attractants, the majority of residents have taken the message to heart. They have taken down bird feeders. They’ve begun keeping their garbage inside their homes until the morning of pickup. They’ve been collecting fruit fallen from trees, bringing pet food indoors, double-bagging food waste and using bear-proof containers. Unfortunately, a substantial minority

continue to ignore the message. In doing so, they are not just raising the odds of an encounter; they are ensuring an encounter takes place. Our community abuts a forest with a robust bear population. The convenience of creek corridors and the animals’ astonishing sense of smell mean that if food is present, they will ﬁnd it. Once they’ve become accustomed to an unnatural source, they will come back to it again and again. When the behaviour becomes ingrained, they get shot. The precautions necessary to avoid this sad outcome are simple. The information is readily accessible. If you’re one of that minority, please take a moment to glance over the warnings at www.northshorebears.com — and heed them.

Black Bear Network doing a good job Dear Editor: In response to the North Shore resident who doesn’t like the activities of the Black Bear Network, I have three comments to make. First, and foremost, the safety of our children is at risk when bears come through our neighbourhoods. On several occasions, a bear has passed through my backyard carrying neighbours garbage. Secondly, anyone who can afford to live in North Vancouver can afford to buy a bear-proof garbage can or build a closed shelter for keeping their garbage. Thirdly, I care for these bears and understand that many of them are killed once they come to rely on our garbage as a food source. In short, I value the Black Bear Network for trying to keep conﬂict between bears and humans to a minimum. Ilona Chapman North Vancouver

Who parents these drunk vandals?

Dear Editor: On Saturday, June 19th at 2:50 a.m., we were awakened by what sounded like an explosion and breaking glass. Upon entering out dining room we were walking on shredded glass. There was a large hole in out dining room window and a large rock from our front yard pond on the floor. We immediately called the police who arrived in a few minutes and then checked our yard for other damage. On our front patio by the water pond, one of our chairs had been used, and there had been beer spilled on the patio. As the officer was about to leave we heard further acts of vandalism at the 15th and Boulevard bus stop. The officer quickly left for the bus stop, and I followed on foot to assist the one police officer if needed (I am a retired policeman). At the bus stop the investigating officer had confronted three male youths, who had been drinking and begun their destruction of properties.

Visit to Emergency showcases health care efﬁciency

A back-up ofﬁcer arrived and the culprits were made to clean-up the garbage and right the overturned paper dispensers, etc. We understand that no charges will be laid for this public mischief, and there is no admissible evidence to connect them to our damage. So the victimized are once again left to clean-up the mess, and meet the ﬁnancial cost of low-life vandalism — not to mention the terrifying experiences this has been. To the parents of these youths: Where were you when they were wandering the street intoxicated at 3 a.m., terrifying residents in their homes and committing public mischief? If anyone knows those who committed the crime at our home, please contact the RCMP. I may be able to visually identify them. Jack and Ruby Morton North Vancouver

Lighthouse legislation provides protection

Dear Editor: I was pleased to read Benjamin Alldritt’s June 13 story Pt. Atkinson Lighthouse Up for Sale. As a former Cub leader, I have accompanied groups to the Point Atkinson Lighthouse. We were amazed at its appeal and ability to inform visitors of the magic and the history represented by this lighthouse, and lighthouses in general. Built in 1874, the Point Atkinson Lighthouse was designated a National Historic Site in 1994 (www.wvhs.ca). As a member of the Fisheries and Oceans Committee, I take marine and ﬁshery issues seriously. I’ve looked at the lighthouse situation with Mayor Pam Goldsmith-Jones and others. The new legislative initiative by our Conservative government is intended to ensure that lighthouses of value to communities are provided

protection through processes to: a) designate a lighthouse as “heritage”, b) allow interested communities to take over the lighthouse, and c) require the federal government to bring the lighthouse to a reasonable heritage standard. For the first time, DFO is required to announce explicitly when a lighthouse will no longer be maintained. The safety of maritime vessels will be continued to be guaranteed by aids to navigation, maintained by the Canadian Coast Guard. While I am confident the parties will find a positive solution, the situation is complicated in a few cases by various competing claims to land and access. John Westn, MP West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country

Dear Editor: Recently, I rushed my wife to Lions Gate Hospital’s Emergency Department — the ﬁrst time I have used the new facilities. I was there for six hours and observed that the total efﬁciency of the area was superb. The staff was friendly and very helpful. I was meet at the door by what appeared to be a concierge, who explained all the procedures and events to happen. We were sent down to have a CT scan, and the staff there were extremely experienced and friendly. The doctor who looked after us was knowledgeable and very helpful. While in Emergency, I witnessed the paramedics many times bringing in patients, and was so impressed by there attitude, cleanliness and just general appearance. The whole event made me observe, and realize, that we who live on the North Shore should be very proud of all that we have at hand at Lions Gate Hospital. Peter Black West Vancouver

Blind to a national vision plan

“If everyone over age sixty scheduled an annual eye exam, we would have the best chance of protecting the sight and independence of people at risk for glaucoma. That is especially true of the narrow-angle type.” Dr. Fred Mikelberg, head of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of British Columbia.

IN hindsight, had I pressed him to go beyond the human cost, Dr. Fred Mikelberg might also have emphasized that, when it comes to vision loss, an ounce of prevention stands to save millions of taxpayer dollars. As but one example: Glaucoma is second only to cataracts as a leading cause of blindness around the world. Figures published by the Canadian Ophthalmological Society (COS) estimate that glaucoma affects one in 100, or about 360,000 Canadians. Public health sources in the United Sates and Great Britain quote a similar experience, and because many who have the condition go undiagnosed until eyesight has become seriously impaired, there is an urgent need for more education and prevention programs to be targeted toward a rapidly

Just Asking

Elizabeth James aging population. Narrow-angle glaucoma (NAG) is one of several types of the condition that occur when the ﬂuid drainage network of the eye becomes blocked, causing an increase in intraocular pressure. Although NAG accounts for only 10 per cent of total glaucoma cases, those who have the condition are at higher risk for sudden vision loss. This is because the angle of the eye may close without warning, and within hours the resulting pressure-related changes can cause irreversible damage to the optic nerve. Discovery that I was at risk came out of the blue. I had made the trip to an optometrist for a routine eye exam, a test I expected to be just the latest in a lifetime of wearing glasses to correct for farsightedness. Not once, in all those years, had the risk of NAG ever been mentioned. Ophthalmologists and

for anything. It lasted only seconds in each eye and I didn’t feel a thing — it took longer to do the paperwork. Eight years on, as is usually the case, the angle shows no sign of closing. The outcome might have been a lot different, however, had I continued to avoid the 30-minute “bother” of a regular eye examination. The Medical Services Plan of British Columbia covers the cost of medicallyindicated diagnostic eye examinations, especially for patients in the at-risk categories. Although the plan does not cover routine vision tests for those aged 19-64, extended health plans usually offer a wider range of vision care beneﬁts. Helpful information on glaucoma and other eye conditions and treatments can be found on the COS website at www.opto.ca where there are also links to various provincial organizations. Surveys have shown that, for most people, fear of blindness comes close to the fear of cancer and heart disease. So if our goal is to maintain maximum independence and quality of life well into old-age, the best way to avoid the consequences of undiagnosed narrow-angle glaucoma — and of many other eye and medical conditions

optometrists conduct extensive examinations that go well beyond the simple vision test. Their state of the art equipment also allows them to diagnose problems like cataracts, macular degeneration or, as in my case, the various types of glaucoma. Additionally, the eye often serves as a mirror to the soul of many other ailments. One simple, inexpensive examination can give advance warning about the presence of diabetes, as well as cardiovascular and other medical conditions. In any event, four years after my previous vision test, and with no symptoms worse than a difﬁculty with reading small print, I was surprised — and fortunate — to be referred to Dr. Mikelberg, a glaucoma specialist at the Willow Eye Centre in Vancouver. Unless someone is unlucky enough to have an acute attack, treatment for NAG is aimed at prevention, and almost always given to both eyes. Simply put, treatment involves using a laser instrument to create a tiny hole at the edge, or periphery, of the iris. This allows ﬂuid to drain away from behind the iris, thus preventing a dangerous increase in pressure. Although it sounds unpleasant, it was the fastest treatment I’ve had

The suspects entered the cold beer and wine store attached to Taylor’s Crossing restaurant on Marine Drive at about 4:30 p.m., according to investigators. One of them allegedly produced a knife and demanded that the clerk hand over the contents of the till. The employee, who was alone at the time, obeyed, giving the men an undisclosed amount of cash. The suspects then reportedly ﬂed. The victim was left shaken but uninjured, said police. North Vancouver RCMP arrived on scene a short time later, bringing in a dog team to search

the area, but they were unable to track the men down. “The investigation is ongoing,” said Cpl. Peter Devries, a spokesman for the detachment. “We have some evidence in terms of the description that we’re following up on.” Investigators have security footage from the store, but have chosen not to release it out of fear it will compromise the investigation, he said. The men were reportedly spotted on the premises about an hour before the incident. One of the suspects is a Caucasian man in his late 40s, ﬁve feet seven inches tall with tanned skin and salt and pepper hair. The other is described as an aboriginal man, ﬁve feet six inches tall in his early 40s. The men were last seen running south on Mackay Road.

And the best way for the federal government to reduce the billions in burgeoning costs of vision loss, is to ﬁnally implement the national vision plan which, in 2003, it promised the World Health Organization would be in place by 2005. A ground-breaking 2008 report, jointly commissioned by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) and COS, proves the point (www.cnib.ca/en/research/

It states in part that, “The real ﬁnancial cost of vision loss in Canada is estimated to be $15.8 billion . . . $19,370 for every Canadian with vision loss in 2007.” Further breakdown shows direct healthrelated costs accounted for $8.6 billion and indirect costs were $7.2 billion.

HELPFUL HINTS AND REMINDERS ABOUT THE CITY’S PARKS & OPEN SPACES

At the end of the soccer season the City’s grass playfields undergo an intensive maintenance program. The fields are aerated, topdressed, seeded and require frequent mowing, fertilization and watering to get them in top shape. Although most of the City’s watering takes place at night, newly reseeded playing fields require water during the day as well. Staying off the grass while it is re-establishing during the summer helps the City provide better fields that benefit all players during the upcoming season. Please note, the following grass playfields will be closed until September: - Boulevard Field - Loutet 1, 2, and 3 Fields - Norsemen Field Kinsmen Field will remain open all summer, and Sutherland and Confederation Artificial Turf Fields are open for soccer year round.

Judge tosses drugs and weapon charges

Handgun and coke found but rights disregarded Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A B.C. Supreme Court justice has tossed out drug and weapons charges against a North Vancouver man, saying police violated his rights to obtain the evidence against him.

Madam Justice Catherine Bruce ruled an illegal handgun and an ounce of cocaine found in Kenneth Gaba’s apartment could not be admitted as evidence in his trial because North Vancouver RCMP violated his rights both before and after searching his home. “Along the spectrum of seriousness, I ﬁnd the conduct of the police in this case was very serious . . I ﬁnd that their conduct bordered on recklessness or willful blindness in regard to Mr. Gaba’s charter rights,” wrote the judge.

Gaba, 36, was charged with possession of an illegal handgun and possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking after police searched his apartment in North Vancouver under a search warrant on July 7, 2007. He had first come to police attention after his exgirlfriend complained that he was constantly trying to contact her through friends and family, including her mother. After a police officer told her a peace bond would not be granted unless violence was involved, the woman said Gaba had assaulted her in the past, kept a handgun in his apartment and sold drugs at a local club. The police officer later spoke with Gaba, who told her he had e-mailed the ex-girlfriend’s mother, had dropped off her dry cleaning to a friend and passed on a message from the woman’s doctor. He said he only wanted the woman to pay back money that she owed him, adding she

was a drug addict who was seeing a psychiatrist. On July 7, 2007, several ofﬁcers showed up at Gaba’s apartment with a search warrant to look for a handgun and ammunition.Priortoconducting the search, one of the ofﬁcers told him, “We can make this very easy or very hard.” Gaba then told the police there was a handgun in the kitchen drawer and drugs in the cupboard. Gaba’s defence lawyer Brian Coleman argued in court that both the evidence found in the search and statements Gaba made to police should be tossed out because police had violated his client’s rights and had not conducted a proper investigation

or presented an accurate view of the facts in the request to obtain the search warrant. The judge agreed with that, noting the investigating officer had largely taken the ex-girlfriend’s word and hadn’t sought or received any corroboration about Gaba’s allegedly threatening behaviour. She added the police officer also had not read any of the emails Gaba had supposedly sent his ex-girlfriend and did not mention that the woman didn’t have a computer. The police officer also failed to mention the woman was an alcoholic and a drug addict and that the last time she had seen a gun in the apartment was likely more

NV man gets 9 months for ‘day of atonement’ Jane Seyd

jseyd@nsnews.com

A North Vancouver man who attacked his former roommate with a pool cue has been sent to jail for nine months after pleading guilty to several charges in B.C. Supreme Court including robbery, assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm.

Shawn Shields, 44, was handed the sentence by Justice Miriam Maisonville June 14. The charges stem from a violent episode on Dec. 23, 2007, when Shields showed up at his former home on Dovercourt Road and attacked his former roommate, James Hickey, with a pool cue, striking him about 20 times before demanding money from him. Later the same day, he came back to the house and assaulted Kevin Deveau, an acquaintance

who used to work with Shields. Testifying in court, Deveau said he spoke to Shields on the phone earlier in the day. “He said, ‘Today is the day of atonement. I’m coming for you next,’” Deveau said. A group of friends was watching the hockey game at Hickey’s home that evening when Shields appeared and slid open the patio door, brandishing a piece of construction lumber. Deveau said before anything could happen, “I launched out of my seat and body-checked him back through the door.” Shields pleaded guilty partway through his trial in B.C. Supreme Court in which in represented himself. He changed his pleas following a bizarre exchange in the courtroom in which he accused Deveau during cross-examination of “drugging and raping” him. Deveau told Shields he didn’t know what he was talking about. In addition to the jail term, Shields was put on probation for three years.

further $11.7 billion in 2007.” Hard to believe, also, is the fact that direct health-care costs associated with vision loss are in first place when compared to those for “any disease category in Canada . . . much more than for diabetes, all cancers or cardiovascular disease.” And when the more difficult to assess “burden of disease” component is excluded, British Columbia sits in third place when compared to the total financial cost-experience in other provinces.

At $2.1 billion, B.C. is behind the staggering $7 billion for Ontario — the province called home by 44.5 per cent of Canadians with vision loss — and nudges the $2.7 billion reported for Quebec. This startling information begs the question: In tough economic times, with every health-care dollar stretched to breaking point, why would our governments not have made prevention of vision loss its goal in order to drastically reduce the ﬁnancial burden of after-the-fact acute and ongoing care? rimco@shaw.ca

Home Ideas

Barb Lunter THERE comes a time when your little girl is no longer little and would like to surround herself with everything that is “cool” and “hip” in the teenage world.

Gone are the teddy bears, yellow paint and cartoon characters only to be replaced with posters of Justin Beiber and Robert Pattison. If this sounds familiar to you then you may be ready for some ideas on how to transform your “tween” or teen’s room into a space where she would be happy to entertain her friends. The most important thing here is to let HER choose the paint colour…. within reason of course. Depending on your tolerance level there are some colours (like black) that may never see the inside of your home. By allowing her to choose the paint colour this allows the both of you to work together on all the other

elements like bedding, pillows and lighting. There should always be compromise. This teenage room was all about the blues. Not the music kind but all the wonderful shades of blue that can work so beautifully together if a plan is in place. Blue doesn’t have to be a cold and sterile colour for a bedroom. It can transform itself into a calm and serene environment with a lot of “cool” factor. For this room the yellow walls were replaced with a very soft blue pastel shade that was mixed using Benjamin Moore’s pastel base paint. Your local paint store is able to match any paint colour you wish. Just

ask them ahead of time and be sure to let them know what ﬁnish you would prefer. For bedrooms it is often recommended to use a washable, eggshell paint. Rather than painting all four walls in the room it’s nice to add some drama by wallpapering one or two instead. Behind the bed is always a popular area, as it tends to provide a nice backdrop for the headboard and side tables. Wallpaper by Design By Colour in blue adds a bit of fun and modernism to the room. Top it off with two Ikea “Fillsta” table lamps and a matching “Fillsta” ceiling light and you have yourself a contemporary and funky

space. A simple washable ivory duvet cover can be jazzed up with colourful and bold pillows. Joanne Fabric’s “Nassau, Osprey” is a great example of a vibrant patterned fabric that adds a bold statement to this bed. A white, feathery pillow ﬁnishes the look. For the window, the same Joanne fabric was used for the bench cushion and roman blind. Complemented with an ivory shag rug the room is complete. The last task is to convince your teen to keep the room clean and continue the “minimal” look. Good luck with this one. lunter@shaw.ca

Portable trumps powerful in Web 2.0 future

Steve Dotto

Contributing Writer Many, many years ago, the 21st employee of Sun

Microsytems, a fellow named John Gage is credited with coining the phrase “the network is the computer.” For years that particular

sentiment appeared to many to be a rather out-of-focus vision. With the advent of Web 2.0, however, it would appear

as though Gage was bang on the mark. The day of the powerful personal computer is drawing to a close. More agile and

robust tools are ﬁnding their place and we are increasingly less concerned with how powerful, how large, how fast our computing devices are. TELUS AUTHORIZED DEALERS Vancouver

Instead, we are focusing on their portability, battery life, flexibility and, above all, their connectivity. Most of what we want to do now when using computers is centred on the Internet, and the computer is merely a window into it. Increasingly, we are moving to more mobile devices to live in the online world. Desktop computers gave way to notebooks, notebook popularity is being erroded by netbooks, which are yielding to smartphones and tablets. While Sun Microsystems may have been the first company to recognize that the network is the key, it is Google that has turned it into a reality. The move to cloud computing is in full swing. If I consider my life, I believe I am a citizen of Web 2.0. I am writing this column in Google Docs, I will submit it via webmail. I now use Google for my personal and web-based calendar, and much of my social life is enabled through Facebook. To maintain a business profile I use LinkedIn, and I tweet to share my opinion, and thus assure my relevance. In short, most of my work and a large part of my social life is tied to Web 2.0. Please note that I don’t need a computer to keep on living this lifestyle, other than actual writing work. I probably don’t need a computer at all. I can access and communicate very nicely with an iPad, or even a good smartphone. Following on the path to Web 2.0 ubiquity, rumours have begun to swirl of a new desktop OS coming out from Apple, dubbed iOS. It is said to be smaller, lighter and all about connectivity. Think iPhone or iPad for a desktop or notebook computer. Now that it is being talked about it seems to be a logical option. Apple is making a ton of money in the App Store for the iPhone and iPod, but they make very little of application sales for their computers. iOS would change all that. But even more importantly, it continues the concept that the most important part of what we do in our digital life happens on the Net and not on a hard drive. I am determined to try and survive in an upcoming business trip sans notebook, taking only an iPad as my companion. I can assure you I will be a bit nervous heading out, but we will see how I feel coming home, it will be the acid test for me to see if the network truly has become the computer.

Ease arthritis pain with gardening

ONE of the great beneﬁts of working in the garden, besides creating beauty or growing food to eat, is the exercise you get, which helps maintain muscle strength, physical mobility and mental ﬁtness.

I have no doubt that working in my garden keeps me healthy, young and invigorates my mental creativity. Doctors have historically recommended that patients, who live with the daily pain of chronic arthritis, restrict their physical activities to prevent furtherirritationoraggravation of joints affected by arthritis. Today, however, more doctors and physiotherapists are recommending low to moderate physical activity and exercise as a prescription to better health. Now I don’t know about you, but I prefer to workout in my garden instead of going to a gym with everyone else. Gardening uses all of my muscles while working my heart and lungs and challenging my mind. Even simple gardening activities can help to strengthen the muscles around damaged joints thereby keeping the joints more mobile and ﬂexible,

Dig Deep

Todd Major without putting additional stress on the joints. There is something very spiritual and invigorating about working in the garden, in tune with plants and the earth, touching and smelling all the living things in my garden while creating beauty. For people who have arthritis, there are several ways to stay active and healthy by using the garden as your exercise room. Here are some tips from the Arthritis Society for smart and safe gardening with arthritis. Always be sure to stretch and warm up before working in the garden, this will help reduce stiffness and decrease your risk of injury. Look for garden products that have been designed to be used by people with arthritis. Tools bearing an “arthritis friendly” logo have received a passing

grade by an independent thirdparty research organization. Buy ergonomically designed gardening tools that have long handles or oversized handles that make gripping them easier. You can also thicken tool handles by adding foam onto the handle, which will make them easier to hold and prevent jarring impacts. The secret to exercising arthritic joints gently without subjecting them to too much stress is to go slow, do what feels comfortable and to listen to your body. Avoid doing the same type of repetitive task for more than 30 minutes to prevent joint irritation and strain injury. Try changing tasks regularly to allow your body to use a variety of muscles and joints to help spread out the workout. Take regular breaks to allow your body and joints to recharge and rest. But don’t rest in the house; instead, try resting by sitting in the garden to enjoy the fresh air and beauty you have created. When moving things around, use the palms of your hand instead of your ﬁngers to push, pull or lift items, this technique reduces strain and fatigue on ﬁnger joints. When lifting items, use the larger and stronger joints and muscles of See Hanging page 17

Hanging baskets and raised beds help avoid aggravating back pain From page 15

NEWS photo Mike Wakeﬁeld

SOME gentle yard work with the proper tools can be helpful for people living with arthritis pain. Raised beds and hanging baskets are useful to avoid bending.

your arms and shoulders to carry things instead of using your hands. Further reduce stress and muscle fatigue by carring items on your forearms instead of using your hands. Always hold items close to your body to help spread out the weight over all of the muscle and joints of your body. If you have trouble bending, try gardening from a chair or stool, which prevents back strain and muscle fatigue. Gardening while sitting down is not as tiring as standing, as it allows the weight on loadbearing joints to be reduced, enabling you to work longer without discomfort. Bending can also be avoided by installing raised ﬂower beds that allow you to stand or sit comfortably while you work. You can also use plant containers on wheels, window boxes, hanging baskets or trellises to bring the garden up to you, instead of you bending

down to garden. Another great advantage of gardening for health is mental rejuvenation and stress reduction. I mean how mad can you get at that happy little petunia face staring back up at you. And I have yet to ﬁnd a tree that talks back to me, well not totally true, the trees do talk to me... Anyway, the fresh air, the oxygenation of your blood gained from the physical activity of gardening and the mental stimulation required to carry out a variety of gardening

tasks can improve your mental ﬁtness, reduce your blood pressure and keep you healthy.

PARENTING

Brains don’t take vacations ACCORDING to Sylvan Learning centres, parents should be ensuring that their kids’ brains are not on hiatus in the summer. Parents can play a key role in reinforcing learning during the summer months. In a news release Sylvan suggests that summer time should be a good balance of free discovery, play, leisure and learning for our kids. They have some good ideas for ways to help our kids stay alert to math, reading and writing skills, and we will get to those in a minute. But ﬁrst, I believe it’s important to remember that free discovery and play are integral to child learning and development. Babies and toddlers are constantly learning about the world around them through play. Stacking blocks, for example, can teach math skills, physics or architecture. Our job is to see the opportunities to help our kids enhance the learning that can naturally and easily take place on a daily basis. Math When we are grocery shopping, instead of trying to keep the kids quiet and remind them that, “no, we aren’t buying sugar-coated cereals,” we can involve them in the process. Have them check prices and determine

Parenting Today Kathy Lynn

the best buy. Is the giant economy size always a good choice? For younger children, have them keep track of how many items you have purchased. Have her tell you when there are ﬁfteen things in the cart. Once you reach the checkout counter have the kids pay attention to the prices as they are punched into the cash register. If you are paying with cash, can they ﬁgure out the change? Cooking is a great way to learn about measurements and fractions by using recipes or reading cookbooks. And, of course, cooking and grocery shopping are exercises in good nutrition and eating balanced healthy meals. Playing cards or dominos can be fun and reinforce counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication,

or division skills. Play Snakes and Ladders, Monopoly, and other games that encourage counting. Reading We all know that reading to kids on a daily basis is a good idea. Summer is a great time to really encourage reading. On those lazy hot days, have the kids curl up in the shade under a tree and read a book. Check out your local library as many of them have fun summer activities for kids. This is a good time to introduce kids to new kinds of books. Talk to the children’s librarian, she is an invaluable source of help and information. Let your kids talk to her and she will lead them to all sorts of new wonderful books. She will ﬁnd out their interests and be able to direct them to a lot of reading materials. Getting teens interested in reading can sometimes be a challenge. But don’t despair; remember the Harry Potter phenomenon. If you have teens who are interested in fantasy, I recommend the books by Peterborough, Ontario author Holly Bennett. There is the Bonemender trilogy, The Warrior’s Daughter and Shapeshifter. And, as a bonus, she is a

Canadian author. Writing Writing is the one thing that is hardest to keep up in the summer. But encourage the kids to develop a blog and have them let all their relatives know. Now, their grandparents can log on and get regular updates of the kid’s activities. If they want to add graphics and photos, go for it. While all these ideas are presented as a way to help kids keep their brains alive and ticking through the summer, they really can be year-round activities. None of these are unusual or rare; it’s just how we position them that makes them work. Kathy Lynn, is a professional speaker, broadcaster, columnist and author of Who’s In Charge Anyway?

Making art diverse Presentation House Gallery will launch its fall season on September 11 with an exhibition by the notorious Vancouver artist, Glenn Lewis aka Flakey Rosehips. Initially a ceramicist, Lewis developed a remarkable and expansive approach to artmaking that included sculpture, performance art, mail art, environments, writing, film, photography and dinner parties. A co-founder of Vancouver’s legendary Western Front, he was part of a group of international artists and performers who, often in the guise of personas, experimented with new ways to bring art and life together. Projects included building geodesic domes on the Dollarton mudflats and choreographing synchronized swimming events. The exhibition showcases Forest Industry, a famous 16 mm film in real time, as well as a selection of performance works remounted especially for this occasion. This exhibition celebrates Lewis’s remarkable vision, sense of play and inventiveness. Presentation House Gallery 333 Chesterfield Avenue North Vancouver, BC www.presentationhousegall.com

1964 was a hot year of debates about a new Canadian flag, whether one was needed and what its design should be. To enter a float in North Vancouver’s Dominion Day parade required a proper organization, so proponents of a new flag (shown above) formed the Council Towards Canadianism, with the apt acronym C. To. C. This Canada Day, at 3 p.m., drop by the PGE Railway Station at the foot of Lonsdale for a 45-minute waterfront tour by costumed shipyard workers.

Your New Business begins in the News Moja Coffee was founded on the North Shore 6 years ago. When we started our business, we focused on supplying coffee shops and select restaurants from the North Shore to Whistler, with fresh roasted beans. In our early days we were roasting only in a small warehouse located near the Capilano Mall. Thanks to strong growth Moja moved it’s operation, combining our roasting operation and an authentic Milan Italy inspired cafe. Complete with a circa 1940’s replica La Victoria Arduino espresso machine, our destination cafe has allowed us to showcase coffee in a very traditional fashion. While many say word of mouth advertising is best (and we believe strongly in that), the most significant growth for our cafe happened following our first ever advertising campaign with the North Shore News. In April of 2009, we held our first open house event, and promoted the sale in 3 editions of the North Shore News. The result...lineups out our door to the street before the doors opened at 9am on Saturday morning! We were overwhelmed with people, and were extremely happy with the result of the advertising campaign. From the first contact with Amanda Rawlings in sales, to dealing with the photography staff and design department, our attempt to attract new business was as easy as could be. At Moja, we have two sales per year only, and we need to get maximum exposure to ensure the success of those days. Our second sale in December of 2009 echoed our earlier experience as once again the day ended up a huge success. To put our advertising success with North Shore News into perspective: our sales were up 500% over our normal cafe business. Those numbers are huge and now factor in to our monthly budgets as we move forward. Having been a long time reader of the paper, and now an advertiser, I can honestly say that the North Shore News continues to be my first choice for connecting to the local community. Best regards, Doug Finley, President, Moja Coffee Corp

A CHEF IN YOUR KITCHEN cooks with canola oil, a true Canadian success story

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to EXCEPTIONAL CUISINE

Modern meat in Whistler

Canadian cooking oil with a history

Deana Lancaster dlancaster@nsnews.com

CHEF de cuisine Edison Mays is not working the evening we dine at Sidecut at Four Seasons Resort Whistler. It’s a shame, because from the ﬁrst word of the resort team’s plans to rework the restaurant concept, Mays’ name seemed to be vitally linked to it. Mays arrived in Whistler just over a year ago from the Four Seasons Resort Nevis. According to reports he was only planning to stay for a short time, working under his former chef Scott Thomas Dolbee, while the Caribbean resort underwent repairs needed after a run-in with Hurricane Omar in 2008. But the well-travelled cook’s big approach to ﬂavour stood out on the West Coast; he was soon drawing a crowd to the weekly backyard barbecue he initiated on the grounds of the Four Seasons. Soon, Whistler locals outnumbered hotel guests lining up for all-you-can-eat beef, ribs and chicken. Now Mays has undertaken a new project along with Dolbee: Sidecut, the resort’s “modern steak” concept that replaces Fifty Two 80 Bistro. Named for the distinctive curved shape of skis as well as

ON the menu at the new Sidecut Modern Steak restaurant at Four Seasons Resort Whistler: Qualicum scallops with aged black garlic and Tiroler bacon, above; and a stack of “Double D” onion rings, at right. the location of a cut of beef, the restaurant promises diners “steak with an edge.” And we’re here to try as much of the menu as we can, Mays or no Mays. The restaurant itself hasn’t changed much, says Elena Beveridge, public relations manager at the resort. “We pulled the tablecloths off and relaxed things a bit. It’s amazing the difference it’s made.” And with steak as the primary focus, it was imporant to both Dolbee and Mays to start with the best.

For one thing, our country discovered the pressed rapeseed and its derivative, the light and relatively healthful oil. The story of canola oil is a typical Canadian tale. Originally called rapeseed, it was introduced to the Great White North by a Polish immigrant in the late 1930s. Initially, and especially during the war years, the oil was destined as a machine lubricant. Today canola oil is the most frequently used oil in cooking and in baking. It is equally accepted in home kitchens and in commercial facilities. There are good reasons for this. Modern canola oil is transfat free. It also has a respectable heat tolerance, which is very important in deep-fat frying. Professional cooks will tell you that it has a relatively low level of ﬂavour transfer, one more reason we consider this oil an efﬁcient deep frying agent. Canola oil is lower in saturated fat (about six per cent) than any other oil. This compares to the saturated fat content of peanut oil (about 18 per cent) and palm oil (an incredibly high 79 per cent). Another canola oil selling point is that it contains more cholesterol-balancing monounsaturated fat than any other, except olive oil. There are many uses in the kitchen for this vegetable oil. Because of its bland taste it is used in baking, sautéing and in stir-frying. There will be no shortage of canola oil this or any other year. Statistics Canada reports that farmers may plant a record area of 16.8 million acres (or 6.84 million hectares) of canola. See One page 30

One type of oil not likely to suffer a shortfall: canola From page 29

This will make it the fourth consecutive annual increase in acreage on the Prairies. Most of the increase is expected in Saskatchewan where farmers reported a new high of 8.6 million acres or up 700,000 acres over the 2,000 seeded area. This week we have three recipes for your ﬁles. They require canola oil for the frying and baking. The oil

is only a relatively small component of most recipes but it is a very important ingredient.

TASTE

It’s the rubs, sauces that make the steak From page 29

Prime beef, aged 40 days and grilled at a super hot 1,800 degrees on an infrared grill. We decide to start by sampling other sections of the menu ﬁrst. Three Qualicum scallops arrive seared and nestled into a pretty swipe of celeriac purée, topped by crispy Tiroler bacon and microgreens, and accompanied by fermented black garlic. Maple bourbon cured foie gras is decadent and artfully arranged on a plate with soft, grilled pork belly. We’re on to the mains. There is local seafood: Lois Lake steelhead, salmon from Frederick Island, black cod, Howe Sound spot prawns, halibut and more, but we’re here for the meat. Regional meat specialties include double-cut Sterling pork chops, and B.C. fallow venison loin, but we want to try the steak. Diners choose their cut: rib eye, tenderloin, New York striploin, porterhouse, braised Angus short ribs, and then decide whether to accept the chef’s recommended rub, or pick their own from a selection of six. My rib eye works best with Edison’s Medicine, says our server; it’s the signature rub, a blend of sweet paprika, garlic, onion, cayenne, oregano, thyme, chili, mustard, cumin and fennel. Whew! It’s aromatic, with just a touch of heat. With each juicy slice I sample a different sauce: house steak sauce, a wasabi mustard sauce, mushroom bordelaise, Argentinian chimichurri, yuzu butter and a crème fraiche bearnaise. Sides include “double D” onion rings that are crunchy perfection, rich aged cheddar and potato gratin, caramelized black salsify, and roasted baby beets. Meals can be accompanied by a bottle of wine from the restaurant’s list, or by one of 100 wines available by the glass. I opt for the latter, and sample a glass of Terrazas de Los Andes Malbec, which stands up nicely to the steak. Incredibly, we manage to round out the meal with a 14layer Black Forest chocolate cake and pineapple upised down cake. A sweet ﬁnish for a delicious meal.

Your BC Lions — In Their Own Words I grew up in North Vancouver and have been playing football since my early teens. My size kind of dictated what position I play (offensive line) but I’ve learned to really love my role on the club and on the offence. As the centre I do get to touch the ball on every play, so it all starts with me. Growing up, I was very close to my father and he was a big influence on me during times I needed him most. Picking my college, dealing with adversity, being the best person and player I can be were a product of his guidance and it’s one of the reasons I love taking part in our club’s community programs. Among the programs I take part in, I would say Read, Write and Roar is among my favourites because I’ve seen firsthand what happens to a young person’s life when they grasp the ability to read. The benefits of literacy last a lifetime and I take pride in knowing that I might be planting the seed for a future reader. Dean Valli in action on the field. Photo courtesy BC Lions.

This year the North Shore News polled all of the North Vancouver and West Vancouver high schools to find out how many of their athletes are going on to play and study at colleges and universities starting in the fall. The information that we got back (see article at right) painted an interesting picture of the local sports scene. According to the lists supplied by the athletic departments at each school, 84 athletes in 14 different sports are already signed up and ready for action with a post-secondary team starting this fall while many more will be attending tryouts hoping to earn a roster spot at the next level.

BINGHAM - Jean Ernestine Born in London England December 16, 1927, and passed away at Lions Gate Hospital – Evergreen Lodge, North Vancouver, June 4, 2010. At the outbreak of WWII Jean was one of thousands of children separated from family and evacuated to rural England. After returning to London she was active in supporting the War movement. In April 1946 as a young war bride she arrived in Canada aboard the MV Aquitania and after landing in Halifax, travelled by train to begin her new life in Vancouver, eventually settling with her family in West Vancouver. She would spend her remaining years working and living on the North Shore. Later she worked in care homes and was proud to have greeted the first patient into Evergreen Lodge when it opened in 1971. Then, after taking more training, she transferred to the Ward Clerk position in the Cardiac Unit at Lions Gate Hospital where she worked until retirement in 1992. In retirement Jean lived quietly enjoying genealogy, music, photography, her small deck garden and many visits to the Maplewood Flats Bird Sanctuary. Four years ago she moved to Kiwanis, Lynn Manor where she easily made many new friends and quickly became active in a variety of social activities. She is lovingly remembered by her sister Kay (Brian) in England, cousin Alan (Mary) in New Zealand, sister in law Justine Armstrong, children, Cheri (Bryan) Bob (Melba) Bruce and Dave (Peg), grandsons, Geoffrey (Brittany), Charlie (Kate), Mark (Brittany) and great granddaughter Natalie. Mum climbed some very steep hills during her life, often alone, and we are so proud of all that she was and all that she accomplished. Donations in her memory may be made to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation. The family would like to thank Dr Peter Hayton and the hospital staff for their kind care.

He was a life-long learner, having a curious and questioning, versatile mind, retraining as new job opportunities arose, with the ability to design, innovate and build or fix any and everything and his house, boats.... He had an irreverent, quirky sense of humour and quick wit and was very outspoken and blunt, but he had a generous and giving spirit and was very modest about his own accomplishments and abilities. What gave him the most joy was having been half of a loving couple for 46 years. He was unquenchably optimistic and brave - I have been such a lucky man - I’ve had such a good life. Much gratitude also to Dr. Hay and Dr. Finley of the cancer clinic and VGH, and to Dr. Hahn, to Lions Gate Palliative Care and Dr. Walton. Memorial service at Boal Chapel 1505 Lillooet Road at 11 am July 5th. Interment at Capilano View Cemetery, 3rd Street West Vancouver at 12:30. LUCAS, Laura Smith (nee Stone). With much sadness, we announce the passing of our dear mother, Laura on June 25, 2010. Laura is once again with George, her husband of 65 years who passed away last July. Laura is survived by son Paul (Tina), daughters Gillian (Doug Irwin) and Joy (John Russell), grandchildren Lyndsay (Nicole Cherry), Stephen, and Chelsea (Sam Brown); Kalen; Dacey; Nicholas and Keith. Laura was born in South Shields, County Durham, England in 1918. She married George in 1944 and emigrated to Canada and North Vancouver with three young children on May 1, 1957. Laura’s first love was home and family and she celebrated the time she had children at home. She also shared her gift of theatre and music by performing in musical theatre and concert groups in hospitals and for shut-ins. However, most of all, Laura was known and loved for her kindness to all and her willingness to listen. Laura was very close to her church family at St. Andrew’s United Church and was grateful for their love and support particularly over the last few years. Thanks to Dr. Joanne Trebell, the palliative staff at Lions Gate Hospital, and the care givers provided by Bayshore Home Care, particularly Ruby, Jossie and Emma. A celebration of Laura’s life will be held Saturday, July 3 at 3:00 at St. Andrew’s United Church, 1044 St. Georges Ave, North Vancouver. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to either Lions Gate or St. Paul’s Hospitals.

Severe Storm Safety Although thunder is thought of as safe, lightning is very dangerous and the two always come together. • Go inside at the first hint of a storm and close all windows and doors. Stay toward the centre of the building, away from windows. Remain inside for half an hour after the storm. • If you cannot find shelter, don’t be the tallest object - assume a crouched position, feet together and head tucked downwards. Don’t lie flat as it creates more surface area for lightning to hit. Groups of people should spread out. • Never seek shelter under a tree or pole. • Stay away from water – the beach, a pool, the bath tub, shower or sinks. • Don’t use the phone or electrical appliances. • If in a car, pull over, close windows, and don’t touch metal items. • In an open boat stay low so that you don’t form a human lightning rod. • Never touch downed power lines.

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
