Art in CapU censorship saga returned Artist agrees not to display protest effigy on campus BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

An effigy targeting Capilano University’s president that touched off a controversy about censorship and academic freedom has been returned to the artist who created it — albeit cut into pieces.

Studio Arts instructor George Rammell, who sculpted Blathering on in Krisendom to protest the way programs at the university were cut in a budget shortfall, won the statue back following a union grievance that concluded this week.

University board chairwoman Jane Shackell ordered the sculpture, depicting Capilano president Kris Bulcroft and her French poodle Margaux, removed from campus in May on the grounds that it constituted harassment and bullying of Bulcroft.

Rammell was less than pleased about the condition of the sculpture when it was returned.

“I was quite shocked.

I could see they used an electric grinder to cut the metal frame to remove the dog and head,” Rammell said. “The idea that the head of the board would be judge, jury and executioner of a censorship project — it’s just not their role,” he said.

Even though Rammell

Programs run at church in limbo JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

The demise of a centuryold North Vancouver church has left several community programs praying for promised land.

Capilano United Church silenced its services in June — just two months after celebrating the house of

worship’s 100th anniversary.

“The congregation is getting quite old, there’s no children’s program here . . . there’s no younger families coming in,” said church administrator Kim Dolmage.

Until June 2015, the Capilano United Church building is under the care of the B.C. Conference, the provincial arm of the

United Church of Canada.

But after that, many of the programs run out of the church are either facing cancellation or are in jeopardy — including scouts, cubs, daycare, dancing and cooking programs, and Sunflower Preschool.

“The school and the environment is very dear to us,” said Sunflower

The school — which has an annual enrolment of 50 students — will have to close next June unless alternate arrangements can be made.

NV ‘cat’ burglar arrested

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

After a spike in thefts of vehicles’ catalytic converters, North Vancouver RCMP have arrested a man they allege was caught in the act.

Officers saw the suspect crawl under an SUV on Purcell Way near Capilano University around 3 a.m.

Thursday and emerge a few moments later with a saw and catalytic converter.

After a brief chase and scuffle, officers arrested a 36-year-old Surrey man.

He now faces charges of theft, mischief, possession of break-and-enter tools, possession of a concealed weapon and assaulting an officer.

At least 36 North

but we’ll see. I haven’t made up my mind yet,” he said.

While the saga has been regrettable, Rammell said the effigy did accomplish its aim.

“It really did bring a lot of attention to the issues at Cap. The work is simply a conduit to get people thinking and talking about the real problems at Cap,” he said.

Shackell acknowledged, meanwhile, that Rammell has a fundamental right to expression, and that university presidents are not above criticism. But Shackell said she stands by her decision.

“It was removed

because it was considered to be intimidating and humiliating to one of his colleagues. The university has a responsibility and, in fact, a legal obligation under the new WorkSafe legislation to prevent harassment and bullying in the workplace and that is what we did,” she said.

Shackell said the sculpture’s frame had to be dismantled in order to move the piece, though Rammell disputes that, saying he has moved it many times on his own.

The Canadian Association of University Teachers has started an investigation into whether seizing the effigy was a violation of Rammell’s academic freedom. The

A cutline included in a photo spread Soap Box Derby on June 22 incorrectly stated that the program Social Success by Soap Box Derby is run by North Vancouver Recreation.

In fact the program is funded by UnitedWay and facilitated by Parkgate Community Services Society’s staff and volunteers.

university has so far declined to participate, which Shackell said is not likely to change.

“I don’t think an appeal to academic freedom can be used to displace the university’s obligation to maintain a workplace free from harassment and bullying,” she said.

Shackell also questioned the integrity of the investigation, given comments already made by the association’s president to the North Shore News “which suggested that he’s already reached a conclusion about the subject of the investigation. I’m not sure how objective the investigation is going to be,” Shackell said.

Crying in our beer

W

e raised a glass last year when the province announced the liquor policy review.

For those of us who enjoy a tipple now and again, it was high time for some sober changes to our nonsensical, prohibition-era booze laws.

But, despite some intoxicating promises, the actual legislation we are getting feels more like a hangover.

Supposed “happy hour” rules came with a minimum price for a drink that is higher than what many pubs were already charging. This when we’ve already got the most expensive alcohol and highest cost of living in Canada.

Allowing alcohol sales in grocery stores also sounded promising. But without creating any new liquor licences, all it will do is send the market price of an existing licence into the stratosphere and exclude

all but the wealthiest grocery chains from buying one. That is, of course, if any supermarkets can navigate the remaining rat’s nest of rules. In the entire city of Vancouver, there is only one grocery store that meets the minimum distance from already existing licensed facilities that would allow it to have a “store within a store.” And they don’t want one.

Of course there are more important things the province could be doing. Our transportation and ferry systems are a mess. We’ve got possibly two major pipelines projects incoming with heaps of unanswered questions. But the liquor policy review was supposed to be one of those easy fixes — something everyone could get behind.

Please forgive us if we cry into a local craft beer as we think about what could have been.

Towers, oil and the next big thing

“Enjoy the story of your own life.”

– Thoreau Now that the Supreme Court of Canada has further clarified governmental obligations regarding aboriginal land title, administrative fart-catchers to federal ministers and oil industry CEOs alike will be advising their Gucci loafer bosses that it’s time to sit down and listen for a change to First Nations opponents of controversial energy projects.

With its profound decision in favour of the Tsilhqot’in people in B.C.’s north-central interior, the high court has given Prime Minister Harper his stiffest kick in the pants yet.

Ottawa’s bullying tactics on behalf of Oilberta and the two proposed pipeline

projects we’re tired of hearing about have been radically challenged.With our North Shore proximity to the oil storage tank farm along Burrard Inlet’s south shore near Second Narrows, the implications are obvious. From here on, the Tsleil Waututh and Squamish First Nations communities can expect a court-ordered respectful hearing regarding their

views of Kinder Morgan’s Transmountain expansion.

The Big Energy guys never quit though.

Could we stand another Enbridge-style tsunami of paid media hype telling us how great it all is? Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan doesn’t think so. Here’s a politician with hearing.

Meanwhile, at the local level the pipeline-battle’s equivalent in the district has been the orgy of approvals for mega-residential developments despite a wilting quality of life here from too many people and cars.With its latest blessings on Big Growth in Lower Capilano and Lynn Valley, let’s pray the damage is over for a while.This developercosy mayor and council have November’s upcoming election to think about, not to mention property taxes that are too high, and traffic in Seymour and parking in

Deep Cove that are causing nightmares.

In the city, it isn’t much better. The giant, viewblocking concrete tub approved as the new art gallery down at Lonsdale Quay shows that Coun.

Pam Bookham seems to be the only one with a sense of esthetics on that council.

Realtors say these are some of the reasons why a stream of long-established North Vancouver folks is leaving the area.When local governments fall for the line that you can build your way out of problems, it’s as daft as thinking that you can shop your way out of everything.

Real estate sell-outs and big oil are just blips on the radar, however.

The real story ahead in B.C. especially is water. Remember last year’s hullabaloo over multinational Nestle

helping itself to more than 265 million litres of fresh water from the Hope region watershed — a fortune in bottled water sales — without paying a cent for it? Next, public alarm grew over threats to groundwater from increased seismic fracking used to produce liquid natural gas for export. So much for our golden LNG future.

Premier Clark responded with a commitment to protect B.C.’s drinking water sources.The result has been the Water Sustainability Act. It quietly received royal assent on May 29 and is expected to come into force next spring. It promises better protection of water in land use decisions, and of our aquatic environments. A key element is new guidelines for “water pricing.”

Rising taxes wreck dream Dear Editor and Mayor Walton: Today I had to write a cheque for $7,044 for my 2014 property taxes which are a whopping $930 — or 15 per cent — more than last year.

Has my income increased by 15 per cent since last year? No, it has decreased by 100 per cent because I have retired and unlike government workers I do not have a pension subsidized by the Canadian taxpayers.

I have paid taxes in Canada since I started working at age 16. As a single parent I paid down a huge mortgage sacrificing family vacations, evenings out with friends and being able to give my son more.

Now that my mortgage is paid off am I financially secure?

No, because I must pay the government $587 every month for the privilege of living in my own home.

How long before monthly taxes are right up where my mortgage payment used to be? How can I possibly pay

these taxes now that I’m no longer working? I am going to be forced to sell my home on the North Shore where I have lived for more than 20 years.

On the eve of Canada Day I reflected on the Canadian dream to invest in your education, work hard, raise a family and own your own home.

But the government is robbing us of our dream by threatening our ability to hold onto our homes.

Residents of North Vancouver wake up!

The government that we elected is robbing us of the only secure investment that many of us will ever have.

Financing ever-increasing government spending on the backs of homeowners is unsustainable and must end.

Mayor Walton, cut government spending and get out of my wallet! Stop raising taxes! Reinstate my basic grant!

Sylvia Taylor North Vancouver

Wake up, the 1950s are over Dear Editor: This message is in response to Lorne E. Dennis’s letter Class Size Not a Concern in 1950s School Days.

Lorne — wake up. It’s not 1950 anymore! The classroom has changed dramatically in 60 years.

However, I hear they still use a hula hoop on occasion.

Fun fact: the BCTF was established in 1919 and it took until the 1950s for the elimination of gender salary discrimination.What a progressive era!

Educate yourself on

Teachers’ union not to blame for ‘political’ grilling of Thornthwaite Dear Editor: I want to correct some misstatements in the June 22 article Parents Grill MLA on Teachers’ Strike.

The article quotes Jane Thornthwaite as noting that “the parents, many of them teachers, showed up with Daniel Storms, the North Vancouver Teachers’ Association president.”

To be clear, parents all over North Vancouver are concerned about the needs of their children and this is why they attended the meeting.

Many parents are also teachers and given the current labour dispute, it is natural they would bring their concerns to their local MLA. I became aware that several teachers may be

attending Ms.Thornthwaite’s meeting shortly before the meeting, and I decided to attend the meeting and arrived after the event started.

Therefore, teachers did not show up with me as they were already there and the NVTA did not plan to make Jane Thornthwaite’s “Join Jane” meeting into a “political” meeting.

Her comments are ironic given how the B.C. Liberal government has politicized the current negotiations with regular comments from Education Minister Peter Fassbender and Premier Christy Clark.

It is also disappointing that Ms.Thornthwaite chose to characterize teachers’ attendance at the meeting as merely a political stunt rather

than their sincere attempt to communicate their thoughtful, reasonable, and heartfelt concerns regarding their students.

Had the reporter called me to ask for my views on Jane Thornthwaite’s comments, I would have been able to clarify why teachers were at the meeting and why I was there as well.

By not doing so, it created a misleading impression of why teachers were there which obscures the real issue: the lack of funding for schools and students by Ms.Thornthwaite and her B.C. Liberal government.

Shuttered church was big community hub

From page 1

$17,000 to reinvent the space in the church building.

The community donated the majority of that money, according to Sherwin.

A group of 45 volunteers, many of them church parishioners, gave up their summer to transform what was a compartmentalized classroom into an open, well-lit space.

“We can all sit together around one big table,” Sherwin said. “Our new classroom has become a model teaching environment.”

After 40 years of paying a “nominal fee” to use the church, Sherwin said she’s not sure where the school could move.

“If it’s a high rental situation it isn’t something that we could entertain because we are a nonprofit,” she said.

Sherwin recently spoke about the school’s uncertain future to district council.

“I have contacted many people across the North Shore: school boards, recreation centres, developers, and landowners and I have not been successful in finding any alternative location,” she said.

The church has not submitted a redevelopment

application of any kind, according to district Chief Administrative Officer David Stuart. “The property itself is zoned as public assembly so any attempt to change its use would require council approval,” he said.

The district is planning to meet with the United Church to find a way for community groups to use the space over the next year, according to district communications officer Jeanine Bratina.

There is a lack of affordable preschool and daycare on the North Shore, according to Pemberton Heights Community Association president Colin Metcalfe.

“The church gymnasium has become our de facto community centre. Sparks clubs, girl guides, aerobic classes, . . . zumba classes, the Christmas craft fairs are all on the verge of losing their gymnasium.We must find a way to keep it,” he told council.

At least one program formerly run out of the church has found a new home.

Flying Bows, a fiddle class for young children, has got new digs at St. Martin’s Anglican Church on Windsor Road.

“I know it’s not so easy for

the others,” said the program’s proprietor Belinda Scott.

Having a preschool, daycare, and various programs at the same site was very convenient, she said.

“It kind of saved parents juggling work and running to activities,” she said. “I only need a small classroom . . . My heart goes out to the daycare centre and the preschool that need a big facility all week long.”

The congregation first gathered in a North Vancouver schoolhouse in 1914, eventually erecting the church in 1925 and an education centre in 1961.

“The congregation and the church as a whole would like it to be sold to another church, but at this time we cannot say for certain this will happen,” said caretaker Doug Bentley.

Despite church attendance sliding from 200 faithful each week to fewer than two dozen, administrator Kim Dolmage said the closure was a surprise.

“When I got the job last June I actually didn’t know about the closing and apparently neither did anybody in the neighbourhood . . . They kind of kept it tight-lipped, which is unfortunate because now the neighbourhood is very upset about it.”

Aboriginal students supported in WV

Agreement formalizes cultural awareness CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

The West Vancouver School District has signed a five-year agreement that aims to help aboriginal students succeed.

Representatives from the school district, the Squamish Nation and the B.C. Ministry of Education gathered at the Silk Purse Arts Centre June 26 to sign an Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement.

This is the first time a formal education commitment of this kind has been developed in West Vancouver.

The signing marks a partnership between the parties to improve academic and social opportunities for First Nations, Métis and Inuit students in West Vancouver.

“In practice, some of the things that we will now have put into writing are already happening in our schools,”

works for some time.

The four guiding principals of the agreement

include: improving cultural awareness; developing relationships; collaborating

with all educational partners; and inspiring learners.

Pausche said the

agreement is meant to promote cultural awareness not just for aboriginal students, “but for everyone — for staff, for students who are not of First Nations descent, so it will show up in our curriculum as well.”

The 19-page agreement also lays out three goals: improving the sense of belonging and presence of students of aboriginal ancestry; improving the academic achievement of aboriginal students; and increasing the use of “accurate, authentic and relevant” First Peoples’ resources.

There are currently 65 First Nations, Métis and Inuit students in the West Vancouver School District.

That number has increased over the last three years, said director of instruction Lynne Tomlinson.

“I can say that we’re working to increase our graduation rates.That’s what these agreements are all about . . . to support students towards graduation,” she said.

More than 50 school districts in the province have signed at least one Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement, including the North Vancouver School District.

Car part targeted for its precious metals From page 5 roll under, cut the catalytic converter and roll out and be on their way,” De Jong said. “It takes between 11 and 15 seconds, once they’re under your car to rip them off.”

Particularly troubling is the cost of replacing the part compared to how much they fetch on the black market, De Jong said. “They get between $20 and $30 per catalytic converter.They cost between $800 and $1,200 to replace,” he said.

Because the converters don’t have serial numbers, it will be hard to determine if the suspect in Thursday’s arrest is responsible for any of the other thefts, according to police, although investigators are checking to

see if he matches previous suspect descriptions.

The thief (or thieves) have been active in Lynn Valley and along the Grand Boulevard corridor, the area between Queens Road and 19th Street, as well as Mount Seymour Parkway, and Deep Cove. Culprits like to case the neighbourhood looking for easy targets and the return a few nights later, so it’s important to report suspicious activity to police, De Jong said.

Police recommend owners of targeted vehicles park in garages or welllit areas to deter thieves.

Some Toyota owners hired mechanics to weld a metal shield over their catalytic converter, though police urge checking with the manufacturer first.

We’ll need ‘em.

Drought in the U.S. is already significantly affecting agriculture and livestock production. Forget wacko climate change deniers, just ask Mom: food prices are rising in consequence.

California, Arizona, the mid-west grain belt — they desperately need water.

Now China too has a fullblown water security crisis.

It’s cited as a major obstacle to continued economic and social development.

Individual water usage there is only a quarter of the world average, but because of chronic industrial evasion of environmental regulations, 40 per cent of its surface water is unfit for humans. Even basic supply is critical: Beijing and Shanghai are redlisted as areas of “extreme scarcity.”That’s just the optimistic government spin: environmental protests are growing nation-wide and there’s tension with neighbour states like India over shared water resources.

With seven per cent of global fresh water supply, consider the stress Canadians can anticipate for export of this precious resource.While we’re all still

thinking about oil pipelines and, understandably, watching the fabulous World Cup, beneath the radar our Canadian landscape is prime for new forms of exploitation and greater ecodeterioration. * On the green upbeat,

tireless community organizer Elise Roberts has a terrific lineup for Parks Day, Sat. July 19 at the Heritage Centre, 1620 Mt. Seymour Rd. Free outdoor family nature fun all day. I’ll see you there.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to ACTIVE LIVING

Campaign targets teens On the Couch

GOOD TECHNIQUE Columnist Shaun Karp offers tips to help maximize work out results. page 14 HEALTH NOTES page 15

North Shore high schools are experiencing a colourful new approach to the topic of mental health.

This past May and June, Sutherland, Sentinel, Seycove, West Vancouver and St. Thomas Aquinas secondary schools were papered with a Stars and Sticky Notes campaign designed by the Youth Leadership Advisory Board (YouthLAB) of Family Services of the North Shore. Based on similar campaigns across Canada and in the United States, the stars campaign consists of six messages printed on brightly coloured stars.

“They are meant to be compelling and a little subversive in their wording and presentation.

We hope when students encounter them they will see themselves reflected in the messages,” says project co-ordinator Shelley Hine.

Each star is intended to subtly reference a common mental health issue: depression, abuse, disordered eating, anxiety and bullying.

The hope is that the campaign will inspire struggling youth to reach out for help.

The campaign offers six messages printed on sticky notes that are meant to

These are aimed at students experiencing difficulties.

“Being in high school is a stressful time, especially at the end of the school year. We imagined students finding a quote that’s

meaningful to them and sticking it into a notebook or inside their locker as a way to add some light to an otherwise difficult situation,” says Hine.

Statistics show that 11 per cent of B.C. youth are

living with depression, 25 per cent are impacted by anxiety, and 26 per cent have disordered eating. There are no reliable statistics tracking the number of youth experiencing bullying

Warming-up and stretching No matter your fitness level, a warm-up and stretching routine is required prior to any workout.

Your warm-up should consist of approximately 10 minutes on any piece of cardio equipment.The key is to push just hard enough to elevate your body temperature and increase blood flow to the muscles.

Another option is to park a 10-minute walk from the gym, which can be a welcome change of scenery

on sunny days.

Once you’ve warmed up, you should follow a pre-set flexibility program.The order is important because soft tissue flexibility increases with skin temperature elevation and following a carefully planned stretching routine helps to prevent neglect of any major muscle group.

Also, as a type of ongoing warm-up, always begin each new exercise with one set performed at only moderate weight.

The main cause of poor form Poor exercise form almost universally stems from attempting to lift too much weight.This still-toocommon mistake leads to limited range of motion and engagement of the wrong muscle groups, thus reducing physical benefit and increasing the risk of injury.

If your goal is to improve strength, do not overload or sacrifice form, instead, lift at your maximum comfortable limit, but also lower repetitions to approximately six and allow more time for rest between sets.

What good form looks like You will know good form when you see it because it is slow, smooth and complete

of assistance they need in order to enjoy happy and productive lives.”

The agency hopes these initiatives will not only inspire youth to seek help, but also to talk about their experiences with mental health issues.

“There’s such a need to have the important conversations with youth about all these issues,” says Hine. “We want to help spark some real, honest communication about the real life difficulties of youth.”

Now in its second year, YouthLAB was designed to educate its 12 members on crucial mental health issues and to design communication campaigns to reach youth for whom the stigma of seeking counselling is a barrier to getting help.

“We know there are hundreds of youth not getting to us for all kinds of reasons,” says Julia Staub-French, executive director of Family Services of the North Shore. “We wanted to reach youth using language and messaging they could

relate to, and we needed the insights of their peers to do that.”

Last year the group wrote and acted in a video on youth mental health that was then presented, with discussion questions, at North Shore high schools. This year the video was again presented to 500 North Shore students, and the new campaigns were added.

Ultimately, this project is Family Services’ way of creating an opportunity for honest conversation about youth mental health.

“We know people are suffering, and we know it can be extremely isolating to live with these issues.

We would like to be the kind of mental health service that makes youth feel they have an ally in this. We want them to know they do not have to go through this alone,” says Hine.

The message is clear for youth and adults alike: if you are struggling with mental health issues, things can get better, and help is available right here on the North Shore.

The YouthLAB, an initiative within the Child

and Youth Counselling and Prevention Program at Family Services of the North Shore, is funded by private and corporate donations to the organization, such as the Northshore Auto Mall.

There is currently a Telus campaign underway, which is targeted to raise $50,000 for Family Services to continue to support at-risk children and youth in our community.

YouthLAB applications are now being accepted for 2014/2015. The deadline is July 24. Visit familyservices.bc.ca to fill out the online application form.

To access counselling services, learn more about mental health resources or bring the YouthLAB’s Stars and Sticky Notes campaign to your school or community agency, contact Family Services of the North Shore at 604-988-5281 or visit its website.

“The only way I can describe my experience on the 90 Days to a New You program would be ‘life changing’! Before starting, I hadn’t worked out in years, never been on a set eating plan and was really just fed up with how I was spending my life.

I have gained a strength and determination which I didn’t know I had and have found that I now look forward to challenging myself in the workouts. My eating habits have gone through an entire 180!

After the first month on the eating plan, I found that I had more focus and concentration (and that is without caffeine!), my migraines had stopped completely, and I had so much more energy.

It was remarkable to feel the change and that motivated me to keep pushing. I thought I would have huge cravings for my old

Will Canadians outlive their money?

Statistics suggest safety net exists

It’s been called the perfect financial storm.

Seniors are living longer and shrinking investment returns are taking a toll on their nest eggs.

According to the C.D. Howe Institute, our tax policy on seniors’ savings puts them at risk of outliving their money.

Seniors are required to withdraw approximately eight per cent a year from their RRIF after age 71, gradually increasing to 20 per cent a year after age 94. Given today’s low interest rates, a 71-yearold senior’s RRIF savings are likely to be half gone by age 80. By the age of 87 those savings will be eroded by 75 per cent and by age 94 by 90 per cent.

Who is going to live that long? More of us than you might think.

Using current statistics one senior man in seven

Tom Carney

Older andWiser and one woman in four is projected to live to the age of 94. There’s an easy fix here. The government could lower the mandatory withdrawal rate, raise the age at which it kicks in or just do away with mandatory withdrawals altogether.

I’m reminded here of the discussion that took place a few years ago to justify the differences in the cost of prescription drugs in Canada and the United States. In response to the suggestion that the same branded medicine sold in Canada was inferior to that sold in America, Jessie Ventura, the governor

Shylo

NURSING & HOME HEALTHCARE

of the State of Minnesota asked, “Where are all the dead Canadians?”

That prompts me to ask the question: If our tax policy on RRIFs is so onerous, where are all the destitute seniors in Canada?

They shouldn’t be hard to find. Those “punishing” mandatory withdrawal rates on seniors’ RRIFs have been around since 1992. It’s estimated that between 150,000 and 200,000 seniors convert their RRSPs to RRIFs every year. And we don’t have to wait for the era of aging demographics, longer life expectancies and low rates of return on fixed income investments to kick in — we’re there now.

Seniors in dire financial straits in this country should be everywhere.

But they’re not. I think the C.D. Howe Institute underestimates how successful we’ve been in redistributing wealth in Canada. The federal government spends just $12,000 on benefits and

From page 18 who headed up families, don’t have to worry about the drawdown on their RRIFs because, most likely, they don’t have one.

They’re the ones we should be worried about.

I’ve noted previously that seniors control most of the wealth in Canada.

Now, courtesy of a new European study, we learn

that Canada has the wealthiest middle class, read boomers, in the world. We’ve bumped the Americans out of first place thanks mostly to rising real estate prices here and falling prices south of the border.

Given the social safety net for seniors in this country, if we are prudent with our finances, most of us are unlikely to outlive

our money. For reasons that I don’t understand, we like to portray seniors in Canada as impoverished.

I don’t buy that, but mine is certainly the minority view.

‘Baby-T’ aims to educate local youth NorthVan entrepreneur puts lifelike dino to work CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

He’s three metres tall and four metres long, he walks, he talks and he’s showing up at community events across the Lower Mainland.

Meet “Baby-T” — an animatronic dinosaur and the backbone of Animal Ads, a new business started earlier this year by North Vancouver resident Matthew Jacques.

Jacques had originally envisioned Animal Ads as a guerilla-style advertising business. The idea was for Baby-T to show up at parades, festivals and public celebrations wearing a paying client’s logo on his dino-sized shirt, scarf or tail banner and then wait for the crowds to inevitably swarm.

“It’s so simple. We just attract attention and people take our picture,” says Jacques, explaining

snap-happy spectators then post those pictures and videos to social media sites and the images are shared rapidly — to the benefit of the paying client.

But after a few gigs, Jacques has decided to take Baby-T in a different direction and hopes to take advantage of the educational potential of his lifelike dino. He’s currently on the lookout for a corporate sponsor who will provide funding so Jacques can bring Baby-T into elementary schools across the Lower Mainland and lead educational presentations on anti-bullying, peer-topeer team building, or the environment — followed by a meet-and-greet with the students, of course.

“Kids are just drawn to this thing, and it is something to be in awe of.

It’s quite spectacular, to be honest, and it’s fun.”

“If I take on a large company as a sponsor what I’m doing for them

The intention of the proposed designation is to promote and support employment generating uses, in conjunction with limited commercial uses. The proposed Official Community Plan amendment would have the effect of reclassifying the land use designation of said properties: FROM: Industrial TO: Mixed Employment The proposed amendment to “Zoning Bylaw, 1995, No. 6700” would have the effect of reclassifying: 843 West 1st Street 855 West 1st Street

he was in a very different line of work.

“I was looking to start a company power washing high rises and I was going to call it Metal Giants and I was looking for a way to advertise myself to stick out from the norm,” he says.

His plan was to acquire a 16-foot-tall Incredible Hulk to act as the Metal Giants public mascot.

“The whole premise was to get people to look, pay attention, remember,” he says. “It was just to stand out.”

That in-your-face marketing tactic eventually evolved into Animal Ads, but first Jacques needed to find an appropriate mascot.

Animatronic dinosaurs similar to the ones used in the live arena show Walking with Dinosaurs or the touring Erth’s Dinosaur Zoo based in Sydney are available out of Australia for about $25,000, but Jacques was able to purchase a replica from China for “a fraction of that cost.”

When Baby-T arrived, he took it to a local movie studio for a fresh paint job and some touch ups.

To bring Baby-T to life, Jacques rests the 25kilogram dinosaur on his shoulders and accesses hand controls inside the dino to turn Baby-T’s head, open his mouth, blink his eyes and move his tail. For an added touch, he goes out in public with a “handler” who keeps him on a leash. A voice box allows him to talk and roar.

While his educational program is in development, Jacques is earning plenty of publicity for himself. He and Baby-T appeared at the North Vancouver Canada Day Parade, the Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival and the Vancouver Sun Run, to name a few recent events. He also attends kids’ birthday parties pro bono, asking only for transportation costs.

Over the years, the entrepreneur has had several business ventures — some that have succeeded and others that have failed. But this one “is just about fun,” he says.

“It’s about little people, and it’s about the little people inside of the big people.”

TASTE

Tesch takes a chance with new labels

Tim Pawsey

Notable Potables It’s not hard to like Martin Tesch or his wines, for that matter.

Besides, all he makes is Riesling. And he makes it very well.

Tesch is smart, witty and very engaging. But to really appreciate what he’s achieved you need to understand a little bit about the German wine industry and how it has progressed in the last few years thanks in no small part to the likes of Tesch.

There was a time, not all that long ago, when it was all but illegal to mess with the hallowed laws of German wine labelling.

But Tesch did just that when he became involved with his father’s estate, which you could say has been in the family for a few years, since 1723 to be precise. (Even that’s relatively recent history. It was the Romans who first brought vines to the region of Nahe in what is now Germany.)

Tesch decided he wanted to focus on making just one style of wine: dry Riesling.

He reduced the family’s plantings by one third, removing the varieties in which he had no interest but leaving the Riesling old vines untouched, as well as some Pinot blanc (Weissburgunder) and Pinot noir (Spatburgunder).

“I am standing on the shoulders of my father, in terms of these wines,” he says.

Then he went to work on the labels.

Tesch really wanted to convey a simple message, so he renamed his principal wine Unplugged. In addition to

conveying the notion of an unadulterated expression of the grape, the musical reference was deliberate and remains so. Tesch has no shortage of friends in the music business, including a number of high-profile bands.

He says his training as a biochemist came in handy.

“I did not know any rules as in what you should do or not do, so I couldn’t break them on purpose,” he says with a laugh.

Reaction to the renaming ranged from outright shock to amusement. “Although a lot of industry people just hated the package, the consumers loved it,” says Tesch.

Riesling Unplugged won rapid fame, and today they’re pouring it by the glass at the Waldorf Astoria.

“As it turned out it was the best thing to do,” says Tesch, who was also the first to introduce the Stelvin screw cap to Germany.

And he wasn’t finished.

“Reading German wine labels is a black art,” jokes Tesch.

He decided the simplest thing would be to colour code the labels by vineyard. If you are a Riesling lover, do yourself

a favour and track down the vibrant, mineral-driven and quite spicy Karthauser 2012 (brown label), BCLS $27.99, 92 points.

“Some people couldn’t handle it but it was a breakthrough.”

Tesch says ultimately people want to know the name of the winery (and the vineyard), the varietal and the vintage.

The colours were all “stolen” from the London Underground map, he admits.

Belly’s Best:

Tesch Riesling Unplugged 2012 Pure varietal expression: Zingy, mineral, green apple and citrus wrapped in juicy, vibrant acidity. Fresh shucked oysters and a splash of lemon. Nothing more, except sunshine, perhaps (BCLS $19.99, 90 points).

TRAVEL

‘Muni’ maintains a ghostly presence

Shreveport auditorium hosted many music legends JOANNE SASVARI MeridianWriters’ Group

Shreveport, Louisiana — A visit to the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium in northwest Louisiana is a chance to rub shoulders with legends of the American music scene — well, sort of.

At the top of a set of stairs, just off stage left, there’s a door that leads down to the dressing rooms. If you place yourself just so, leaning against the doorframe, you get a perfect view of centre stage. And that’s just what generations of hopeful young musicians have done, watching soon-to-be legends rock out as part of the Louisiana Hayride, then stepping into the lights for their own shots at fame and glory.

Hank Williams stood here. So did Johnny Cash, Johnny Horton, Aretha Franklin and James Brown.

And in 1954, so did a young Elvis Presley. Surely some of their DNA lingers here, just as the tunes first heard at the Hayride still resonate through the American music scene.

The Hayride, you see, was a weekly radio, and later television, broadcast of live country music

Tour the building and you’ll sense the ghostly presence of those who once performed here, emanating from the shabby dressing rooms and from the signatures scrawled on the walls of a disused

projection room.

You’re likely to sense other non-worldly vibrations as well, for this is one of the most haunted buildings in the state.

Doors swing open and shut for no reason, ghostly hands caress women’s hair, childish footsteps ring out in empty rooms — it’s little wonder this has become a regular stop for

ghost hunters.

Other visitors come here to admire the architecture, for the auditorium is considered the finest work of Art Deco architecture in Louisiana. The brick building, adorned with neoclassical-inspired motifs, was designed by local architects Samuel Wiener and Seymour Van Os, completed in 1929 and dedicated to those who served in the Great War. In 1991, “the Muni,” as locals call it, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and, in 2008, designated a National Historic Landmark.

Of course, for most people, its greatest historic

significance is its link with Elvis Presley. He was a virtual unknown when the Hayride signed him to perform every Saturday night for $18 a show. Soon after his debut performance on Oct. 16, 1954, hordes of young women began mobbing the Muni, hoping to catch a glimpse of the singer and inspiring promoter Horace Lee Logan to utter the nowfamous line, “Elvis has left the building!”

Presley went on to become the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, and died in 1977.

The Hayride called it a day in 1969.

The Muni continues to host concerts and

debutante balls, to entertain ghosts and other visitors, and to launch careers. Elvis may have left the building, but his legend—and that of so many others—lingers on in Shreveport’s haunted, and haunting, Municipal Auditorium.

Urban dwellers should respect dog regulations I think that it is safe to say that summer has finally arrived.

Fortunately for the next few months the sunshine is here and reports say it is going to be a warmer and sunnier summer than usual. I say bring it!

Having a dog to share long summer months with really does make the season that much more enjoyable. Whether it’s lounging under the shade of a maple tree at a park, hiking local mountain trails or taking in the sunset at the beach, a dog just makes it . . . right.

But given our rapid population growth and the high-density living that seems to be taking over the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, it is becoming harder to find places to hang out with our beloved canines without feeling the crowds encroaching as more people move into the area.

Parks are getting busier, streets are getting busier and many dog people are ending up in areas that are considered “No dogs allowed” simply because there seems to be less space.

When this happens, it’s only a matter of time before something — or someone — snaps under the pressure of their space being encroached on.

Dogs are no exception.

If you find yourself in areas designated “No dogs allowed” please be accountable for your pet’s

Joan Klucha

Canine Connection behaviour in these areas.

Clean up after it, don’t let it run amok off-leash, and for goodness sake, respect the people who are using the area.

Now, I get that is a bit hard on the ego for some dog owners and they may get a big chip on their shoulder, but my words of advice to them is: “Grow up.” Dog ownership is a privilege, not a right.

Respect the bylaws and if you can’t do that, then at least respect yourself by being polite and sharing the area responsibly.

A friend of mine went to England recently and sent back photos of herself and her black Lab sitting in a pub together having a pint. I love that!

The U.K. is so much more progressive than North America regarding dogs in restaurants and pubs.

Back here in B.C. we seem to be a bunch of germaphobes. Although many dog owners, including myself, regularly bring their dogs with

them to coffee shops and outdoor patios, it is against health regulations for dogs to go inside.

Some establishments will bend the rules a little and allow a dog on the patio with its person, but most simply allow the dog to be tethered to the fencing that surrounds the patio with its person on the other side.

Although I understand the reasoning (health regulations), for dog owners who choose to bring their dogs out with them, it places the dog in a compromising situation. Even the most well-behaved, tolerant and socialized dog can get startled, frightened and threatened when tethered in an unfamiliar area. Even if the dog is familiar with the local coffee shop, all it would take is a child walking by and dragging his or her feet along the pavement in front of the dog for the dog to get freaked out. Not having a place to retreat to, since it is tethered and its owner can’t help, it could protect itself the only way it knows how — by biting.

I do think that in these situations everyone needs to be aware of the potential for danger — not only the dog owners, by having forethought about placing a dog in a situation like this, but also the non-dog people who are walking by. I think we are equally responsible for keeping our dogs and our children safe. Remember: dogs do silly things — they are dogs! But so do children, because they are children!

Neighbourhoods are getting busier with people and dogs. As dog owners, it is our duty to represent ourselves in a way that can educate those who don’t have dogs, but are subjected to them daily due to the growing and mixing of communities.

If not, it will be just a matter of time before the privileges we do have are taken away!

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY

North Shore Stars shining bright Girls team headed to fastpitch international tournament next weekend

STEFANIA SECCIA sseccia@nsnews.com

Scan this page with the Layar app or visit nsnews.com/galleries to see more photos of the North Shore Stars in action.

When Lauren Marshall steps onto first base, her mind is racing to keep up with all the action that happens during a softball game — and she expects no different when her team competes against players across the globe in an upcoming tournament.

The 14-year-old first baseman said she’s both nervous and excited for her North Shore Stars team to play in the women’sonly Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship from July 11 to 21 in Surrey, which will include teams from across North America and abroad.

“I’m expecting my team to do really well because we’re third in the league play, in standings,” Marshall said about her North Shore Stars 99 team.

“I’m really excited for it, and I think we’re going to do pretty well. I’m kind of nervous, but I’m really excited, as well, at the same time.”

Softball is one of the three sports Marshall plays on a regular basis, and she’s been playing it for eight years. She and her teammates practise almost year round, two to four times a week for one to two hours.

“I like how every play you have to think about it and where you’re going to go next, how many outs there are and what the pitch count is and everything about the game,” Marshall noted. “You have to think a lot in this game. I like that.

It’s my passion.”

North Shore Stars coach Casey Anderson agrees.

He said the girls have been working really hard for the upcoming international tournament.

“I’ve been trying to tell them how big this tournament is,” he said. “I think if we’re all healthy, we can do very well.”

The fastpitch tournament began under

Since then, the tournament evolved and this year 92 teams from as far as Mexico, New Zealand and Japan are coming out to the ball game.

Greg Timm, chairman of the Canadian Open Fastpitch Society organizing the championship, said it all started to give women’s teams an opportunity to travel, just like men’s sport teams.

“It’s a real tribute to what’s happening with women in sports because lots of countries now are becoming more enlightened,” he said.

“While they used to travel their men’s teams all the time, the women’s teams weren’t travelling and now it’s starting to happen.”

The fastpitch world of softball is gaining momentum, and the 1,300 athletes coming out to play in more than 350 ballgames is a testament to that, Timm noted.

“It’s our thought that a lot of the players in our tournament don’t grow up with a hero,” he said.

“When I grew up, I wanted to be Ken Dryden, the goalie for the Montreal Canadiens, but that doesn’t

happen so much in female sports. It was our concept that we did that and it has been such a tremendous success.”

As for 15-year-old Emma Anderson, also a North Shore Stars team 99 player, she’s excited to represent her North Shore Girls Fastpitch Association in the upcoming tournament. She says it’s important for girls to play sports.

“Play softball, or even just play a sport to be active,” she said. “You’re fit and you meet new people.

It’s very challenging

and it’s fun.”

West Van hockey player makes a move

STEFANIA SECCIA sseccia@nsnews.com

In a move that didn’t seem to surprise anyone, West Vancouver native Sam Reinhart was snatched up in the first round of the National Hockey League draft on June 27 as the secondoverall pick.

As predicted, the Buffalo Sabres selected Reinhart as its first pick, and he’ll continue to play as a centre as he did with the Western Hockey League.

“I’ve pictured myself in this uniform for a very long time,” he said in an article on the Sabres’ website.

“I’m very excited and I’m very motivated to step into the league next year with a young team that’s developing very well and to make an impact.”

Sabres fans instantly took to social media to express their delight that the Buffalo hockey team chose Reinhart as their top pick.

The Sabres.com website included comments such as, “I knew we were gonna get this guy, couldn’t be happier!” to “STOKED!!

This kid is going to be a star!”

Reinhart himself admitted that he’s been waiting for this moment for all his life.

“I’ve envisioned myself in this position, coming in here at this point in time,” Reinhart told a team of reporters at a press conference in Buffalo Monday morning. “I know I have a lot of work ahead, and I know I’m going to continue to work.”

The new Sabres player studied his team over the last several months and knew he would make the team if he worked hard enough, according to the team’s website.

“Fortunately for me, I’ve had two older brothers go through this experience, I’ve been able to watch them try and make a National

Hockey League team,” he said at the conference.

“Seeing them go through it the past couple of years, it’s made me familiar with the process and I’m comfortable with it.”

Reinhart is another link in the chain that his family started in 1979, when his father, Paul Reinhart, was drafted by the Atlanta Flames, and went on to play 11 NHL seasons with

thing is I feel ready to play,” Reinhart continued.

Although his NHL career is officially just beginning, Reinhart has already received accolades for his talent on the ice. In the WHL, he tied as the No. 4-ranked North American skater in the 2013-14 season. He led Kootenay with 105 points in 60 games during that season, as well.

Reinhart was named the

2013-14 Player of theYear and Most Sportsmanlike Player of theYear at the annual WHL awards. He was also captain of two teams that won gold medals for Canada at the 2012 Ivan Hlinka memorial and the 2013 under-18 world championship.

To top it all off, he wears the No. 23 jersey — the same number his father Paul donned in the NHL.
