Refugee sponsors pained by process Bureaucratic delays cause mounting concerns for family caught in Syrian crisis JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

HishamWattar is worried.

For the past month, the Syrian-born North Vancouver man has been trying to convince his youngest niece not to risk a deadly journey with human smugglers.

So far, he’s talked her into staying in Egypt, where five members of Wattar’s family have been waiting to come to Canada since they fled Syria and were granted refugee status three years ago.

But faced with repeated bureaucratic delays, the young woman is losing hope that she will ever get here.

Lately, she’s been tempted to try a more dangerous journey to Europe — one now being taken by wave after wave of Syrian refugees, from a country where millions have been displaced.

It’s a journey similar to the one attempted by the family of Alan Kurdi, the three-year-old boy whose lifeless body was captured in a photograph that shocked the world after the boat he was in capsized, drowning many on board.

Kurdi’s aunt in Coquitlam had planned to help the boy and his family to come to Canada as refugees.

Wattar understands the frustration that propels families to take desperate chances.

Syria’s refugees capture candidates’ attention BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Though Syria’s civil war has been raging for years and displaced millions of people, the refugee crisis wasn’t a political talking point for Canadian politicians until the now-iconic image of a drowned boy began to flash across our screens.

VOTE 2015 Since that time, the Liberals, Conservatives, Greens and NDP are all pledging to do more for Syria’s refugees.

Visiting West Vancouver on Thursday, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said a Liberal government would bring over 25,000 Syrian refugees in the next few months, which Trudeau estimated would cost about $100 million. The plan would involve hiring more case workers to staff offices set up in Europe.

“As Canadians our

hearts have gone out to the millions and millions of people who are struggling,” he said. “There’s a lot we should do and we should do now.”

Trudeau characterized the Conservative government’s response to the humanitarian crisis as “looking for excuses and See Private page 3

Refugees losing hope in face of long wait From page 1 But so far, “It’s no faster than any other way,” said Moore.

These are people who’ve been “given hope, only to have it put on hold by some bureaucratic office,” he said.

Wattar, who runs Best Falafel in Vancouver, emigrated to Canada himself in the 1980s under a business immigrant program.Three other family members joined him later under a family reunification program.

Other family members who stayed in Syria lived normal lives until that country was torn apart by war.When student protests started on the streets of Damascus during the Arab Spring,Wattar’s 22-year-old nephew was among them.

Authorities reacted swiftly, arresting the young man.

The secret service raided the family home several times.

“They came in with machine guns and searched the entire house.They smashed everything and threw it everywhere,” said Wattar.

They knew it was time to get out.

With Wattar’s help, his sister, two nieces and two of his niece’s children fled to Egypt.

Because private citizens can’t sponsor refugees on their own,Wattar approached Moore in 2012, asking if the church in his neighbourhood would be

LW'Y<P !<%%<)@ '_<%_6 <% )W[Y%@ c.))W_' %Y<% )_-_<%_6 6_Q<C' WO YW' '-.O'.)'YW- <--QW8<%W.O Y<d_ Q_6 %. YW' OW_8_ 8.O'W6_)WO[ P.)_ 6<O[_)."' .-%W.O') DLE(E CINDY GOODMAN able to help.Wattar said it made no difference that he was a Muslim asking a Christian church for assistance.

In October 2013, Wattar and Moore started the process of filling out paperwork.When they got clearance to file a formal application, in July 2014, they were quickly approved and told the forms were being sent to Cairo for further processing.That’s when the wait began.

In March,Wattar contacted his MP Andrew Saxton and asked for help. Saxton promised he’d take up the case with Immigration Minister Chris Alexander.

But little has apparently come of that.

Last month, Moore and Wattar received a letter from

the federal government saying they should expect to wait another 42 months.

That’s when his 27-year-old niece started to lose hope that the family would ever get to Canada.

His niece began talking about paying smugglers to take a boat to Italy, he said.

“That’s the one they call the death boat,” said Wattar.

“It’s the longest (journey) and the most dangerous.”

Moore said he understands the niece’s frustration as the family sits stateless, unable to work, go to school or go on with their lives. “We’ve already been at this 18 months,” he said.

“She’s watching her life pass her by.”

The problems faced

by Wattar and Moore — willing sponsors who have been prevented from

2<O<6<> DLE(E *&DDHK01 bringing refugees to Canada through bureaucratic delays — are ones the federal government has faced increasing criticism for since the photo of little Alan Kurdi went around the world.

Seeing the picture of the boy drowned and face down in the sand was heartbreaking, said Wattar.

“How did we get to that?

How did we let these things happen?” he asked.

For Moore, it was the photo of the rescue worker carrying the lifeless child that struck him hard.

“I’m the rescue worker,” he said. “And that boy could not be rescued.

That’s what hit me. That’s kind of us. I don’t want to

be at that point.”

Moore said it’s important to him to complete the sponsorship for Wattar’s family. “The journey they began is a journey that was promised to them,” he said.

“I’ve had people call me and say they want to sponsor a refugee.”

His advice: “Be ready for a big task.”

Private sponsorship program not ‘user friendly’ From page 1 dragging its heels.”

West VancouverSunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country Green Party challenger Ken Melamed said the current crisis has been exacerbated by the Harper government’s nearly 10 years in power.

“The current situation is condemnable,” he said.

“Harper has cut the public service to the bone. They simply can’t process the applications. We need to have special provisions that allow us to adapt and be more nimble in these times of crisis.”

Melamed said Green members of parliament will also work to address the underlying issues causing the refugee crisis and that more bombs and jets are not the answer.

“Our overseas

development aid has fallen to half of what the UN recommends, which is 0.7 per cent of GDP. We have to look at the root causes,” he said.

“One of our fundamental principles is non-violent response.We think that economic measures are more successful in this case. If we look in the past, military intervention has never stopped militants and terrorists like ISIL. We need to take a different approach.”

The NDP’s plan is to accept 10,000 refugees by the end of this year and increase the number of government-sponsored refugees to 9,000 per year for the next four years, according to Larry Koopman, NDP candidate in West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country.

That would involve

appointing a refugee coordinator to speed up the process and fast-tracking private sponsorships.

“I know it’s an ambitious plan but we do believe that we can do it. It’s going to take a lot of co-ordination and effort,” he said. “Turkey alone has taken nearly two million Syrian refugees.

Germany is expected to take 800,000. It is time for us to move quickly and do the right thing. I think we have a moral obligation to take immediate action.”

North Vancouver Conservative candidate Andrew Saxton said Canada is already punching above its weight when it comes to the refugees, and that the country is also contributing foreign aid and assisting in international military coalition against ISIS. “We originally had a

target of 11,300 Syrian refugees and the prime minister has now increased that to 21,300,” Saxton said. “Obama just announced that they’re going to resettle 10,000 refugees. That’s a country 10 times our size and they’re resettling less than we are.”

Saxton said the refugee system is under a “huge amount of demand” right now, which has put strain on the system. More help is on the way, he added.

“The prime minister did say we are going to be taking some extra, concrete steps to expedite the process. We do anticipate there will be an announcement to that affect sometime soon,” he said. “We have to make sure that refugees have been cleared from a security standpoint and we

don’t think it’s responsible to just send planes over and open the doors like Mr. Mulcair has said, and let anybody jump into the plane.”

Janet Dench, executive director of the Canadian Council for Refugees, said the process for coming to Canada as a refugee has been subject to more barriers and technicalities in recent years, slowing the process for all.

“In the last few years, the focus has been much more on closing the door and restricting who can get in and so there have been very few Syrians who can get in,” Dench said.

“Now you kind of need to spend a year studying it in university before you can figure out what’s going on with the private sponsorship program. It’s certainly not user friendly.”

Dench took exception to the notion that Canada is somehow a leader in resettling refugees.

“I’d say it’s extremely offensive for Canada to be trying to put itself out as being the most generous in the context where many countries, in particular countries around Syria, are hosting millions of refugees,” she said. “Only a tiny percentage of the world’s refugees come to Canada.”

The council, along with a host of other nongovernment agencies, is recommending the government issue temporary residence permits to refugees who can stay with family in Canada, make private sponsorship easier and resettle 10,000 refugees by the end of the year.

Trudeau pledges marine protection Liberal leader promises to reinstate ocean science funding JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau made a campaign stop on the North Shore Thursday to announce his party’s plans to beef up marine protected areas and restore funding to marine scientific research.

Flanked by local Liberal candidates, and accompanied by a phalanx of national campaign staff and media, Trudeau stopped at the dock of West Vancouver’s John Lawson Park pledging to increase the amount of Canada’s marine and coastal protected areas by 10 per cent by 2020.

Trudeau also promised to reinstate $40 million he said has been cut from the federal government’s ocean science and monitoring program. “The war on science ends,” he said.

The Liberal leader

VOTE 2015 also said he supports a moratorium on oil-tanker traffic along B.C.’s northern coast, repeating his position opposing the Northern Gateway pipeline project.

The Great Bear Rainforest is “not a place for a crude oil pipeline,” he said.

But Trudeau ducked questions of whether he supports other projects that have been environmentally controversial, like the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion project and the Woodfibre LNG project proposed for nearby Howe Sound.

On those, Trudeau would only say that he supports ensuring full environmental assessments are conducted.

HW:_)<Q Q_<6_) J"'%WO ()"6_<"> DLE(E CINDY GOODMAN

“Citizens need to be assured issues are properly addressed,” he said. “Before projects get built, they have to acquire social licence.”

He added one factor that should be considered is that fewer oil pipelines means an increase in oil shipments by rail.

Both the Woodfibre proposal in Howe Sound and the Kinder Morgan proposal, which would see an increase in oil tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet, have been hot topics in North and West Vancouver.

The same day, Lynne Quarmby, the Green Party candidate for BurnabyNorth Seymour, voiced

disappointment after the Supreme Court of Canada turned down a request by her and other environmental groups to act as intervenors before the National Energy Board hearings on the Kinder Morgan project.

“As a scientist, I am very concerned about climate change,” said Quarmby in a press statement. Quarmby added the NEB review of the project has become “thoroughly discredited.”

“The whole review process has become an approval process,” she stated.

Trudeau took a few shots at both Conservatives and the NDP during his West Vancouver stop, criticizing the Conservatives’ environmental record in general and painting those in the party as having “openly questioned the existence of climate change.”

Trudeau said NDP leader Thomas Mulcair “can’t do what it takes to protect the environment” because of his promise to not run a deficit.

In May, federal Fisheries Minister Gail Shea also stopped in West Vancouver for a pre-election announcement that Ottawa would spend up to $2.2 million on upgrades to its West Vancouver fisheries research facility. At that announcement attended

by MP John Weston, Shea also pledged money to strengthen Ottawa’s $37 million five-year Marine Protected Areas program and a previouslyannounced $2 million for the Pacific Salmon Foundation towards studying factors affecting survival of juvenile salmon in the Strait of Georgia and surrounding marine environments.

Tapped out T

hanks to recent rainstorms and a drop in our own water consumption, Metro Vancouver has taken us from Stage 3 watering restrictions down to Stage 2.

But before we all go dashing for a sprinkler, it would be good if we took some time to reflect on the lessons these last few parched months have taught us.

Metro Vancouver has pledged to review the entire water conservation plan and we look forward to seeing the results.

Metro utilities committee chairman and City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto has said all options are on the table, including water meters.

Municipalities that have them have been repeatedly shown to be more judicious with their water.

We’d also like to get a better handle

MAILBOX

on industrial and business water usage.

There’s some question about whether we moved to Stage 3 soon enough and we heard plenty of complaints arguing the restrictions on what was allowed and what wasn’t were totally arbitrary.

It’s only prudent that Metro should review its policies after one of the worst local droughts on record comes to an end, but we should also be looking to our own habits.

Our water system is AAA expensive infrastructure and so we want to be damsure that we’re putting it to its best use.

That might not include dumping our drinking water, which is the envy of much of the world, onto our lawns.

No doubt we’ve got some rainy months ahead of us. Let’s see if we can be better prepared for the next hot, dry summer.

Horseshoe Bay losing its cottages Dear Editor: In 2012, when our landlord decided to let his daughter and her family move into the Dundarave house that my family and I had been renting for the five previous years, we decided to rent a nice 1948 cottage in Horseshoe Bay as our new home.

Horseshoe Bay is a lovely place with a lucky name, and it was very quiet, seemingly untouched by the onslaught of apparently unregulated development infecting Metro Vancouver, including much of the North Shore. Fast forward three years and the luck is starting to run out for Horseshoe. During the past year, For Sale signs have popped up and vanished with increasing frequency in Upper and Lower Horseshoe. Quaint houses/cottages have rapidly been vanishing, replaced by the kind of modern monsters one can now find in every Lower Mainland neighborhood.

But the worst result of all this development is the noise. I used to do my Ph.D-style work from home once in a while (UBC is a long haul), but now I no longer can, unless I permanently pin headphones to my ears and crank up the classical music volume. A rare ultra-modern metal frame house has been under construction next door for over a year now, with no seeming end in sight.

(Drilling into metal frames makes a lovely sound,

CONTACTUS

especially at 7:30 a.m.) And another house is coming very soon directly next to the metal-frame monster, and then surely there will be another.

At least Horseshoe Bay residents no longer need to worry about bears coming to town.

Soon my family and I will be on the run again, looking for a pleasant but affordable place to live that is at least marginally within reach of my workplace. Something tells me that the combination of pleasant plus affordable plus near work is going the way of the dodo bird for most Metro Vancouver residents, even for professionals

such as myself who would not be facing this situation in most other places (except in London, Hong Kong and such).

The good folks “running” the North Shore neighbourhoods should sit down and ponder this highly troubling situation in earnest.They should look well beyond the dollar signs, and decide what they want to see at the foot of the Coastal Mountains on the still lovely northern shores of Burrard Inlet in five, 10 and 15 years.

Walter Cicha West Vancouver

Gleneagles bulb-out to slow drivers, cyclists Dear Editor: Regarding Spirit Trail alterations to Marine Drive at Gleneagles elementary, I’m wondering why a section of the alteration was made so narrow. In a day and age when dedicated lanes or appropriately wide enough roads are built to accommodate vehicles and cyclists, they have made the lane so narrow. The fact that it is where children are dropped off and picked up for school makes it even more of a hazard for cyclists. This is on one of the most used

roadways by cyclists on the North Shore.

John Fitzgerald West Vancouver Editor’s note:When asked, District ofWestVancouver spokeswoman Donna Powers said that the bulb-out is an important pedestrian safety measure and is intended to help slow traffic to 30 km/h in the school zone.While it may appear that Marine Drive has been narrowed, the road is roughly the same width as before, Powers said. Paving is yet to be finished.

VIEWPOINT

Strategic voting concept convoluted The apparent closeness of the federal election may deal a major setback to those advocating that people vote “strategically” on Oct. 19 in order to defeat the Harper government.

With polls (for what they are worth, which admittedly may not be much) suggesting there is a genuine three-way race between the major political parties, neither the NDP nor the federal Liberals can make the case that the other should get out of the way in order not to split the non-Conservative vote.

And considering the polls are often contradictory, it’s hard to see how the NDP or the Liberals can use them as “evidence” that one of them should be the natural alternative to the Conservatives.

A great example of why the argument to vote strategically may fall flat can be seen in the new riding of Vancouver Granville. If the riding had existed in the 2011

Keith Baldrey

View from the Ledge election, the Conservatives would have won with just 35.4 per cent of the vote, or about 2,300 votes ahead of the second-place Liberals and more than 5,100 votes ahead of the NDP. A left-leaning activist group called Leadnow is targeting the Vancouver Granville riding as one where people should vote strategically to defeat the Conservatives. But both the NDP and the Liberals are running credible candidates — either of whom would be worthy additions to the House of Commons — and it’s impossible for

anyone to make a credible argument that one of them should be shunned over the other.

The Liberals can make the case that they have, on paper at least and using actual past voting results, the best chance to defeat the Conservatives. The NDP counters that recent polls (those unreliable things) show that party is more popular in this province than the Liberals.

In other words, both parties could be right and both could be wrong.

What’s a voter to think?

There simply is no proven evidence that one party is better positioned to defeat the Conservatives.

Another B.C. riding where the idea of strategic voting becomes a very confusing one is the riding of Victoria, currently held by the NDP. But the Green Party came oh-so-close to winning this riding in a byelection in 2012, losing by just 1,100 votes.

In this campaign, it’s hard to say which candidate

— the NDP’s Murray Rankin or the Green’s Joanne Roberts — has the most residential campaign signs in sight (I disregard signs on public property such as boulevards; a sign on someone’s lawn is an indication of a committed voter), which suggests it is a competitive race between the two of them.

So how is someone able to figure out how to vote “strategically” in this situation? There is a decent chance the Conservatives (who finished third here in 2011) could win with a very low vote count, but why should anyone expect (or demand) that voters for either the NDP or the Greens, given both parties’ apparent strength, abandon their party to embrace another in order to beat Harper’s candidate?

This is another problem with strategic voting. It asks people to vote “against” something rather than “for” something. Other than political activists, I can’t see many people — particularly older voters, who may

warming, to global warming.

Yes, that is right. Despite the fact that 2015 is touted as the warmest year on record, the trend over the last almost 20 years has not indicated global warming at all — in fact, another Ice Age is once again being postulated.

This yo-yo-type science is indicative that the most advanced computer modelling cannot predict climate over long periods of time, no matter what the Suzuki /Gore gods say.

Jerome Henen North Vancouver

have been voting for a particular party for decades — putting aside one set of principles in favour of making sure a party they’ve never supported scores a victory on election day.

Most voters are not closely attuned to the political scene, and pay little attention to election campaigns until near the end of them. Parties can get excited if 1,000 people show up at a campaign rally in a particular riding, but that conveniently ignores the fact that means 44,000 voters (in a 45,000 voter strong riding) stayed away.

And unless something happens in this campaign that suggests that either the NDP or the Liberals are demonstrably and unquestioningly better positioned to beat the Conservatives, both parties’ supporters will likely stay away from strategic voting as well.

Work starts on causeway sidewalks Construction on a $4.37-million project to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety in the Stanley Park causeway will get underway Sunday and stretch into the fall and winter months.

The scope of the project, announced in the spring, includes widening the sidewalks and installing bicycle fencing on both

sides of the causeway.

During construction, pedestrian and cyclist detours will be in place via Hanson Trail and Pipeline Drive between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays.

Daytime vehicle traffic on the causeway will not be affected; however, there will be single-lane closures overnight on weekdays between 9:30 p.m. and

6 a.m. and on weekends between 10 p.m. and 9 a.m.

Pedestrians and cyclists can follow Twitter updates for sidewalk open and closed status at: @DriveBC_LM or @ DriveBC. The detour map for pedestrians and cyclists and details about the project are available at gov. bc.ca/StanleyParkCauseway.

Court told Ivan Henry battles PTSD, anxiety Ivan Henry’s wrongful conviction prompted paranoid delusion disorder, psychiatrist testifies KEITH FRASER Contributing writer

Ivan Henry’s incarceration resulted in him suffering from a paranoid delusion disorder and, since his release from prison, Henry has had symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and high levels of anxiety, a judge was told Tuesday.

Henry, a North Vancouver resident who spent 27 years behind bars after being wrongfully convicted of a series of sex offences against Vancouver women, first started manifesting a psychotic illness when he was arrested for the sex crimes in 1982, said Dr. Adrian Grounds, a forensic psychiatrist.

Grounds, who was described by Henry’s lawyer as a leading expert on wrongful convictions, said that from his arrest until his conviction in 1983, Henry was overwhelmed by the charges against him and developed “complex

paranoid ideas” while he was in Oakalla prison.

“He thought the floor (of his cell) was vibrating and some machinery under the cell was causing this.

He described thinking the cell was moving as if on rails. He said this happened throughout his time in Oakalla.”

Grounds said it was the beginning of a psychotic illness and told B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson that the psychosis continued after he’d been convicted and sentenced.

Under questioning from Henry’s lawyer John Laxton, Grounds said that while he was in prison, Henry experienced a “very considerable fear for his safety” and on one occasion was assaulted.

“That chronic fear was one problem.The second was the separation from his two daughters, the many years of lack of contact between them.That was a source of stress.”

A third problem

Kd<O L_O)C cW%Y YW' 6<"[Y%_) (<OC< EQWd<)_' <]%_) YW' <8+"W%%<Q WO 7;9;> /KH0 DLE(E IAN SMITH/PNG arose when his mother stopped visiting him in 2001. Grounds said Henry believed she’d been subjected to a strip search by prison authorities.

Since his release from prison in 2010, Henry has had symptoms of post-

traumatic stress disorder, said the psychiatrist, who interviewed Henry for 14 hours in March and also interviewed a close friend of Henry and Henry’s one surviving daughter,Tanya Olivares, a North Vancouver resident.

Henry has had nightmares of his time in prison and “very high levels of anxiety,” believing that he might be “set up” by police and re-arrested, said Grounds.

Despite his problems, Henry has shown “remarkable resilience” but will require ongoing therapy that may need to continue for a long period of time, he said.

Grounds also described Henry’s early troubled life, noting that Henry had had a deprived and unstable upbringing, had experienced victimization as a child and had “very poor” relationships with others.

Henry was first convicted of an offence at the age of 16 and until his arrest in connection with the sex offences, had spent half his life in prison.

Prior to the 1982 arrest, there were some indications of stability and maturation, as he was employed in construction and was seeing his two daughters, said Grounds.

How his life would have progressed had he not been arrested is “speculative,” but the work and family commitments would have served to protect him against further offending,

said Grounds.

In 1983 Henry was convicted of 10 sex offences against eight women.

He was designated a dangerous offender and jailed indefinitely. He maintained his innocence but his attempts to get an appeal went nowhere until 2006, when the criminal justice branch appointed a special prosecutor to look at whether a miscarriage of justice had occurred.

The B.C. Court of Appeal released him on bail and in 2010 found that he’d been wrongfully convicted.

Henry is in court now seeking compensation from the provincial, federal and Vancouver municipal governments, alleging police were negligent and the prosecutors failed to disclose material to him at trial.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to ACTIVE LIVING

Paddleboarders wanted ■ Board the Fjord: Stand Up Paddleboard Race, Sunday, Sept.

20. Check in: 8 a.m. at Deep Cove Kayak, NorthVancouver.

Registration: $50/$60/$70. Kids and relay races are free. Board rental: $25. boardthefjord.com ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

HEALTH NOTES page 14

It wasn’t long after Mike Darbyshire started teaching kayaking in Deep Cove that he took up the sport of stand up paddleboarding.

Also a passionate surfer, he quickly realized the opportunity the activity afforded in terms of offering him a chance to enjoy a taste of surfing at home in Deep Cove, obviously lacking in wave action, and viewed it as a means of combining his two passions.

“As I started doing it, I started to really like all the different aspects of it: the fact that you can race, you can go surfing in Tofino, you can go down the Capilano River or the Seymour River, you can do yoga, you can do distance paddling, you can do overnight trips.That’s what’s been cool about it for me. No matter what kind of person you are, what kind of goal you have, through the paddleboard you can get out there and do it,” the 28-year-old North Vancouver resident says.

Today Darbyshire is a Starboardsponsored stand up paddleboarder and serves as operations manager for Deep Cove Kayak. He’s also the brainchild behind Board the Fjord, a Stand Up Paddleboard Race presented by Deep Cove Kayak in its fifth year, open to both elite and recreational racers. Last

year’s event saw more than 100 people participate and according to organizers, it’s the biggest stand up paddleboarding event in Greater Vancouver.This year’s edition is set for Sunday, Sept. 20 in Deep Cove.

The event was founded in response to the growing popularity of stand up paddleboard racing.

Deep Cove Kayak has a long history of involvement in kayak racing, for instance for the last 17 years has been presenting weekly Tuesday night races in Deep Cove, says Darbyshire.When paddleboarding started to come along they had a few people who were getting into racing and wanted to offer something similar for the burgeoning community. “We started seeing that there was room for an event in Deep Cove and we just wanted to make it happen,” he says.

Darbyshire was further compelled to launch Board the Fjord out of an interest in exposing the paddleboard community to the natural wonders of the local area.The event’s 14kilometre course will take paddlers around seven different islands in Indian Arm, North America’s southernmost fjord. “I think it’s very unique in that way. I don’t know any other race that is quite as scenic and that has the beauty in the race course the way ours does,” he says.

In addition to the 14-km course (the course record of which is around 90 minutes), those looking for something more recreational in nature can choose from shorter course options — seven and four km in length. A four-person coed sprint relay (surfboard class only with boards provided), will also be offered, along with a one-km kids race. “By having the elite guys in

Delicious solution to a delayed meal

Sometimes you should ask for compensation when what you pay for doesn’t live up to expectations.

But sometimes a patient and understanding manner can yield equally beneficial results.

A friend and I went for breakfast at Café Medina in Vancouver where the lineup outside starts well before opening time.

This sudden influx of diners pretty well fills the restaurant resulting in an onslaught of orders, or

who gets served first.”

We obviously didn’t do too well in that lottery because almost an hour later we were still waiting for our breakfast while folks at neighbouring tables had already come, eaten and gone.

We were reassured, with an apologetic explanation, that our meal would be served soon and it arrived shortly thereafter.

In due course, I asked for the bill. But when I turned over the piece of paper, I saw this

hand-written message: “Breakfast is on the house today. We apologize for the wait! Hope you have a wonderful day! Thank you for your patience!”

My dining companion and I were truly surprised; we hadn’t suggested or expected anything like this.

When I asked to see the menu so I could calculate what the tip would have been, the server suggested that really wasn’t necessary. However, I felt she shouldn’t lose out just because the meal had

And obviously our patient and understanding manner had also yielded a positive result.

So the next time a purchase of goods and/or services falls short, find out why.

Then decide which approach would be appropriate, for example an understanding manner, a suggestion/request for a discount or other compensation (whichever will cost the provider

less but still give you a benefit), or a combination of the two.

Also, remember to put yourself in the other person’s shoes to give you an idea of how you would react if the positions were reversed.

TASTE

Okanagan fires didn’t damage fall wines

Tim Pawsey

Notable Potables It’s harvest time in the Okanagan.

And my hunch is that more than a few people are breathing a whole lot easier than they were a few weeks ago.Yes, we’re about to celebrate what may turn out to be one of the best vintages to date in B.C.’s young history, but the drought just experienced could have had serious implications for the industry.

When fires raged on either side of Oliver, all it would have taken was a slight shift in the wind to consume some of the longest-established vines in the south Okanagan.

The good news is, with (hopefully) the worst of the fire season behind us the damage in the Okanagan Valley was light, with little if

any risk of smoke taint for 2015.

Wine growing can be a tenuous affair on many levels. If you were lucky enough to take in the Main Event at Top Drop this week you might have (should have) tasted the wines from Chateau Musar. In spite of all odds (including 15 years of Lebanon’s civil war), the Bekaa Valley winery has managed to make every vintage except one (1976) since its founding in 1939.

The late ownerwinemaker Serge Hochar, who put Chateau Musar on the world wine map, brought grapes by truck through the war zone to his Beirut winery. (I was lucky enough to meet him in 1998).You can find Chateau Musar’s flagship blend of old vines Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault at BCLS and some private stores, while Kitsilano’s Supermarine pours Chateau Musar Rosé by the glass.

A year ago this week, I was in Languedoc, tasting some excellent wines at Domaine Le Clos du Serres, on the wild and rocky newly declared AOC Terrasses de Larzac, not far from Montpellier.

When our group arrived there was a real buzz at the winery with a palpable sense of busyness and expectation in the air as the harvest was just getting underway.

As we tasted through the wonderfully structured blends (including Clos du Serres Les Maros 2012, 92 points), the balmy weather started to change and the winds picked up.

Suddenly, almost without warning, the storm hit with a vengeance. Rain lashed sideways. Plastic buckets awaiting the pickers by the vines were hurled across the yard.The storm turned out to be one of a series resulting in flooding throughout the region with a devastating impact on agriculture.

After a turbulent year for many in the Okanagan and elsewhere,Thanksgiving may just be a whole lot more meaningful.

There’s no better way to celebrate our own industry than to take in the Okanagan Fall Wine Festival, which kicks off in Kelowna, Oct. 1, with the B.C.Wine Awards Tasting.

New this year is Cropped.

Billed as “B.C.’s Largest Wine Tasting and Farmers Market,” this extravaganza brings together more than 80 wineries along with a wealth of produce and cheeses (including seminars with the Dairy Farmers of Canada), live bands and more.

Belly’s Best Black Hills Syrah 2013 While the flagship Nota Bene blend (92 points, 2013) still gets all the glory, the all-too-often-overlooked Black Hills Syrah is another pace-setter and a good indication of what to expect from 2013 premium reds.

Architect builds on family legacy Work featured in currentWest Vancouver Museum exhibit

Peter Pratt’s solution for North Shore homeowners wanting to downsize was found in his own backyard.

It began with the restoration of his family home, originally designed and built in West Vancouver by his father, architect Ned Pratt, in 1951.

Ned Pratt was a prominent member of an informal mix of artists, artisans and architects — colleagues, friends and rivals — who manifested their vision of art and architecture into the post and beam style known as West Coast modern.

In the early 1950s people were making their way to the North Shore, attracted by large lots at affordable prices. Post and beam design made the most of the area’s dramatic natural landscape.

The simplicity and flexibility of post and beam construction made economic sense. Built for $10,000, the house Ned designed for his family was also intended to demonstrate an affordable construction option for these new families.

Muriel May, sales agent for British Properties Ltd., considered a $10,000 price tag too cheap for the neighbourhood. As Peter recalls, she tried to put the kibosh on Ned’s plan to build, but he managed to win the day.

Raised in the company of creative professionals who were defining the modernist style, Peter chose architecture as his profession. He continued his studies in Japan and in Greece and developed an international practice.

Peter was working on a

project in Kuala Lumpur when he took on the challenge of restoring his family home, 60 years after it was built. It was a leap of faith.

“I was away so much, working,” he recalls, “that I had to make decisions at a distance without being sure of the consequences of those decisions.” Like every creative project this one had its moments. “In the end, it worked out nicely because the design fundamentals — posts, beams and four-byeight infill panels — easily accommodates both expansion and contraction of the structure.”

The house, which had expanded over time to approximately 3,000 square feet, was scaled back by more than half, to about 1,200 square feet, yet the integrity of the original design was preserved.

As the restoration progressed, Peter designed and built a second house on the property. He set himself the task of designing a house that, while small in area, feels spacious.

In the new house, with a footprint of 1,150 square feet, every aspect of the design has been thoughtfully considered and executed. “I thought of a cabin on a boat, where everything must have its place,” he says.

In Peter’s home, the bedrooms, service and storage area is standard stick-built construction.The kitchen and living section, built on post and beam principles and modified by modern technology, resonates with the design of the original house.The living room, anchored at both

Memory Lane

ends by a fireplace, opens to the natural landscape.

The generous use of glass erases the division between inside and outside. “There are views wherever you are in the house.You feel you’re outside,” says Peter.

Spacious, airy, comfortable and efficient, the new house links with the restored original by a covered walkway and courtyard.

In 1951, Ned designed a post and beam prototype that would be livable and affordable for growing families. Sixty years later, with a smaller house seamlessly integrated with the original on the same property, Peter has created an option for people wanting to downsize.

“Adding a smaller house to a property is an alternative for empty-nesters.

A separate dwelling might be for family or guests, for a caretaker or for rental income. Depending on the house design, the primary house can be reduced in size.We must take our emotional attachment to familiar surroundings into consideration.The addition of a small house would allow people to continue living at home, enjoying their gardens and their neighbourhood,” he says.

Peter’s family home is featured in the current

PETS

Maybe humans aren’t so bad after all They say that admitting you have a problem is the fist step to recovery, so here it goes.

I have an aversion to the human race. I prefer the company of dogs and horses to people. I’d bend over backwards (and I have) to help an animal, any animal. But I think twice, even three times, when it comes to people.

There, I’ve done it (whew).

I never used to be this way, but after many years of being thrown under the bus as my reward for helping my fellow humans succeed in their endeavours, I’ve grown to distrust my brethren.

Enter my dog Raider.

Raider is the complete opposite from me when it comes to people. If the saying “A dog is a reflection of its owner” were true, it certainly would not apply to Raider and me, for he is the happiest flipping dog I have ever met. I mean really, there is not a human being to whom he does not offer a wag of his tail and a big smile. He has made the

Canine Connection most crotchety of people break into a big-toothed grin when he prances his cuteness in front of them.

As a result, I must follow suit, for I certainly can’t be bitter at the human race with the cutest dog in the world prancing around at the end of his leash. And this has had a profound effect on many a person, even me.

Just the other day, we went to a park along the Fraser River. All three of my dogs and I walked along the trail that paralleled the river and came across a group of senior citizens staring out over the water

and mountains. There was a palpable solemn silence from the group of eight or so people.

Raider seemed to take this as a cue to pull out the ultimate in cuteness tactic and began to chase his tail directly in front of them. It took no less than two seconds for an elderly crackled voice to shout out, “I used to have a border collie!”

That was all the incentive Raider needed to prance over to the woman in a wheelchair and give her his best “cutest dog ever” look and rest his head in her lap.

The smile that spread across her face melted the ice around my heart.

Soon the entire group had wheeled or pushed their walkers over to my dogs. They all had their favourites. Some loved Piper with his short dappled fur and velvety soft ears. Others told me stories of their German shepherds and how loyal they were.

Others shared their love for border collies.

Laughter rang out over

Deliver the dream

the water as I showed off some of Raider’s tricks such as “bounce backwards on your hind legs” and “bang, you are dead.”

When my dogs and I left the group, there was lively chatter among them about how they had shared their lives with dogs instead of the dead silence that we entered into.

We continued our walk and decided to sit at a park bench.

“Are they all yours?” I heard a voice come from my side.

“Yep, they are.” I didn’t look up, but replied with a smile in my words as I rubbed my dogs’ heads affectionately.

“You are lucky, they are beautiful.”

The voice came from a mother and her daughter sitting on a bench a few yards away.

“Thank you,” I said.

“They are pretty special” Raider took that as an invitation to go say hello and soon the two people were swooning over him.

He looked back at me over his shoulder as if to say,

“See Mom, they’re not all that bad.”

I just shook my head and smiled as the ice around my heart melted a bit more.

“That damn dog, making me see the good in people,” I mumbled to myself.

A few moments later we continued our walk and I observed Raider smile and wag his tail at literally every single person we came across. To my surprise I began to do the same. I

wasn’t wagging my tail, but I was giving a genuine smile and “hello” and it felt good.

It felt good to show kindness and joy to strangers, and with happy dogs at my side I got it back tenfold . . . and the healing begins.

Keep kitties safe from highrise balcony falls The B.C. SPCA is warning cat owners who live in highrise buildings to safeguard their feline companions following the recent injury or death of several cats that fell from balconies.

In August, the Vancouver shelter had five cats brought in that were seriously injured after

jumping or falling from highrise balconies. Two of them were so badly injured that they could not be saved.

If cats are allowed out on highrise balconies, the SPCA advises owners to ensure the area is enclosed so the animals can’t fall through the bars or above the railing.

All new for Capilano Blues Dramatic tie kicks off campaign for young team and rookie head coach ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com

It was only a tie, but it sure felt like a win for Capilano University women’s soccer rookie head coach Dennis Kindel and his new-look Blues.

Capilano opened their season on the road against the Kwantlen Eagles Wednesday and — after trading goals in the first half, including a tally for Blues rookie forward Martina Bohomol Villa — found themselves down 2-1 in the dying seconds of the game. With less than a minute to play the Blues won a corner kick, giving them one final shot at a draw.

“We threw everybody, even our goalie, into the

box. We could lose by 2-1 or 3-1, it didn’t matter,” said Kindel.

Dayne McGregor swung in the cross and rookie defender Jessica Price rose up above the crowd to nod in the equalizer. For the players on the field it felt like a 2-2 win for Capilano.

“The other team felt like they lost,” said Kindel.

“They got to half and the ref blew the whistle. It was one of those ‘don’t give up, don’t die’ (games). It was a good way to start. It felt like a win even though it was a tie.”

The feel-good draw provided a nice first impression of the PacWest league for Kindel, a former Capilano player who helped guide the Blues to a CCAA national title

in 2003, winning the top goalkeeper award at the tournament. Earlier this year Kindel was hired as the head coach of the Capilano women following the departure of Darren Rath. Kindel, a Burnaby native, has a long coaching resumé that includes a current position in the Sentinel secondary soccer academy. The Capilano job, however, is a special one for him.

“For me it was like a dream job to come back and coach somewhere that I had the best three years of my life when I was younger,” Kindel said.

“I’ve coached women’s soccer before in the premier league but this one is definitely slightly See Kindel page 26

Kindel won national gold as Blues goalie From page 25

last in the league, and hasn’t made the PacWest playoffs since 2009.

Turning around those numbers sounds like a daunting task but Kindel looks at it a different way.

“I don’t feel that it’s that tough — the only thing I can do is go up,” he said, adding that he isn’t worried about the past, only the present and the future. There isn’t much of

different and better. All the girls want to be there — they’re there for school, they want to be part of a program, to be part of something while they are in university. Being around that atmosphere, it’s really fulfilling.”

Kindel is coming into a team that didn’t record a win last season, finishing

a past to speak of on this team — only a handful of players are back from last season, with only three players boasting more than one year of experience at the post-secondary level.

“My worry would just be revamping this program,” said Kindel.

“We only had five players from last year stay on the team, so we had to go recruit another 15. We had

The 35th Annual TERRY FOX RUN for Cancer Research

to get a whole new team.”

The three longestserving Blues are fifthyear Handsworth grad Demi Skierka, fourth-year defender McGregor, and third-year forward Olivia Ruygrok.

The team’s rookie crop is bolstered by several recruits from a youth team in the Coquitlam MetroFord club that Kindel has been coaching for several years.

“I’ve been coaching them since they were 13, and it just so happens that they graduated the same time I got this job,” he said. That list includes rookie headliner Taylor Einhorn, whom Kindel is counting on to make big contributions early in the season.

“She covers a lot of ground and is a workhorse in the middle for this team,” said Kindel, who has already named Einhorn one of the team’s four rotating co-captains along with Skierka, McGregor and Ruygrok.

The first job for Kindel and the returning players is getting the team’s army of rookies ready to play against players that are older, bigger and stronger than any they’ve ever faced.

“The biggest thing I think is just gaining the confidence,” said Kindel.

“This team, when they’re training, is just 100 miles an hour. They’re gelling so well together, their possession and keeping the ball in training and practice is unbelievable.

They’re still slightly shy with it on the field (in games), but I feel like as they get more mature — especially the young ones not getting pushed off the ball going up against players four years older than them — once they get used to that then I feel like it’s just going to all come together. It’s on the verge of getting there, I just don’t know when it’s going to explode…. I’m just hoping some of them burst out of their bubble a little bit. I see it happening, it’s just a matter of time.”

Goal number 1 is to get the Blues — a perennial championship contender before their recent drought — back into the playoffs.

Kindel said he is “very confident” that Capilano will make the top four in regular season play to book a spot in the provincial championship tournament.

Beyond that, he said he’s hoping to make Capilano a destination program for talented Lower Mainland soccer players who have a lot of options when they come out of high school.

“My biggest thing for the program is start

making an atmosphere where I don’t even have to recruit — players from all over the Lower Mainland are hearing about the program, that it’s a good program and players that are in it are enjoying it,” he said. “Obviously that comes with getting success on the field as well, but if I can create an atmosphere where people are talking about it, then it makes recruiting even easier.

People will just email me saying ‘(I) want to be part of the program, when are tryouts?’”

The Blues will be looking to add more points this weekend in a pair of contests, including a trip to Squamish to take on Quest on Saturday followed by the home opener against Vancouver Island University on Sunday. Kindel is hoping their dramatic tie in the season opener will set the stage for bigger things to come.

“I feel like this weekend we can carry on that energy from that tying goal and hopefully that will give us the confidence to go get our first win.”

••• The Blues host the VIU Mariners in the home opener Sunday, Sept. 13 with the women kicking off at noon and the men to follow at 2:30 p.m.
