Knowing these levels ensures proper management of thyroid functioning.

Inflammation can also be present in the thyroid gland, which may not necessarily affect the levels of TSH. If the active thyroid hormone produced is low (T3), then symptoms of low thyroid function will be exacerbated.

Have you ever wondered why some individuals are able to lose weight with diet and exercise, and other individuals cannot lose weight despite a disciplined program?

Dr. Cathryn Coe ND “What can cause low thyroid function?

Chronic stress, as well as unbalanced hormone levels,...”

Are you experiencing thinning hair, loss of lateral third of the eyebrows, mental fogginess and low sex drive?

Have you had a good metabolism all of your life, and with menopause noticed weight gain around your midsection? Your thyroid may be to blame. But what if your thyroid tests appear normal?

What can cause low thyroid function?

Chronic stress, as well as unbalanced hormone levels, can decrease the production of circulating hormone levels. High cortisol levels (stress hormones) can cause high levels of reverse T3, a hormone that binds to thyroid receptors and makes them less efficient. Low levels of the hormone progesterone can cause a decreased production of active thyroid hormone.

This hormone typically will decrease with fluctuations in hormone levels leading up to menopause.

The standard blood test for thyroid function is called TSH, or thyroid stimulating hormone. This is a measure of how hard your thyroid gland is working to produce thyroid hormone.

It is possible, however, for the TSH levels to be normal but other markers of thyroid function, such as T3 and T4, to be low. These levels are not

Loutet Farm is situated at the south end of Loutet Park in North Vancouver’s Grand Boulevard neighbourhood, near Sutherland secondary.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY PAUL MCGRATH

Five years in, North Van’s Loutet Farm a growing concern

The edible garden Loutet Farm, the North Shore’s first and only urban farm and farm gate marketplace, came into existence with a groundbreaking ceremony in February 2011 at the underutilized south end of Loutet Park in the City of North Vancouver.

Five years later, Loutet has become a popular community focal point, with farm gate sales every Wednesday and Saturday, May through October.

Managed by the Edible Garden Project, Loutet is supported through the North Shore Neighbourhood House in partnership with the City of North Vancouver and the University of British Columbia.

New this year, at the first Saturday market of each month, local vendors will sell a variety of baked goods and fine crafts and art in addition to the farm’s fresh produce.

In 2015, Loutet Farm harvested more than 9,500 pounds of produce, bringing in $55,000 in revenue, with funds going back into farm operations, which allow the farm to also offer a multitude of gardening and farming workshops like beekeeping as well as hands-on learning opportunities for young and old.

Also in 2015, the Sutherland Secondary Schoolyard Market Garden was established to provide an additional stream of produce and give students and school communities the opportunity to learn

Salad turnips and radishes for sale at the farm. about food and its connection to community land and health. Loutet Farm also hosts a wide range of events throughout the growing season. Four hundred volunteers get their hands dirty in different tasks and jobs, helping to create a vibrant community hub. On Aug. 18 the Farm to Feast long-table dinner fundraiser for the Edible Garden Project takes place amongst the produce fields of the farm and includes a catered dinner along with silent and live auctions. For details about Loutet Farm, opening hours and programs check out ediblegardenproject.com/loutet-farm.

We often mention the benefits of regular exercise to our health.

We talk about walking, swimming, exercise circuits etc. But one activity that can be really helpful to prevent heart disease is dancing. It’s a good mix of aerobic exercise and social interaction.

The Squamish Nation has filed a lawsuit in the federal court against Trans Mountain Pipeline, asking the court to quash conditional approval given to Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion project

by National Energy Board in May.

Suit challenges NEB approval of pipeline project

The Squamish lawsuit, filed this week, argues the approval for the project was given without adequately consulting the First Nation on how the pipeline expansion could impact the Squamish’s aboriginal rights.

Squamish Chief Ian Campbell said the Squamish filed the lawsuit to force the government to conduct a proper process that would involve meaningful consultation with First Nations “as well as other British Columbians who have expressed very serious concerns about this proposal.”

“We were completely dissatisfied with the NEB process,” said Campbell.

Campbell said the threeperson panel appointed by the federal government to conduct additional consultation following the NEB approval is “too little, too late.”

The Squamish are the second North Shore First Nation to file a lawsuit challenging the project. The Tsleil-Waututh filed a lawsuit against the National Energy Board, the federal government and Trans Mountain in 2014, arguing they had not been properly consulted.

Last week, Campbell and Tsleil-Waututh Chief Maureen Thomas joined representatives from the Musqueam Nation and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson in Ottawa to lobby against the pipeline expansion.

Campbell said the group met with Liberal MPs and ministers, including Minister of Natural Resources Jim Carr.

The meetings were respectful, but didn’t provide much comfort on what a final decision on the Kinder Morgan project might be, said Campbell.

Referring to decisions looming on the Kinder Morgan

and Enbridge pipelines in B.C. and the Energy East pipeline on the East Coast, Campbell said, “The sentiment in Ottawa is that one of these (pipeline) projects must go, and not everyone is going to be happy.”

Campbell said he welcomes Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s commitment to redefine Canada’s relationship with First Nations, but added, “Now what does that look like? What are the tangible results? This particular project certainly represents an ability to redefine those relationships.”

New drone to assist with rescue operations JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

North Shore Rescue has a new team member.

The volunteer rescue squad added their first drone, Delta 1, to their collection of long-lines, crampons and other life-saving tools last weekend.

While the first operational flight could be months off, the team is anxious to get the drone in the air, according to NSR’s Curtis Jones.

“We’re going to start using

it for looking over edges or for searching an isolated boulder field,” he said.

During previous searches, NSR team members removed the door from a helicopter so they could survey snowcovered boulders through binoculars. The new drone, a DJI Phantom 3, could be piloted around treacherous terrain and search in a grid pattern, Jones explained.

Measuring about 30 centimetres from end to end and weighing a little more than one kilogram, the drone provides a

live feed in 4K, the equivalent of high-definition television.

The built-in camera also allows rescue volunteers to scan footage frame by frame without any blurring, Jones noted. While they’re happy to have it, Jones acknowledged the new tool is “a bit of a fair weather drone.”

While it can handle heat, the drone can’t fly when it’s colder than zero Celsius. “It can handle significant wind, but it can’t handle moisture,” Jones noted.

The drone can transmit

from as far away as five kilometres, although it won’t likely fly that far from the pilot, Jones said. “We’re constrained in that legally we have to maintain line of sight at all times.”

Operators are also required to keep their drones no more than 90 metres above the ground.

While NSR might require permission from Transport Canada to conduct searches on the front side of the North Shore mountains, Jones said they’d likely be able to fly the drone on the back side of the

Just a few years ago, the drone would have cost close to $10,000. NSR picked up the Phantom for slightly less than $2,000, Jones said.

Jones already has plans for a second, bigger drone equipped with an infrared sensor that could detect lost hikers by body temperature.

“We’re moving forward in baby steps,” he said.

Transport Canada is expected to update their rules around drones in 2017.

West Vancouver councillors urge action on housing crisis Motion calls on province to control real estate speculation JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

The skyrocketing housing market in Metro Vancouver is like a Ponzi scheme, says West Vancouver Coun. Craig Cameron, one that “advocates we keep selling to more suckers.”

But “eventually you can’t keep selling shares in the Ponzi scheme,” he said.

“Eventually it has to stop.”

Cameron and fellow West Vancouver councillor Mary-Ann Booth say it’s time municipal leaders put pressure on the province to take action to cool the red-hot real estate market that’s priced housing out of reach for many people.

Ironically, West Vancouver is one of the most unaffordable communities in the Lower Mainland, where an average detached home now sells for $3 million and $4 million “teardowns” aren’t unheard of.

But Booth said even longtime residents who’ve watched their equity climb are worried about what kind of community they’ll be left with

West Vancouver Couns. Mary-Ann Booth and Craig Cameron – a place where their children can’t afford to live and houses are owned by wealthy absentee investors. “There is social unrest around this,” she said.

On Monday, Booth and Cameron are putting forward a resolution that they hope West Vancouver council will vote to take to the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in September, calling on the province to take action to curb real estate speculation, particularly by foreign investors.

The province has done little to deal with the problem, the two councillors say, because politicians are loathe to do anything to cool the industry that’s backstopping the B.C. economy. Provincial politicians also don’t want to risk the wrath of homeowners who could see their new-found equity decrease under such measures, they say.

But something’s got to give, argue Booth and Cameron.

“There’s a realistic value that should be placed on

our homes,” said Booth.

“Intuitively anyone knows that what houses are going for now is not proportional,” she said.

“Equity in people’s houses is not the only variable that you have to be concerned with,” adds Cameron.

“Affordability and accessibility and the health of the community and the ability of people to live even close to where they work” are also important.

“The longer it goes on, the worse the consequences.”

So far, the message from the province to local politicians has been that they need to increase housing supply and create greater density, said Booth. But with condos also now going for $1,000 per square foot, “I don’t truly believe the supply side is going to bring the affordability index down,” she said. “I think something needs to be done to cool demand.”

“We’ve had an enormous number of housing starts in Vancouver over the last five or 10 years but it hasn’t done

anything to moderate prices,” added Cameron.

The two councillors say most of the measures that can have an impact are ones the province controls, including the ability to impose speculation taxes on property flippers and those who leave their homes vacant.

“I’ve heard many, many stories of houses flipping quickly,” said Cameron.

“People buy houses and sell them three months later for $300,000 more and sell them a year later for $1 million. It’s kind of a gold rush frenzy…”

Both Cameron and Booth said senior levels of government also need to close tax loopholes on people claiming capital gains tax exemptions on windfalls from home sales who in some cases have never lived in the home and simultaneously claim they aren’t residents of Canada for income tax purposes.

The two councillors, whose motion will go before West Vancouver council Monday night, say they believe there is support for action among municipal leaders.

“Housing prices have gone nuts in Burnaby, they’ve gone nuts in New West and in Richmond,” said Cameron. “In Coquitlam you can’t buy anything for less than $1 million . . . We’re hearing reports of what’s going on in Victoria.”

“People are really dismayed at what’s happened. ...

We’re adding our voice to the chorus.”

T

his was an odd week on the North Shore, as we spent a lot of time writing about effects, but very little writing about cause. The pleasing site of June snowflakes dusting Grouse Mountain Tuesday was quickly eclipsed by pictures of muddy torrents streaming down West Vancouver streets.

But while basements bore the brunt of West Vancouver’s intense rainfall, approximately 60 Dawson Creek residents fled their homes after 100 millimetres of rain pelted the town.

As we go forward, we face twin dangers: the first is that the climate is changing, the second is that we aren’t.

American author John Steinbeck famously wrote about the transformative impact of Ford’s Model T, which left “the Anglo Saxon home so warped that it never quite recovered.”

For generations we have built and refined a car culture that touches nearly every aspect of our lives.

That culture is what we must now rise above.

We have to be willing to forego parking spots, to walk, and we may even have to watch some of our tax dollars sink into the morass of TransLink.

The recent burglary of a Syrian refugee family’s Blueridge home brought to mind the horrendous conditions that precipitated the family’s flight from their home country.

The 2011 uprising in Syria followed a five-year drought that included the worst three years in the history of the Fertile Crescent.

Our planet is small, our problem is huge and our time is short.

Luckily, we have both the cause to act and the power to affect change.

Curriculum changes: ‘new’ isn’t always better ROLAND M. SCHULZ Contributing writer

I

was surprised to read that the Education Minister Mike Bernier stated the reason for getting rid of most provincial exams is because the emphasis on memorizing subject content is at odds with the new curriculum.

He suggests not only is memorization inherently bad (which is questionable, in an age where students’ memory is steadily eroding, and the fact it’s a vital learning tool) but writing exams is primarily about learning “low level facts.”

This is a common misconception, and a caricature of valid exams, though poor

exams are done this way.

Is the minister suggesting that has been the nature of British Columbia provincial exams? Why then did the very same ministry install Grade 10 exams about a decade ago, if it knew this to be the case — at considerable cost to the public?

As a physics teacher with 25 years’ experience here and abroad, I can assure the minister he is mistaken.

He’s not aware that science exams have always exhibited three cognitive levels: knowledge (facts), understanding and higher ability.

Colleagues at university would probably disagree their exams are about “memorization.”

CONTACTUS

The validity of exams is based upon the need to show learning over the entire course, prepare for university, and as a common standard for schools and districts across B.C. Why would they insist on MCAT (Medical College Admission Test, a standardized, multiple-choice exam)?

The validity of exams is based upon the need to show learning over the entire course, prepare for university, and as a common standard for schools and districts across B.C. They are abused for school and teacher ranking but abuse

should not abrogate right use.

Having experienced three new curriculum (average one in 10 years), the last in science barely eight years ago (dollar cost to the public for textbooks, professional development days, etc.), one wonders why another major overhaul is again being forced upon teachers — for the same

reasons, under the guise better and deeper learning will result.

Were the previous ones all failures? No, rather educational ideologies and agendas are always changing. Some aspects are useful (focus on indigenous learning/creative thinking), more teacher-centred assessment, yet at cost of losing a common standard.

How well the new curriculum will serve B.C. students and parents depends on how well we compare in the next Programme for International Student Assessment study, run independently by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Accessibility is key to Ambleside enjoyment Dear Editor: An open letter to mayor and council: I agree with Trevor Lautens’ sentiments in two recent North Shore News articles.

The Spirit Trail at present is poorly conceived and incomplete. Decisions are being imposed on our community that no one wants and everyone will regret.

And all originate with this proposed trail.

Touted as a biking/walking route from Deep Cove to Horseshoe Bay, I can find no information on West Vancouver’s website, and no route plan.

Where does it go west of Ambleside? Surely not along narrow, winding Marine Drive. Join Trans Canada Trail along Fulton and up

30th to the highway? Where?

Without a route plan, it is fatuous to discuss serious changes to Ambleside.

Without the trail, the boat launch ramp does not need to be closed. The popular stroll along Argyle does not need to be closed. The precious parking along Argyle and at John Lawson Park do not need to be removed. The Harmony Arts Festival can continue to invite visitors to enjoy local art and music.

At open houses at the West Vancouver Community Centre, I was told that nothing north of the railway could be discussed. But that’s where the parking is for all the local amenities – parks, seawall, Ferry Building. How can you discuss major alterations to Ambleside without discussing parking?

The waterfront from Ambleside to Dundarave and beyond is enjoyed by thousands of mainly local people from tiny tots in strollers to oldsters with walkers year-round, walking, running, yes biking, picnicking, enjoying family reunions, hanging out. The accessibility makes all these activities possible.

How many of the cyclists are local taxpayers, I wonder?

It is a false choice to select Spirit Trail or the much loved present and accessible amenities. I am not against a biking trail, but the loss of what we have seems too great a price to pay.

The waterfront is a precious resource, and it does not need improvement – don’t spoil it.

Refugees not adequately supported by federal funds Dear Editor: Our planet is facing its most horrific migrant crisis in history.

It is morally indefensible for any nation not to assist in the repatriation of the millions of immigrants and refugees who are now homeless and destitute.

Canada is doing its part in their assimilation.

It is clearly evident that a migrant (or any newcomer) to Canada must have access to a tool that Immigration Minister John McCallum describes as “fundamental to successful immigration:” proficiency in the English language.

Without this tool, an immigrant becomes a second-class citizen, incapable of basic communication, unable to function in his new society, without any hope of becoming employed and ultimately without hope of becoming a Canadian citizen.

Vancouver Community College president Karen Shortt has recently informed a parliamentary committee hearing of the drastic federal funding cuts which have resulted in VCC having to cancel classes for 220 immigrants and refugees. The New Democratic Party MP for Vancouver East Jenny Kwan has repeatedly

complained of reduced federal funding.

The media has done an admirable job of keeping us appraised of the totally inadequate financial support and the consequent frustration of many immigrants.

Our federal government is seemingly oblivious to the horrendous predicament of our despairing refugees. Here is an opportunity for Mr. Trudeau not only to rectify a glaring government omission but also to revive national pride and solidify Canada’s reputation as a caring nation.

BRIGHTLIGHTS! by Paul McGrath Waterfront Gala The second annual North Shore Waterfront Gala benefitting the Learning Disabilities Association of Vancouver (North Shore) and North Shore Neighbourhood House, took place at the Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier on the evening of May 19. The event, sponsored by many of the waterfront companies that do business in the port, such as Cargill, Neptune Terminals, Kinder Morgan, Western Stevedoring, Fibreco and Richardson along with the Port of Vancouver, was a sold-out success featuring a champagne reception and three-course dinner and silent auction. The Learning Disabilities Association helps to make a difference for students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities, and North Shore Neighbourhood House supports the North Vancouver community with a wide variety of programs and services for the young and old.

Lonsdale

Pier dinner serves food with a view

Second annual event will host 300 al fresco ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com

How does this idea sound to you: a gourmet longtable dinner on Lonsdale Pier with drinks flowing and hundreds of friends both new and old at your side?

When that very idea popped into the head of North Vancouver’s Alex Troll last summer, she reckoned that people would like it. A lot.

Troll, co-founder of Lower Lonsdale-based The Juicery Co., brought on graphic designer Adriana Koc-Spadaro to help turn the idea into a reality, and six weeks later the pair were welcoming 150 guests to the first ever Dinner on the Pier.

“It was amazing,” Troll says of the dinner which featured food and drink sourced and prepared by local businesses. The biggest problem they had was getting people to leave the pier when the dinner officially ended at 10 p.m.

“It was so beautiful that they didn’t want to go,” she says. “Nobody wanted to leave. We had to kind of get people off of the pier. … We walked everyone off.”

It was such a hit that they’re doing it again this year and they’ve doubled down, turning it into a dinner for 300.

Luckily for them they don’t have to throw it all together in six weeks this time around.

The 2016 Dinner on the Pier is scheduled for Aug. 4.

“We did it on the fly,” Troll says of last year’s event. “It was like planning a wedding in six weeks. … We get to do it a bit bigger this year.”

The inspiration for the dinner came from long-table events that Troll attended in Vancouver such as Diner en Blanc and the Araxi Longtable Dinner Series.

“I just felt like there wasn’t anything like that on the North Shore,” says Troll. “I literally was walking down by the pier and I said ‘why

Organizers Adriana Koc-Spadaro and Alex Troll can barely contain their glee during last year’s Dinner on the Pier event that hosted 150 guests on the Lonsdale Pier. The tables are even longer this year as organizers are doubling down, hosting 300 at the second annual meal Aug. 4. PHOTOS SUPPLIED MATT BOURNE doesn’t anyone do a dinner down here,’ not thinking I was actually going to do it. But then I talked to the mayor and he was like, ‘Yeah, we should do it.’ And then it just kind of happened.”

There are obvious challenges associated with planning a massive outdoor dinner on a long narrow concrete strip jutting out into Burrard Inlet. Rain, for one.

“There is a Plan B,” said Troll, adding that if the weather is nasty the dinner will be held inside the Pipe Shop, the same location

where cocktails will be served before the meal. “It’s beautiful too. But outside is just so nice.”

There are other concerns as well, including attacks from the sky.

“That’s one of the things I was so scared of – birds s--ting on the table!” Troll says with a laugh. “But not once did it happen. I’m going to knock on wood for this year.”

Even if a seagull steals a breadstick or a gust of wind blows off someone’s fancy hat, it’s all part of the adventure of an event like this,

says Troll. Guests know what they’re signing up for.

“You’re outside, but that’s kind of what makes it fun,” she says. “It’s things to talk about. … It just gives people conversation starters, and that’s what’s so nice about it.”

This year’s event will again feature the culinary creations of Joel Green, executive chef at the Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier. Several other North Shore businesses are on board as well, including Deep Cove Brewers and Distillers, which will be supplying the beer and spirits for the night.

Partial proceeds from the event, as well as all of the money raised at an auction held on the evening, will be donated to Growing Chefs, a Vancouver-based charity that runs programs with elementary schools to help students grow their own vegetables and learn about food from local chefs.

As the co-founder of a juice company, veggies and healthy eating are close to Troll’s heart.

“I just like the idea of kids learning that food doesn’t come from a grocery store,”

she says. “Someone grows it.”

The long-term plan is to hold a dinner every year, capped at 300 guests.

“As the Lower Lonsdale community keeps growing, I think it’s something exciting to look forward to every year,” says Troll. “We just wanted to bring the community together. We just wanted to have people meeting people over good food, and support Growing Chefs.”

Tickets, $160, will go on sale any day now. To sign up for ticket updates visit dinneronthepier.com.

! Second Annual Benefit for the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, presented by Elevator Music and Promotions, Thursday, June 23 at Vancouver’s Studio Records. Featured bands include Anything But, Saints and Sinners and The Killing Floor Blues Band. Doors: 8 p.m. Tickets: $15.

ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com

North Vancouver’s Ben Abel and wife Lindsay Davidson’s daughter Charlotte spent the first two months of her life in the Royal Columbian Hospital neonatal intensive care unit after being born prematurely in March 2013.

Having a smooth pregnancy, it was during a routine 30-week check-up that Davidson’s doctor realized something was wrong, eventually leading to a diagnosis of preeclampsia and an emergency caesarean section at Royal Columbian, a high-risk maternity centre.

Baby Charlotte was born at 31 weeks and five days, weighing two pounds, eight ounces.

Grateful for the care their daughter received, the Upper

Lonsdale couple is pleased to report Charlotte is now three years old and doing well.

“She’s really thriving and really healthy and happy and enjoying daycare and learning how to swim and doing all those types of things. Things are working out really well for us now. It was a stressful time at the time of the birth, but things have really turned themselves around,” says Abel.

Interested in giving back, the family is presenting an upcoming benefit concert for the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation in support of premature newborns and their families.

According to the foundation, the New Westminster hospital provides specialized care for cardiac services, trauma, neurosciences, high risk maternity and neonatal intensive care for some of the most seriously ill and injured people from across the province.

“The idea now is to try to give back to the foundation and generate awareness on multiple levels. One, about what happens in these situations when you have premature children and also to make people aware of the things and types of support

This is the second benefit Abel has organized and last year’s inaugural edition raised more $800 for the foundation.

“I think it’s really important to give back and recognize what the hospital did for us and our daughter,” he says.

The circumstances surrounding Charlotte’s birth were traumatic for their family, and so organizing the annual event is helping him to heal.

“It gets easier every year to do it and it gets easier to come back and look at those memories and those experiences and realize and understand why what happened, happened,” he says.

When asked if Charlotte is

following in her father’s footsteps and displaying some signs of an aptitude for music, Abel says most definitely yes.

“She kind of doesn’t have a choice. My wife and I are both into music, we’re both creative people. She clearly

Debunking popular fitness myths

Fitness info is spouted everywhere: on blogs, in magazines and even as part of new gym memberships.

But have you ever wondered whether some exercise “facts” are actually falsities?

Find out now as I debunk five common fitness myths.

! No pain, no gain

Pain is not required for a successful workout. A little “good” pain is to be expected, especially at first, but it shouldn’t limit your ability to perform everyday tasks.

If you find yourself unable to walk or to sit down after exercise, you probably went overboard and should re-examine your routine.

Of course, you may experience some minor muscle pain if you are new to exercise or if you try a novel workout. But don’t ignore one-sided pain, as this may be a sign of injury or poor technique.

Just remember: start slowly to avoid injuring yourself.

! Muscle turns to fat

when you stop working out This old myth is like turning gold into brass. The reality is that you actually lose muscle size when you stop exercising. And your metabolism will also start to slow down, which then

Personal Best Shaun Karp increases fatigue and contributes to weight gain.

If you stop exercising and keep eating the same amount, you are likely to gain weight. But not the good kind!

! I’m too old to start exercising No one is too old to start working out.

Indeed, it becomes even more important to stay active as you age. This is because exercise plays a significant role in preventing age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Plus, it will improve your balance and reduce your risk of falling.

If you are concerned about pain, remember that the pool is always an option. ! Pregnant women can’t work out This couldn’t be further from the truth.

In fact, exercise usually makes for better

pregnancies. Not only does it improve comfort, it may even lead to a shorter and less complicated labour.

If you are a pregnant woman wanting to work on your abs, you should be able to do so up until your third trimester as long as you remain upright.

It also helps to have a heart rate monitor so you can stay in tune with how hard you are working.

Many doctors suggest keeping your heart rate below 140 beats per minute when exercising while pregnant.

The most important thing is to listen to your body.

! Runners don’t need weight training Running is great for burning calories, but it doesn’t provide everything that a healthy body needs.

To round out your running routine, you should also add some strength training.

Why? For one thing, building muscle speeds metabolism so you burn more calories when at rest.

Plus, strengthening can correct any muscle imbalances you may have and increase bone density to decrease the risk of stress fractures.

Integrity, Courtesy and Self-Discipline for Life!

Master John Yoo, owner of Elite Olympic Martial Arts, believes that when a person has built-in integrity and has learned the qualities of humility, courtesy and self-discipline that are the essence of martial arts, they have everything they need to go through life handling adversity – and themselves – with confidence and modest pride.

The lessons he and his highly-trained teachers offer in the EOMA studio at 840-842 West 15th Street in North Vancouver go far beyond the physical; they have a positive effect on most aspects of a student’s life. In brief, students are encouraged to take the right path at an early age as they learn skills that will last a lifetime.

This year, in addition to its regular programs, EOMA will be holding four Summer Camps: July 11-15 ages 5 - 8 July 18-22 ages 8 & over August 15-19 ages 5 - 8 August 22-26 ages 8 & over that will run Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. Each will offer instruction in two separate age groups: 5-7/8 and 8-9 and over.

final day will cover street self-defence techniques and anti-bullying.

While these camps are for younger students, Martial Arts instruction is by no means only for children and youth. As Master Yoo says,“The skills we teach at EOMA benefit everyone in the family – from children all the way to adults in their senior years.”

So whether a given situation involves a bullying physical affront or a tough social confrontation, the selfconfidence and character developed during Elite Olympic Martial Arts instruction can be drawn on forever.

“Sometimes a move might look aggressive but in reality it is a controlled, skilled assertiveness that enables a person to handle most situations without resorting to violence,”Yoo explained.

Judo is called the gentle art and is an enjoyable and practical form of selfdefence. Taekwondo develops focus, flexibility and co-ordination, while wrestling helps develop the whole body and offers a more intense workout for serious athletes.

West Van woman has royal connection Yesterday, June 18, Jean Hubbard’s family and friends gathered in West Vancouver to celebrate her life and to welcome her into her 91st year.

One week earlier, on June 12, far away across the ocean, another woman celebrated her 90 years. She too was surrounded by family and friends, gathered from far and wide to wish her well.

These were the official, public birthday celebrations

of Jean Hubbard and Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen’s actual birthday is April 21, and Jean’s is May 10, one born in London, England, and the other in Canora, Sask., both in 1926.

“The Queen and I grew up together,” says Jean. “The little princesses were the thing among us girls, growing up.

Of course, Elizabeth was my favourite as she was my age and I could relate.”

The connection with royalty continued, as Jean describes in this excerpt from her memoir, D.J.B. and Me: “When the King and Queen came to Canada in 1939, we went to Brandon on a school trip to greet them at the train station.

“My father, D.J. Brims, was one of two RCMP honour guards assigned to the train’s observation platform where the King and Queen would stand.

“The Queen stopped to speak to my dad and then we could see her laugh. She turned to the King and said something, and he laughed as they mounted the train steps.

“Next morning we asked dad what the Queen had said to him. He replied that the Queen had noticed his Scottish accent (no doubt a little heavier than usual) and asked where he was from.

When he replied, ‘Your own backdoor, Your Majesty – Broughty Ferry, Scotland,’ she had turned to the King and repeated what dad had said, and they both laughed. Dad said that he wasn’t ever going

Jean’s elder sisters, Mary and Gladys, were nurses and Jean was working for the Hudson’s Bay Company when the Second World War broke out. Gladys joined the Canadian Women’s Army Corps and in 1944, her little sister enlisted in the CWAC too.

Jean’s first day in the Canadian Army was May 10, 1944, her 18th birthday.

Memoir preserves family history

On June 24, I’m inviting everyone over.

From page 18 Service of the British Army in February 1945.

Excited to be a soldier, Jean remembers, she was also apprehensive about what might lay ahead. In fact, the army led Jean into a new life.

On the train to Kitchener for basic training, a coach full of soldiers lay between the CWAC recruits and the dining car. A soldier brought out a harmonica, another a guitar, a newly fledged CWAC produced an accordion.

During the ensuing merriment over the three-day journey, Private Brims met Private Tom Hubbard, who was en route to Camp Borden for tank training.

Jean and Tom reunited in 1946 and moved to Vancouver.

Tom lived at Fort Camp, UBC, while he studied forestry and Jean was downtown at the YWCA, working in the office at Birks. Married in 1947, they set up house at the old Hotel Vancouver, converted into a hostel for service personnel.

The family lived in Chilliwack and Nelson until 1969 when they settled permanently in West Vancouver where, sadly, Tom died the following year. Jean began working for the government, where she met John Cooper who became her life companion until he too passed away, in 2005.

loss we experience is a lifelong process. For those who live each day as though it is a gift, like Jean Brims Hubbard, and, we imagine, Queen Elizabeth II, the rewards that memory brings are great.

Queen Elizabeth’s story, and that of her family, past and present, is well documented. Jean has recorded her own story as a legacy for her family. The self-published history, written when Jean

was 84, follows from the life story her father D.J. Brims wrote, at her request, before she married. “This family story has been a labour of love and an adventure in living my life over as I retraced my steps. It is the greatest gift I can give my family.”

Teaching off-leash trail etiquette

Over the last few weeks I have been discussing the steps involved in taking responsibility for your dog while training it for off-leash freedom when it is appropriate.

I have been teaching responsibility when choosing to allow a dog off leash instead of advocating off-leash freedom for all. I will continue with training advice to have a reliable dog off leash and be a responsible dog owner while hiking on designated off-leash trails with your dog.

Making the choice to allow a dog off leash depends not only on the local bylaws but also the personal responsibility of the owner to ensure that the dog is reliable enough that it will not negatively impact the enjoyment of other trail or park users.

A reliable off-leash dog comes from diligent training rather than a particular age or breed of dog. The training steps I have offered over the

Canine Connection Joan Klucha last few weeks are just a few training scenarios to keep your dog involved with you and focused on you while walking on trails or through parks. This week I’ll start to put the pieces of the training puzzle together to improve not only the reliability and focus of a dog while on a hike but also the responsibility of the dog owner.

Having built a solid training foundation by teaching and utilizing basic obedience

commands such as sit/stay, down/stay, wait, heel and recall (come) to your dog, and having practised these commands both on and off leash, it is now time to implement them along a trail hike. I like to start all of my off-leash training hikes on-leash with the idea of teaching proper trail etiquette to dogs.

When I approach a trail with a dog, I don’t let them run amuck off leash but rather I walk them for a period of time on-leash. This helps keep their minds focused on me and curbs the enthusiasm a dog can get when it is let off leash.

Teaching a dog focus and self-control from the start of the walk sets the tone for the remainder of the walk.

When I see that the dogs are focused, calm and respectful on-leash I ask them to sit/stay while I unclip their leashes. From the sit/stay position they are asked to go into heel, which means to walk at my side and stay

focused. When I see that they are doing this to my liking I calmly issue their “break” command while in heel, which they know means they are now free to walk ahead of me.

I try not to make a big deal of their freedom to minimize over-enthusiasm, which can lead to a loss of focus. Every time the dogs get close to the 15-foot distance, I recall them and praise them. Having a really great food reward will do wonders at reinforcing the recall command.

When I see someone approaching with or without a dog, I recall the dogs, leash them and ask them to heel as we walk by the person. This lets the approaching person know that I am in control of the dog and there is nothing to fear, and if they have a dog I hope it encourages them to call and leash their dog to prevent an unwanted altercation.

Whenever I see a person on a bike, I call the dogs, leash them and ask them to sit/

stay at the side of the trail to prevent the potential injury to the dog and/or the biker if the dog darts in front of the biker or the biker loses balance near the dogs. These things can happen and it is safer to teach a dog respectful bike/ trail manners than deal with an unfortunate situation.

Whenever I come to a bend in the trail where I cannot see farther than 15 feet I call the dogs. This prevents an

a

unwanted surprise to anyone around the blind side of the trail. From time to time along the hike, I leash the dogs to reinforce their focus and remind them that walking off leash is a privilege that they have to earn. By implementing these off-leash training drills you are practising respectful trail etiquette and setting a good example for other dog owners to follow. k9kinship@gmail.com

A hat trick of B.C. championships

Collingwood’s Brendan Artley wins gold in basketball, tennis and track and field ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com

Collingwood Grade 12 student Brendan Artley may need to procure some extra space for his grad book write up following the high school sports season he just completed.

Artley claimed three provincial gold medals this season, first helping the Cavaliers win the first senior boys AA basketball title in school history before claiming a tennis team title and track and field javelin win on back-to-back weekends.

“I’ve always loved sports, since I was young,” Artley told the North Shore News in trying to explain his hat trick season.

“I’ve been taught by various coaches to try hard. That’s the main thing that I focus on, putting in my best effort. That’s helped me get better.”

On top of being an elite athlete, Artley is also a coach’s dream, said Collingwood athletic director Dave Speirs.

“The most impressive thing about Brendan is his humility,” said Speirs. “What a great kid. Every coach raves about him here at Collingwood.”

Artley was born in England and moved to Canada with his family in Grade 2 and has been at Collingwood ever since. He actually starred in a fourth sport this year

as well, his English roots showing as he was co-captain and co-MVP of the Collingwood soccer team.

The Cavs fell short of provincials on the soccer pitch but claimed a historic win on the basketball court, with Artley on board as a starting forward.

“I didn’t have much talent, I just kind of tried really hard which was why they put me on, I guess,” he said. A high school growth spurt pushed Artley to his current height of six-foot-three, which combined with his athleticism made him an intimidating presence for the Cavaliers on defence.

He also had another roll on the team: hype man. During warmups Artley could be counted on to throw down some ferocious dunks – his repertoire included a full 360 spin – to fire up his teammates and the crowd.

The Cavaliers claimed the title with a dominant 68-40 win over St. Michaels University School. “It was kind of like surreal,” Artley said about winning the championship game. “It hadn’t really hit me until like a week later when we were organizing with the team – we were going to get rings. That’s when it hit me. It was crazy.

It’s still surreal in my mind.”

Out of the three provincial titles he

Multi-sport star lands NCAA javelin scholarship

From page 22

claimed this season, the basketball championship is the one that stands out the most for him, Artley said.

“It was the most difficult, and it was a team thing. All the guys are like insanely good friends – we’ll probably be friends for life.”

The last two titles were tricky as tennis and track and field ran concurrently during the spring season. Twice a week Artley would play tennis matches at around 2:30 p.m. before heading off to track and field at 5 p.m. The results never suffered though – Artley and partner Liam Huebner went undefeated all season in boys doubles.

Talking about tennis, Artley again was quick to give praise to his teammates over himself.

“Creds to Liam – he’s the talent on the team,” he said.

“He was consistent, all game, every game. He was the backbone of the team.”

The game plan was always to get the springy Artley to the net as quickly as possible to put up a wall in front with Huebner behind to run the show from the baseline.

“When I’m at the net, even if it’s going out I’ll just hit it back,” said Artley with a laugh.

“When I was serving I would just serve, then run to the net and just smack it.

That was basically the game plan.”

Track and field season finally let Artley shine in his main game: javelin. At the North Shore championships he set a personal best and smashed a 35-year-old North

Shore record with a throw of 64.66 metres.

“I knew it was a big throw as soon as it left my hand,” said Artley. “I was pretty pumped about that. It kept going further and further.”

Conditions weren’t great at the provincial championships held June 2-4 in Nanaimo but Artley still launched a throw that beat his nearest competitor by more than 10 metres.

His throwing has rocketed to new levels since he started working with fellow North Shore javelin ace Andy White, an Argyle and UBC grad who competed in the 2015 Summer Universiade.

“It’s such a technical event,” Artley said about the javelin coaching he’s received from White. “It’s so much different than a baseball throw – he’s trying to hammer that into me. He’s got so many small things which you don’t think would matter, but it really helps out.”

Artley’s javelin prowess has landed him a scholarship to NCAA Div. 1 school North Dakota State. He’ll start there in the fall, with hopes of growing into a world-class thrower.

“I’ve always wanted to go to the Olympics,” he said. “I hope that’s an option for me in the future. I just want to

Zone 2 Zone 3

keep throwing as far as I can.”

He’ll get an early chance to test himself against some of the world’s best at the Harry Jerome Track Classic taking place June 17 at Swangard Stadium. After he’s done throwing Artley said he’ll stick around and watch some of the sport’s greatest athletes compete, including Canadian sprinter Andre De Grasse who burst onto the scene last year with double gold in the 100- and 200-m sprints at the Pan Am Games and 100 m bronze at the world championship.

“I might just like, walk by him and be in the presence,” said Artley with a laugh. “I might not say anything, but it’s going to be cool to be there.” !!!

Here are the other North Shore medallists at the senior track and field championships: Silver: Michelle Cheung, Sentinel, girls 1,500-m race walk Bronze: Spencer Pratt, Sentinel, boys 400-m hurdles; and Ges Bushe, West Van, 100 m para-athlete.
