The Polygon Gallery, located on a prime piece of North Vancouver waterfront beside Lonsdale Quay, is currently under construction, set to open its doors next fall. The shiny new building – literally shiny, given the planned exterior finish of crumpled and unfolded reflective metal – will be the new home of Presentation House Gallery, the largest non-profit photography gallery in the country.

Location makes new gallery an instant icon From page 5

Peter Wood from Ridge Sheet Metal maps out the duct work that will keep things fresh inside the new gallery.

“I was totally thrilled,” said Goodman about getting a sneak peek at the bare bones of the gallery. “It’s so much fun to get in there and see it midway through. When we finally go to photograph the opening and see it when it’s up and running, it’s going to be spectacular.”

The old Presentation House Gallery, housed in a school house built in 1902, was a hidden gem for photo junkies like Goodman, whose career as a pro shooter started

basically the day she left high school. She took a job with the BC Pavilion at Expo 86, releasing a book of photos that same year featuring shots from around Vancouver taken in the year leading up to Expo.

Goodman, a lifelong North Shore resident, is happy to see that the gallery will be hidden no more, moving to a location that will be impossible to miss.

“I think it’s ideal,” she said of the new location and design. “It’s really that modern, modular current architecture that we’re seeing in homes and in buildings. …

I think it’ll be fantastic. I think it’ll be a really nice draw for lots of people.”

The old gallery hosted some of the most famous photographers in the world, including iconic figures such as Richard Avedon, Diane Arbus, and Weegee.

Gallery staff are being tight-lipped as to what will be included in the first exhibition when the new building opens. Goodman, who has won numerous provincial and national awards shooting for the News, laughed when asked if some of her work could

grace the new gallery’s walls.

“I’d have to dig really deep to be one of those people – that would be miraculous,” she said, adding that the only way she might make it in is if she died while shooting. “It would have to be some spectacular death so people would feel sorry for me.”

We beg to differ, but you can judge for yourself by checking out Goodman’s full photo gallery of a photo gallery online at nsnews.com.

The new Presentation House Gallery is scheduled to open in September, 2017.

Thief drives off with midwife’s car, supplies Equipment used in home births was stored in vehicle trunk

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A local midwife is appealing for the return of her car containing medical supplies she uses to attend births after it was stolen from a staff parking lot at Lions Gate Hospital this week.

Vera Berard, one of seven midwives who have hospital privileges at Lions Gate, said she had attended two backto-back labours and births at the hospital when she came out of the building at 2:30 a.m. Oct. 24 and found her car was gone.

Berard said she’d parked her car in a parking lot reserved for on-call hospital staff near the main entrance.

But when she went to drive home “my car wasn’t where I parked it,” she said.

Wondering if she was simply suffering the effects of sleep deprivation and wasn’t remembering where she’d left her car, Berard said she walked all around the hospital before calling security staff to help her look.

Both searches yielded nothing.

That’s when she realized the Toyota Corolla – and the midwifery supplies for home births she had stored in her trunk – were gone.

Berard is quick to point out those supplies don’t contain any drugs. “Midwives

do not carry narcotics or painkilling drugs,” she said.

But her kit – packed in a couple of backpack-style cases – did contain equipment used when she’s called out to home births in the middle of the night.

That includes instruments to help deliver babies, equipment to help get babies breathing, and to check on blood pressure and oxygen levels, as well as items to help labouring women, such as a custom-made cushion.

The trunk of her car also contained some new supplies that were to be stored at the hospital for use by all midwives who work out of Lions Gate.

Berard estimates the cost of replacing those supplies at over $6,000. But to most people, she adds, they would be worthless.

“It’s only valuable for the women and the babies we have to take care of,” said Berard. “If people take our stuff we can’t really do our jobs very well.”

Since her car was stolen, Berard said she’s been helped out by midwifery colleagues. “I’m borrowing a home birth kit from a midwife who is off on sick leave,” she said. Lions Gate has also helped her replace some items and she’s renting a car.

“On a scale of suckiness it’s very annoying and

frustrating and inconvenient but it’s not a disaster.”

She’s still hoping her own car – a 2000 burgundy Toyota Corolla – will be found with her equipment in it.

Carrie Stefanson, spokeswoman for Vancouver Coastal Health, said it’s “highly unusual for a vehicle to be stolen from the parking lot.”

Reform school

T

here’s some worry among the pundit class that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may be walking away from his promise to make the 2015 election the last one decided by the firstpast-the-post electoral system.

His new government’s popularity means, perhaps, Canadians have lost their appetite to change the system that put him in power, he intimated in an interview.

Yet six in 10 Canadians, according to a recent poll by EKOS, want the prime minister to keep his promise. Perhaps contradictory, a Forum Research poll found first past the post was the most popular system, given a choice.

If those two things don’t compute for you, don’t feel bad. Apparently a great many of us are out of sorts when it comes to electoral reform. That same survey

found only 40 per cent of people could correctly name the type of system we’re using.

It would be the ultimate in arrogance and elitism to suggest the topic of electoral reform is too complex for the average Canadian voter – but Churchill famously noted the best argument against democracy was a five-minute conversation with the average voter. It’s partly why putting the change to a referendum is probably a bad idea.

Ultimately, Trudeau should follow through on his campaign promise.

No matter what system we use, there are a few immutable truths that will remain: parties will cynically strategize to woo blocks of voters, politicians will still make grandiose promises, and newly elected governments will find reasons to bait and switch, just like this one may be attempting to do now.

A hard truth, and hope for reconciliation

Y

ou may have noticed that in this space I talk about my children a lot.

One of my favourite running gags is to mention some fool thing I’ve considered doing – say, for example, making my children sleep under the steps in a cardboard box – and then talking about having a pleasant chat with social services the next day.

To be clear though, I’ve never actually considered making my kids sleep outside in a box, and I’ve never worried about the government coming to my home and taking my children away.

Why would I worry? We’re just a typical Canadian family, living our lives and trying to get by.

For generations of Canadians, however, having

Laugh All You Want Andy Prest their children taken away wasn’t just a threat, it was a certainty. The fact that I have two boys of my own is why the heartbreaking story of Chanie Wenjack hit me very hard. At the root of the story is a horrible truth about our country that eats away at the core of who we are: for more than 100 years, the residential school system sponsored

CONTACTUS

by the Canadian government quite literally stole away the children from First Nations families. The opening paragraph of the 2015 report from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission bluntly describes the residential school program – established in 1880 to assimilate Aboriginal people and eliminate their own distinct legal, social, cultural, religious and racial identities – as “cultural genocide.”

I grew up in Central Alberta surrounded by a lot of white people, some in positions of power, who held deeply racist views about First Nations people. The stories were all bad. Looking back, there weren’t many people there to explain the other side of the story … the part where we stole their children. Seeing those words, as a parent, is devastating:

We stole their children.

What more heinous act could there be than to take the children away from an entire population and abuse them, teaching them to hate their parents, their culture, themselves?

Chanie Wenjack was one of those children. He was taken from his father by armed officials and sent to a residential school hundreds of kilometres away. In 1966 Wenjack, at age 12, died while trying to walk back home, driven by a desire to escape the horrors of his school and to see his family and dogs again. He was found beside a railway line, frozen.

The story eventually caused a stir in Canada when an article in Maclean’s magazine poignantly described Wenjack’s plight and the aftermath, including

an inquest that posed what was, at the time, an unprecedented question about the residential school system: “Is it right?”

The answer, an obvious one now, was no. It was not right. Yet residential schools existed for another generation, the last one closing in 1996.

Of course, Wenjack was not the only one to face that fate – thousands of children died under the state’s watch, and countless more were abused. The schools may be closed, yet the rift continues today.

The fierce Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, British Columbia’s first representative for children and youth, just finished up her last week on the job, and in exit interviews revealed that her biggest disappointment during 10 years of service

was that she couldn’t get the government to do more to get Aboriginal children out of state care. Globe and Mail health columnist André Picard recently noted a shocking statistic: “there are more indigenous children in state care today (some 15,000) than there were in residential schools at their peak.”

All that is to say the story of Chanie Wenjack is as powerful and important today as it was 50 years ago.

It’s little wonder that works of art commemorating his death – including Joseph Boyden’s novella Wenjack, and the Gord Downie-driven album, graphic novel, and CBC television special Secret Path – are generating such a huge public response.

Dear Editor: On Thursday, Oct. 20, two days after my birthday, I was lookin’ good! Black trench coat, new camo tights and infinity scarf.

Rainy day though.

Hurrying down hilly Chesterfield near Fourth Street, slippery leaves on a slick sidewalk.

It was my day to get my granddaughter for a two-day sleepover but her Daddy had been admitted to Langley hospital so I planned to meet them there.

I should not have stopped to check my watch as I hurried to the SeaBus. At least not with the heavy backpack of treats, umbrellas and

goodies. The weight of it prevented catching my balance and the worn heel of my much-loved 17-year-old Docs gave way to a crunching fall.

“No, no, no, no!”

I knew this feeling.

My elbow was broken.

Completely smashed, the surgeon later said.

I couldn’t get up. As I cradled my shattered arm and looked around for a way to access my phone and call an ambulance, two lovely ladies in a hot red car pulled up and asked if I needed a hand. An old car. Looked to be pre-Fiberglas bodies.

And shiny! Probably in mint condition. Wish I’d had my wits more about me as I’d

like to know what kind of car it was.

The ladies were treasures too. Trim figures, grey hair, unassuming amount of bling on sweaters. They helped me up and took me to Lions Gate emergency.

The only thanks they would accept is knowing I would be taken care of. I want them to know I was.

Surgery was performed on Saturday by an elbow specialist. I now have plates and pins where perfect bones used to be.

Home now, thank-you again, lovely ladies in the hot red car.

Bella Bella diesel spill disaster a warning for us all Dear Editor: I am writing you today about the Bella Bella tugboat incident because we on the North Shore could face a much larger problem if Kinder Morgan gets approval to double its pipeline.

My first point is that it will be diluted bitumen (dilbit), not diesel, that will be in the large number of tankers leaving from east of the

Second Narrows. It has been proven that dilbit does not float but sinks to the bottom. Any recovery by the oil industry owned company, who will actually profit for trying, is next to nil.

A tanker going through the Second Narrows under the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge with a full load is very tricky as it has to go out only at high tide. It has been reported that there

is only about 1.5 metres of water under them at that tide.

To top this off, the tugboats in the harbour now only have two crewmen aboard from the three that used to be mandated.

Therefore, the Kinder Morgan expansion should not be approved by any regulatory body.

CMHC reverses rifle range trail ban

Hikers on path network no longer considered trespassers

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation is walking back its controversial decision to ban hikers, mountain bikers and dog-walkers from the hundreds of kilometres of trails on its lands at the former Blair Rifle Range.

CMHC announced the decision Friday afternoon, after first putting up No Trespassing signs at trailheads around the 644-acre plot of land off Mount Seymour Parkway in midOctober over concerns about

legal liability.

That resulted in blowback and lobbying from trail user groups, the District of North Vancouver, North Vancouver-Seymour MLA Jane Thornthwaite, and MPs Terry Beech and Jonathan Wilkinson.

“As a result of the meetings, and information brought forward by interested parties, CMHC and the province are prepared, as co-owners, to permit reasonable and responsible recreational use of the property,” stated a release from CMHC. Liability, however, remains

a concern.

“Users are reminded that persons entering this land do so entirely at their own risk, and that the owners are not responsible for any damage or loss to property, or personal injury,” the statement continued. “Going forward, CMHC will work closely with the province to consider the management of appropriate recreational usages of the property.”

District Coun. Mathew Bond, who pursued the matter on behalf of council, welcomed the update.

“Everyone in the community came together and expressed their concerns and their needs ... and it sounds like they heard what the

community had to say, so it’s great news,” he said.

Bond said he plans to continue working on the file to ensure long-term access.

“I think there are other ways than a prohibition of access to the property to address (liability),” he said. “I look forward to further meetings with them to talk about long-term management and other considerations.”

Support for the reversal poured in on North Shore Mountain Bike Association’s social media pages.

“It’s positive,” said Rachid Nayel, vice-president of the NSMBA. “Access was the most significant concern for majority of the community.”

Nayel said he is eager to

learn how the trails can be maintained under the current tentative agreement.

Risk quite literally comes with the territory, Nayel added.

“Outdoor recreation can be dangerous. People have to understand and assume the risks associated with it before they go to enjoy our shared resource,” he said.

Beech too greeted the apparent change in direction.

“I’m absolutely relieved.

I’m just happy that all parties involved, including the province, the district and the groups that regularly use those trails, were quick to act so that we were able get what is a relatively fast conclusion,” he said.

NDP nominates Ma for North Vancouver-Lonsdale BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

2017 provincial election ballots are beginning to take shape on the North Shore, with the NDP nominating its candidate for North Vancouver-Lonsdale.

Bowinn Ma, a professional engineer, has been nominated by the NDP to challenge

Liberal MLA Naomi Yamamoto for the seat.

Ma said she was prompted to run after seeing the level of poverty in B.C. “It really broke my heart,” she said. “I see a failure in our inability to support our public education system as part of what contributes to the poverty issue.”

Ma said she can apply her skills as an engineer and

project manager to crafting policy.

“I really despise waste – the kind of waste that comes from shortsighted decisions and bad projects – waste of money, waste of time, waste of human potential,” she said. “It upset me so much to see all of these shortsighted policies coming out of the BC Liberal government. ... Eventually it just got to the point where I realized if

I felt this strongly about these issues, then I should probably be willing to put myself in a position where I have an opportunity to actually change them.”

Ma said she will campaign on improving public education, housing affordability, transportation problems (especially those on the North Shore) and a greater sense of urgency in reducing climate change.

In this column we have always stressed the importance of taking your medication as ordered by your doctor. Many hospital admissions are the result of not taking medications properly… missed doses, doubling up on doses and just not taking the medication due to side effects. Your medications should be reviewed at least once each year. Talk to your doctor. Our pharmacists can help, too.

Take the team approach with medications.

Medications work best when you, your physician and your pharmacist work together. We’d be happy to be on your team!

BRIGHTLIGHTS! by Paul McGrath Pub Night Fundraiser The Canadian Mental Health Association North and West Vancouver branch and KidSport North Shore partnered up for a fundraising event at North Vancouver’s Narrows Pub on the night of Oct. 6 that attracted more than 120 guests. Former World Cup and Olympic downhill skier Steve Podborski was on hand as event MC. Guests were encouraged to bid on silent and live auction items, and purchase raffle tickets, and listened to presentations from guest speakers in addition to ending the night with music and dancing. Proceeds will support the CMHA’s STEPS program, which supports teens dealing with anxiety and depression by enabling them to engage in regular physical activity to improve their mental health, and KidSport, which was created to help remove financial barriers preventing children from participating in organized sports.

Intrepid photographer calls online arena home Social media ‘influencer’ has roots in Blueridge ROSALIND DUANE rduane@nsnews.com

The key to building a large social media audience is quality and consistency.

So says Rishad Daroowala, and he should know.

The Blueridge native currently has 141,000 Instagram followers and has combined his marketing and social media skills with his passion for photography to create a niche career.

Wander, which he describes as “a social influencer advertising agency,” Daroowala is both a professional photographer and an agent, who pairs clients with other social influencers.

Daroowala’s business degree, marketing background, and his passion for

photography all helped him adapt to social media’s growing importance in marketing.

“I find that if you put your heart into it you will be rewarded over time,” he says of the work.

Striking a pose while writing prose Parkgate library program combines a love of literature and limberness

ROSALIND DUANE rduane@nsnews.com

“I remember.” It’s a short and simple sentence, but sometimes it’s enough to trigger memories and inspire ideas.

That’s the idea behind Postures and Prompts, a unique program held once a month at Parkgate library.

Each session starts with 45 minutes of yoga led by certified instructor Andrea Winterbottom.

The yoga, suitable for all levels, is then followed by a writing session, also led by Winterbottom, who is a North Shore Writers Association executive member, published author, and short-listed nonfiction finalist for the B.C. Federation of Writers.

Winterbottom explains that she noticed her own inspiration and creativity seemed to flow especially after she practised yoga, so decided to combine the two.

“I just feel that the combination of yoga and writing

really benefits your mental well-being,” she notes, adding she thinks doing yoga first helps release creativity.

Each yoga class contains a theme related to yoga chakras, such as trust, intuition or confidence, that Winterbottom discusses during class then extends into a 10-minute free write, followed by an open group discussion.

“Sometimes the theme shows up in some form or another in the writing,” she says.

Winterbottom also uses phrases or other prompts to inspire creativity, such as “I remember,” or she asks participants to write about the first toy they had or describe a tree that was near their childhood home.

Participants are encouraged to share their writing and ideas with the group, but no one is forced to if they don’t feel comfortable doing so.

Participants have ranged in age from early 20s to late 70s, and represent a wide range of writing experience and ability.

Ross Dunnet, Andrea Winterbottom and Wayne Smith take part in the free yoga and writing drop-in class that runs the first Tuesday of every month at Parkgate library from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH “Sometimes their writing starts out going in one direction and ends up in another direction,” notes Winterbottom, adding the prompts often help bring emotions to the surface.

“They have brilliant

nuggets in there especially about their feelings and relationships and their childhood,” she says of the participants.

“It’s just fabulous.”

Shutterbug creates sense of placement From page 13 Daroowala was hired as a social media community manager at a downtown hotel and tasked with populating their Facebook page, blog and Twitter feed with stories from around the hotel. At some point someone handed him a camera and told him to start adding photos. He had never used a digital SLR before and didn’t really have any interest in it.

But he started snapping shots around the hotel and it didn’t take long before he was hooked.

He spent a year teaching himself the technical and creative aspects of photography, mostly by watching YouTube videos.

“I was never learning to become a photographer or make money, I just enjoyed it,” he notes.

He posted his photos to Facebook, then expanded to Instagram. He points out that much of his first work on Instagram featured iPhone photos. Fancy equipment can help, but it doesn’t guarantee a great photo, he explains. A lot of thought

and preparation goes into his work.

“I like to create an image where someone can feel like they’re there,” he says.

Sometimes it’s just a foot or the edge of a car, but he wants people looking at the photo to be able to visualize themselves as part of the experience.

“I try to create a sense of placement whether it’s in my photos or my captions.

I want people to almost feel like they’re there.”

Daroowala’s two favourite types of photos to take are portraits and travel photos.

He especially enjoys combining the two, like when he recently took a trip to India, where his family is originally from. He describes a street corner in Bombay and how it looks different every day: the people, the colours, the smells.

“It’s like sensory overload and I find that I like shooting in that environment,” he says.

Another favourite place to visit is the Dolomite mountains in Italy, and Daroowala plans to return to the alps in October for an extended visit

and photo shoot.

“Photos are such a big part of my life now,” he reports.

Even if he didn’t get paid to do the work he does, Daroowala says he would continue to take photos. He says his work is his pleasure. “Taking photos is my lifestyle.”

Ideal Protein and Bellevue Pharmacy: The Perfect Match At Bellevue Pharmacy we are always striving to improve the health and wellness of our community.

We fill many prescriptions where weight loss would help reduce or even eliminate the need for some medications.

about Ideal Protein through a good friend and saw how fantastic she looked, something told me this was my time to work on getting myself back, and that I would attempt to lose all my weight I had gained.

The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method is a medically derived and medically supervised program. Our dieters come in once a week for measurements, body composition analysis and coaching.

“Not only did I get my energy back but I also got my health and confidence back.“

We are very happy to have a coach who has had great success on the program. Here is her story: “I started this journey five years ago, after the birth of my children and after many attempts to do it on my own, I decided it was time I needed to make a change for me. I heard

Ideal Protein has changed my life completely. I have tried several diets in the past and this one has been the most successful and easiest by far. Not only did I get my energy back but I also got my health and confidence back. I lost a total of

53 pounds in six months, and I feel amazing!!! I feel so strongly about this weight loss program and was given the opportunity to become a Certified Ideal Protein Coach. I am so blessed to have been given the opportunity to share my success and now help dieters have the same success as me.”

Our Bellevue Pharmacy team specializes in the naturopathic arm of medicine where we consult our patients on an integrative approach to their health. We strongly believe that in order to treat a condition, we must take into account the whole person (body, mind, and spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle. Our approach emphasizes a therapeutic relationship between both conventional and alternative treatment.

Local seniors programs meet needs Socializing with peers an important part of active aging Seniors in Shanghai, China were recently discouraged from congregating by a major lifestyle store because they were using the facility to meet their peers, socialize, take naps, eat and flirt.

According to an article by Neil Connor of The Telegraph (story reprinted in the Vancouver Sun Oct. 14), the older clientele say they have nowhere else to go but Ikea. “‘We’ve been to McDonald’s and KFC. But there are barely any peers there,’ an 86-yearold named as Qiu told the China Daily newspaper,” the article states. “‘We feel like aliens there – surrounded

by youngsters. If there is another place in Shanghai where elderly people can gather, we are more than ready to pay twice as much and travel further.’”

Not so on the North Shore as seniors can gather at many facilities such as seniors centres (Silver Harbour Seniors’ Activity Centre, West Vancouver Seniors’ Activity Centre and Mollie Nye), and at other facilities that have strong seniors programing (North Shore Neighbourhood House, Capilano Community Services Society, North Shore Volunteers for Seniors, and Parkgate to name a few).

An October report, Our Future: Seniors, Socialization,

Call Caroline Vincent today for your FREE consultation.

778.899.0141 shelfgenie.com

Older and Wiser Margaret Coates and Health by Gloria Levi and Laura Kadawaki, published by the Columbia Institute, stresses the importance of seniors centres and programs. “By providing seniors with opportunities for socializing, healthy meals and physical activities, senior centre programs play a key role in keeping seniors healthy and independent.

They can delay/prevent seniors from requiring more costly health-care services.”

The report goes on to say, “caring for seniors in the community is the preferred option of both seniors and the government.” There is a growing consensus that “aging in place” is the preferred community response to an increasingly aging population.

Why Go Far?

The community response can be to provide places for seniors to congregate and get their needs met through strong programs and services. Or the community response can be to improve the built environment through safety and security measures in the community such as good street lighting, adequate crosswalk timing, and covered benches along walkways, adequate parking and more accessible public toilets. A local North Shore Seniors Action Table has been advocating with some success for these measures through its work on agefriendly action priorities.

The report also says that for seniors’ programming to be successful there has to be good supports: core government funding, strategic partners such as businesses, civic organizations, provincial government departments and faith communities, well-run volunteer programs and adequate space for standard and alternative programming.

Many of the programs and services on the North Shore are supported by municipal funding, and to some extent the funding is adequate.

However, many of the programs are grant-funded and

not core-funded, which leaves staff expending time and energy to obtain adequate funding instead of working on program delivery.

Some seniors in Shanghai have found an alternative to seniors centres in order to get their needs met by going to Ikea. “‘I guess few people know just how lonely old people are,’ said a retired woman named as Xu by a Shanghai news website,” Connor’s article continues. “‘Our kids are not around, and some visit only on weekends. I feel quite good when I come here.

I talk with friends, but some elderly do meet people who become lovers.’”

On the North Shore, whether a senior wants to flirt, meet a friend, exercise, grab a bite to eat, or just hang out, seniors programs are the best way to meet these needs.

Leading Fido all the way to total recall

Training pup takes patience and respect Over the last month or so, I’ve been writing about the basics of training a reliable recall.

The leadership lessons started off with an emphasis on being a good leader to your dog so that it had a reason to come when it is called.

My last column outlined the actual training steps to teach, reinforce and reward the recall. During this final week of recall training we put the weeks of training to the test by practising the recall out in the world of distractions.

But before you go down to the dog park with the expectation of Fido coming to you in the midst of a dog brouhaha, there is still work to be done,

Canine Connection Joan Klucha a lot of it!

Your goals still have to remain realistic because, regardless of the hours of training that have gone in, it has all been done within limited distractions for the purpose of building a solid leadership and training foundation. Taking your pup to the dog park at this point would be setting your dog up for failure and the weeks of

training you have put in will be tossed out the window.

As I mentioned in my very first column on this topic, a reliable recall takes, time, time and more time!

The next step in training is to find areas of mild distractions and within this environment practise a shortened version of the 5/5/5 game you learned last week, by turning it into a 2/2/2 game.

A walk along a quiet known trail is a perfect place to start.

During this walk, your dog is on leash. I prefer using a long leash of 4.5 metres or so for this stage of training as the long leash allows your dog to have a bit more freedom.

However, the leash is still short enough that if Fido gets distracted and shows signs of ignoring you, you are still in control and able to get your dog’s attention back.

When people approach

along the trail, work with your dog. Practice the 2/2/2 game and begin to reinforce to your dog the notion that he/she focuses on you, rather than others along your walk.

With consistency, Fido will automatically look to you for direction and come to you when other people are around.

Don’t get discouraged if your dog does get a bit distracted and ignores the command. Instead, recognize that you have allowed your dog a bit too much freedom and literally reel it in and work at a shorter distance. Too much too soon!

When distractions are infrequent along the trail, use it as another opportunity to practise the 2/2/2 game, but off leash. Be aware of your dog’s behaviour and look for the windows of opportunity, such as when your dog is

sniffing an extremely interesting spot and lifts its head.

That millisecond that exists between when a dog stops sniffing a spot on the ground and lifts its head away from that spot is your window of opportunity to call it to come before it finds something else to focus on. Teach it to focus on you by calling it at that exact moment! If you are consistent, your dog will learn to check in with you, waiting to be called once it lifts its head from an interesting spot.

There are many windows of opportunity like this along a walk, you just have to pay attention to your dog and look for them.

Set your training up for success by increasing the distraction levels incrementally only after your dog comes successfully at a lower level of distraction. Work up to training off leash, don’t start with

your dog off leash.

Be kind to yourself. Either you or your dog will screw up and that’s OK. It’s perfectly fine to go back to the basics after an unsuccessful outing.

But if your dog is consistently failing at a high distraction level, it is telling you that it is just not ready yet to take on that challenge. Respect that.

Sometimes, even when your leadership is great and training is great, a dog is just too immature to handle a high distraction area for training.

Have fun, remember that training is a lifelong journey to be enjoyed with your dog, and when it is done with joy it will enhance your bond.

NORTH VANCOUVER CITY: COUNCIL CHANGES FEE STRUCTURE

CNV rolls out flat dog licence fees JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Whether spayed or unspayed, all dogs are equal in the eyes of the taxman.

Licensing man’s best friend now costs $30 in the City of North Vancouver, following council’s unanimous approval of a new flat fee Monday.

The city used to charge $59 to license pugs with the potential to produce

puppies. However, the attempt to incentivize owners to have their pets spayed or neutered failed to produce a “noticeable effect on reducing pet overpopulation,” according to a staff report. The old fee structure was likely ineffective because, while responsible owners spay or neuter their dogs, “irresponsible owners do not,” the report noted.

The change means a $5 hike for dogs who have left their breeding days behind.

Given that approximately 92 per cent of North Vancouver dog owners have had their pooches spayed or neutered, the city is expecting an eight per cent boost in their dog licensing revenue, according to a staff report.

Monday’s vote triggered the first bump in licensing fees since the cost hopped from $20 to $25 in 2005.

The licence is “insurance against a lost pet,” according to the report, which

said the annual fee greatly improves the city’s chances of reuniting a lost dog with its owner.

But while prices are down for some dogs, bad behaviour is set to bite some owners right in the pocketbook. The new fine for owning an unlicensed vicious dog is set to double to $400.

The fine for having a vicious dog at large in the city is also set to rise from $75 to $200.

North Vancouver wakeboarder Michela Phillips takes her turn on a training run. The 21-year-old daughter of Olympic gold medallist Kathy Kriener Phillips and freestyle skier Dave Phillips will take part in her first world championships this weekend at the Camsur Watersports Complex in the Philippines. PHOTO SUPPLIED

North Van boarder making waves Michela Phillips the latest star in high-flying family North Vancouver’s Michela Phillips comes from a family of famous athletes, and she’ll be looking to pull herself onto the global stage as well this weekend at the 2016 Wake Park World Wakeboarding Championship in Camarines Sur, Philippines.

The 21-year-old is the daughter of alpine skier Kathy Kriener-Phillips, gold medallist in giant slalom at the 1976 Olympic Games, and Dave Phillips, a former member and coach with Canada’s national freestyle ski team. Michela grew up on Indian Arm, a childhood spent on the water.

She began wakeboarding behind a boat but has since switched to “cable,” a competition style that

sees riders navigate a closed course with obstacles and jumps while being pulled by a cable suspended above the water.

In addition to training and competing around the world as a pro wakeboarder, Michela also now joins her father on stage on motivational speaking tours. The North Shore News tracked her down in the Philippines where she’s been preparing for the past month for her first appearance at the world championships. This Q&A was conducted through email: North Shore News: You spend a lot of time at the Camsur Watersports Complex in the Philippines – how do you like it over there?

Michela Phillips: I love it over here – I get to catch up with my friends from every corner of the globe while riding at one of the best wake parks in the world.

NSN: What do you miss about Vancouver?

MP: If I had to choose one thing I miss the most from Vancouver it would be taking my puppies out on the trails on the back of Mount Seymour. Nothing compares to our beautiful nature.

NSN: How did you get into wakeboarding?

MP: Since I grew up on the water my parents introduced me to wakeboarding at a very young age. My first time wakeboarding was when I was about four, but I really didn’t start getting into it until I was 15 when I attended my first provincial contest. I just remember getting

pressured into entering the contest and falling in love with wakeboarding, I haven’t looked back since.

NSN: How did you get to this elite level?

MP: When I first started getting into wakeboarding I decided to take it really seriously and I knew I had to travel to excel. So my first trip was 2.5 months in Australia once I turned 18 and I’ve been travelling around the world to wakeboard ever since. Everywhere I go I’ve had the assistance of so many good riders who push me and want to see me get better and that’s helped me immensely. Level 10 Fitness in North Vancouver has helped me over the last few seasons keeping me strong and injury free, helping me improve quicker.

NSN: What’s your favourite trick?

MP: My favourite trick is called

Moby Dick, which is a back flip with a back side 360.

NSN: What does it feel like to be out on the water?

MP: It’s the most amazing feeling to be out on the water because when I’m riding I know that nothing else matters except what I’m doing right here right now. I’m always the girl to be riding around the park smiling and singing because I have so much fun out there.

NSN: It’s obvious you’re passionate about wakeboarding – what makes you so passionate?

MP: My passion comes from my need for adrenaline. I love doing big gaps and trying tricks that really scare me. There’s something about the fear of failing that fuels my passion to do well.

Phillips flies into wakeboard worlds this weekend

From page 21

NSN: You have some very athletic parents. How influential were they in getting you to where you are now?

MP: My whole life I’ve been surrounded by athleticism so I’ve always had a good sense of how athletes train and compose themselves. It’s always been a goal of mine to be a professional athlete because of my parents, but I knew I wanted to do a different sport. They have been so supportive of me because of their athletic pasts and have mentored me into getting where I am today.

NSN: With your speaking engagements, who are you aiming to motivate? What’s your message?

MP: At the moment my dad and I are focusing on bonding generations and helping companies work well together. So often there is a disconnect between millennials and baby boomers in the work place, and our goal is to create a conversation to better the functionality of organizations.

Soon I’m looking to work

together with the Esteem Team to speak to school children across Canada to help them become more involved with sport.

NSN: What are your goals at the world championships?

MP: This will be my first time at the world championships, which I’m very excited for. I’m not too sure what to expect, but I’m shooting high hoping to get into the finals and ideally on the podium. There is such a high level of riding over here with an amazing turn out for females.

NSN: Where do you hope to go in the future in the sport (or otherwise)?

MP: Of course I would love to win the world championships one day, but I’m not at that level yet. If wakeboarding ever makes it into the Olympics it would be my ultimate goal to represent Canada there.

We still have some work to do before that happens, but I can see it happening in the coming years. I also want to use sport to motivate girls to reach for their goals and get outside of their comfort zone.

COUPLAND, Dr. Douglas Charles Thomas February 22, 1926 − October 10, 2016

Dr. Douglas Charles Thomas Coupland passed away peacefully in Lions Gate Hospital on the morning of Monday, October 10, 2016 at the age of 90. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 59 years, Janet Coupland (Campbell) and his sons Tim (Tamiko), Peter, Douglas, Bruce (Jackie) and his grandchildren Cole, Siri, Julia, Lauren and Ben. What is life? Life is what Dr. Coupland lived in abundance. He was a husband, a father, a friend, a doctor, a fighter pilot, a rancher, a downhill ski champion, a skeet−shooting champion, a dentist, an oral surgeon, a photographer, a scuba diver and a card player. He raised the bar pretty darned high for everyone around him.

Dr. Coupland − Dad − was born in Ottawa on February 22, 1926. He received his RCAF Wings in 1947, and from 1959 to 1963 he was stationed at #4 Fighter Wing, RCAF, Baden−Söllingen, Germany where two of his sons were born. There he served as both fighter pilot and flight surgeon for NATO squadrons #444−F, #422−F, and #419−F. Dr. Coupland flew 23 types of aircraft including Harvards, Vampires, Avengers, Sabre V1s and T−33 Jet Aircraft, but flying De Havilland Beavers was his true passion. He paid his way through university by flying in summers for the Air Force as well as working as a commercial bush pilot. He flew extensively in Ontario, Quebec, Labrador and Newfoundland and he loved every minute of his thousands of logged hours. He often flew over areas of land where the maps actually read, ’Unknown’. He was a true explorer in a way that maybe no longer exists.

Dr. Coupland studied and graduated from McGill University, the University of Toronto and Queens University. He entered medical practice in North Vancouver as a family physician in 1965 in North Vancouver, and was on staff at Lions Gate Hospital for 43 years.

Since 1965 Dr. Coupland lived for the vast, wide− open spaces of Canada’s outdoors and explored them in a Cessna 185 and a De Havilland Beaver as a private citizen. He believed that Canada was a leader in wildlife conservation and stewardship.

There are so many wonderful things we can say about the man, but perhaps the most important is that as a man and as a professional, Dr. Coupland saw life as sacrosanct, and through his nine decades he always worked to heal the sick, fix the wounded and ensure that whatever it is, this thing called life, was treated with respect and the deepest of care. We miss him dearly.

SALVIDGE, Robert (Bob) April 10, 1930 − October 16, 2016

Bob was predeceased by his father Arthur Salvidge in 1975, his mother Rena Salvidge (nee Empey) in 1994 and his beloved youngest daughter Christy Salvidge in 2000.

Bob is survived by his wife of 62 years, Bertha, his dear daughter Tracey Rand (Bill), his grandchildren Kathleen, Allison and Robert Rand, his brother Bern Salvidge (Patricia) and his nieces Deborah, Claire and Nicole Salvidge.

Bob started his early career working for the iconic Wallace Neon Company and worked on some of Vancouver’s most famous neon signs. He went on to work for CPR and then finally found his calling and life long relationship with the automobile.

As oil company dealers, Bob and his brother Bern operated a British American gas station on Granville Island in the 60’s (the building is still there today).

The brothers later operated Gulf Oil stations at 2nd & Burrard and at 15th & Oak. But the Salvidge name would best be remembered today as "Salvidge Automotive Ltd." located at 1636 West 4th Avenue. Salvidge Automotive operated for over thirty years and maintained a large and loyal base of customers, being voted the best auto repair shop in Vancouver on several occasions.

Bob was also a charter member of The BC Custom Car Association (BCCCA) because hot rods, custom cars, street and drag racing were just as popular in the late 40’s and early 50’s as they are today. In fact, then as now, street racing was a big concern to the Vancouver Police Department. This led to Bernie Smith and other members of the VPD getting together with a group of local hot rodders to try to solve the problem. They did this by forming the BCCCA which is the oldest rod and custom car club in Canada.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Jane Hamilton at the age of 83. She died peacefully at her home, surrounded by the love of her family.

Jane was born in London, England. She studied Occupational Therapy at Oxford University, where she met her future husband, Hugh.

They emigrated to Canada but did return to England to be married in 1960.

After living and working throughout BC, they settled in their lovely family home in West Vancouver. For many years, Jane worked at home, raising their three children and later returned to her career as an Occupational Therapist with the Canadian Arthritis Society. Jane enjoyed many hobbies such as playing the piano, quilting, cooking, reading and volunteering in her community.

Jane is survived by Hugh, her loving husband of 56 years; her children, Cynthia (Peter), Andrew (Karen), Susan (Don) and seven grandchildren: Tyler, Brady, Parker, Everett, Matthew, Thomas, and Olivia. She is survived by brothers Andrew and Stephen and sister Anna.

Jane’s feisty nature and adventurous spirit were cherished by all who knew her. She was a kind, strong, and gracious woman who was not afraid to speak her mind.

There will be an open service at St. Stephens Church (885-22nd Street) in West Vancouver on Saturday, November 5th at 3:15PM. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Jane to the Parkinson Society of BC . If preferred, online Tribute Gifts can be made at www.parkinson.bc.ca under ‘Donations’.

Bob will be sadly missed by his family, his associates, friends and many loyal customers.

Please think of Bob every time you see a classic car on the road because chances are that at one time Bob either owned one or repaired one just like it.

A Celebration of Bob’s Life will be held on Friday, November 4, 2016 at 4:00 PM. Please contact salvidge2016@gmail.com for details. In lieu of flowers, a charitable donation to the Melanoma Network of Canada, the BC Epilepsy Society or the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia in Bob’s name would be greatly appreciated.

Our thanks go to the doctors and nurses who provided tremendous care for our father in his final days at Lions Gate Hospital.

A ceremony celebrating his life will be held on November 6 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Capilano Golf Club in West Vancouver. Flowers gratefully declined.

As you share the stories and the memories of how they lived their lives and how very much they meant, may you find comfort...

HAMILTON, (née Brockman), Jane November 30, 1932 - October 24, 2016

Celebrate the lives of loved ones with your stories, photographs and tributes

PILKINGTON, Alma Martha (nee Schindel) May 14, 1923 - October 24, 2016 It is with great sadness and everlasting love that we announce the passing of a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

Alma’s life journey came to a peaceful end on October 24th, after being surrounded by family.

Alma loved deeply and without reservation. Her strong morals were exemplified in her commitment and dedication to her family and her faith. Alma’s kindness and generosity knew no limits and she enriched the lives of all who knew her. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 73 y e a r s , B i l l , h e r s o n s Te r r y ( Ta m a r a ) , Wa y n e (Rosemary), her daughter Gale (Peter), 8 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. A celebration of Alma’s life, officiated by Pastor Emeritus Norman K Archer, will be held at West Vancouver Baptist Church, 450 Mathers Ave., West Vancouver on Friday, November 4, 2016 at 1:00 pm “Don’t grieve for me; for now I’m free, I’m following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call: I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day.”
