Football players, parents undo vandal’s damage BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
North Vancouver RCMP are looking for the vandal or vandals who celebrated the start of the school year by tearing up the sports field at Handsworth secondary.
Someone drove onto the field in the early morning Sunday and spun their tires and did doughnuts, dealing damage to the grass field where the Handsworth junior and senior Royals play. The Handsworth junior and senior Royals are both to due to host their home openers at the field this weekend. Disappointing as damage was, the school’s tight-knit football community formed a huddle and devised a game plan within hours. “A group of parents and students, along with staff, came

Black bear destroyed due to habituation JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
Conservation officers are investigating reports that a black bear hanging around a West Vancouver neighbourhood was being regularly fed by people.
Officers were recently forced to destroy the bear over safety concerns, after the bear aggressively pursued hikers on two different occasions last month. Conservation officers say the mature male black bear is the same bear that played a cat-and-mouse game with runner Chris Lubbell during a frightening standoff on the Lower Shinglebolt trail in mid-August. In that encounter, the bear pursued Lubell, sniffed at him and stood over top of him when Lubell fell trying to run away. Conservation officers set a trap for the bear at that time but “we believe people tampered with our trap multiple times,” said Conservation Officer Simon Gravel, acting inspector for the Lower Mainland region. The bear is believed to be the same animal captured on video at the beginning of August when it sniffed around a tent that had been pitched illegally by a camper near the Capilano River. On Aug. 24, another hiker on the trail had a scary encounter

KEITH BALDREY: HEALTH CARE COURT CASE COULD IMPACT WAIT-LISTS PAGE 8

A grandmother’s trip from North Van to South Africa
Grandmas unite to fight AIDS
JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com
The AIDS epidemic continues to ravage subSaharan Africa, claiming the lives of millions of mothers and fathers – often leaving a grandmother with the duty of holding her family together.
Jeanette Froese has spent the last decade raising money for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, a charitable group attempting to assuage the AIDS epidemic by funding education, sanitation and healthcare projects in Africa through the Stephen Lewis Foundation. Asked why the cause is so close to her heart, Froese offers four words: “Because I’m a grandmother.” Froese, a Parkgate resident and grandmother of five, trekked to Zambia and Durban last July with a small group of like-minded grandmothers to see the fruits of their work. Approximately 25.6 million residents of sub-Saharan Africa are living with HIV, accounting for more than two-thirds of the global population of HIV sufferers, according to the World Health Organization Discussing the current of grief running through so many communities, Froese recalls what a fellow
Approximately 390 students attend this community school in Zambia, which thrives in large part because of the efforts of grandmothers who provide lunches and recruit teachers for children who can’t afford the government school. PHOTO SUPPLIED grandmother told her during their trip: “Those of us who live in Canada really won the lottery and it’s up to us to do something to help others.” The collection of Canadian and Australian grandmothers have devoted themselves to working with grandmothers in Africa to help spread the word about HIV treatment and prevention and to lessen what remains a potent stigma. “It’s still a pretty dire situation,” Froese says. In her travels, Froese talked with a grandmother who watched eight of her 11
grandchildren die of AIDS. Froese listened to an account of a pair of 12-year-old girls who had to stop going to school when they started menstruating. After the girls eventually got back into school, they were expelled again over the baseless claim they were having sex. But Froese also toured a school in Zambia run by community grandmothers and attended by 390 students – most of whom couldn’t afford the uniform required at the governmentfunded school. The Stephen Lewis Foundation recently
helped provide desks for the students, Froese reports. “We really felt that we were making a difference,” Froese says. In the last 10 years, the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign has raised approximately $24 million, which flows through the Stephen Lewis Foundation to combat AIDS in Africa. Approximately 10 per cent of the money raised goes to administrative costs, leaving the lion’s share for grassroots organizations in Africa, according to the Stephen Lewis Foundation.
The foundation works to get social workers and nurses into the community, as well as ensuring patients have access to antiretroviral drugs. To help fund projects big and small, Froese says she met grandmothers from a self-help group organized by widows. They were selling homemade marmalade, roasted peanuts and hand-knit crafts in Lusaka, Zambia’s capital. They’d bought supplies with funds from the campaign and were using the nearly universalgrandmother skill set to
raise more money. While Froese heard horrifying accounts of women’s legal rights being trampled and widows losing everything after the death of their husbands; she also witnessed the resolve of grandmothers as she listened in on workshops held in the languages of Zulu and Xhosa. Translators would allow the English-speaking grandmothers to follow along, jotting down the most meaningful phrases. Froese was part of an international delegation of approximately 2,000 grandmothers planning to march in Durban in conjunction with the 2016 World Aids Conference, but one of the most lasting impacts of her trip was a single phrase spoken in one of those workshops: “Nothing about us, without us.” “It’s time that the government recognized the grandmothers and what they do,” Froese says. While still recovering from the “emotional roller coaster” of her trip, Froese says she plans to spend the next year making presentations about her time in Africa to raise the profile of Grandmothers to Grandmothers. Froese is scheduled to speak at the North Vancouver City Library on Dec. 13.

Const. Myung Hwan Choi sometimes catches people off-guard with his multilingual dexterity.
“I look Asian,” he says. “If I do speak to them in Spanish, people get really surprised.” At times, during investigations, he’s even been able to catch conversations between witnesses that they didn’t think the North Vancouver police officer would understand. But as a polyglot who was born in Korea and immigrated as a child to Paraguay before his family settled in Canada, Choi fluently speaks Korean, Spanish and English. Choi is among a growing number of police officers who is able to use his language skills in carrying out his duties in a multi-cultural population. Among the group of RCMP officers he works with, Choi isn’t alone in his lingual dexterity. Most of the other officers on his 12-person team speak at least one other language, including French, Greek, Farsi, Arabic, Italian, Punjabi and Turkish. Of the 130 RCMP officers posted to North Vancouver, almost 60 officers speak at least one additional language, says Corp. Richard De Jong, spokesman for the detachment. In addition to the 20 French speaking officers, some of the languages spoken include Bulgarian, Russian, Cantonese, Croatian, Serbian, Hindi, Urdu, German, Swiss German, Gujarati, Japanese, Portuguese and Kurdish. Volunteers at the North Vancouver Community Policing office also reflect the cultural mosaic of the local community, said De Jong. Collectively, the volunteers speak French, Farsi,

PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH Arabic, Spanish, German, Russian, Korean, Punjabi, Hindi and Japanese. “It’s pretty multi-cultural here in North Van,” says Choi. “I think it’s a great asset to have, especially if you can help your colleagues.” Choi has been called out by a number of detachments to translate for victims of crime, witnesses and suspects who speak other languages. Usually, “they’ll be really glad to speak with an officer who can speak their language,” he said. “Sometimes you get a totally different story than you’ve got in English” – mostly because people lack the ability to provide details if they don’t speak English well. Choi said he has to be careful when speaking with suspects to make sure they
understand their rights. Police officers have cards warning people of their right to remain silent and to speak with a lawyer that they can access in multiple languages but it helps to reinforce that verbally, said Choi. “Even people who speak fluently in English sometimes have difficulty understanding that.” De Jong said having so many officers who can speak other languages is a definite benefit to the local RCMP and one of the ways the force has evolved over the years to reflect the diversity of the general population. “For a lot of people, English is their second language,” he said. Having the ability to speak directly to them in a language they are most comfortable in has “been to our benefit and we’ve taken advantage of it for many years,” he said.

together and they took sand and filled in all of the divots to be able to make it safe again,” said Deneka Michaud, North Vancouver school district spokeswoman. “It was actually pretty amazing how the community came together so quickly,” she said. The cost of the damage hasn’t been calculated yet, according to Michaud. However, the price of the vandalism will be covered by the school’s maintenance budget. Handsworth’s principal David Overgaard and the RCMP’s school liaison officer addressed the school’s students at an assembly Tuesday morning. There is no surveillance footage of the damage being
done but there was at least one witness, according to De Jong. “A neighbour there heard the revving of engines at about 5:40 a.m. and observed an older, darkcoloured SUV leaving the field,” he said. Anyone with information about the vandalism is asked to contact North Vancouver RCMP who are looking to get a flag on the play. “Somebody knows something. There could have been more than one person in the vehicle, and usually they tend to brag about these things as well,” De Jong said. Mountainside secondary was also the target for mischief over the long weekend, with someone spray painting the school. RCMP members were called to disperse a group

of teens who had gathered there around 11:30 p.m. Monday and discovered the damage. Otherwise, it was a relatively quiet long weekend for “grad party” mayhem, according to De Jong. RCMP had not been alerted to any kids being taken to hospital and there were no reported assaults, De Jong added. “Compared to other years, it was significantly lower in calls for service. Our officers were really just chasing kids around from park to park and school to school,” he said. In June 2012, North Vancouver RCMP arrested a 22-year-old man for doing “drunken doughnuts” in his Ford Bronco on the soccer field at Ray Perrault Park.

Class system
M
ore than 22, 000 students head back to school on the North Shore this week. They’re doing so in a complicated world, where the double-edged sword of technology is increasingly present and where schools strive to meet the challenge of staying relevant. There is much to applaud in the new curriculum – an emphasis on critical thinking and application of skills. Those will serve students well long after the final school bell has rung. Hopefully there’s also still room for learning of facts – things an educated citizenry should be able to access in those vast supercomputers known as our brains, whether or not Google is available. The school system is massive. It consumes a large amount of resources. It’s also hugely important – not just to those
whose kids are in it, but to anyone who will interact with those students later – as employees, as citizens, as volunteers and taxpayers. School is where we enter society and its expectations of us. It defines us and shapes us. But school doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It takes a village (that’s all of us) to help educate smart citizens of tomorrow. There are still plenty of issues in our school system – from the financial load on parents to large class sizes and a system that must juggle many different needs. But that feeling of starting fresh in September never really leaves. Although New Year’s doesn’t happen for four more months, September feels more like the real time of new beginnings. It’s a time to assess, to get enthused and to hit the reset button. In that spirit, we welcome the back-toschool energy that this week brings.
Health care court case could impact wait-lists
L
et’s say you are on a wait list for the type of surgery that will play a huge role in your life, perhaps the kind that restores full mobility or removes chronic pain or simply provides a level of comfort you haven’t felt for some time. And let’s say you’ve been on that wait list for months, and it’s still unclear exactly when you’re going under the knife. Do you have the right to pay for that surgery in a private health care clinic, bypassing the more clogged publicly funded system in favour of quicker treatment? That question is at the core of a court case beginning this week in B.C. Supreme Court. The implications of the case are potentially huge and stand a good chance of turning our cherished public health care
CONTACTUS
View from The Ledge Keith Baldrey system on its head. The case itself is almost eight years old, but has been delayed for various reasons. It involves a private health care clinic run by Dr. Brian Day (along with some of its patients) suing the B.C. government because it won’t allow people to buy private insurance for medically necessary services that are covered in the public system.
The case is expected to last months, and will likely extend well beyond that because whatever the verdict, the losing side will undoubtedly appeal the judgment all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. A couple of important principles are in play here: should everyone have the same access to health care no matter how much money someone has, and, do individuals have a constitutional right to purchase health care if they think it is necessary? The Supreme Court of Canada has already weighed in on this matter, sort of. It ruled residents of Quebec could indeed purchase private health insurance, but the ruling was confined to Quebec only. Many observers think the case will push our health care system to resemble ones more common in
Europe, the so-called “hybrid” model that combines both the public and private side. The theory is that a blended model would allow for competition, and increased efficiencies in the health care system (a theory challenged by pure public system advocates). But even if that does occur, it’s far from certain how sweeping any changes will be. Nothing dramatic has changed in Quebec, for example, despite that high court ruling back in 2005. A key factor here is that no matter what the outcome of the B.C. case, there are only so many doctors and nurses in the system who can treat people. Even if the clinic were to win outright, it’s far from clear whether a high percentage of health care providers would defect entirely to the private side. Indeed, the B.C.
government argues any growth in private clinic business would drain the public side of physicians, thus increasing existing wait times. However, that remains simply an argument, not a statement of fact. B.C. has about two dozen private clinics that perform elective surgeries, and cosmetic work and surgeries sent their way via WorkSafeBC, the RCMP and the armed forces comprise the bulk of their work. Keep in mind those private health clinics exist only if they make money. If not enough patients (there are currently about 80,000 British Columbians on some kind of medical wait list) opt to pay (presumably) thousands of dollars to get off that list and have their surgery, the clinics will not be in a position to hire more doctors and nurses and

therefore make huge inroads on the public system. Presumably, some kind of business model for private clinics would evolve should Day win his case, but the public system would presumably still dominate (the public system does about 10 times the number of surgeries done in the private system, and it’s hard to see high-end services for cardiac and cancer patients ever shifting en masse to the private side). Nevertheless, the impact of this case is going to be felt one way or another. How big an impact won’t be known for a couple of years yet, but I suspect provincial governments (which largely fund our health care system) are watching this one nervously.

Dear Editor: I just read Brock Bishop’s unusually level-headed letter about the B.C. campfire ban (It’s Not Camping Without Weenies and S’mores, Aug. 21 Mailbox). It seems that the B.C. government has made an annual tradition out of the ban, regardless of the moisture level of the vegetation. Earlier this August my family camped on a certain Gulf Island where the fire risk level was medium (according to an indicator in front of an island fire station), yet the island had a fire ban in place. Luckily for us, the provincial park where we
camped somehow managed to get away with letting campers make fires in enclosed pits. As Mr. Bishop so correctly stated, if B.C. provincial park campfires were such a high forest fire risk, the provincial parks all would have burned down during the past decades when campfires were allowed. The B.C. government’s decision here is an all-too-common example of laying down a blanket restriction without carrying out intelligent analysis, in order to save money. It wouldn’t take much analysis to determine that provincial park campfires do not cause forest fires, even during dry
seasons — there were many of these in the past when campfires were allowed. Of course, in theory, provincial park campfires could cause forest fires, but they don’t. It is terribly sad that in a beautiful summer family vacation destination such as B.C., children can’t happily roast marshmallows anymore at their campsites, due to thoughtless government over-regulation. I just hope that this does not lose B.C. more money than the cost of a proper study into what historically has caused forest fires in B.C. Walter Cicha West Vancouver

this, I do sympathize with his problem and have a very simple solution. Having travelled Canada from coast to coast a few times, I couldn’t help but notice that we have quite a lot of spare real estate. In fact there was a beautiful tract of land in the northern part of the Yukon where he could probably choose whatever name he liked. There would also be room for all the other people who make up his “everybody” group. Joyce Shea North Vancouver

Q
“one of everything” in a few square miles. More than 100 years ago, the land owners in what is now the city rejected inclusion in the district municipality, on the grounds that the district was too spread out to efficiently deliver services. The last time I looked at mill rates, this belief appears to have been borne out.
What assurances would city property owners have that we would not pay more taxes after amalgamation? And more importantly, what assurances would we have that public consultation on a new name would not result in something wacky like “Blue Shore City”? Doug Hatlelid North Vancouver

Bear was fed, neighbours say
From page 1
with the bear, who wouldn’t back away, despite the efforts of four people, said Gravel. “The hikers did everything right” – making themselves appear big and yelling loudly, but to no avail, said Gravel. “It was definitely a bear that was fed by humans,” he said, adding that kind of behaviour is only seen in animals that have been fed. When bears learn that humans will provide food, they will return repeatedly, said Gravel. “A consequence
of feeding a bear is very dramatic for its behaviour,” he said. “They become more and more persistent.” Residents in the nearby British Properties neighbourhood told officers the bear was in the area daily and had figured out garbage pickup day. Officers determined there were few options, given the bear’s level of habituation to humans, said Gravel. The bear was caught in a trap and destroyed last week. Conservation officers are now investigating reports from neighbours that the bear was
being fed, said Gravel. If substantiated, the result could be a $345 ticket or a charge under the Wildlife Act. Gravel said in most cases where bears have become used to humans and view them as a source of food, bears are destroyed rather than relocated. Habituated bears that are relocated usually return within hours, he said. That’s why conservation officers urge residents to keep their garbage secure and report any problem bears before the behaviour crosses the point of no return.

Tips for maximizing your fall harvest
It’s always this time of year that the abundance from the garden seems to overwhelm me.
Right now I have 50 pounds of tomatoes waiting to be canned, 20 lb. of beans ready for pickling and 30 lb. of beets for borscht headed for the freezer. Most veggies can be quickly blanched, bagged, and then put straight into the freezer. My mom likes to put whole tomatoes into a bag in the freezer, and then defrost them in a big pot on the stove for sauce or soup on a winter day. The skins just slip off as they warm. I love canning. I get a kick out of the whole steamy process, and the satisfaction of many rows of colourful glass jars on display at the end of the season. However, it is not for everyone! If you’re doing large batches it can take all
The Edible Gardener Emily Jubenvill day or at least half a day, and there are a number of important safety procedures to learn and follow to ensure your finished product is safe to eat. Processing (freezing, drying, canning or pickling) is one way of dealing with all that you’re harvesting, but sometimes it can be overwhelming to find the time. How else can we store
our harvest? In the ground is a great option here on the West Coast. Our winters are mild enough that most root vegetables can be kept in the ground throughout the winter. In fact carrots actually taste better and sweeter after the first frost because the sugars in the green tops are forced back down into the root. Your beets can also withstand some frost while still in the ground, but not a hard freeze. If you opt to leave your root veggies in the ground then mulch them heavily with straw. The straw will help insulate and protect them all winter long. You can mimic cool storage for root vegetables well enough in a garage or basement. There are many do-it-yourself tutorials online using buckets or rubber totes, and even a few options for

Tomatoes can be stored on the vine From page 13 apartment dwellers. When you harvest your roots for this type of storage cut off the green tops, but keep them dirty. Washing causes small lesions and breaks in the vegetables’ skins that will cause them to rot sooner than if left dirty. Tomatoes can be stored on the vine in a closet or in your garage. This is a great trick if your vines still have many green tomatoes on them as the nighttime temperatures dip below 10 C. Cut the whole vine off near the ground, and hang it on a hook or clothes hanger. The leaves will send all their remaining nutrients to the fruit to aid in ripening, and the ethylene gas the tomatoes produce will also speed the process. Back to the garden: This month is a great time to pinch your brussels sprouts. Pinch or cut off the leaves on the top of the centre stalk. This will encourage the plant to plump up the sprouts already forming. I find that weeds always make a last big push at the end of the season, and seem to go to seed very quickly. Keep an eye on your weedy friends and try to get them out before they set seed. One plant going to seed can add tens of thousands of seeds to your soil. It will take a long time to get them out of your soil’s seed bank once they’re there. Over the years I have gotten lots of questions about when to harvest winter squash, and I’ve seen too many harvested much too early. Pick a winter squash,

like a butternut or spaghetti squash, too early and it will not taste very good or store well. Wait until the vines begin to die back, and pressing your thumbnail into the flesh will not puncture the skin. Once they’re ready to be harvested cut them off the stem leaving three inches of stem on the squash – don’t use this as a “handle.” Cure them by leaving them in a warm, sunny spot for about two weeks. Now they will store well for four to eight months depending on the variety. Collect leaves. Collect leaves. Collect leaves. May this be your mantra heading into the fall season. Collect leaves for mulching your garden over the winter, and then collect more to store in bags or piles for your garden next year. As leaves decay they

WELCOME TO THE 37TH ANNUAL
Zone has more than 30 exhibitors eager to share their knowledge and expertise on how you can be Stewards for our environment. Look for ‘Tent Talks’ located at the back of the Stewardship Zone.
The Coho Society of the North Shore is in its fourth decade of raising public awareness of current and potential threats to local waterways and fisheries and helping to resolve these issues through protecting, enhancing and restoring salmonid habitats. The festival is the main fundraiser to be able to support these efforts.
Starting at 12noon, topics include how our herring are coming back to our waters, updates to the Seymour River rock slide, what to do if you see something alive in our ocean, and how we are preserving heritage in our parks. Don’t miss our NEW Tug-Of-War competition between esteemed members of our emergency responders (fire, police etc) - they will need your cheers to help them win the coveted trophy.
Coho Festival
This year we are so excited to announce that Chilliwack will be performing on our main stage. From the Coho Swim, Run and Walk to the famous Salmon BBQ, there’s something for everyone. This year’s BBQ features Coho salmon, corn-on-the cob and salad greens all provided by Save-On-Foods. Again this year, the Squamish Nation Canoe Family will give their traditional “Blessing of the Salmon” at the Opening Ceremonies, and at the Village, Nation Ambassadors will share stories. The Squamish Nation have donated 2 beautiful salmon wood carvings so make sure you buy your draw ticket for one or participate in the silent auction for the other. Kids Park will be as fun as ever with a climbing wall, table tennis, bouncy castles, a Sand Art Party and the Vancouver Aquarium’s Touch Tanks. A new activity is the Bike Rodeo where kids of all ages can ride their bike through an obstacle track. Bring your own bike or borrow one on hand. Kids will be encouraged to participate in a Vanleena dance and/or Champion martial arts. Oh and there’s popcorn, cotton candy and ice cream to enjoy! The Stewardship
Larry Carlsen, Coho Society of the North Shore President, and Sherry Parrott, Coho Festival Chair welcome you to the annual Coho Festival.
The Coho Festival is a Zero Waste Event, so please take home what you bring and deposit all used items in the appropriate bins at one of the recycling stations. In keeping with the focus on helping our environment – we ask that you walk, ride your bike or take transit. There is a secure bike valet on site. This year we are selling coffee – but please bring your own cup to this zero-waste event! The main goal of the Coho Festival is to raise funds and create awareness for various North Shore stewardship groups that assist in protecting and sustaining our salmon.

It’s Salmon Season!
Fresh, wild Salmon has now arrived
Ask us about the many ways to cook this firm, lean, sweet-flavoured and nutrient-dense fish. Canadians are wild about their salmon. In fact, Canada is one of the largest salmon exporters in the world! Wild salmon is loaded with protein and the two blockbuster omega 3s — DHA and EPA — that help make us happy, smart and pain-free. As the body can’t make omega-3 fatty acids, the best way to obtain them is through the food we eat. Available in whole, fillet and steak portions.

REVIEW: APERO KITCHEN
Pleasant meal has flashes of excellence
Apero Kitchen, the airy and expansive new Italian kitchen in West Vancouver, has employed one of my favourite design esthetics, something I refer to (largely because I haven’t the faintest clue about appropriate interior design terminology) as farmhouse chic.
The Dish
It’s a sort of elevated rusticity that makes use of Chris Dagenais a warm, intentionally worn looking cream and pastel colour pallet, with wooden (or sometimes wrought iron) accents, and objects of curiosity like old doors, shutters and vintage chandeliers.
On a recent visit with my wife DJ, I liked the room right away. The restaurant is white-ish, but not white. The distinction makes a big difference as it gives the room a clean and welcoming feel, retaining its approachability while sidestepping the trappings of a stark and cold, pure white design that often portends a stuffy dining experience. The space runs deep and was much larger than I expected, comfortably fitting a surprising number of two- and four-top tables in addition to a recessed, booth-like space near the back of the room. Apero is a reference to the term l’heure de l’apero, or hour of the aperitif, a European tradition during which one takes a light and refreshing drink prior to a meal. It is also a truncated rendering of the proprietary name Aperol, a bitter orange botanical spirit from Italy that features in the extraordinarily delicious aperitif, Aperol Spritz, a drink that is de rigueur in Vancouver right now and one about which DJ and I have fond memories from our honeymoon in Venice, so many, er, moons ago. Spritz is served throughout that city’s
bacaro, the often hole-in-the-wall wine bars that serve libation and small snacks until late in the evening. We sipped the classic cocktail as we reviewed the menu, which is adequate in its variety but errs on the side of brevity. I suspect that the menu is a work in progress, an effort by chef and proprietor Haymo Elzenbaumer, an accomplished chef from Italy’s Alto Adige region who moved to Vancouver to set up shop whence his wife hails, to get a feel for the local palate and see what sticks. I say this because I saw flashes of excellence in the dishes we sampled, but got the sense that Elzenbaumer might be holding back a bit, awaiting confirmation that the North Shore diner is receptive to deeper forays into more traditional territory, hopefully into his native Northern Italian homeland where hearty cuisine with Germanic influences prevails. On my next visit, I might sample one of the evening’s specials, which may be another method through which the menu is being tested.

And making it at home is easier than you might think. To create authentic flavours you will need to purchase a few essential Asian condiments such as soy, oyster and hoisin sauces, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil, all of which are readily available at any large grocery store. The only other investment required is some time. Asian foods usually require a certain amount of what chefs call mis en place (preparation of ingredients prior to cooking). Here are three of my favourite Asian main dishes.

Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden, about three minutes. Add the broth, soy sauce and cornstarch mixture; stir and boil till sauce thickens, about two minutes. Keep warm over low heat.

Add the green onions and cook for about 15 seconds or until aromatic. Add the shrimp and celery and cook, stirring, for about one minute. Add the bean sprouts and cook, stirring, for about a minute or until sprouts are slightly softened. Add the soy sauce and cook for another minute until the bean sprouts have wilted. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the cooked shrimp and vegetable mixture and combine well. Pour enough oil into a
large skillet to coat the bottom and heat over medium-high heat. Ladle in quarter-cups of the egg mixture to form fourinch pancakes, distributing the veggies evenly with a fork. Gently fry the pancakes for two to three minutes per side until golden brown, keeping finished pancakes warm until all have been cooked. Replenish the oil between batches and adjust the heat to prevent burning. To serve, spoon mushroom sauce over the pancakes. Makes four servings.

In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, oyster sauce and sesame oil. Set aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat and add the chicken in a single layer; let it cook untouched for a couple of minutes to let chicken brown. When the chicken has turned golden, stir-fry until evenly browned on all sides. Add the green pepper and onion and stir-fry mixture for two or three minutes until vegetables have softened slightly. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Add the quarter-cup of chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to get all the brown bits. Reduce heat to medium and pour in the sauce mixture, then add the cornstarch mixture. Cook, stirring, for one or two minutes until the sauce has thickened (if it gets too thick add a bit more chicken broth), then add the cashews. Cook and stir until cashews are heated. Sprinkle green onions over top. Serve with cooked rice. Makes four to six servings.

from page 31 In any event, speculation aside, our meal was perfectly pleasant and well prepared. An appetizer of baked eggplant with goat cheese, sundried tomatoes and roasted red peppers was bright and lively, marrying nicely with a glass of Pinot Grigio, while an Arugula and Tomato Salad did a nice job of showcasing the in-season peppery greens with minimal distraction. My main course of Mushroom Ravioli (ordered because the dude at the neighbouring table was vociferously enjoying his) proved to be exceptionally tasty and the star of the meal, with its tender little pasta pockets stuffed with earthy mushrooms, all dredged in a creamy, rich mascarpone cream sauce. DJ chose the Gnocchi with spicy marinara sauce (technically an appetizer) as her main and enjoyed the golden, chewy pasta bites as a finger food, easily dip-able in the accompanying ramekin of house-made tomato sauce. I sipped a ripe and round Nero D’Avola from the by-the-glass list; six- and nine-ounce pours are available. We finished our meal with a soft and warm flourless Chocolate Almond Torte with vanilla ice cream. The gluten-free dessert had a nice, light texture and toasted nutty character.

Local cowboys James Lester and Richard Klaus, also known as the Sons of Vancouver, are in rapid growth mode. The creative distillers behind one of the Vancouver cocktail scene’s most treasured ingredients, Sons of Vancouver amaretto, have found such demand for their distillates (which also include vodka and chili vodka) that they have been forced into expansion mode sooner than their business plan forecasted. It’s a good challenge to have, no doubt, but a challenge nevertheless. The progressive duo has once again turned to crowd-funding platform Indiegogo (it was through crowd-funding that the guys financed their operation in the first place) to generate capital to acquire a new mashtun. Their campaign wraps on Sept. 15 and has some very unique rewards for contributors, including lessons on distillation and
A lot of work is taking place down in the Harbourside area, south of Marine Drive by Bewicke Avenue. Extensive road rerouting and the development of a safer, more accessible pedestrian thoroughfare are on the agenda. During this time, however, a couple of my favourite local businesses, Gretchen’s Here and Now Bakery and Black Kettle Brewing, are a bit obscured by the construction. With school starting up again, Gretchen’s thoughtful, homemade sweet and savoury treats (including the incomparably tasty and aptly named OMG cookies) are a great item for inclusion in a Friday lunchbox. Meanwhile, Black Kettle has some excellent seasonal (and eminently sessionable) brews to complement their Pale Ale and IPA mainstays.

Does the Virto V Replace Traditional Hearing Aids? Whether at work, during conversations in small groups or when watching television, one in six adults experience problems when it comes to accurate speech comprehension and hearing in everyday situations. Although background noise and music can impair communication with friends and family, two thirds of those affected still do not use any hearing aids.
For some clients, the smaller design of the Virto V hearing aids might possibly replace the more traditional behindthe-ear hearing aids, and like many of our other products, these hearing aids can easily connect wirelessly with TVs and smartphones,” explains Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of the Swiss manufacturer Phonak.
Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of Swiss manufacturer Phonak, presents the new Virto V hearing aids.
There are many reasons for this but most people are not convinced that hearing aids will significantly benefit them or they feel unease about attracting attention by wearing a visible hearing aid.
Virtual function of the ear
This is why the Swiss manufacturer Phonak has developed a world first: Virto V. These hearing aids are manufactured using a modern 3D printing process that provides a custom-fit miniature hearing aid that disappears into the ear canal, making it almost invisible to others. Despite its small size, the latest and most advanced Phonak hearing technology is still contained in the casing.
“Thanks to a new operating system, these new hearing aids can provide a virtual alternative for natural hearing, as experienced by people with normal hearing. Through intelligent control, the software can improve speech understanding, even in loud situations and by utilizing the 3D printing process, these hearing aids fit the natural anatomy of the ear as closely as possible making them truly a custom-fit solution.
Improve your speech comprehension at work – without attracting attention.
See how the virtually invisible Virto V fits into your daily routine. If you are interested in finding out more about these new hearing aids, the first step is to a book hearing evaluation and determine if the new Virto V technology is the right solution for you. For those who are hard of hearing, this can be particularly useful for finding out whether it is possible to hear and understand more clearly with discreet in-the-canal hearing solutions. Try these state-of-the-art hearing aids for yourself at Connect Hearing. Call us at 1.888.408.7377 or email info@connecthearing.ca to book your complimentary evaluation today.

Blues begin their title defence
Cap men hope for success without the stress this year ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com
Capilano University men’s soccer coach Paul Dailly is hoping his Blues end up at the same place they did last year, but he could do without the heart attack along the way.
In a story that was a sportswriter’s dream, the Blues started last year’s campaign with an 0-5-1 record and seemed left for dead before ripping off a run for the ages, winning 10 of their next 11 games to come back all the way from last place to win the PacWest championship title. They topped it all off by claiming silver at the CCAA national championships. A trip back to nationals would suit Dailly just fine, but could he do without the winless first month in a twomonth season? “That would be the understatement for sure,” he said with a laugh. Calling the start of the season a heart attack may be a bit of sportswriter hyperbole, but the winless September certainly

League MVP back for more with Blues
From page 36
are back this season, ready to hit the ground running instead of crawling. Topping that list are team captain Devan Woolley and secondyear forward Kristian Yli-Hietanen. Yli-Hietanen, a Sutherland secondary grad, is coming off a dream season in which he led the league in scoring with eight goals in 14 games and was named PacWest Rookie of the Year, PacWest Player of the Year and a CCAA All-Canadian. The SFU Clan showed interest in adding Yli-Hietanen after his rookie season but he’s back at Capilano for at least one more year. “We’re more than thrilled to have him in our lineup again,” said Dailly. “I’m expecting much the same as last year. The league is going to know Kristian this year and know who he is and what he’s all about, but he’s just got tremendous work rate, he gives you everything he has, game in and game out. He definitely has a knack for the net and can finish.” Woolley, returning for his fifth year, leads the Blues on and off the field, said Dailly. “He’s sort of our last line of defence, centre back,” he said. “Win headers, tackles – you can’t fault his effort, he gives everything he’s got, every single game.” Woolley will be joined on defence by brothers Nicolas and Daniel Morello, a pair of St. Thomas Aquinas grads. “One on the left, one on the right,” said Dailly. Nic is another team leader in his fourth year with the Blues while Daniel is in his second year, having played big minutes as a rookie. Second-year Handsworth grad Kamyar Amini, who earned a tournament all-star award along with Yli-Hietanen at the national championships, is back this year with a heavy workload on his plate. “We’re looking for him to control the middle of the park for us in midfield,” said Dailly. Third-year Sentinel grad Hudson Nelles will pick up where he left off as the team’s starting goalkeeper. Other key cogs returning this year include second year forward Ty Barbieri, a Sutherland grad, and second year midfielder Kuroush Faritous, a Handsworth grad.
There’s a distinct North Shore flavour to the team as 13 of the 21 players on the opening day roster come from North Vancouver or West Vancouver. That’s a testament to the strong youth leagues on the North Shore as well as a good indication of the strength of the Capilano program, said Dailly. “It’s big for us,” he said. “It’s obviously nice for me when there are so many North Shore products because I think we are, for the most part, their first choice as far as colleges or universities go. … North Van, West Van and Burnaby are the three areas we draw most of our players from. It says a lot for NVFC, Mountain United – these groups are producing some good players that are from this side of the bridge.” The slow start isn’t the only thing the Blues want to change from last season. There’s also the small matter of the national championship game against the Humber Hawks, which Capilano lost in a shootout after a scoreless draw. Two Humber players received red cards in the first half but the Hawks – and the goalposts – thwarted every Capilano attack for the rest of the match. The Blues would love to add a little more gold onto last year’s colourful story. Kristian Yli-Hietanen finds some room to move during a recent exhibition match. The reigning PacWest “The goals are the same Rookie and Player of the Year is back for his second year with the Blues. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH as pretty much every year – The Blues lost a lot last year, but they won The Blues start their PacWest title defence every time I come we try to build a team that almost every game when it mattered most. All tonight with a road game against Quest is going to get us to nationals,” said Dailly. University before returning to Capilano for but one. With the talent they’ve got back this “They believe in themselves and they believe their home opener Saturday against the year they appear poised to take another shot we have a very good group again this year. A Langara Falcons. Kickoff on Saturday at at winning it all. No matter what happens, it’s lot of them were there last year. Some people Capilano is 1 p.m. for the women followed by shaping up to be another interesting story. say you need to lose big games before you the men at 3:30 p.m. !!! win the big games.”

ADDISON, Patricia (nee Hope) 1929 - 2016 Patricia Addison passed away suddenly on August 29, 2016, at the age of 87. She was deeply loved by her husband of 60 years, Hugh Addison, who predeceased her by a year, and by her sons, Charles (Cynthia Sully) and James. She was a loving and devoted grandmother to Catherine, Heather, Kate, and Erin. She is survived by her sister, Helen Hart (David Hart) in Eastbourne, England, and her nieces Clare Hart, Ruth Hart and her nephew, Anthony Hart. She is also remembered by her many good friends and her extended family. In addition to her beloved husband, Hugh, she was predeceased by her parents, Jack and Alexandrina Hope. Patricia was born in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1929. She grew up loving art and playing the piano. She spent many happy days with her family at their cottage at Ma-Me-O Beach at Pigeon Lake, Alberta, along with her many relatives and friends. After high school she went to work for Rule, Wynn, and Rule, a leading Alberta architectural firm. She ultimately became office manager in the Edmonton office. Patricia always spoke fondly of a trip she made with Helen and other friends to Europe by ocean liner from New York in the early 1950’s at a time when you could walk around Seville, Spain, before there were any tourists and when you packed your best clothes to visit the casino in Monte Carlo. In 1955 she met the love of her life, Hugh Addison. Patricia and Hugh were married in Edmonton in 1956 and started to build a life together. After her two sons came along, the family moved to North Vancouver in 1964 for Hugh’s new job and then to West Vancouver, which was where Hugh was from. Patricia always cared deeply for her family and worked hard to support them by believing in them and looking after the family home. Over the years, Patricia made many friends in a variety of activities from her bridge group where so many young families came to know each other, to her quilting group when the kids had all left home. Patricia volunteered regularly in her community through a variety of organizations over the years. She and Hugh travelled extensively to many locations around the world. Patricia was always there with a comforting shoulder if things weren’t going quite right. In retirement, she spent many happy years with Hugh at their vacation home on Saltspring Island tending to their garden and playing golf with many friends including, Bill and Mary Hogg. In her later years, she continued to be active in the community and with friends. She loved all her granddaughters deeply and was fiercely proud of them. After Hugh’s passing last year, it took her some time to recover, but in recent months she had found peace and comfort in the warmth of her home. She continued to watch the ships sail past while sitting on the deck of her home feeling the warm rays of the sun on her face. Patricia lived a full life. She was and is loved and will be deeply missed. Patricia’s family would like to thank Janice, Heather, and Socki for enabling her to remain in her home over the past year. There will be a gathering to remember Patricia at 1 pm on Sunday, October 2. For more information regarding the gathering contact Hollyburn Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, a donation to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation would be appreciated. For those wishing to share a memory of Patricia, please go to www.Hollyburnfunerals.com.

GIRLING, Michael November 24, 1934 − August 25, 2016
On August 25th, 2016, at age 81, Burnaby boy and long−time North Vancouver resident, Michael Girling passed peacefully in the presence of his loving family. He is the son of Walter and Constance Girling and is pre−deceased by his wife, Patricia. He will be greatly missed by his children, Alan and Scott, daughters−in−law, Kano and Brenda, his grandchildren, Leon, Alexander and Christian, other close family members and the many good friends he gathered over the years. Michael strove to live the fullest life possible. He was a successful manufacturer’s sales representative, both independently and with N. Jefferson Ltd. He enjoyed a fulfilling 50−year marriage to the love of his life, Pat, and nothing meant more to him than the family they created, the love they had for each other and the times they were able to spend together, including annual trips to Orcas Island, Shuswap, Penticton, and later to Japan, Mexico, Australia, and elsewhere. He put his all too into the lives of his sons, their soccer, their hockey, their enthusiasms, and he especially loved the relationships he built with his grandsons, the annual trips together to Harrison Hot Springs in particular. As a younger man, his personal passion was sailing, and he was most proud of his Columbia 26’ sailboat, Baloo, which was named for his role as a Cub leader for his two sons. Mike, dad, gigi, or grandpa, he was a family man to the end. He lived well on his own terms and is gone too soon. A celebration of Michael’s life will take place later in September.
