Tom Larscheid’s first NHL game

Here’s a quirky little

story to help quell your

hockey-lockout blues

Tom Larscheid lived on the North Shore – including a home on Camelot Road in

West Vancouver – during much of his colourful 45-year radio and television broadcasting career which earned him induc-tion into the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.

But his Camelot-like career as the colour commentator for Vancouver Canucks’ games for almost 30 of those years from 1977-83 and then 1988-2010 (with play-by-play announcers Jim Robson, Jim Hughson and John Shorthouse) began with a rather difficult opening game to say the very least.

It’s a story that Larscheid can laugh about now. But at the time it was anything but funny.

Larscheid had arrived in Vancouver as a 22-year-old in 1962 via his Milwaukee birth-place, California upbringing and a Utah State University hall-of-fame football career to play running back for the BC Lions.

That first season he tallied nine touchdowns on 597 rush-ing yards and 496 more on 29 pass receptions. The nine TDs ranked ninth in the entire Canadian Football League and were second on the Lions only to the 14 recorded by the incom-parable Willie Fleming.

However, Larscheid’s grid-iron-playing days with BC were put on hold after a knee injury in 1963 prevented him from suiting up for the Leos’ first two Grey Cup appearances in ’63 and ’64. And they ended permanently on July 15, 1965, while on a comeback attempt during an unusual exhibi-tion tripleheader at Empire Stadium involving BC, Calgary

and Edmonton. Larscheid at 170 pounds was tackled by the Stampeders’ 260-pound Don Luzzi and Tom’s knee gave out for the final time.

Larscheid did some part-time colour commentary for Lions games that season and eventu-ally turned to broadcasting foot-ball as a full-time occupation.

Then in 1977, while he was still doing Lions’ games, CKNW decided to pair him with the already legendary Jim Robson on hockey games of all things. Robson had almost always worked alone to that point. Larscheid had never broad-cast hockey. Surely, this was an extraordinarily bizarre plan and it was scoffed at by plenty

of observers.So you can

imagine the pressure on Larscheid when the Canucks opened the regu-

lar season with a game against the New York Rangers in Madison Square Garden, argu-ably the world’s most famous arena. It was Oct. 12, 1977, exactly 35 years ago this week-end.

“My first game with Jim Robson,” Larscheid confirms, “was back in 1977 at Madison Square Garden in New York. “Now can you imagine this? It’s my first game and the micro-phones aren’t working. We actu-ally broadcast the game on a telephone. Jim would hold it, do the play by play and then put the phone in front of my mouth and I’d do the colour.

“Then between periods I would interview my guest. I had to interview him the same way with a telephone and that was the very first [hockey] game I ever did. We had to do the game that way until the third period when the operator found out what was wrong.

“First of all, there was the anxiety and the pressure and the butterflies just going in to

Master of the open Mic - Tom Larscheid was a master of the microphone but his first hockey broadcast was done over the telephone. Vancouver Canucks collection

Allegations of infighting pit rescuer against rescuer

North Shore Rescue is accusing the North Vancouver district firefighters’ union of dis-couraging its members from joining the all-

volunteer search and rescue team, an allegation the union flatly denies.

In a letter sent to The Outlook Tuesday, North Shore Rescue team leader Tim Jones said he’s aware of “repeated complaints” that at least one member of the North Vancouver district firefight-ers’ union — IAFF Local 1183 — has discouraged

other members and those in other Locals from join-ing or remaining a volunteer with North Shore Rescue.

But union president Brian Leavold said the alle-gations are “simply false.”

“We have no problem with North Shore Rescue,” Leavold told The Outlook in a phone interview Tuesday, saying he wasn’t even aware of the com-plaint until he received a letter from a lawyer rep-resenting the volunteer rescue squad.

“We [the district firefighters’ union] have no members in North Shore Rescue. We have never told anybody not to join North Shore Rescue or quit North Shore Rescue. I don’t know where he got

those allega-tions and I’ve worked for the district firefighters for 30 years.

“There may be another department out there or something,” Leavold con-tinued. “But it’s certainly not us.”

Asked whether he believed the union leader’s denial, the lawyer rep-resenting NSR replied: “Absolutely not.”

Labour and employment lawyer Greg Heywood said the current complaint from a North Vancouver city firefighter is just the latest in a string of accu-sations of bullying against IAFF Local 1183 mem-bers for allegedly pressuring other firefighters to abandon their extra-curricular rescue activities.

“It’s been an issue with this for a number of years,” Heywood told The Outlook in a phone inter-view Tuesday. “We had two firefighters from West Vancouver and one from North Vancouver district resign [from NSR] over this.”

Heywood said that because the city firefighter at the centre of the recent complaints is a senior exec-utive board member with NSR, he has “attracted the complaints of [the] North Vancouver District [firefighters’ union] more so than anyone else.”

Heywood cited a “twisted version of work juris-diction” between on-duty district firefighters and the volunteer rescuers as a likely source of the alleged friction between the two camps, something Leavold denied.

“Mr. Heywood’s false and unfortunate allegations do not alter my view of North Shore Rescue, which does good work and with which IAFF Local 1183 has no problems working alongside during emer-gency response situations,” Leavold said.

While NSR leader Tim Jones was unavailable for comment Tuesday due to his duties as a paramedic, he wrote in the letter that North Shore Rescue’s success in saving lives depends heavily upon the skills of its volunteers from the firefighting and emergency medical fields.

“Fire departments and the ambulance service provide a rich pool of potential volunteers because of their high degree of training in life-saving tech-niques,” Jones said. “[T]he loss of current IAFF members would be a significant blow to the team.”

Drink local North Vancouver’s Bridge Brewing is now on tap

North Shore beer lov-ers can now drink local. Really local.

In July, North Vancouver native Jason Stratton launched Bridge Brewing Company, a small-scale brewhouse located in a business park on the Dollarton Highway.

The brewery’s first offering, North Shore Pale, has already become a hit with local craft beer enthusiasts on both sides of the bridge with little marketing other than social media and friends telling friends.

Stratton describes their Northwest-style pale ale as “hop forward, yet refreshing.”

It’s sold in “Growlers” — 1.89-litre glass jugs — which cost $5 for the bottle and $12 for a fill up when you drop by the brewery. They also offer 19.5- and 50-litre kegs and are planning to add a bottling line so they can start selling 650ml bottles.

With beer sales flowing so fast, Stratton is already planning to increase his brewing capacity by adding another fermentation tank.

Already you can order Bridge’s pale beer when you’re dining out at Frankie’s Italian Kitchen, the Alibi Room in Gastown and Pier 7 and El Matador in North Vancouver.

Stratton, who by day is a controller for a large Vancouver company, has partnered with Partick Doré, the company’s official brewer, in the new beer ven-ture.

An accomplished chef

who’s been in the industry for three decades, Doré was working in Seattle dur-ing the 1990s when the microbrewery cul-ture exploded in Seattle and Portland.

“I had a front row seat to that,” he says, taking a break from brewing a batch of Bridge.

The pair — who are joined by the com-pany’s “director of consumption,” Leigh Stratton, Jason’s wife, in the brewery operation — have been tasting a lot of beer in recent months in order to craft a quality beer they’re proud to call their own.

It took three or four months to perfect the recipe for their North Shore Pale.

That meant litres of suds got poured down the drain.

“That’s not to say that they weren’t good — they just weren’t perfect,” says Stratton, who came up with the idea for starting the

brewery a couple of years ago, when — over beers, of course — he and his wife

City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto walked to work on Tuesday.

It’s a fairly short commute — around 12 minutes to city hall — but it gave him a chance to leave his smart car parked in the driveway and get some exer-cise while chatting with some residents along the way.

He’s hoping other North Shore residents will join him in leaving their cars at home — for at least one trip a week, whether that be walking to get groceries or biking to work or taking the SeaBus downtown.

To help residents go car-free once a week, the City of North Vancouver, along with the districts of North and West Vancouver, have teamed with TravelSmart, an organization dedicated to encouraging people to make more sustainable travel choices.

“I think it’s a great idea,” said Mussatto of the TravelSmart program.

Of course, it will be easier for some to get out of their cars.

Mussatto has embraced alternate methods of transportation for years, usually walking or biking to

work at least three times a week.He has some advice for first-timers looking to give

up their car for one trip a week. Start slowly with something easy. That could be

walking to a friend’s house, carpooling to your kid’s soccer game or biking or taking public transit to a movie. As the momentum builds, try something else.

Mussatto believes that if all North Shore residents make the car-free pledge, it will have a significant results in increasing community health and reducing traffic congestion, a problem that plagues the North Shore.

“People will be healthier. It takes cars off the road [and] reduces our carbon footprint.”

And if more people get out of their vehicles “we don’t have to build more bridges or lanes,” he adds.

To take the pledge and for tips on planning smart trips in your neighbourhood visit travelsmart.ca/northshore.

The 31st annual Vancouver International Film Festival wraps up this week after 16 days of memorable films, fun and faces. Known for being a festival of substance,

the event featured more than 380 films from around the world organized into series like Canadian Images, Dragons & Tigers, International Shorts and Cinema of Our Time. Still, no festival is complete without a few red carpet parties and premiere galas. Check out a few of the familiar faces below as Vancouver’s more famous locals came out to celebrate.

1 Walking the red carpet at the Lighthouse Pictures & JetSet crew film party are actors Michael Eklund, who can be seen in The Hive with Abigail Breslin and Halle Berry, and Katharine Isabelle, star of the horror thriller American Mary. 2 Sponsors of the big Red Carpet film party at the Sutton, Bridge Studios’ GM Ron Hrynuik, left, and Lighthouse Pictures’ Jamie Goehring pose for pics with all the big names. 3 You know him best as Constable John Constable from The Beachcombers, but actor Jackson

Davies is truly a local legend with more than 46 television series and shows to his name. 4 Travel Guys host Darren Parkman, left, jokes around with friend and actor Paul Duchart who filmed Charlie St. Cloud with Zac Efron here on the North Shore. 5 West Vancouver’s Cathy Negus-Kruse and actor

Duke Stevenson enjoy all the red carpet action at the Sutton Place Hotel event. 6 Young and handsome, look for newcomer Dylan Playfair, seen here with agent Carrie Wheeler, in a new endeavour called Mr. Hockey featuring Gordie Howe.

7 Vancouver’s sweetheart, actress Gabrielle Miller, of Corner Gas fame, joins visiting actor Alexander Cendese, left, and producer Alfonso Quijada.

The small, self-contained house he’s build-ing off the lane has vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and two bedrooms. It’s completely separate from his family’s home at the front of the yard and will eventually be taken over by his mother-in-law.

Like several other homeowners in North Vancouver, Henderson is opting for a coach house (also known as a granny flat, laneway or carriage housing) instead of a basement suite.

His 1,000-square-foot coach house on East 10th Street began to take shape in just one day, the base put in quickly and prefab walls nailed together. Nearing completion six months later, the

house’s style mirrors the original house which, according to city bylaws, helps it blend into the neighbourhood better.

“We wanted [design] symmetry between our house and the coach house, but it’s still a com-pletely separate place to live,” says Henderson, who hired North Van-based Ajia Canadian Building Systems to design and build the house and is doing some of the smaller work himself.

The open concept kitchen, dining room and living room make the space feel bigger than it actually is, he tells The Outlook on a tour. Dark hardwood floors and kitchen cabinets are being installed, along with fixtures in the downstairs washroom and laundry area.

Upstairs, the finishing touches are being added to the master bedroom and a smaller room that

could be used as either a nursery or a den. Henderson predicts building a coach house like

this would cost around $250,000. “We had to put in a bay window and an over-

hang to add weight,” says Henderson, referring to City of North Vancouver building codes that regu-late everything from the size of coach houses to their location on the lot to the colour of the trim.

“It can be a long process, you just have to be organized and provide everything [to council] that’s needed so there’s no confusion,” he says while scanning his website northvancoachhouse.com, which chronicles his experience and provides tips to anyone looking to build their own.

For Henderson, building a coach house is an ideal way to maximize use of his land.

“I used to live in a 400-square-foot apartment downtown. When I moved in here, I knew I didn’t need all this space. Why not use it for something useful?”

And, following the lead of Vancouver and other Lower Mainland communities, that’s exactly what the City of North Vancouver is hoping will happen.

With the ever-increasing cost of houses in North Van and the dwindling number of rental units, coach houses are meant to provide alternate, affordable places to live. So far, around 25 have been built in North Van, with more on the way.

“It’s a good investment for us too because it will allow my mother-in-law to move in and be close to us, and it increases our house value,” says Henderson, as landscapers and carpenters maneu-ver around him on the busy construction site.

“I’m lucky to live in a community that allows coach homes to be built.”

Not just a cheap box It took 13 months for David Crawford to get a

permit and go through a public hearing before con-struction of his coach house could begin.

Patience is required for the long application pro-cess, he says, but the end result is worth it.

“You can’t just build a cheap box in your back-yard,” he warns, adding the city of North Van is involved in every step of the process.

“It’s a good investment, but be prepared to spend about $30,000 before you start building for things like architect fees, building permits and upgrading water and sewer supplies.”

Like Henderson, Crawford is building a Level-B Coach House which, unlike Level-A houses, requires a long application process and approv-al from council. Level-B houses are bigger than Level-A houses (up to 1,000 square feet) and can be built 1.6 storeys high.

But these requirements aren’t set in stone. Council approved a 1,490-square-foot coach house in March, the additional space being in the cellar

to house a 10,000-gallon rainwater collection tank. Plans for the coach house faced criticism from the public, some of whom thought the size, which is 490 square feet larger than the guidelines, was too big for the area.

But Crawford’s 1,000-square-foot, two-bedroom, 1.5 bath coach house near Grand Boulevard fits within the guidelines and, he adds, was supported by his close neighbours. It took nine months to complete at a cost of $250,000. He is renting it out for $1,900 a month and plans to have his son even-tually move in, he tells The Outlook, while standing in the lane by the front door.

With shrubs lining the entrance way, complete trim and moldings and a carport, the coach house looks very similar to the main residence, only smaller.

“If you think you can build one easily, you can’t. It’s a long process, but still we’re very lucky to be able to build one,” says Crawford, admiring the fin-ished project which fits into the city’s plans to cre-ate more alternative housing options.

Waiting for approval Not all homeowners on the North Shore, how-

ever, are allowed to build coach houses. The City

of North Vancouver is the only municipality that allows coach houses at this time, so residents in the districts of North and West Van are out of luck.

But this could change in the coming year. North Van district is looking into allowing coach houses, but on a neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood basis.

Compared to the city, the district doesn’t have many lanes to build beside, which is a criteria for building in the city. There are many large lots to build on, however, which the district is considering, says Brian Bydwell, the general manager of plan-ning, properties and permits.

The district’s Official Community Plans calls for a diversity of housing to increase affordability, naming coach houses in particular. By next year, guidelines are expected to be drawn up in response to a number of people who have shown interest, Bydwell adds.

West Van’s Official Community Plan also man-dates more affordable housing options.

“There are either houses or apartments, nothing in between,” says Stephen Mikicich, a senior com-munity planner for the District of West Vancouver.

Two pilot coach house projects were planned but construction never began because of site challeng-es, a neighbour complaint and personal reasons of one the homeowners. Despite setbacks, commu-nity planners expect to present a policy option to council next spring, adds Mikicich, a move council would like to see happen quickly.

“We really need the development community to step up with some projects,” said Mayor Michael Smith, following a unanimous council vote in June in support of exploring coach houses in West Van. Since public consultations have already been done, Smith and other members of council would like coach houses approved as soon as possible.

Henderson and Crawford, the owners of the two coach houses in the City of North Van, are happy to get a head start.

“It’s not cheap to live in North Van, land alone can easily cost $800,000,” says Crawford, flipping through photos of the construction. “Coach houses are a good utilization of land without putting too much strain on the neighbourhood, if they’re done well.”

THE EXPERTS

Ask

With over 27 years of experience in computer sales, service and mainte-nance, Concept Computers is simply the North Shore’s best choice for your computer needs.

“There is no substitute for experi-ence,” says manager Dwight Dubowits. “Whether you are buying your first PC, upgrading, or needing emergency service, the industry is more complex than ever, and getting the right advice is critical .”

Mistakes are easy to make, Dubowits says, and picking technology products based on common misconceptions or persuasive marketing can lead to expensive frustration.

“We’ve seen clients ready to make to-tally wrong decisions," he said. "Often customers will want choose a hardware platform that is absolutely wrong for

the software applications they need to run, all based on things that they had heard from friends and associates, or clever advertising campaigns. We're pretty good at looking at the big pic-ture, and pointing out how needlessly expensive their initial decisions would be."

Dubowits says one of the key differ-ences between specialty independent stores like Concept, and large high-vol-ume retailers, is in the merchandising model itself.

"Let's face it: the high volume outfits need to move a lot of product to stay in business.

"At a specialty operation like Concept Computers, we don't have that kind of overhead pressure. Most of the product we carry is on a 'Just In Time' basis from our suppliers, distributors

with deep pockets and amazing well-stocked warehouses offer-ing a wider variety of products than the biggest retailers carry. If we need it, they get it to us the next day, or sometimes, even the same day.

"This gives us a much freer ability to help the customer select the right product that meets the customer's needs.”

It's all about the right platform, professional set-up and seamless file transfers.

And we've got you covered.

Another difference is in the quality of service offered by specialty operations like Concept.

"We've made it our mission to provide a superior level of service," said Dubow-its.

"Preparation, for example, is a big part of what we do. A lot of customers want - need - more than just a box to carry home. Setting up a new computer is not fun for many people. It takes a lot of time and attention to detail to set up a system so that it runs the way it should. Sometimes it can take hours. We offer that service. I can safely say that a computer system set up by us is a sub-stantially better product than one that is straight out of the box. It's substantially faster, more secure, and easier to use. We take great pride in every system we prepare."

Concept's preparation services can be particularly important to customers wanting to upgrade from their old com-puters into something new - an idea that

Dubowits says strikes fear into many customers.

"There have been horror stories out there," he says. "Customers upgrading to new systems have told us they've lost some and even all their data in the pro-cess, including their documents, photos, music and emails. Our Migration Ser-vice is designed to ensure that won't happen when we upgrade a customer. We take our customer's data files very seriously. In fact, to us, migrating a cus-tomer's files safely to new equipment is the most important thing we do.

"That same passion or perfection ap-plies to the computers we repair; we know a customer's data files is often far more valuable that the hardware itself, so we've become specialists in data re-covery and migration. Of all the things I've done over the past 27 years, it's our success in data recover that gives me the greatest sense of accomplishment.

"There's a lot to be said in being proud of what you do.”

SHARP VISION. SHARP MINDSCataracts are the leading cause of blindness in people 55 and older, but did you know they could also contribute to an increased risk for cognitive decline and dementia?In a study of 625 elderly patients conducted by the University of Michi-gan, those with poor vision who did not receive proper eye care were 9 times more at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and 5 times more at risk for some form of cognitive impairment. In contrast, those participants with good vision had a 63% reduced risk of developing dementia.

Sharp vision and sharp mind seem to go hand-in-hand. Protect both by scheduling a comprehensive eye health examination at Hollyburn Eye Clinic today.

Metro leaders rip TransLink over faulty forecastsDirectors wonder what new missteps await transit system

JEFF NAGELB l a c k P r E s s

TransLink executives took a battering last Friday as Metro Vancouver politicians accused them of making so many faulty fore-

casts that their projections can’t be believed.“How can we even trust TransLink knowing

what’s happened in the past?” asked Richmond Coun. Harold Steves at a regional planning com-mittee meeting where the latest transit expansion plan was under scrutiny.

TransLink has been forced to scrap 300,000 hours of bus service expansion it had planned and

make other cuts after concluding it is hundreds of millions of dollars short of what it needs to deliver its promised plan over the next three years.

The big revenue drains include a $144-million drop in TransLink’s gas tax take from its 17 cent-a-litre levy and an expectation the Golden Ears Bridge will raise $38 million less in tolls from 2013 to 2015.

Steves and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan both said TransLink underestimated how much operat-ing cash flow the Canada Line would consume.

Corrigan said TransLink planners were also “badly wrong” about how many drivers would pay to cross the Golden Ears Bridge after giving assur-ances traffic volumes would be much higher.

“Now the expectations have been consistently reduced every budget and we’re paying more to deal with the Golden Ears Bridge.”

Corrigan said he fears the Evergreen Line to

Coquitlam, opening in 2016, will also eat up more cash than expected because TransLink will have to ensure adequate feeder bus service to the SkyTrain extension.

He said another “time bomb” ticking in TransLink’s future is its obligation to continue the U-Pass service, which was extended to all post-secondary students last year under orders from the province.

That’s put much heavier demand on the bus sys-tem but an agreement where the province has pro-vided aid to help cover the costs expires soon.

Corrigan said if the deal isn’t renegotiated, TransLink will be left “holding the bag” or forced to try to raise U-Pass prices.

TransLink’s plan includes a scaled-back launch of the promised Highway 1 RapidBus service from

continued, PAGE 13


Langley over the new Port Mann Bridge. Instead of terminating at Lougheed Station it will only go to Braid and the buses will run less frequently than the promised 10-minute service at off-peak times.

Corrigan asked why the bus service doesn’t simply connect to SkyTrain at King George Station in Surrey, noting Vancouver-bound high-way buses from South Surrey/White Rock were diverted to Bridgeport Station once the Canada Line opened.

“I have trouble figuring out how these kinds of choices are made,” he said. “Unless it’s the poli-tics of ensuring there’s buses going across the bridge and the optics of the HOV lanes being used.”

TransLink strategic planning vice-president Bob Paddon said a third of the traffic over the bridge exits for Coquitlam and predicted the

Highway 1 buses will be in high demand.“Our analysis says we’ll have a lot of new rid-

ers,” he said. “It will draw from a market that’s not well served by transit today, that is quite car dependent.”

Paddon also rejected Corrigan’s claims TransLink staff haven’t done enough to fight for improvements.

He said TransLink advanced revenue ideas like a vehicle levy or road pricing that were ulti-mately blocked by the province.

“Unfortunately it has not been fruitful,” Paddon said. “I am hopeful we can get back to that discussion.”

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese, who backs the Highway 1 bus plan, cautioned Corrigan not to dwell on the past.

“Our region’s in danger of stalling,” Froese said. “We’re not going to have the infrastructure in place as the population comes along.”

The committee isn’t endorsing TransLink’s

new base plan, saying it doesn’t do enough to support Metro’s regional growth strategy.

It does recommend Metro’s board continue to push for new funding streams for TransLink as well as reform of its governance system.

Area mayors are expected to ask TransLink to give them a formal vote to rescind a $30-million property tax increase slated for the next two years.

TransLink would then have to spell out what services would be cut to make up the lost rev-enue and embark on detailed consultations that could drag into early next year, Paddon said.

Corrigan said he expects the cuts TransLink will table will be calculated to “drive the public crazy” and put intense pressure on the mayors to cave in and keep the tax hike in place.

“It’s an end game they’re playing, saying ‘We dare you to take this money away.’”

Canada’s ‘only art gallery for young audiences’ ready to open in North Van

Calling itself “the first gallery in the country dedicated to young audiences,” the Gordon

Smith Gallery of Canadian Art wants to go beyond the cutting edge of the art world when it opens its doors Saturday in North Vancouver.

And it has the support of some of Canada’s most forward-thinking artists to do so.

When patrons visit the gallery for the first time this weekend — through doors carved by interna-tionally recognized Squamish carv-er, Xwalacktun — they’ll see new works from Maritime painter David Blackwood, photos by Ontario land-scape artist Edward Burtynsky and a sculpture by the North Shore’s own Douglas Coupland.

While many of the works were bought by the gallery, many more were donated by the artists them-selves.

“It’s a teaching collection,” said Daylen Luchsinger, the program facilitator for gallery operator Artists for Kids. “When artworks are acquired, part of our mandate is we acquire based on not just what’s going on in the art world but also what we can teach with them.”

Existing on the North Shore for more than two decades, the non-profit Artists for Kids will have its first permanent and fully pub-lic gallery when the new exhibi-tion space in the North Vancouver School District building at 2121 Lonsdale Ave. opens this weekend.

“We’re different from the Vancouver Art Gallery who just try to stay on the cutting edge,” Luchsinger said. “We do that too while trying to cater to the K-12 age group.”

Named for West Vancouver visu-al artist Gordon A. Smith, whose donations of time and money to Artists for Kids have in part made the program possible, the new gallery will seek to connect with kids through its collection without dumbing down the works of serious “grown-up” artists.

One example of this is Coupland’s

life-sized sculpture of a green army man toy called Green Soldier No. 1. The piece explores themes of war, mass-production and fractured emo-tions, while remaining accessible to those kids and young adults who grew up playing with plastic army men or watching them in the Toy Story movies, Luchsinger says.

The gallery opening runs Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m with some artists in attendance. Following the opening, the gallery will be open to the public by dona-tion from noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday.

Café by Tao is out to prove raw vegan cuisine is much more than rabbit food.

The most popular item on the menu is “The Real Lasagna,” layers of zucchini noodles, marinara sauce, nut cheese, spinach and marinated mushrooms that’s “guaranteed to make even a carnivore drool.”

Or there’s the Rawkin’ Pizza made with a wheat-free sprouted buckwheat crust topped with dill nut cheese, sweet chili sauce, chiffonade kale, julienne carrots, cau-liflower fleurettes and mushrooms.

Agat Mathieu, the restaurant’s owner, learned to cook from her mother, who always took pride in the texture, taste and presentation of food. Although she grew up eating meat, eggs, cheese and milk — a far cry from a raw vegan diet — Mathieu applies the same cooking principles to her “raw food masterpieces.”

She prepares the organic entrées, smoothies and des-serts on site and sells all the ingredients to make the meals at home.

The quaint restaurant, hidden behind offices at the corner of Semisch Avenue and West Esplanade in North Vancouver, opened in March as an offshoot of Mathieu’s business selling Tao Organic food products to North Shore clients.

“Some people are skeptical at first, but after they try it, they come back and tell their friends,” Mathieu tells The Outlook while preparing a few of her signature cre-ations. She places a crêpe filled with walnuts, raisins and maple syrup on the table. It looks exactly like the traditional dessert, the batter made with a mixture of coconut meat, apples, golden flax seed, dates and cin-namon.

Besides being delicious, Mathieu says eating raw food has enormous health benefits. Since food heated above 180 degrees Fahrenheit loses essential enzymes, she says not cooking food is the healthier way to go.

Fighting off disease is easier because the body isn’t forced to use its own enzymes to digest food, she adds.

While meat and eggs were once on the list for Mathieu, she switched her diet nine years ago after a friend gave her a book about the benefits of eating raw. She says severe arthritis in her hands disappeared soon after.

“Vegan food isn’t just salad. There’s no reason it shouldn’t taste great and be fun to eat,” says Mathieu, spreading creamy nut cheese (made with sprouted almonds, macadamia and pine nuts, onion, celery and dill) onto wheat-free crackers.

It shouldn’t mean giving up treats either, she adds. She has 10 desserts including a sugar-free cake, made with raw chocolate on a banana and walnut crust. Or try the Maqui cake sweetened with deep-purple Chilean wine berries.

Tao (pronounced dow) is a Chinese word meaning “the path,” one Mathieu hopes even hesitant carnivores will try.

Café by Tao, located at 120-260 West Esplanade, is open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day.

overcame his detractors big time. And it turns out that he did have some hockey knowledge.

Had he ever skated before coming to Canada? “Oh yeah, absolutely,” he responds. “I skated when

I was a kid in Milwaukee. When the Milwaukee River

used to freeze over that’s when we all went and skated. And we did tobogganing and sleighing and things like that. But I moved to California when I was 11 years old.

“But I can tell you this: when I came to Canada I went to the old Forum to watch the Canucks in the Western Hockey League and I can still remember many of the play-ers. I took to the game immediately. I loved it. I was so impressed with what a hockey player could do on skates. You know, the skill level of having a stick in your hand to handle the puck, skate at 25 to 30 miles per hour, or whatever it is, and combine that artistry and high

skill level to play the game with bodily contact. That’s why I call it the best spectator sport in the world. I mean, really, think about it.”

Unfortunately, thinking about it is all we can do right now while NHL players and owners attempt to stickhandle their way through yet another stalemate during labour negotiations.

According to reports, following a face-to-face meet-ing last weekend, the two sides “are expected to keep in touch by phone over the coming days.” Perhaps they need Larscheid to get on the line. He’s had that experience on the phone. And he’ll tell it like it is. Plus he’s a hockey guy now so there won’t be any men-tion of Grey Cup rings.

This is episode 468 from Len Corben’s trea-sure chest of stories – the great events and the quirky – that bring to life the North Shore’s rich sports history.

were discussing doing something on their own.

To get just the right flavour, the brew crew at Bridge had plenty of tastings with friends, family and industry folks.

There are many taste-changing variables when it comes to making beer: from the yeast and hops to different grains to tem-perature and the fermentation process.

“Every little piece plays into it,” they say of the 12-hour brewing process which is fol-lowed by three to four weeks of fermenta-tion.

Finally, they nailed it. “That was a good day,” recalls Stratton, a

big smile on his face.Better still was the day when the trio

recently sat inside El Matador and ordered three Bridge beers on tap.

That night, Leigh Stratton bumped into a former high school classmate at the tapas restaurant.

“I think I’m drinking your beer!” the friend enthused.

“It’s quite rewarding,” says Doré about creating North Shore Pale.

Next up? Later this week, Doré is plan-ning to brew a winter seasonal.

The West Vancouver Spuraways put up a relentless fight to claim the Provincial Cup this summer, defeating teams from

around the province and ultimately winning the final game against Victoria 3-0.

After defeating tough oppo-nents from the Fraser Valley and the Interior, the Spuraways were pitted against the Island cham-pion from the Lake Hill Soccer Association in Victoria for the Provincial Cup.

“The Spuraways held true to form and dominated the match from start to finish, utilizing all 18 rostered players,” the team’s coach Steve Dewar told The Outlook over the phone.

“We practiced hard all summer for this and in the end we made it.”

The road to the Provincial Cup began when the U17 4 District Gold Division team was promoted to the U18 Gold Division.

After winning the North Shore

District Championship and the Coastal Cup, the team finally made it to the Provincial Cup.

The key to the team’s success? Besides talent, Dewar said it’s important to give everyone on the team as much practice time as possible.

Fuel tax transfers stack up faster than TransLink

spends it

JEFF NAGELB l a c k P r E s s

More than $280 million in fed-eral gas tax that is supposed to flow to TransLink is sitting

unused and Metro Vancouver politi-cians now want some of it to go to building bike lanes.

Since 2005, Ottawa has handed back to TransLink at least half of the 10 cents a litre of gas tax it col-

lects within the Metro region and the money has helped finance hundreds of new and replacement buses and SkyTrain cars.

But TransLink is only allowed to spend the resulting fund on certain types of projects – mainly vehicles – and with its capital spending con-strained, the transferred federal gas

tax money is stacking up faster than it’s being spent.

An extra $122 million will flow in this year, lifting the total to more than $400 million.

“We want to be able to spend that money reducing our carbon footprints with cycling infrastructure around the region,” Burnaby Mayor Derek

Corrigan said.But the federal gov-

ernment two years ago removed bike-related projects as an allowed use of the gas tax transfers.

Metro’s regional planning committee voted Friday to urge area cities to lobby Ottawa to reinstate that use.

“It’s more consis-tent with the green agenda for the gas tax dollars,” Corrigan said.

TransLink strategic planning and public affairs vice-president Bob Paddon said it was unfortunate the federal government disallowed cycling spending.

But he rejected suggestions the gas tax money will go to waste, noting it is carried over each year and TransLink has more eligible spending in the works.

This year TransLink is apply-ing to use $123 mil-lion from the fund to replace hundreds of older buses, com-munity shuttles and HandyDarts over the next three years.

The federal gas tax transfer is separate from the 17 cents a litre in tax that TransLink directly levies on each litre of fuel sold in Metro Vancouver.

TransLink’s cur-rently proposed three-year base plan would pare back the amount of money going to cycling upgrades around the region.

Living Well Reduces Breast Cancer Risk Breast cancer is a complex disease with no known single cause. Every day we make choices that influence our health. With busy lives and demands on our time, making healthier choices can seem like a challenge. Yet even small changes in your lifestyle—or gradual ones—will benefit your breast health, help to reduce your breast cancer risk, and improve your overall health and well-being. Without knowing it, the way you live may increase or reduce your risk of developing breast cancer.Key ways to reduce your breast cancer risk are: • Being a healthier weight • Having a more balanced diet • Getting regular physical activity • Quitting smoking–or never starting • Limiting the amount of alcohol you drink

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a North Shore woman details her

story of survival

MARIA SPITALE-LEISKC O N T R I B U T O R

North Van resident Yumi White has been living with stage four breast cancer for a decade.

She has never had chemotherapy; her oncologist opted to treat her cancer with hormone therapy instead.

White didn’t question him. She’d been given a year to live and living with the debilitating effects of chemotherapy was not an option.

“[Hormone therapy] was the right decision for me because I’m still here,” says the graphic designer.

It was her husband Greg who found the lumps in her breasts. There was no other indication that she was battling an internal disease.

White promptly went to her family doctor who ordered a biopsy. In the radiologist’s office, where her cancer diagnosis was confirmed, she says she was killed mentally.

“That was the day I didn’t know where I was or who I was,” recalls White of that ominous, cold day in May.

Cancer aside, physically she was not shaken. White had always con-sidered herself a couch potato but post-diagnosis she started running, dragon boating and doing the Grouse Grind, which is challenging enough for people in optimal health.

Two years later, she learned the cancer had metastasized into her lungs. In the same breath, White’s oncologist diagnosed with her with unrelated cervical cancer.

The cancer has continued to spread over the years, most recently to her bones, but it’s manageable with radiation and hormone ther-apy.

“So it is still kind of happening, but maybe [the cancer] grows very slowly in my case or the [hormone therapy] helps slow down the progression,” figures White.

An annual participant in The Weekend to End Breast Cancer, White’s team, Livestrong, has raised $250,000 over six years for breast cancer research.

The money supports ground-breaking research at the BC Cancer Agency where scientists recently found a significant connection between a natural enzyme — CA9 — and the life-threatening spread of breast cancer.

These scientists have collaborated with a medici-nal chemistry group in Florence, Italy, where they developed two drugs that block the function of CA9.

Preparing the drugs for clinic-based testing will requires 18-24 months of toxicology testing before they could potentially be introduced in a phase- one clinical trial.

White was 38 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She has lost two close friends who succumbed to the disease but she remains positive.

“Doctors were treating women [with breast can-cer] in the same way, with the same medication 10 years ago,” says White. “I’m always interested in hearing about new [research] discoveries.”

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Canadian Cancer Society estimates 23,000 women in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 5,000 women will die from the disease in 2011. For more info, visit www.cancer.ca/british columbia-yukon.aspx.
