TODD COYNES T a f f R e p O R T e R

A former North Vancouver first nation chief won a medal of merit from

the Queen via the Governor General on Friday, a day that saw strained relations between first nations, the federal gov-ernment and the Crown reach a tipping point in Ottawa.

By Friday, the Idle No More protest movement had seeming-ly achieved its goal of bringing aboriginal leaders together for a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Governor General David Johnston. But by then political rifts within the movement and among some first nation chiefs were casting seri-ous doubts about whether any common ground would be found between the two sides.

It was in this climate that for-mer Vancouver mayor, Senator Larry Campbell, bestowed the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for outstanding service upon Tsleil-Waututh Nation elder Leonard George.

And while George graciously accepted the honour in North Vancouver Friday afternoon, even calling it “the highlight of my life,” three high-profile Canadians, who were them-selves would-be recipients, rejected their medals, saying the move was in solidarity with the nationwide Idle No More pro-tests.

Musician Sarah Slean and author-activist Naomi Klein took to Twitter Friday to publicly refuse the Queen’s medal, while

Council of Canadians chair Maude Barlow issued a press release declining her award.

Both George and the senator applauded the motives of the women in refusing the honour, while not necessarily agreeing with their method.

“I think that’s a wonderful gesture for those people to make this statement,” George told The Outlook following his own medal ceremony at the Tsleil-Watuth Nation community cen-tre. “But I think that the more first nations people like myself get recognized for the significant work they do in Canada, it helps raise the profile and bring a bet-ter understanding and a better relationship between us and the Canadian people.”

Campbell for the most part agreed, saying he appreciated the spirit of the stunt but felt it may have been slightly off the mark.

Unions call on government to cancel foreign SeaBus contract

» NEWS

TODD COYNES T a f f R e p O R T e R

The B.C. Federation of Labour is calling on the federal and provincial governments to cancel a TransLink decision to buy a foreign-built SeaBus, saying the transit provider ignored

millions in federal funding assistance that could have given a local builder the edge on winning the contract.

The provincial labour federation last week joined the BC Shipworkers’ Federation in asking the government to block TransLink’s awarding of the new SeaBus contract to the Dutch-based Damen Shipyards Group, whose $25-million bid for the work beat out a $27-million bid from North Vancouver’s Allied Shipbuilders.

Damen is expected to build the new ferry in Singapore, a move that will cost British Columbians more than $25 million in lost jobs and eco-nomic spinoffs, the unions claim.

The deal marks the first time in the ferry service’s 36-year history that one of its boats will be built off B.C.’s shores.

Shipworkers’ union president George MacPherson said Thursday that TransLink rejected “out of hand” millions in federal funding which could have made the difference in Allied winning the bid.

But it’s a claim TransLink spokesman Derek Zabel flatly denied.“That is something we took a look into,” Zabel told The Outlook, noting

that 90 per cent of TransLink’s cost for the new SeaBus will already be paid for through the Federal Gas Tax Fund.

That leaves only 10 per cent of the boat’s cost eligible for the federal assistance program, Zabel said.

“It only would have saved us under $5,000,” he added. “The Damen con-tract saves us $2 million, so it’s still far greater.”

Still, president of the B.C. Federation of Labour, Jim Sinclair, called Ottawa’s decision not to insist on a Canadian builder for the new SeaBus “astonishing,” especially in light of the government’s insistence on going local for its $8-billion navy and coast guard ship procurement program last year.

“Why build Canadian for some projects and give the jobs away on oth-ers with the same taxpayer dollars?” Sinclair said.

Both MacPherson and Sinclair said it’s not too late for TransLink to do the right thing and reverse the decision on Damen.

But from TransLink’s standpoint, there’s no looking back, Zabel said.“It’s a legal process.”

New year, new attitudeBeware – laziness and lack of motivation can scuttle your healthy resolutions

SHEILA REYNOLDS and EVAN SEALB L A c k P r E S S

It’s a new year, and now it’s time for a new lifestyle.Black Press has partnered with Kin’s Farm Market to launch

the Green Fighters Challenge in 13 communities in the Lower Mainland, including the North Shore, which will follow participants over several months as they change their life and get healthy. One person will be chosen from each participating community to make a change and win prizes. The grand prize will be a cruise for two from Cruise Experts. It will be awarded at the end of the 13-week contest. However, one Green Fighter will win a prize each week during weekly challenges. But it’s not just the participants who will be able to win. Canadian Tire will provide prizes for readers as well as the challeng-ers as part of their commitment to healthy living, and you are encour-aged to check out the Green Fighters website to follow the partici-pants’ progress and share your thoughts about how you are eating bet-ter and getting fit for 2013.

The Canadian Cancer Society has noted that changing just one thing about your life, whether it’s eating more vegetables or quitting smoking, can reduce your cancer risk. Kin’s Farm Market is pleased to be able to provide fruits and vegetables to the participants in the Green Fighters Challenge, as well as produce to every customer that will put you on the road for achieving your New Year’s resolution and a healthier lifestyle in general. The Green Fighters site will regularly include recipes, special offers and tips for making a change, whether it’s to your diet or fitness level.

The year 2013 is shaping up to be one of change for UBC student Ben Duenas.

After spending most of his days during the last few years in a classroom, the chemical engineering student is looking to make some changes in his life.

“While going to school full time, I didn’t have time to exercise,” said Duenas. “I’ve made it my New Year’s resolution to get out there and try new things.”

The 23-year-old, who was cooling down after a short workout at Bear Creek Park in Surrey, also wants to rev up his social life.

“I’ve been sitting in class far too long, so I just signed up for jiu-jitsu (a Japanese martial art) and ballroom dancing,” Duenas said. “I hope to meet new people outside the classroom.”

For Sukhmani Pannu, also 23, getting in shape and staying that way has become her goal for this year. She has already made some changes to the way she eats.

“I found that I used to have a meal around 6:30 or 7 p.m. every night, but now I eat earlier, around 5 p.m. and then have a small salad.”

The strategy seems to be working, Pannu said, as she’s already dropped 20 pounds.

A recent poll of Lower Mainland residents, however, shows Duenas and Pannu may be in the minority.

Results of an Ipsos Reid survey (commissioned by Fitness Town Surrey) released last month indicate just 14 per cent of people actual-ly made New Year’s fitness-related resolutions last year. And of those who did, about two-thirds stuck to them.

Those who abandoned their healthy plans listed lack of motivation, laziness and lack of time as their top reasons for abandoning their good intentions.

When asked what would motivate them to continue with keep-fit resolutions, survey respondents said having more time would help, as would personal support from a trainer or nutritionist, or having some-one to work out with. Other people said more money – to buy equip-ment or for a gym membership – might prompt them to exercise, as would a better schedule (such as a more flexible work timetable) or having a regular schedule or fitness program created for them.

When asked how often they engage in sports or other exercise, just 20 per cent of poll respondents said they exercised between five and seven times a week, while 40 per cent said two to four times a week was average for them. About four per cent said they never exercise.

Of those who do exercise, almost 70 per cent agreed they do so to lose weight.

Also included in the survey results were questions about eating during the Christmas holidays. While 71 per cent admit they overin-dulged, 63 per cent said they felt guilty about it.

Other figures indicated the holiday season and its overabundance of turkey dinners and desserts have had a clear impact on the urge to get back on a healthy path.

Fifty-five per cent of those polled said they were inspired to get fit right before the holidays, an impulse that dropped by about 11 per cent during the holidays. However, more than 73 per cent of respon-dents said they were wanted to get fit right after the holiday season.

For Pannu, it doesn’t matter what the statistics show, she said she just wants to get healthy – and look good. “I want to be a fitness train-er, so I need to have a six-pack,” she said, laughing.

North Van entrepreneur rides into the Dragons’ Den

» COFFEE WITH

Michael DeVisser pitches his high-performance electric bike

Growing up, Michael DeVisser lived at the top of a steep hill in North Vancouver.

That made him always dread his bike ride home from school.

Years later, while working in Beijing, he discovered a solution to conquering the hilly topography of his hometown that didn’t require bionic legs: a pedal-assisted electric bike.

Electric bikes were ubiquitous on the busy streets of China’s capital city and DeVisser, who studied business, saw an untapped mar-ket in North America for enviro-friendly elec-tric bikes.

But he figured simply importing Chinese-designed electric bikes wouldn’t work. The frames weren’t the right size and the motors wouldn’t be strong enough for the steep slopes here.

“Vancouver and Seattle have steeper hills than most areas,” explains DeVisser, 38.

He needed to custom design a bike with high-performance components for the North American market.

So he started OHM Cycles in 2005. Since then, he’s come up with a specialized bike design and the family-run company has been steadily gaining traction ever since, even win-ning an award in 2009 for the bike’s custom battery enclosure.

And now, DeVisser hopes to grow his bike biz by increasing inventory and opening more retail locations in Canada and the United States.

To do that, he’s hoping for some help from the deep-pocketed business moguls on the hit CBC show Dragons’ Den.

For the uninitiated, here’s the premise of the show: entrepreneurs make a pitch to a panel of five multimillionaire tycoons with the hope of making strategic business partner-ships. There’s no shortage of drama.

Many aspiring entrepreneurs have their ideas skewered on national TV by the often blunt-speaking Dragons, while others walk off the stage with new investors and renewed vigour.

DeVisser’s pitch to the Dragons was made last May.

It was a little nerve-racking waiting to enter the den, but once it was his turn to make a pitch he felt confident.

“I felt pretty prepared. Our business was already estab-lished so that was an advan-tage,” he says.

Plus, the company was coming off a strong year in which they sold out of inventory, sell-ing 200 units at the average price of $3,500 per bike.

Goal for year five of the company is to double the units sold and expand their retail outlets, he says. OHM Cycles already has 17 dealers in Canada and the U.S., including Vancouver, Ottawa Montreal, Seattle, San Francisco, New England and New York.

And there are no shortage of selling fea-tures for the bikes — from assisting riders in tackling steep hills to reducing commuter travel time to helping slower cyclists keep pace with stronger riders to allowing seniors to continue with their bike-riding passion.

Also, he notes, because the bikes are pedal-assisted — not fully motorized — you can still get as much exercise as you want by choosing from the four levels of pedal assistance. Most of all, they’re really fun to ride, he says. It’s kind of in between riding a bike and motorbike.

“[It’s] a pretty unique feeling,” he says.Of course, an appearance on the Dragons’

Den is never without surprises, like when the show’s resident curmudgeon, Kevin O’Leary, hopped on a bike for a test ride and began cir-cling around, peppering him with questions about his business.

His appearance lasted around 40 minutes. “Once I got out there I calmed down a bit

and I was really happy with my performance.”But then he had to wait until December to

learn that his episode was going to air. “I’d pretty much given up.”Since then he’s had to remain tight-lipped

about the outcome of his appearance. “Eight months not being able to tell any-one,” he says.

He will finally be able to break his silence this Monday (Jan. 20) after his episode airs at 8 p.m. on CBC.

“I’m saddened but I understand that when you reach the level of frustration with the govern-ment that first nations have, and obviously the lack of trust with the government, there are very few ways which you can express your disappoint-ment and certainly this is one,” Campbell told The Outlook.

“I’m saddened because really the government has nothing to do with this medal; it’s the Queen who presented it. But it’s sad and it should be a wakeup call to this government that they have to deal with the first nations in a trustful, respectful manner, and they aren’t doing it.”

In his speech to the Tsleil-Waututh nation mem-bers, Campbell said all Canadians would be in “a much better place” if politicians in Ottawa made it a habit of listening to the likes of George.

“Chief George has taken his community on an incredible march forward,” Campbell explained, rattling off just some of the ways the elder’s economic and spiritual guidance have enriched the Tsleil-Waututh Nation.

“This is a nation that is peaceful with the nations around it,” Campbell added. “The prime minister would do well to think of the word, peaceful.”

Campbell nominated George for the Jubilee Award, having first met the Tsleil-Waututh leader in the 1970s, when the senator was then an RCMP officer in North Vancouver.

Music, however, was in full swing and, as far as one young man was concerned, it was about to change his life forever. Dal Richards, known across Canada as the consummate band leader, turned 95 years young on Jan. 5. The overall celebration however simply could not be confined to just one day as Dal and his wife Muriel have made several appearances at various events across the city. One of the most glamorous events was held last Sunday night as friends and well-wishers from all across the land came out to wish Dal well at the nostalgic “The Roof” venue. Located at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, it was an evening of live music, good food and fabulous memories which ended with Dal himself singing his signature favourite song — “As Time Goes By.”Needless to say, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Happy Birthday Dal!

New digs and a new lifeline for North Shore Rescue Metro Vancouver’s mountain search and rescue team moves house and seeks donors as it enters a new era of life-saving work

» COVER STORY

Smack in the midst of one of the most gruelling mountain-rescue seasons on record, Tim Jones, the leader of North Shore Rescue, is

coordinating one of the biggest operations in the outfit’s 40-year history.

The 45-member team is moving house, to a brand new dedicated NSR operations base on the new City of North Vancouver works yard.

Nursing an injury after the long and arduous overnight rescue of a snowshoer on Hollyburn Mountain, Jones nonetheless limps around the new building, playing host on the eve of the big move-in day.

The new space is vast and will be well-equipped, especially when compared to the old NSR base — a cold and cramped ga-rage on a corner of the former city opera-tions yard on West Second Street.

“In a typical search operation we use about 6,000 feet of rope, and all of it has to be dried and packaged after — all of the rope-rescue kits, all of the care kits — and the vehicle itself has to be re-equipped,” Jones explains. “And before, we were doing

all that in the pouring rain. Now, with this maintenance facility, the vehicle will be inside in the bay, the maintenance room is right beside it and the drying racks are right beside it.”

The new site will also boast a special rappel-training wall topped with a rope-rescue catwalk high in the rafters above the truck bays. It’ll be a huge upgrade for the team and the new skills it will afford come not a moment too soon.

“The only reason we got to that guy on the weekend is we rappelled in,” Jones says, explaining how he injured his leg while leading a rescue team in a vertical rope descent down a frozen waterfall. “And a lot of the guys refused do it — they just didn’t have the experience.”

The new infrastructure goes a long way to filling that training gap, Jones says. But, like everything in the new facility, it comes with a hefty price tag. A recently installed communications antenna, for instance, came in at a whopping $75,000.

Once outfitted with all the mod cons, the new base will ring the register to the tune

of $1.5 million. Of that, about $900,000

will have come from the three North Shore municipalities, leaving a $600,000 tab for North Shore Rescue and its benefactors, such as the West Vancouver Community Foun-dation.

Despite the cost, Jones says the new digs are a necessity and will ease the stress on NSR volunteers during pro-longed rescues.

“Now we can shift the com-mand centre off the mountain and bring it down here,” he says, standing in the new base’s main operations room. “The reason we’d want to do that is here you’d have a com-mand centre where the guys can actually rest and not have to worry about all these ex-ternal pressures being put on them from their families and other things.”

Adjacent to the opera-tions command room, which features a wall-sized map of the whole North Shore and improved real-time communi-cations equipment, a kitchen and rest area will allow rescu-ers in overnight operations to spell each other off for some much-needed R and R before going back out into the field.

Off the other wing of the command centre, there’s a much smaller room, though

equally important. Tentatively titled the “leg-

acy fund command post,” the room is not much bigger than a walk-in closet, but it’s where the future of North Shore Res-cue can be found.

“This is where we’re going to be launching our legacy endowment fund for $5 mil-lion,” the NSR leader says. “Our plans are to work with a professional fundraiser and we’re going to try and target wealthy people in the com-munity who can help us out because this legacy fund is absolutely essential to the team’s future.”

It’s one of the few rooms in the new facility that will be staffed almost daily, Jones says, as he anticipates person-ally working the phones to secure a sustainable bank roll to keep the all-volunteer NSR squad in business.

“This legacy fund is not a convenience, it’s a vital element to our survival as a team,” Jones says. “We just can’t keep doing it the way we’ve been doing it, in the long-term.”

Rockridge’s music program hits a high note

» ARTS

MICHAELA GARSTIN S t A f f R E p o R t E R

The music program at Rockridge second-ary rivals any in the school district, says director Ian Brown.

“We don’t want to take second place to any school in the district, public or private,” he says proudly of his Grade 8 to 12 band students.

Brown’s goal is to increase enthusiasm about learning music while giving students role mod-els to look up to.

“I work on as high a level of music that the kids can do,” he tells The Outlook, adding it’s vital for professional musicians to visit the classes.

Last Friday, as part of a program with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, around 100 students went to the symphony’s rehearsal at the Orpheum Theatre downtown and will see an actual performance this week.

The program also included visits from musi-cians from VSO, who taught the band selections such as “Night on Bald Mountain” by Modest Mussorgsky.

“By participating in these kinds of programs, they want to play at a high level and their goals and objectives are much clearer as a result,” says Brown.

But a love of music starts earlier than high school.

That’s why Brown started the Rockridge Zone Concert Band, which brings elementary stu-dents together with his classes to learn what band is like in high school.

“I think the process of learning music is very similar to learning sports because skills are learned only by practicing,” Brown explains.

“The students learn teamwork because they have to work individually and be precise as a

team at the same time.” But keeping kids interested in music can be

difficult, says Brown, with the increasing use of technology in and out of the classroom. Music, which involves face-to-face interaction, is a “socially vibrant activity where kids grow a lot,” he adds.

Each year, five or six students go on to learn music at university.

Former Rockridge students are now at UBC, SFU, Capilano University and the Berklee College of Music in Boston, one of the top music schools in North America.

But the skills learned by band students go beyond music.

“Even if their jobs have nothing to do with music, what they learn is very important in life,” Brown explains. “Employers have discov-ered those students who study music are good at teamwork and complicated task.”

Rockridge’s next performance is the annual Jazz Café on Feb. 2, where the audience will eat traditional New Orleans food. For more infor-mation, visit rockridgemusic.wordpress.com

MICHAELA GARSTINS t A f f R E p o R t E R

Haggis anyone? It’s made of sheep’s pluck

(heart, liver and lungs), minced onion, oatmeal, suet and spices all tra-ditionally encased in an animal’s stom-ach, then simmered for three hours. (Nowadays, many people put the ingre-dients in a sausage casing rather than an actual stomach.)

For a chance to try haggis, stop by the Two Lions Public House in North Vancouver on Friday, Jan. 25 to cel-ebrate Scotland’s most famous poet, Robbie Burns.

It was Burns who made haggis the national dish of Scotland, thanks to his poem Address to a Haggis, written in 1787.

The Two Lions opened this week in the old location of Mosquito Creek Bar & Grill in Westview, but a lot has changed.

The pub will be serving comfort food — pizza, chili cheese fries, burgers, nachos — along with healthier options like a club house wrap or Kung Pao veggie stirfry, all served in “big por-tions.”

Seven local beers, such as Russell Blood Alley Bitter and Stanley Park Amber Ale, are part of the 12-beer selection on tap.

“The atmosphere will be different than Mosquito Creek,” explains Steve Jennings, owner of the pub, as he walks through the renovated restau-rant. “We’re looking after the crowd that was here before, but we also want to attract the business crowd that used to come here.”

Jennings also owns the Narrows Pub in North Van, the London Pub in Chinatown and is a partner in the Manchester Public Eatery on Broadway. Before setting out on his own, he was director of the Donnelly Group, which owns pubs and nightclubs in Vancouver.

It’s not only the food that’s changed at his latest venture in North Van. The inside of the restaurant was completely torn out, replaced with a more sophisticated pub look.

The bar is now open from all sides, so no more waiting in a long line for a drink. The murals high on the wall are replaced with daily specials, including $14 Bud pitchers and $10 pizzas to share on Tuesdays and

Sundays. “We offer really good comfort food,” says

Jennings, taking a break from overseeing construction. “The North Shore used to be so vibrant, but then it leveled off. We need something like this here.”

Live music will include Joe’s Garage, a band that’s played at the Roxy for the last 15 years, SideOne and Phoenix. The popular Thursday karaoke nights are here to stay.

The Two Lions Pub is geared toward the 30- to 45-year-old crowd, but don’t worry, the pool table is staying, along with the addition of darts and pinball.

Wear a kilt to the Two Lions on Jan. 25 for Robbie Burns night to win a prize. For more information, go to facebook.com/thi-sistwolions or follow them on Twitter @TwoLionsPub.

Ian McDonald became

passionate about wrestling after witnessing

Japan’s high school all-star

team compete at Carson Graham

in 1973. Derek Sidenius photo

Wrestling’s main manIan McDonald’s love of wrestling began with Japan’s 1973 tour

» inStant rePLaY

Ian McDonald has been North Shore wrestling’s main man for a long time.

It was exactly 40 years ago on Jan. 16-17, 1973, that an outstanding all-star team of Japanese high school wres-tlers visited the North Shore, completely overwhelming the local opposition. The boys from Japan came out on top in all 20 bouts contested at Carson Graham and West Vancouver.

Yet, oddly enough, despite the losses, it was actually wrestling on the North Shore – and B.C. as a whole – that turned out to be the real win-

ners after all.You see, among the crowd

that squeezed into Carson Graham’s old gym on that first of two nights to witness the pick of North Shore wres-tlers challenge the very best in all of Japan, was a Grade 10 student from now-long-gone Hamilton Jr. Secondary

by the name of Ian McDonald. It would not be long before his impact on wrestling would be felt big time.

McDonald wasn’t a mem-ber of coach Terry Shaw’s Hamilton wrestling team, though he had tried the sport in Shaw’s P.E. class. He was a basketball player then which is a bit of a hoot considering the tee-shirt (see next-page photo) he now sometimes wears. However, witnessing the athleticism of the Japanese wrestlers impressed McDonald so much that neither he nor

wrestling here would ever be the same.

Ian wrestled at Carson Graham and then four years at SFU as a two-time Western Canada open champion and a fifth-place finisher in the nationals at 62 kilos (that’s 137 pounds for the metrically challenged).

In 1985, he embarked on a teaching and coaching career at Balmoral and now Carson Graham where his presence has featured some impressive achievements in coaching and promoting the mat sport.

Over the past three decades McDonald has turned the sport upside down. (Okay, I enjoy plays on words as much as McDonald loves to poke fun with his shirt). Actually, change that to downside up because it’s been all positive stuff.

Len [email protected]

www.northshoreoutlook.com Thursday, January 17, 2013 15www.northshoreoutlook.com Thursday, January 17, 2013 15

He’s coached almost 40 wres-tlers who have won medals in national championships at one age level or another. He’s reluctant to single out the best of the bunch but Justin Kapil, son Pat McDonald, Shannon Samler, Emily Richardson and Ashley McKilligan are certain-ly notable.

McDonald founded and is president of the Capilano Wrestling Club (organized in 1985 and formally registered in 1990) which goes year round. He’s been wrestling league chair for the North Shore Secondary Schools’ Athletic Association for the past 19 years and the com-missioner of B.C. high school wrestling since 2008.

He was the main man in the development and promotion of girls wrestling in B.C. schools beginning in 1989.

With Barry Callaghan the head coach at Carson Graham beginning in 1982 – and with McDonald feeding Carson with Balmoral wrestlers – the Eagles won four B.C. high school team championships and also had one second in the six years between 1990 and 1995.

The meet involved boys only then, though an invitational meet for girls spurred by McDonald’s promotion was held those years and became official in 1996.

Since 2004, Carson Graham has won the B.C. girls’ team title six times and Balmoral once. In 2008 they finished one-two.

McDonald has taken wres-tling teams to Japan and he’s hosted the Japanese here. And it all started because of that 1973

meet. “The meet had been advertised

in The Citizen,” Ian was reminisc-ing the other day. “My dad saw it and said ‘It’s just up the street. Let’s go.’ It was a dark January evening. What else are you going to do? He liked combatives. Why not get out and do something with one of his boys. So we went; just me and my dad. I remember being enthralled by watching the Japanese team warm up. It was something to behold.

“Ken Favero [who won the B.C. high school heavyweight title that season] and Harvey Marshall were wrestling for Carson Graham then. It was purely a North Shore team [against Japan] and it wasn’t

MICHAELA GARSTINS t A f f W r I t E r

It’s easy to toss a couple batteries into the garbage because, unlike cardboard and pop cans, they’re small enough that no one will notice.

But a group of West Vancouver high school students is working hard to make people think twice about not recy-cling.

Last year, the club collected 1,750 pounds of batteries from 10 apartment buildings, the West Van library, seniors centres and grocery stores. As a result of the program, West Van residents are now recycling batteries about dou-ble the national average.

“Sometimes it’s not convenient to recycle batteries, and we’ve found we need to make it easy,” said Jessie Lin from

West Van secondary’s Recycling Club.

Batteries can’t be added to household recycling bins along with paper, plastic bottles and cans. And it turns out most people aren’t willing to travel far to recy-cle, Lin said, so boxes in apartment lobbies work best.

A discarded battery, said club member Joanne Fernando, can cause a whole square metre of soil to become unusable forever. Batteries contain five heavy metals that leach into the soil and ground-water, making them more toxic to the environment than plastic bottles.

Late last year, the students asked West Van district council for $405 for educational materials and to upgrade their recycling bins so more businesses would allow them, in addition to help with advertis-

ing within the municipality. They expect to hear back from council within the next couple months.

“Our main problem is single-family houses,” said Fernando, adding the best option is to put the boxes where families often go, like grocery stores and the library.

Asking other students to collect batteries has also been a success. North Van’s Ridgeview elementary handed over 30 pounds of batteries in two weeks.

“We want to make batteries one of the things people always recycle,” said Lin, adding the club hopes to cover all of West Van eventually.

even close. We got our clocks absolutely cleaned.”

Other wrestlers were Argyle’s Steve Fletcher, Carson Graham’s Bill Sulymka, Delbrook’s Mike Miller, Handsworth’s Rob Alexander, Doug Bocking, Kelly McCloskey and Gord Willits; and Windsor’s Kiyo Okuda. The next night at West Van involved a completely different lineup of North Shore athletes.

Win or lose though, McDonald is passion-ate about exchanges with other countries. “International exchanges are absolutely won-derful,” he exclaims. “They make war impos-sible. If anyone asks me to host, I always do it.”

Callaghan, now retired, says, “Ian has been a super driving force for wrestling on the North Shore forever because of his keen-ness. I didn’t know how I would operate with girls on the wrestling mat but Ian was very good at it and very professional. He was instrumental in get-ting girls’ wrestling going province wide. Ian is very patient and complimentary to the young women who want to come out and is always working hard to improve their skills.”

Earl Henderson, McDonald’s high school coach, recalls “Ian was a very tough kid at 125 pounds,” noting in particular his “stick-to-itiveness” as a wrestler.

Seems like that’s a word that applies to his wrestling passion ever since.

This is episode 474 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.
