4 Just For Canadian doCtors SPRING 2014

It’s getting warmer, and that means turning over a new leaf, so to speak. Leaves and blooms are coming out and, after being

inside much of winter, so are we. And there’s no better place to stretch limbs this spring or summer than in the UK (page 15).

Not just crumpets and culture, the United Kingdom has an adventurous side. Big time. London’s 2012 Summer Olympic Games left a wealth of athletic venues to discover. Wales is making “coasteering” the new must-try experi-ence (jump off a cliff into the Irish Sea in the morning, then tour ancient castles and cozy pubs in the afternoon). And Glasgow’s bra-vado (Glaswegian kiss, anyone?) is being chan-nelled into the upcoming Commonwealth Games this summer. Oh, and there’s whiskey too, of course (page 27).

Here, at home, there’s an east-coast road trip in Nova Scotia (page 23). Or go east (and

west!) in Mexico (page 5). It’s all about the great outdoors. Get outside and physical!

And starting this issue, we’re running a new “As Seen In” contest. While reading these pages look for the answer to this question: What is the name of the trail in the Nova Scotia road trip story in the Spring 2014 issue? Then scan the QR code above. Or visit justforca-nadiandoctors.com/AsSeenIn.html to com-plete an entry form. Answer the “As Seen In” question correctly and you could win a $495 credit from the Professional Education Society to a CME program of your choice. Good luck!

We also want to congratulate our photog-raphy columnist, Michael DeFreitas (page 8) for winning gold at the 2014 North American Travel Journalists Association’s annual awards competition—for a stunning portrait photo in our Spring 2013 issue (above). Bravo!

east Vs. west

ola Cabo! This is the tip of the Baja

Peninsula in Mexico, where, yes, you can relive some spring-break revelry,

BUT it’s also replete with seriously stunning vistas, where two seas meet. On the calmer Sea of Cortez side is Lovers Beach or Playa

del Amor and on the wild Pacific side is Divorce Beach (pictured; with a ghostly apparition in the

rocks overlooking the sands)… Watch waves crash and marvel at brave skimboarders,

then head back to El Médano (Spanish for sand dune) Beach, where the posh ME Cabo resort awaits, whether

you’re hitched or not… see page 6.

Both have the beach, sun, great fare and swish resorts. It’s all about the vibe you’re after. —B.S.

playa del carmen cabo san lucas

Cabo san LuCas is the getaway of the LA and Hollywood jet-set. George Clooney has a pad here, and Sammy Hagar of Van Halen fame has a tequila opera-tion. Think glam. But this is also where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific at the tip of the Baja Peninsula for some fantastical scenery (above)—surreal enough for The Planet of the Apes to have been filmed here. It’s simply wild here. Go west.

pLaya deL Carmen is on Mexico’s sometimes over-run and -touristy Caribbean coast, where the Riviera Maya is a long string of all-inclusive resorts. Advantage: there’s plenty to choose from. And there’s plenty of off-the-beach activities, from discovering underground cenotes to a traditional Mexican show. The island of Cozumel is also a short ferry ride away. The east remains the standby.

Cabo’s west-coast vibe is a bit of rock-and-roll with a good dose of glitz. ME Cabo resort has even set up a poolside day bed for Adam Sandler’s dog. Inside, there’s the swanky Suite ME or Personality Suites.

Spa it. ME Cabo’s YHI Spa (named for the Goddess of Light) is a sanctuary set in the centre of the hotel, complete with a temazcal (traditional Mexican steam house). Indulge in a treatment or lounge in the courtyard in between the plunge pools on the hydrotherapy circuit. Bliss.

Catch Xcaret’s fab night show (xcaret.com)—including a traditional Mayan

ball game and serious rope-handling by a vaquero Mexicano. And you can stay right next door at the Occidental

Grand Xcaret (occidentalhotels.com/resort/occidental-grand-xcaret).

It may just be the best stretch of white sand along the Playa del Carmen

coast (above). Lounge poolside with a cerveza or shoreside by the oh-so-blue Caribbean, then stroll down the

beach to Quinta Avenida (5th Ave.).

A short ferry ride from Playa del Carmen is Isla Cozumel and some of

the best snorkelling anywhere. Take a tour to Palancar Reef from Occidental Grand Cozumel (occidentalhotels.com/

resort/occidental-grand-cozumel).

Yes, ME Cabo has what’s become one of the hippest places in Cabo—day or night—the club vibe of Nikki Beach (nikkibeachcabo.com)—but the town of Cabo San Lucas is a short walk away, with authentic Mexican art to peruse in the market (below) and yummy local fare, like made-in-front-of-you tortillas. ¡Buen provecho!

Food at an all-inclusive can include

haute, authen-tic Mexican fare, like the muy buena

How to use colour to get the most photographic impact

Colourific!Contrast is good. So are prime colours. Muted landscape hues of greens and browns need a pop of red or yellow. A bright-red jacket brings drama to a standard mountain shot. And the gorgeous ochre jellyfish is extra striking when captured alone against the deep-blue waters of an aquarium.

Shoot with a dominant prime colour (red, yellow, blue), like the example of the jellyfish.Use colours to evoke emotions. Blue is cool and relaxing. Green feels fresh and vibrant. Red connotes anger or danger.

Placing a brightly coloured

subject in front of a neutral background accentuates the colour. Shooting a blue car against a neutral blue sky doesn’t work as well as shooting a red car.Transitions between two or more colours (like rows of

yellow and red tulips) also produce strong images.

GeaR UP Reflections can mute the saturated colours of shiny objects, green leaves, sky and water, so use a polarizing filter to reduce those reflections and get deeper, more vivid colours.

Linear polarizers work with manual focus lenses; circular polarizers with auto-focus lenses. an outer ring rotates to desired polarization. and because any filter reduces the sharpness of a lens, buy the best filter you can afford.

PRO TIPS for wow cOlOuR

On a chilly July morning i waited to board a helicopter for a heli-hike in the alaska range outside denali

National Park. When our guide showed up wearing a dark blue ski jacket i explained i’d be photographing him for a magazine ar-ticle and asked if he had a brighter coloured jacket. He nodded and disappeared inside the cabin. i wanted a colour that would stand out against the neutral earth tones of the mountains. He came back wearing a bright red rescue jacket. Perfect.

later that morning i photographed him standing on the edge of a cliff overhang, about 1,000 metres above the Nenana river valley. His bright red jacket made the shot.

there’s a big difference between gen-eral colour photos and using certain colour techniques to produce more dramatic images. Had i shot my guide in his dark blue jacket i would have ended up with an ordinary colour image.

today, thousands of mediocre colour travel images fill most digital and print me-dia, fostering a sort of colour photography complacency. for our travel photography to stand out in this ho-hum crowd of colour we really need to pay closer attention to how we can use colour to affect the final image. as with texture, form and shape, co-lour is an important compositional element. How we use it can make the difference between average and wow.

i used the colour technique of contrasts for my alaska guide. the muted landscape hues helped isolate the guide’s red jacket, which in turn draws the viewer’s eyes to his precarious perch at the edge of the cliff. Yellow would have worked too, but red is associated with danger and i wanted to portray a feeling of danger and adventure.

i used the same technique—for a completely different ef-fect—while shooting tulips in the skagit Valley in Washington state. each april, colourful blooms blanket the fields around the small town of la conner. after shooting the fields from different angles i searched for more unusual subjects within the clouds of colour. it took a bit of looking, but i finally found a lone yellow daffodil in a field of dark-red tulips, and a red tulip smothered by yellow ones. the contrasting colour of both prime-coloured subjects cre-ated the theme of being different, noncon-forming, standing out in the crowd, a loner or a rebel.

However, to use colours effectively you need to understand a few subtle facts. the colour wheel (below) helps explain the relationship between colours. Using a com-bination of adjacent colours will produce a calming or mellow feeling, while combining colours on opposite sides of the wheel will produce a photo with high colour contrast and conflict—like the vibrant ochre of a sea nettle jellyfish against the deep blue waters of the monterey aquarium in california. colours on the right (reddish side) are “warm” while those on the left (blueish side) are classified as “cold.” Knowing these colour traits allows you to produce images with different emotions.

Using colour can bring a new dimension to your travel photography. don’t just shoot colourful scenes. seek out the scenes within a scene. flood your photos with colour and look for colours within colours.

J ust 26 years of age, the mother of newborn twins lay on her side on a bed in the delivery ward of the

Shinyanga Regional Hospital in the east African nation of Tanzania. There was none of the joy and exuberance that accompanies births in Canada, with excited visits from family members bearing gifts of flowers and champagne and pink or blue helium balloons. Toronto’s Dr. Kyong-Soon Lee directed the nurses to place the infants by the mom in the classic ‘kangaroo care’ position to provide skin-to-skin contact,

ensuring the newborns stayed

warm and content. But the woman, thin,

malnourished and exhausted, refused to snuggle

her babies. Little wonder, says Lee, it was the young mom’s 12th delivery.

Lee, a neonatologist at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto, was in Tanzania twice last year on two-week missions as part of a pilot project to address the sub-Saharan nation’s high infant mortality rate, which is 45 deaths per 1,000 live births. (In comparison, Canada’s infant mortality rate is five deaths per 1,000 births.) Reducing child mortality is one of the eight key pillars of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, a blueprint supported

by the world’s nations to improve the living conditions of the poor. To address child mortality, the Tanzanian government reached out to Canada for help and advice. The result was a partnership between Lee and SickKids’ Global Child Health department, which works to improve the health of children around the world through education, advocacy and capacity building. The three-way collaboration included the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the Canadian chapter of AMREF, the African Medical & Research

Foundation, which is Africa’s leading health development organization.

Lee’s career has focused on the care of newborn infants. A graduate of the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Medicine, Lee did a pediatric residency at SickKids, followed by advanced training in neonatology, which is a newborn intensive care subspecialty. This was complemented with a master’s degree in clinical

epidemiology. Lee’s extensive research has convinced her of several key things: the tried-and-true basics of newborn care work best not only in the developing world but here in the West, and this is the best message to communicate to hospitals, midwives and rural clinics in places like sub-Saharan Africa.

Lee, who was accompanied to Tanzania by SickKids nurse practitioner Judy Hawes, didn’t provide direct neonatal care during her time in Africa. Instead, she helped expand and refine the skills and knowledge of local doctors, midwives and nurses currently responsible for the birth and postnatal management of babies. While the Shinyanga hospital had such newborn care technology as ventilators, no one really knew how to operate them effectively, so

Lee emphasized fundamental newborn care skills. In Africa, similar to the West, most babies will only require what is referred to as Level 1 or Level 2 care. (Level 4 care, which offers advanced care like infant cardiac surgery, is usually only seen in resource-rich nations like Canada.) The lower levels of care include resuscitation during the first few minutes after birth, and promoting skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding. Lee introduced the Tanzanians to a low-tech bag-mask ventilator that is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The apparatus covers the infant’s mouth and nose and is hooked up to a bag system that breathes for the baby. Generally, most newborns start taking breaths on their own when their back is rubbed. About 10% require a bit more assistance. Although the bag-mask ventilator is simple, it requires training and practice. “Most students found it quite challenging and need ongoing practice,” says Lee, whose pupils, many rural midwives, ranged in age from their 20s to mid-50s.

Lee also oversaw training in other key areas such as umbilical cord and eye care to prevent infection. The Tanzanians were “really looking for anything to help them; they recognize that neonatal mortality is a huge problem and were willing to do anything within their resources to improve outcomes. They were very open and asked lots of questions,” says Lee. One of the students told Lee that, “due to this training, mothers in the Shinyanga district will enjoy their newborns despite poor hope and threats of delivery. I will save many babies in my region.”

To complement the training, the students were given new bag-mask ventilators and neonatal mannequins to take back to their local districts to train other birthing attendants and for use at deliveries.

Lee isn’t sure what the future is for the program, or whether she’ll be returning to Africa to train more birth attendants. But the journey has changed her, and made her realize the beauty of the continent and the enormous potential its people have—so long as experts like her from the West reach out to lend a helping hand.

what to drink nowWe asked those who know a thing or two about booze to weigh in on what’s hot—or not

Janet Gyenes is a magazine writer and editor who likes to dally in spirits, especially when discov-ering something like corenwyn jenever (a gin-like Dutch spirit)—straight or in cocktails like the

“bramble.” Have a boozy idea or question? Send it to [email protected]

Justin Timberlake and Sean “Diddy” Combs are competing again, but not for a Grammy. Instead, the impresarios are

squaring off in the premium tequila arena, each having partnered with big names Sauza Tequila and DeLeon, respectively. Seems everyone wants to get creative with and put their stamp on booze.

Molecular gastronomy (think dry ice “smoke” and foams) is here to stay, according to David Rios, Diageo’s reigning “best bar-tender in the world.” Tell that to the food sci-entists at Jelly Belly Candy Company, who just launched a draft beer-flavoured bean they spent three years perfecting, inspired by a hefeweizen ale with a “clean, crisp and wheaty taste.” (Perhaps the non-alcoholic candy will be skewered to garnish a Michelada cocktail.)

On the subject of flavour, don’t expect boozes to go au naturel, either. Last year, a record 50-plus flavoured products were launched, although the flavoured-vodka category contracted.

Do these trends have staying power or will they fade faster than a Snapchat post? We

tapped three experts—from Toronto, Halifax and Vancouver—to opine (and whine a little) about booze trends for the year ahead.

Wendy McGuinness (bar manager at Chambar restaurant in Vancouver) takes her craft seriously and urges a quick death to the flavoured-vodka trend.

“When people are drinking popcorn and bubblegum vodka sodas we, as a community, need to take a stand and stop the madness.”

That’s not to say that McGuinness is a buzzkill when it comes to mixing things up, whether in a barrel or glass. McGuinness hopes to see more cocktails made with the smokier agave spirit: mezcal. “I have barrel-aged the Los Siete Misterios for three months and the results were unreal. There are amazing flavours waiting to be discovered and I think more people are excited for aromas of cooked agave, smoke, rose petal and peppercorn.”

Another trend we can look forward to, says Jenner Cormier (Halifax-based reserve spirit consultant and world-class ambassador for Diageo Canada Inc.), is low-octane or inverse cocktails. Take the classic martini, for instance, which has a two-to-one ratio of gin to dry vermouth. Simply reverse the ratio to make an inverse cocktail.

Some bartenders say that these change-ups make for more aromatic cocktails since complex floral and herbal notes can come to the fore. Either way, less booze means you can imbibe longer without worrying about being getting smashed after a couple.

The lower-alcohol trend is well-rooted in the craft-beer scene, says Toronto’s Stephen Beaumont (co-author of The Pocket Beer Guide and The World Atlas of Beer), with many breweries already making more session-style beers. Places such as Bellwoods Brewery in Toronto offer a broader spectrum of styles at various alcohol levels. Case in point: Bellwoods’ heavyweight champ is a Russian imperial stout that packs a 10% ABV (alcohol by volume) punch. In the other corner is a bantam-weight light India session ale that tips the scales at just 2.3% ABV.

Loosely put, “sessionable” beers, which hark back to the First World War, are meant to be highly quaffable so you can drink them over a long period of time—a session. They

typically fall under 5% ABV, ideal for having a few without a one-two knockout. That doesn’t mean these are “light” beers—in any sense of the word. Bellwoods also has a middle-weight session stout that’s 3.8% ABV.

Less alcohol certainly doesn’t equate to less exciting. On the contrary, expect to see fortified wines or amari and spirits such as vermouth to take a bit more of the spotlight, especially boutique brands, says Cormier. Some bartenders will even create their own bespoke boozes. McGuinness echoes this sentiment. She also sees sherry showing up on cocktail lists and, in Vancouver, the op-portunity to showcase local spirits made by craft distillers.

On the world stage, rum is reportedly enjoying a renaissance as the “spirit of the moment” with our commonwealth cousins, according to a recent survey that tracks spirits by consumption in the UK. Beaumont ap-plauds this move. “In booze, brown spirits will continue to tear it up, with aged rums finally achieving some long-overdue respect.” Does that mean Brits’ beloved G&T is being edged aside, perhaps with something darker and stormier? Maybe.

Overall, though, expect excellence. The aforementioned David Rios stated that in 2014 bartenders will seek to perfect cocktails and showcase their simplicity. For McGuinness, this is already evidenced at home, with bartenders “stepping up their game…refining classics with an absolute focus on technique as well as customer service.”

That customer-centric focus is essential to Cormier who is over the ego-driven attitude of some bartenders. “The main focus of a bartender is to fill the needs of the consumer, no matter what they want—gin and tonic or seven-ingredient cocktail. They should receive the same level of service.

“What bartenders are discovering now,” says Cormier, “are ways of speeding up service (cocktails on tap, slushy machines, carbonat-ing and pre-batching/bottling), but they are also taking on culinary methods of boosting flavour and enhancing the experience (saline solutions, sodium bicarbonate solutions, carbonation), which is resulting in some amazingly efficient and extremely flavourful cocktails.” Cheers to that.

2014 booze trends hot list



Easter dinner at my house is usually ham or lamb. My children prefer ham when it’s glazed and adorned with

pineapple or orange slices. Most likely, it’s the combination of sweet and salt that wins them over. For me, I find ham a tad too salty. But when put in a hearty pea soup, it mel-lows, adding depth of flavour. With this in mind, I always bake a bone-in ham and add the meaty ham bone to my broth.

To make the soup, it’s best to start overnight. If you make the broth the night before and let it cool, it’s easier to skim off the fat. Soak the peas for 6 to 8 hours in a big pot of water to cut cooking time by more than half. To give the soup an appealing colour contrast, use both green and yellow peas. Add the green peas a little later in the cooking process so that they hold their shape. The end result is a soup

that always hits the spot on a cold day and is sufficiently hearty to be a main meal when followed by a green salad with a garlicky and lemony herb dressing.

Serve the soup with a medium buttery wine with a crisp edge such as the Peter Lehmann Clancy’s White 2013 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blend. The Semillon provides the smooth buttery taste with a hint of apple and honey while the Sauvignon Blanc provides the citrusy, grapefruit finish. Lovely with the smokiness of the ham and the hearty peas.

Place yellow peas in a strainer and rinse under cold running water. Empty peas into a pot and fill with water so that peas are covered by about 3 inches of water. Cover and let stand overnight. Repeat with green peas, soaking in a separate pot.

Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a heavy stockpot over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, swirl to coat bottom. Add sliced onions, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring until brown but not burnt. Add carrots, thyme, peppercorns, ham bone and about 10 cups of water to cover the bone. Bring to a boil. Skim off froth. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Turn off heat, let cool overnight without lifting lid before skimming off fat. Remove ham bone, shred meat into bite-size pieces and add to diced leftover ham. Strain broth and discard solids.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in large heavy skillet over medium-high heat

until shimmering. Swirl to coat

bottom of pan. Add diced onions, stirring

fancy a dip in the irish Sea? Taking to the skies at 75 miles per hour on the largest zipline in the northern hemi-sphere? A go at a giant ferris wheel? or a spin around a world-class velodrome? The UK is always at the forefront when it comes to music, fashion, art…and adventure. Post-olympic games and pre-Commonwealth games, this island kingdom has some serious adrenaline cours-ing through it, whether in cosmopolitan London, the wilds of north wales or the gritty new glam of glasgow.

LONDON CALLING After the olympics the buzzword in London is legacy. whatever one thinks of the ioC and its sports spectacle, the games do initiate change in its host cities, and in the UK’s singular metropolis that has meant a revamped East London. industrial wasteland has been reclaimed and morphed into parkland where families stroll, people gather for a pint or Pimm’s and London walks offers insightful tours through the new greenway, graffiti-clad streets, past olympic venues and public art. 1 2 {walks.com} on the other end of the city is the village of wimbledon, home of tennis’s biggest competition. There are strict rules and etiquette (the grass, for one, is measured and mowed to a precise 8mm every day) and the battles fought here are so epic that, as past champion goran ivanisevic put it, “if i never win another match i don’t care.” 3 {wimbledon.com} back in the heart of London, refuel at the South bank’s oXo Tower (once a warehouse for, yes, the bouillon cube) where the harvey Nichols restaurant serves a fanciful “Not Afternoon Tea.” Sip on the “roses are red, Violets are blue” welcome drink and gaze over the Thames. 4 {harveynichols.com} And as twilight approaches, head up river to one of the world’s largest ferris wheels, The London Eye, where you’ll have 40-km views from the top (previous page). {londoneye.com} here, you go big.

WILD WALES from London it’s an easy train ride to north wales, where the welsh may have even more pluck than the English. here, the coastline is rocky and the irish Sea is cold. but not cold enough to stop adventure seekers from throwing themselves off clogwyni peryglus (dangerous cliffs) into the surf, as they do on the isle of Anglesey. 5 The island is all bucolic beauty 6 dotted with ancient strongholds like beaumaris Castle 7 , but it’s coasteering guru Matt Shaw who really impresses 8 . The SurfLines {surf-lines.co.uk} guide somehow charms and encourages people to brave waves and face rocks on coasteering tours with welsh aplomb. he also climbs mountains. This is, after all, where Sir Edmund hillary trained for his Everest ascent. Naturally. And if that’s not enough adrenaline, north wales also boasts a zipline over what was once the world’s largest slate quarry, some 700 feet in the air at over 75 miles per hour {zipworld.co.uk}…because here, it’s just wild.

GEARED-UP GLASGOW The adrenaline rush continues in Scotland, where glasgow is gearing up for the 2014 Commonwealth games 9 with new venues like The hydro Arena 10 and the beloved Sir Chris hoy Velodrome {emiratesarena.co.uk/velodrome}, where anyone can take a gravity-defying spin after coaching by medal-winning athletes like David Daniell (who won a silver in the last Commonwealth games) 11 . And in preparation for its hosting gig, glasgow is undergoing a bit of a renaissance (see page 27), showcasing its own mix of edgy art and Scottish bravado, on streets, in museums, at pubs, on the rugby field or football pitch and even in haggis curry. really. Yes, here, it’s all about the brave at heart. Slàinte!

cars + coffee in Caliwhere every Saturday there are “cars you won’t see the other six days of the week”

Southern California has long reigned as the epicentre of automotive ethnog-raphy. No other place comes close for

the celebration of—and reliance on—the automobile. Cars and Coffee is the current holy-grail embodiment of SoCal car culture. This weekly grassroots event evolved and exploded first in orange County, before being copied around the globe. it has taken years of intention, but i finally made my Saturday-morning pilgrimage to the original (and still foremost) orange County Cars and Coffee.

wind back the clock to 1983 at Adams Avenue Donuts in huntington beach and a few hot rod owners gathered Saturday mornings to share each other’s projects and a cuppa joe. word spread (despite the pre-facebook era), focus broadened and car enthusiasts of all stripes, including celebri-ties, became joiners. This pioneer event led

to a spinoff gathering at Crystal Cove Promenade, a shopping mecca south of Newport beach. here, numbers grew exponentially. Noise and congestion too. before long local politicians, residents and businesses would be “asking” the group of enthusiasts to move along.

This growth and/or crisis sequence repeated itself serially. Deja vu all over again, so to speak.

Seven years ago, regular Crystal Cove at-tendees included ford Motor Company senior brass and all-round good-guy movers-and-shakers freeman Thomas and John Clinard.

when Crystal Cove was lost as its venue, the ford duo had the moxie to render the ginor-mous ford/Mazda corporate campus in irvine available Saturday mornings. Thus was born the “Cars and Coffee” name that launched on october 2006 in irvine.

So for the past seven years, 51 weeks a year, Cars and Coffee has found its sea of tranquility at the ford/Mazda irvine campus. Kudos also to Taco bell world headquarters chipping in its 600-plus parking garage tower for spectator use.

This weekly irvine Event studiously avoids media coverage, websites, email lists, Twitter, facebook, vendors hawking their wares, “for Sale” signs, etc. Any communication between the volunteer organizers and participants is by informal word-of-mouth on Saturday morn-ings. The event’s biggest fear is repeating its past growth, and wearing out its venues’ welcome mat.

five hundred cars can be displayed at ford/Mazda. No guarantee exists that a proud owner hoping to occupy one of those coveted spots will be admitted. John Clinard, his wife, Linda, and four dedicated volun-teer gatekeepers have the unenviable but necessary task of deciding which cars gain admission and regularly distributing printed

guidelines to newcomers. fortunately, they have the requisite grace

and gravitas to make it work. it helps that John is six

feet tall, with a disarming radio-esque voice and a long and storied CV that includes Pebble beach

Concours judging.Throngs of well-

behaved, well-caffeinated spectators roam among the 500

displayed cars. Coffee lovers will notice that coffee shares equal billing with the cars. This titular equivalency is a now-historical anomaly. while today’s cars are rare, fine and eclectic, the coffee is more akin to swill in paper cups served alongside factory-made donuts that would make a Timmy’s regular cringe. No seats or tables on offer. (You’ve been warned).

So how about the cars? The tag line, “Cars you won’t see the other six days of the week,”

applies if you aren’t from SoCal or if you only drive on SoCal expressways. i constantly spot rare and interesting cars being driven around in other California settings. So it depends.

roughly 200 die-hard owners of interest-ing cars come every Saturday. The other 300 interesting cars vary week to week. with a population of well over 15 million to draw from, most high-end, late-model ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens, bugattis, Porsches and Mercedes are represented.

More interesting to me are the mobile his-tory lessons of past models of these brands: 1950s Porsche 356, gullwing SL Mercedes and a mid-’60s ferrari 275 gTb. And the stray old Citroens, Maseratis, Alfas and Lancias present could take a lifetime to spot on the street in Canada.

being California, there are lots of air-cooled Vws (both stock and customized), ’50s finned cars, ’60s muscle cars and early Japanese imports, ’70s custom vans, off-road monsters, ’30s classics, race cars from just about every era and discipline, and more of the same in motorcycles.

of course, being around all these great cars and their appreciative fan base, made me wax nostalgic for many of my own 40-odd cars to date. few were particularly valuable at the time of my ownership. Yet today, apart from a handful of family haulers and econo-boxes, they would likely get the John/Linda nod of approval at the gate.

i mean, when is the last time you saw a 1969 bedford C (aka “Doormobile”)—even if i paid just $900 for it as a Senior houseman? or my $1,200 1976 olds Cutlass Supreme Vista Cruiser wagon—my ride during medi-cal school (race car tow vehicle of my then gordini r8)? or my $2,200 1967 Mgb gT, red with factory wire wheels? i could go on. And on. And on.

but, it’s far more self-actualizing that you do your own nostalgic automotive navel gazing. There is no place like the original Cars and Coffee in orange County to appreciate the role that car culture, and by extension California, has played in your life. And you can do so 51 Saturday mornings per year. Attending is worth the pilgrimage for any car guy/gal the next time you are in LA. Just stop for fine coffee en route.

Insurance companies will say anything to get your business.

Sometimes, even the truth.

JFCDoctors-spring2014-wip2 V2.indd 19 14-03-06 12:24 PM

Hi, I’m Bruce.

Insurance companies say a lot of the same things to potential clients: They promise to put your needs first. They know what you need. They know how to find you the best value. But rarely is there any real reason to think one company can stand behind those promises better than another.

OMA Insurance is fundamentally different.

Because we’re part of the OMA, we know doctors. We know that doctors are different – with differing needs throughout their evolving careers. And we know how to tailor our insurance solutions to your changing needs at every stage.

But more importantly, because OMA Insurance operates solely for the benefit of physicians, we are the only truly unbiased source of insurance advice for doctors. Our non-commissioned advisors advocate solely for what’s in the best interests of our clients, bringing together insurance solutions that give you just the insurance you need, when you need it. Not for profit. All for doctors.

As you might notice, the look and tone of our communications is a bit different. Truth is, we are different. Since 1956 our team of insurance professionals have been working just for doctors, putting your needs first. I invite you to find out for yourself what makes OMA Insurance different. Call us to schedule a personal consultation with one of our advisors.

OMA Insurance

The truth as OMA sees it.


Rather than simply selling individual insurance products, our non-commissioned OMA Insurance advisors focus on creating insurance solutions for doctors that mitigate your risks – helping you Protect Your Assets, Protect Your Lifestyle and Protect Your Business and the people who depend on its success.

We know how different doctors can be.

With a lifestyle mostly focused on studies, your insurance needs probably seem pretty basic. But even without significant assets or dependents, now is the perfect time to look ahead and arrange for the coverage that will carry you forward as your career takes shape. You’re finally starting to earn a living as a

doctor, starting to accrue more assets, and maybe even starting a family. Now is the time to align your changing situation with the needs you have now as well as the future you’re working towards.

With more assets, a young family and potentially a medical practice depending on your income as a physician, OMA Insurance can help you protect your financial obligations in the event of an unforeseen event.

As your career matures, families and businesses grow and evolve, and debt structure may change significantly with your assets or retirement plan. This is no time to let your insurance coverage lose touch with the life and career you’ve worked so hard to establish.

Career Starting Physicians

“Changing the world, one patient at a time.”

Established Physicians

“It’s all about work/life balance.”

MedicalStudent

“Idealism - that’s me!”

Residents“Sleep?!? Yeah … I remember sleep.”


The truth isn’t too hard to find.

We know different people prefer different ways of engaging with an insurance provider, and that doctors’ schedules can make it even more of a challenge. So let’s make it easy. Speak to an OMA advisor personally, explore our website, or email your questions and requests. Your coverage, on your terms.

F ollowing the tides of fundy that rise from Yarmouth to their peak of 16.5 metres (54 feet) at the headwaters of the Minas basin, the Evangeline Trail (hwy 1) meanders through 400 years of Nova Scotia

settlement. from the small fishing port of Yarmouth, the 300-kilometre trail ambles northeast following the crenulations of the fundy coast through delightful french-speaking villages where the red, white and blue Acadian flag with its single star—the

Stella Maris—proudly flutters from porches and public buildings, and rolls through the wineries and orchards of the Annapolis Valley before ending in bedford.

The route gets its name from henry wadsworth Longfellow’s epic 1847 poem, Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie that traces the sad romantic tale of a fictional Acadian girl named Evangeline bellefontaine, who was separated from her betrothed, gabriel Lajeunesse, on their wedding day during the great Expulsion of the Acadians from Nova Scotia. between 1755 and 1764, the british violently removed from their homes any french loyalist (Acadian) that refused to pledge an oath of loyalty to the Queen, and crammed them into cargo ships bound for Louisiana and british American colonies. More than half of the 18,000 expelled Acadians died en route.

After years of searching for her gabriel, a much older Evangeline settles in Philadelphia where she works among the poor as a Sister of Mercy. while tending the dying during an epidemic she finds gabriel among the sick, and he dies in her arms. The poignant poem helped define both Acadian history and identity in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Yarmouth & Acadian Shoresfrom 1830 to 1880, Yarmouth earned the title of the richest small town in the world. This once bustling 19th-century shipbuilding capital now supports a large fishing industry and a vibrant Acadie culture. Quaint shops flank its delightful Main Street and dozens of magnificent Victorian mansions, built by successful sea captains, grace the side streets. A self-directed four-kilometre historic walking tour covers 30 unique shops, 26 mansions and two museums. guarding the harbour entrance, a few kilometres south of town, stands the 1839 Cape forchu Lightstation. The small fascinating museum in the old lightkeeper’s house documents much of Yarmouth’s colourful past.

Just east of Yarmouth, in the tiny village of Tusket, you’ll find the 1805 Argyle Township Court house & goal. Canada’s oldest courthouse features jailer’s quarters and a prisoners’ cellblock on the first floor while the second floor houses the courtroom and old judge’s chambers.

The Digby NeckContinuing north of Yarmouth, you’ll pass through 18th-century bastions of Acadian culture including Saulnierville with its elegant 1880 Sacré Cœur (Sacred heart)

Church, Comeauville where you can hike and kayak picturesque Smuggler’s Cove Marine Provincial Park and gilbert’s Cove with its old lighthouse.

About midway on the Trail is the tiny fishing village of Digby, “The scallop capital of the world.” Under the leadership of Admiral Sir robert Digby, british Loyalists from New York and New England settled in Digby in 1783. housed in a mid-1800s georgian home, the Admiral Digby Museum features period rooms and artifacts related to Loyalist life after the great Expulsion.

Each July the town holds it famous Lobster bash to celebrate its fishing heritage. This fun family event features lobster trap hauling, trap stacking, lobster crate races, a huge outdoor kitchen party and outdoor concerts that culminate in a beautiful flotilla parade of lights and fireworks display in the harbour.

Extending southwest from Digby is a long narrow peninsula called the Digby Neck. The Digby Neck and islands Scenic Drive, highway 217, runs along the peninsula and its two barrier islands, and offers some of Nova Scotia’s best birding and whale-watching vistas. You’ll have to make two free short ferry crossings at East ferry and freeport to get to the lighthouse at the southern tip of brier island, but it’s definitely worth the drive.

Annapolis ValleyStretching northeast from Digby to grand Pré the Evangeline Trail parallels the Annapolis river as it snakes through the beautiful Annapolis Valley. Perched on the north bank of the river’s mouth is Port royal, the original 1605 site of the first french settlement and capital of the colony of Acadia. in 1925, the government designated part of the town the Port-royal National historic Site and built the habitation at Port-royal, a replica of the original french settlement.

After the british destroyed Port royal in 1613, the french relocated the settlement 10 kilometres upstream where it prospered until the british captured it in 1710 and renamed it Annapolis royal (after Queen Anne). The town served as the capital of Acadia and later Nova Scotia for almost 150 years, until the founding of halifax in 1749.

Annapolis royal is one of the more popular stops along the Evangeline Trail and in 1994 the government designated the town’s historic core a National historic Site of Canada. The historic town center features 150 heritage buildings including the 1708 degannes-Cosby >> continued on page 26

Sable IslandLong a seldom-seen isle some 175 km off of Nova Scotia—frequented only by sea lions and pirates—Sable Island is now Canada’s 43rd national park. With its new national-park distinction, those sea lions, wild horses (here since the 18th century) and scores of birds (up to 330 far-flung species, waylaid by turbu-lent marine weather) are protected on what’s been dubbed the Graveyard of the Atlantic for the many shipwrecks upon its stormy shores. That means a side trip to this Canadian Galapagos can be a bit of a challenge, but there’s now a super-easy way of getting here: Adventure Canada is offering cruises to the island starting this June. adventurecanada.com

house, Canada’s oldest wooden house, the five-hectare Annapolis royal historic gardens (a top five North American garden) and the 1708 fort Anne National historic Site. Each evening fort staff, dressed in period costumes, lead candlelight tours of the fort’s cemetery, one of North America’s oldest, and tell tales of some of its more famous residents.

At the eastern end of the Annapolis Valley, on the banks of the Avon river and Minas basin, the Trail passes through its most popular stop, grand Pré, Evangeline’s fictional hometown. in 1912, the region’s stunning landscape and historical significance prompted UNESCo to designate about 13-square-kilometres surrounding the town, Canada’s 16th world heritage Site.

Acadians reclaimed this region from the sea by erecting a series of 17th-century dykes between grand Pré and wolfville to hold back the huge fundy tides. Twice each day the tide rises and falls eight metres, leaving entire inlets and harbours along the basin waterless, and good-sized fishing boats tilted askew alongside towering wharves and breakwaters.

The last 70 kilometres of the Trail from grand Pré to bedford is packed with breathtaking scenery and must-see attractions including the fox hill cheese factory in Port williams, the award-winning grand Pré wines vineyard in grande Pré and the 1750 fort Edward National historic Site in windsor.

The Evangeline Trail is more than a nice drive; it’s a journey through Acadian history and culture. A journey filled with picturesque villages strung along the coast like brightly painted fishing buoys, where colourful marooned boats, like discarded toys, litter mud flats at low tide, and numerous roadside eateries serve delicious Acadian favourites like beignets a la râpure (potato fritter or pancake) or a starchy rappie pie (baked seafood or chicken potato casserole). it’s a journey filled with surprises around every bend in the road.

Grit can be good. And Glasgow has had its share of grit. It’s known for the Glaswegian kiss, after all. Not a romantic gesture but rather, ahem, a

passionate head butt. Glaswegians are nothing if not ardent. But that Scottish bravado is now being channelled into some very worthy pursuits. Like the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

The streets showcase public art heralding the Games and venues like the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and The Hydro are bringing a modern edge to this historic city (see page 15). Medal-winning cyclist David Daniell, who works and trains at the velodrome, raves that it’s the best sports facility in the UK—and beyond. And it’s open to the public.

Accessibility is important to the rejuvenation of this city. The Gallery of Modern Art is free—always. 1 {glasgowlife.org.uk/museums/GoMA} And there’s public art throughout Glasgow, from the statue of the Duke of Wellington outside the gallery (with a now-permanent traffic cone atop his head that’s become a symbolic poke at authority) to the street art tucked away in alleys. Empire, by renowned Scottish artist Douglas Gordon, references

Glasgow’s past as the industrial centre of the British Empire, the Merchant City. 2 Its backwards letters, mirrored to be read in reflection, can be interpreted as a deeper comment on Glasgow’s dichotomous character, from prosperous ship-building powerhouse to post-industrial, high-unem-ployment decline, a swing from leader to lost.

Happily, Glasgow has found its way again, thanks in large part to a vibrant student culture. The city has had the storied University of Glasgow since 1451, the fourth-oldest university in the English-speaking world. More hallowed than any Ivy League school, walking the university’s grounds is to see Glasgow’s past glory still thriving. 3 {gla.ac.uk}

Another iconic school is the Glasgow School of Art, a “creative hothouse” founded in 1845. {gsa.ac.uk} One of its most famous alumni is renowned architect and designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, who, by the end of the 19th century, solidified the GSA as a world-class art academy, especially in the decorative arts, examples of which are scattered throughout the city, like at the go-to eatery, Two Fat Ladies at The Buttery. 4 {twofatladiesrestaurant.com}

Current GSA student, Fran Lightbound personifies the new Glasgow. Bright and stylish, she’s a guide for the Glasgow Miracle Walking Tour and shares the “miracle” of the city’s creative regeneration, when artists in the 1970s began redefining it as an internationally acclaimed arts mecca. 5 {gsa.ac.uk/visit-gsa/city-walking-tours}

And then there’s the food and drink. Two musts here: whiskey and curry. Local Scotch aficionado, Peter Stewart, known as “Smiley Pete,” guides neophytes through the whiskey-tasting process, and he’ll likely get you to try some of Scotland’s fabulous gins too… 6 {inverarity121.com}

As for curry, Glasgow proudly held the title of Curry Capital of Britain in 2013, and plans to keep it. It’s no won-der, then, that at one locals’-fave Indian restaurant, Mr. Singh’s, you can sample the only-in-Scotland combo of Haggis and curry. Um, yum? {mistersinghsindia.com}

There’s creativity to the brim in Glasgow, whether in sport, art, food or drink. Let’s have a kiss… —B. Sligl

trust itwhy doctors still need a family trust

W hen the government disallowed in-come splitting with minor children, most doctors closed down their

family trusts. Many have regretted this move, not realizing that trusts still remain an impor-tant tax reduction vehicle. if your medical cor-poration is planning to pay dividends to adult children, parents or other relatives, the shares need to be held in a trust. below are examples of the many benefits you can enjoy by setting up a trust that is tailored to your needs.

You maintain absolute control. Since you are the author of the trust agreement, you can add many provisions to allow for flexibility and control. The flexibility provision implies that you can appoint either yourself and/or your spouse as the trustees. in most cases, the only asset in the trust is the dividend-paying shares of your corporation. This means that you have full control how the income and distribution of funds is allocated to the beneficiaries. in the absence of a trust, however, your family members control the shares and—within limits—can do with them what they wish.

You can add or remove beneficiaries without their consent or tax implications. The typical trust document gives you, as the trustee, full discretion in the management of the trust. it takes a simple trust document to add a new family member to income split with. You can also remove one with whom you may have a conflict or who is no longer providing tax benefits. Adding or removing shareholders without the trust is a big deal. This can result in paying large professional fees to reorganize the share capital and unexpect-ed tax bills in case of a departing shareholder. while the leaving shareholder may be willing to surrender the shares to you without any payment, the Tax Department treats such a transfer as a disposition at fair market value. for instance, if the shares have a market value of $100,000, you can expect to pay tax of about $25,000.

You protect the corporation from credi-tors. while beneficiaries are the actual owners of the trust, the beneficiary’s interest in a typical discretionary trust has no commercial value. This prevents creditors from getting access to the trust assets or the shares of the

company. Keep in mind that your trust, pro-vided it is used as a creditor protection vehicle, may be challenged in some jurisdictions. Thus, it is prudent that you check with your lawyer whether or not your trust is creditor proof.

You can save taxes by shifting income to a low-tax-rate province. The trust allows you to shop for a low-rate jurisdiction to shel-ter your income. because of Alberta’s low tax rate, many trusts are resident in this province. in order to have a trust reside in a jurisdiction, the majority of the trustees must also reside there and the administration of the trust must also be carried on in the same location. To illustrate the tax benefits, a $1 million gain taxed in an Alberta trust saves about $30,000 of income taxes compared with a trust resi-dent in ontario.

You avoid probate fees. if you transfer investments or personal assets to a trust, these trust assets are no longer part of your estate and not subject to probate fees. important to remember is that a transfer of assets to a family trust must be at fair market value, which means that a capital gain can be triggered on the transfer.

You can double up on the principal residence exemption. Many doctors know that the gain on the sale of the family home is tax-exempt. if your family owns a recreational property, the principal residence exemption must either be allocated to the family home or to the recreational property, but not both. when your children turn 18, they become entitled to their own principal residence exemption. furthermore, if the trust purchases the recreational property, the gain on the sale of the property can be sheltered by the ben-eficiary’s principal residence exemption. The residence exemption, however, is only possible once the child turns 18, and the child must have used the property during the period of ownership. if you are contemplating to acquire a personal residence, consider having the fam-ily trust purchase it. because there are some important technical rules you need to follow when setting up such a principal residence trust, it is crucial that you obtain advice from your accountant.

I recently had a patient tell me how she had had to fight with her sons’ school in order that her children be taught cursive

writing (also referred to as script, joined-up writing, joint writing, running writing or handwriting). My first reaction was of outrage, but upon reflection i am beginning to change my mind.

historically there was probably outrage when wax tablets gave way to papyrus, papyrus to parchment, parchment to paper and eventually paper scrolls to books. The recording devices for these media have also undergone an evolution. The quill pen became the dipping pen and later the foun-tain pen. These have been superseded by ball-point pens. Alongside these came the invention of the mechanical typewriter fol-lowed by the electric daisy-wheel machine,

the stand-alone word-processor and now the computer and multitudes of tablets.

The purpose of all of these is the transfer of information, with the added advantage of permanence and asynchronicity—the Dead Sea scrolls being an extreme example of this.

Today’s evolving medicine, with the fragmentation of primary care and the concentration within hospitals of complex patients involving several disparate special-ties, means safe, rapid and reliable transfer of information is essential. handwriting is far from ideal for this purpose.

Yet even in a new hospital with everything state-of-the-art, including the electronic medical record and every kind of monitoring device, the day-to-day prog-ress notes are still handwritten. This means that they cannot be easily entered into

the electronic medical record (they could be scanned but this is not immediate and labour inefficient); when remotely access-ing the hospital record this vital data is not available.

Paper-chart entries are labourious and slow to read at best, and illegible and potentially misleading at worst. but their advantage is that the information is immedi-ately available to anybody geographically or temporally close to the writer.

Doctors’ handwriting, the butt of many jokes, is not really a joke at all. handwritten prescriptions are easily misread and inter-preting the hastily written script wastes pharmacists’ time. Studies in the US estimate 7,000 deaths a year are attributable to this, and the UK gives the figure of 30,000 a year.

tablets, rapid, reliable and digital writing is easily possible. The disadvantage with these is that not many physicians can type much more than 30 words per minute; handwriting is probably quicker in the short-term.

Voice recognition has now reached the level where, while not perfect, it is safely usable. it’s certainly quicker than handwriting and less tiring. with experience this can be extremely productive with simple commands employing macros to ‘write’ no end of repetitive but medicolegally necessary information.

Transcription services are also readily available and reasonably affordable. The hourly rate of a stenographer is more than covered by the time enabled to see another patient or two. And with the shortage of physicians such an increase in productivity has broader value too.

i have several pens, and i am particularly fond of my Schaeffer fountain pen, but i rarely use it any more. This is somewhat sad but now my records and referral letters are completely legible and easy to read. Using the EMr, they are quicker to produce and contain a great deal more information since there is less temptation to ab-breviate and omit material.

handwriting does transmit information that a word processor will not. The emotion and even personality of the writer that are revealed through script—forward or back sloping, bold and clear or carelessly scratched—are characteristics that will be lost. i guess it will make it difficult for the crime novelist! So should this evolution be allowed to go unchallenged? i am ambivalent. Are you? And one more thought: in my research for this essay there is a question to which i have not found an answer—how will the next generation sign their names?

Dr. Pippa Moss likes to travel. A lot. It’s the one thing she’d change about herself: stay home in Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia, more often. Yet she’s happiest exploring new places. It’s what brings her to Kenya regularly as Project Lead for a home that provides family-based care for AIDs-abandoned and -orphaned children, named after a young girl named after Dr. Moss, who once sponsored her father (pippasplace.org). If she wasn’t an on-a-mission physician, she’d be an astronaut like her celebrity crush, Roberta Bondar. Her motto? Per ardua ad astra, which telling means “Through adversity to the stars.”
