The letter of the law Random or

alphabetically-ordered ballots? The two NV councils are

split

TODD COYNES T A F F R E P O R T E R

The two councils of North Vancouver don’t differ on too many things, but when

it comes to ordering the names on their civic election ballots, the dif-ference between the city and the district is day and night — or night and day, depending where you vote.

On Oct. 24, the district revealed the order in which candi-dates for mayor, council and school board would appear to voters on its Nov. 19 randomized ballot.

That order — avail-able on the district’s website — was random-ized rather than alpha-betized as a way to combat what has been shown in U.S. studies to be an unfair advantage given to candidates on A-Z ballots whose last names start with letters nearer the beginning of the alphabet over their later-lettered opponents.

One California study shows that candidates nearer the top of the ballot on either an alphabetically ordered or incumbent-first ballot get

as much as a five-per-cent boost at the polls among undecided voters.

This summer, a similar random-ized ballot bylaw was proposed for the City of North Vancouver by Coun. Craig Keating and showed some momentum through two read-ings before it dropped off the table at a marathon council meeting on July 25 — the deadline for changing the election bylaws.

When the motion was first brought forward at city council, councillors Pam Bookham and Rod Clark abstained from voting, citing their lucky-lettered last names as a possible conflict of interest.

But on July 25, when the bylaw was moved by Keating and sec-onded by Coun. Mary Trentadue — then, coincidentally the two low-est lettered names on the ballot of

sitting councillors — the final vote was deferred and inevi-

tably killed due to time constraints at the last meeting before the sum-mer break.

Robyn Anderson, the district’s chief election

officer, told The Outlook that whether or not it’s fair

for councillors to vote on the order that their names on re-

election ballots, that’s how the elec-tion law is written.

“That’s the way the legisla-tion works — it has to be done via bylaw and only council can adopt a bylaw,” she said. “You’ll have to ask the [Elections BC] ministry about the fairness of it.”

Metro Vancouver cuts aboriginal issues watchdogSwitch eliminates $324,000

annual grant

JEFF NAGELB L A C K P R E S S

Metro Vancouver is pulling out of the Lower Mainland Treaty Advisory Committee to chop a $324,000 annual

grant to the body that monitors aboriginal issues and observes treaty talks on behalf of local cities.

But the move leaves neighbouring regional districts in the lurch that were represented by LMTAC and has raised questions about whether Metro will have observers in future treaty nego-tiations with area First Nations.

LMTAC rep Alan Nixon had plead-ed with the Metro board to fund the committee for another six months.

But Metro’s board voted against a reprieve Friday.

The regional district will now handle those issues through its own aboriginal relations committee, which will report more directly to area mayors.

“First Nations people are now moving into other aspects of governance,” board chair and Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said. “It’s impor-tant the mayors be very closely related to these issues.”

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said Metro Vancouver had been subsidizing LMTAC for the benefit of the neighbouring Squamish-Lillooet and Sunshine Coast regional districts.

Richmond Coun. Harold Steves voted to continue the grant and at least postpone wind-ing up LMTAC to properly assess the implica-

tions.The province, which bargains on behalf of

cities at treaty tables, allows an LMTAC rep to observe the talks.

Metro officials believe the province will agree to instead allow the Metro committee to name an observer to future negotiations.

Funding for LMTAC from Victoria has been cut over the years from $80,000 down to $10,000.

The entire future of the treaty process has been increasingly in question, with the B.C. Treaty Commission recently suggesting it should be scrapped if more progress doesn’t

come within a year.Metro Vancouver is home to

B.C.’s only urban treaty, with the Tsawwassen First Nation.

But most other aboriginal groups in the region are not actively nego-tiating, opting to instead pursue land development and business opportunities on their reserve lands.

Metro had also been poised to terminate a $60,000 a year grant to the Recycling Council of B.C. to run a recycling hotline.

The board agreed to continue the grant for one more year.

Metro already runs its own website helping locals find recycling options, at metrovancou-verreycles.org.

The board approved other contributions to external agencies, including $300,000 to the Fraser Basin Council, $175,000 to the Pacific Parklands Foundation, $100,000 to the Seymour Salmonid Society, $100,000 to assort-ed cultural organizations and $35,000 to agri-cultural awareness organizations.

Band opposes plan that would bring more

tankers

JEFF NAGELB L A C K P R E S S

Kinder Morgan’s plan to more than double its ability to send crude oil by pipeline through

the Lower Mainland to tankers on Burrard Inlet will be opposed by the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation.

The company aims to twin its Trans Mountain pipeline from Alberta, boosting its capac-ity from 300,000 barrels per year to up to 700,000 and increasing the number of oil tankers that sail past down-town Vancouver.

“The risks associated with the Kinder Morgan proj-ect are too great to accept,” Tsleil-Waututh Chief Justin George said.

The North Vancouver-based band’s traditional territory is centred on Burrard Inlet and takes in the Westridge Marine Terminal in north Burnaby at the end of the 1,150-kilometre pipeline from northern Alberta.

Up to 70 double-hulled oil tankers already load up at the terminal each year. They are harnessed to tugs and steered by local pilots through Burrard Inlet, under the Lions Gate and

Ironworkers Memorial bridges.George said the Tsleil-Waututh sup-

port economic development that bal-ances the environment and economy.

But he said the band was “deeply affected” when a construction crew ruptured the Trans Mountain pipeline in 2007 and 1,500 barrels of oil spilled, soaking a north Burnaby neighbour-hood and the nearby shoreline.

“Our inlet has been scarred by the impacts of oil spills and we have seen firsthand the inadequacies of emer-gency response and clean up efforts,” George said.

“We are disappointed,” Kinder Morgan external relations manager

Lexa Hobenshield said of the Tsleil-Waututh position, adding the company will continue efforts to discuss its plans with the band.

Over the next three months Kinder Morgan is asking prospective custom-ers to signal their interest in using extra pipeline capacity before the company decides whether it will proceed with the roughly $4-billion proj-

ect.If it has sufficient backing of cus-

tomers, Hobenshield said, a compre-hensive process of public and stake-holder consultation, environmental and other assessments would begin, leading up to an eventual decision by regulators.

An expanded Trans Mountain pipe-line would offer Canadian oil com-

panies much greater ability to export oil sands crude to Asia, reducing their dependence on the U.S. market.

That’s also the goal of the rival $6.6-billion Northern Gateway pipe-line proposed by Enbridge to cross northern B.C.

Kinder Morgan argues its use of an existing corridor is not only less expensive but would mean less envi-ronmental impact than Enbridge’s new pipeline route.

Enbridge counters its completed line would be more efficient for shippers because its planned deepwater termi-nal at Kitimat would serve the largest supertankers that cannot enter BurrardInlet.

Many environmental groups oppose both B.C. pipelines and some Metro Vancouver politicians have expressed concern about a Trans Mountain expansion.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities voted in September to seek a careful environmental assessment and exten-sive public consultation of any plan to ship more oil in B.C.

The Kinder Morgan pipeline doesn’t just carry oil. It also supplies 90 per cent of the gasoline used in the Lower Mainland.

Just 26 tankers have loaded at Westridge so far this year.

Hobenshield said demand is cycli-cal and more oil is being sent south into Washington State via a spur line at Sumas.

Focused on filmmaking

Like any filmmaker with a budding produc-tion company, Mackenzie Harmon always has a business card handy. You never

know when you’re going to meet someone who’s interested in your work.

Harmon keeps his cards in his backpack. Next to his lunch and homework. And he’s probably going to need to order a new batch soon.

The 12-year-old’s videos have already land-ed him a couple of appearances on Citytv’s Breakfast TV, a spotlight feature on the Vancouver Canucks website and a large YouTube following. But the seventh grader doesn’t act likes he’s big-time.

He’s polite, taking off his black ball cap when he sits down, and authentically modest when talking about his growing catalogue of videos available at 316mackie.com and youtube.com/316mackie.

After munching on an orange pumpkin-shaped shortbread cookie he explains how it all started: Ms. Stewart, his Grade 6 teacher, asked him to do a short video for Pink Day, an anti-bullying initiative in B.C. schools. She knew he liked making videos. But he had only two days to make a short film— and the entire school, from kindergarten to Grade 7, would be assembling to watch it.

He started shooting after school at the skate-board park with his iPod 4 with the help of a few friends and family. The next evening he furiously edited his video. On Wednesday his video was projected onto a large screen in the gymnasium. “People knew I made videos before but not like this,” he says.

“I wanted to make more videos because of the great response I got.”

Truth is, Mac, as he’s known to friends, has known from an early age that he wanted to be a filmmaker. He got his first camera — a big JVC that he got at Zellers which he still has — at seven, shortly after announcing to his mom

and dad that he wanted to go to film school. When discussing movies he talks about his two favourite directors, Steven Spielberg and James Cameron.

Harmon shot Pink Day with an iPod 4 and edited on a PC. “That was before I had a Mac,” he says.

Now, he’s video-making mostly using his iPhone 4 and editing on his MacBook Pro.

“I use iMovie but want to get Final Cut [edit-ing software],” he says.

For Christmas, he’s hoping for a digital camera that shoots video.

Since Pink Day, his videos have piled up quickly — and all deliver important messages, from bullying and youth homelessness to how Vancouver rallied together after the Stanley Cup riots. His latest is a Remembrance Day video that begins with grainy archival footage from the First World War and ends in Afghanistan, where his

uncle recently returned from a peacekeeping mission. He’s hoping “Remember” will be posted on the Facebook page Canada Remembers. Next up? Probably a video to pro-vide awareness about animal abuse. “I just have a love for animals,” he says.

As he says on his website, “The point of my videos is

not about me or how many views I can get but to bring awareness to these causes because we all have family and we are all affected in one way or another.”

The young filmmaker feels he can get impor-tant messages to a wider audience through mak-ing videos.

“A couple of days ago I got my 100th subscrib-er he says, tearing open a mini Twizzler pack that came with his Halloween cookie.

“I just like sharing videos with everyone.”For now when thinking about his future career,

he’s focused on filmmaking — or pro skateboard-ing. Or maybe both.

“I’m really addicted to skateboarding right now — same with filmmaking.”

Men don’t like to think about their nether regions too much. Let alone talk about them.

Movember is trying to change that.No, that’s not a spelling error.Movember started in 2003 as a bet between two bud-

dies in Australia to see who could grow the best mous-tache. Some more friends and relatives joined in and started to turn the follicle challenge into an awareness and fundraising campaign for men’s health issues like prostate cancer.

Last year, 447,808 registered participants raised $76.8 million worldwide; almost a third of that was raised by 119,000 Canadians.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer to affect Canadian men, afflicting one in seven. It will kill 4,100 men this year. But if caught early, it is 90 per cent curable.

Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of symptoms to alert its presence. That’s why prostate Cancer Canada recom-mends men over 40 talk to their doctor about a prostate examination, including a prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test.

For many men, that’s a rather uncomfortable proposi-tion.

But 25 years ago breast cancer lurked similarly in the shadows.

Since then, swaddled in pink ribbons and balloons, propelled by runs, walks, rides and paddles, awareness about breast cancer and fundraising to help find its cure has exploded into the public consciousness. And it’s had a real impact.

Since 1999, the incidence of breast cancer in Canada has stabilized, and since 1986 the death rate from breast cancer has dropped 30 per cent. More women are ben-efitting from better screening and advances in treatment.

As yet there are not many mass runs for prostate can-cer, no ribbons of reminder to be worn on lapels, no pur-ple power tools to show support.

But there is Movember. And it’s as simple as neglect-ing to shave for 30 days. Or pledging support to someone who’s participating.

and now, thanks to the donations and support of another prominent West Vancouver family, the Sarah McLachlan School of Music has a stunning new home. Last week, a special formal reception marked the official opening of the new school. Providing full scholarship music programs to less privileged students in Grade 4 – 12, this latest step helps bring to fruition a dream that started some nine years ago. “I want to give as many children as I can the chance to know how it feels to find their voice through music,” said McLachlan before she proudly joined the student choir on stage to sing for the audience of invited friends and guests. Also last week, West Vancouver’s Shannon and Emad Yacoub, of Glowbal Group restaurants (Coast, Italian Kitchen, Sanafir), hosted a sexy soiree opening party at their newest establishment – Black and Blue. This chic steak house now gives the restaurateurs a commanding presence along Alberni Street and turns the former business-y boulevard into one of Vancouver’s hottest see-and-be-seen streets.

Get ready to vote:Meet the candidates who are vying for your vote on November 19.

November 19. Mark it on your calendars, folks. It’s your chance to get out to the nearest polling station and choose who you’d like to represent you at district hall. Below are profiles of all the candidates, from those seeking the mayor’s seat to council hopefuls and trustee types. Happy voting!

Candidates for council

Mary-Ann BoothWebsite: maryannbooth.comResides: Ambleside

Mary-Ann Booth has served the West Van school district as trustee for the past six years. Now she hopes to help shape the com-munity as a whole by running for

councillor.“We have a lot to be proud of in West

Vancouver: a beautiful and safe community, a colourful history, and wonderful ameni-ties,” said Booth. “I’m committed to honouring those assets, but I believe we can do better. I envision a more livable, more vibrant and more engaged community.”

Booth concludes the biggest challenge in West Van is balancing high expectations for community services with financial prudence.

“We managed it very successfully in [School] District 45, where parents wanted excellent education despite unprecedented financial restraint; I’m confident we can do the same on council,” she said.

Booth retired from law in 2005, after 20 years as a business lawyer and Crown prosecu-tor. In addition to her work as a school trust-ee, Booth also sits on various municipal work-ing groups and advisory committees.

Craig CameronWebsite: craigcameron.caResides: Ambleside

Financial and environmental sustainability, vitality and inclu-siveness are the principles by which Craig Cameron is running his election campaign.

A champion of West Van’s natural splendor, Cameron wants to protect Whyte Lake, near Horseshoe Bay, from being developed.

However, the single biggest issue on the minds of most voters appears to be the levels of taxa-tion and municipal spending, says Cameron.

“We need to seek creative funding sources,” he suggests. “The appointment of a Municipal Auditor General would assist in addressing the municipal spending issue.”

West Vancouver needs more public spaces to boost vitality, perhaps a satellite campus of Capilano University, figures Cameron.

“People, all they do is leave West Van; it’s so sleepy,” he says.

As a lawyer, Cameron works for the Department of Justice Canada on a wide variety of litigation, including aboriginal rights claims. He is also a director of the West Vancouver Community Centres Society.

Michael Evison Website: michaelevison.comResides: Sandy Cove

Expanding the District of West Vancouver’s relationship with First Nations is a subject that incumbent councillor Michael Evison would like to tackle, if

elected for another term.Finding affordable housing for seniors and

low income families is another challenge, says Evison.

“I want to see us engage a citizens’ group to find out where and how we can achieve more affordable housing,” he adds.

Evison is calling for major housing develop-ments in West Vancouver to include smaller suites. He has also seen firsthand the looming homelessness situation on the North Shore; as acting mayor, he spent the day with the local Meals on Wheels program.

“It’s shocking to realize how many disadvan-taged people there are on the North Shore,” said Evison. “Most of us don’t know because we don’t have an occasion to know.”

In 1990, Evison started Calibre Landscaping, an eco-friendly garden design and construction company. He is also the West Van director of the North Shore Family Court - Youth Justice Committee.

Nora GambioliWebsite: noragambioli.com Resides: Ambleside

Nora Gambioli’s family tree has strong roots in West Van. In the 1920s, her great grandfather

Henry Stone immigrated from England to Olde Caulfeild — and

later designed St. Francis-in-the-Wood church.These days, keeping municipal taxes reason-

able without undermining service and infrastruc-ture needs is the priority in West Van, figures Gambioli.

“Think ‘smarter’, for example, recover gas, phosphates, ash, heat and water from the [pro-posed] Lions Gate Waste Water Treatment Plant to provide revenue,” said Gambioli.

She also believes time will tell, through public consultation starting in January, if much efficien-

Gregg HendersonWebsite: gregghenderson.caResides: Upper Ambleside

A scenic carpenter in the movie industry, Gregg Henderson would paint a

marine park in his picture of the Ambleside waterfront.

The West Vancouver native started his car-pentry career in the early ‘70s doing small jobs in West Van, before transitioning to high-end home renovations.

The “concerned citizen” says there are too many decisions being made during in-camera meetings at West Vancouver District hall.

In the summer of 2010, Henderson was part of a citizens’ group that was successful in reversing West Van council’s decision to decommission the Ambleside boat ramp. He is now working towards the improvement and enhancement of the facility.

Henderson says he is not in favour of high- rise buildings in West Van.

“They are going to put this [high rise] in the middle of the most clogged intersection in West Van,” said Henderson, referring to a proposed tower at Park Royal.

David JonesWebsite: electdavidjones.caResides: Ambleside

Self-proclaimed relentless vol-unteer David Jones is hoping to be the voice of change at West

Vancouver District hall.“Basically the nuts and bolts of

everything is I get involved with politics when I think there needs to be change,” said Jones.

He wants to open the lines of communica-tion between West Van residents and district council.

“I don’t believe people are being involved in the some of the decisions that are being made,” said Jones.

He cites the recent addition of new bus shel-ters in West Van as an example.

“Is it worth it, when you see how much anger it is causing the community?” asks Jones.

He also has a clear idea of how to make the revitalization of Ambleside work.

“It needs to be developed into something sim-

ilar to Coal Harbour or Whistler, with anchor tenants and smaller tenants,” said Jones.

Jones’ current volunteer portfolio includes the Coho Festival and the West Vancouver - Sunshine Coast - Sea to Sky Country Electoral District.

Michael LewisWebsite: electlewis.wordpress.comStearman Beach area

Restoring fiscal and operation-al discipline to local government is a priority for West Vancouver

incumbent councillor Michael Lewis.

Maintaining or enhancing municipal services while “respecting residents’ finite ability to pay” is also important, he said.

His solution: West Van should share compo-nents of administrative services with neighbour-ing governments thereby reducing managerial and supervisory overheads.

Lewis says he generally supports the goal of revitalizing Ambleside. He weighs in on the arts component of the Ambleside Now project.

“The suggestion of a large “gallery” at the foot of 14th [Street] is illogical and has met with considerable and, in my view, appropriate nega-tive reaction from the public,” said Lewis. “My sense is that an arts enclave in Ambleside must be of a less imposing scale and complimentary to the natural environment.”

Lewis, a semi-retired executive from the tele-com sector, who currently provides managerial consulting services, is also president of both the Autism Society of B.C. and Canada.

Max NikpayWebsite: members.shaw.ca/maxnikpayResides: British Properties

Longtime West Vancouverite Max Nikpay wants to create a stronger relationship between

residents and city hall.“Being councillor is not just

reading staff reports on Friday evening and par-ticipating at council meetings, it requires hours of public connections, participa-tions and discussions,” said Nikpay.

The biggest issues in West Vancouver are affordable housing, municipal overspending and lack of transpar-ency, he believes.

Collection Services During a Snow Event

Schools can also be affected by heavy snowfall:In the event of a major snowfall, local area schools may be closed. Please check the following websites during a snow event for more information.

North Vancouver School District: www.nvsd44.bc.caWest Vancouver School District: www.sd45.bc.ca or (604) 981-1234 (24 hours)Independent/Private Schools: Please contact the school directly.

Snow season is upon us. Your municipality monitors road and weather conditions throughout the winter months. When snow and icy conditions are forecast, crews and equipment are dispatched to clear roads on a priority basis.

The first priority for municipal crews, during and after a snowfall, is to clear the major arterial streets, as well as bus routes, bus stops, and access to emergency services (e.g. fire halls, ambulance stations and hospital). The second priority is to clear collector streets and routes leading to schools.

Once conditions have stabilized on first and second priority routes, crews will begin to clear local streets. Local streets are not ploughed immediately during a snow event. In the event of continual snowfall, it may take longer than normal for ploughs to reach local streets as first and second priority streets will require additional attention. Thank you for your cooperation and patience during a snow event as municipal crews work to keep your streets clear and safe. For more information on your municipality’s snow and ice removal policy and how you can prepare for winter storms, please contact your local municipality.

Before a snowfall: Prepare for an emergency. Keep an emergency kit and supplies in your home, office and car. During an emergency, such as a large-scale power outage, residents may be without services or assistance for up to 72 hours. Visit the North Shore Emergency Management Office website at www.nsemo.org, or call 604-969-7000 to find out more about personal emergency preparedness and for information on free emergency preparedness workshops.

Stock up on food supplies and ensure that your prescriptions are filled. Note the locations of fire hydrants and catch basins around your property. Purchase and install quality snow tires. Tune-up your vehicle for winter driving. Keep a shovel and supply of salt handy for sidewalks and driveways. Make alternate arrangements (such as taking public transit) to commute to work, school, or medical appointments when it snows. Monitor local weather reports.

When it snows:Drive only if necessary. Public transit is a good alternative.Park in your driveway, not on the street. This will allow snow ploughs and salt spreaders the room required to safely clear the street. This is particularly important on cul-de-sacs and narrow roadways. Please note that lanes/alleys are not ploughed during a snow event.Observe posted signs that may restrict on-street parking in some areas during periods of heavy snow.

Do not abandon your car if it gets stuck. Illegally parked cars that hamper snow clearing may be ticketed and/or towed.Remove snow from your sidewalk. The owner or occupier of an industrial, commercial or multi-family property is required to remove any accumulation of snow or ice from the sidewalks and footpaths bordering the real property as soon as practicable after the cessation of any snow or ice accumulation. Residents of single-family properties are also asked to clear snow and ice from sidewalks in front of their home in order to ensure the safety of pedestrians. (Note: the City of North Vancouver bylaw also requires removal of snow from sidewalks fronting residential properties). Please visit your municipal website to learn more about snow clearing bylaws in your community:

District of North Vancouver Street and Traffic Bylaw 7125 City of North Vancouver Street and Traffic Bylaw 6234 District of West Vancouver Traffic and Parking Bylaw 4370

Check your municipality’s website for snow shovelling tips.Clear snow away from fire hydrants. This will make it easier for the fire department to locate the hydrant in the event of an emergency.

Clear snow and ice from the catch basins in front of your home or business. This will allow for proper drainage and will reduce the chance of flooding on the street and on property. Check on neighbours and family members who may need some extra assistance.

In the event of hazardous road conditions due to snow and ice, it may be necessary to suspend garbage, recycling and green waste collection in some or all parts of the North Shore.

Garbage Collection (North Van District): If your garbage collection (single family or multi-family) is missed, then collection will not occur until the next scheduled collection day and the container limit will be increased to accommodate the missed pick-up. Please remove your garbage containers from the curb and store until the next scheduled collection day.Garbage Collection (North Van City and West Van): If your garbage collection is missed, then crews will attempt to make the collection the following day. Please ensure that your containers are not buried in snow. If crews are unable to collect your material the next day, then it will be collected on your next scheduled collection day and the container limit will be increased to accommodate the missed pickup.Note for all North Shore residences: If your garbage/recycling is normally collected from the street: Do not place your garbage cans and recycling containers on the road. Keep them on the sidewalk or boulevard and remove them as soon as possible after they have been emptied. Recycling Collection (North and West Vancouver): If recycling collection is missed, crews will attempt service the following day. If crews are not able to collect your material the next day, please remove it from the curb until your next scheduled collection day.

Green Waste Collection: will be suspended in the District of North Vancouver during snow and icy conditions, allowing crews to focus on garbage collection. Green waste collection may also be suspended in the City of North Vancouver and District of West Vancouver. Please check with your municipality for more information

Stay away from rivers and creeks. With heavy rainfall or melting snowpack comes increased risk, due to elevated water levels, swift moving currents, and bank erosion.

Report downed power lines. Stay clear and contact BC Hydro at 1-888-POWERON. Go to BC Hydro’s website for further information about power outages at www.bchydro.com/outages.

Following the First World War the Poppy became recognized as the International sacred symbol of Remembrance, because among the blood soaked, barren battlefields, scarlet red Poppies

began to grow where none had blossomed before. It was a sign of hope and new beginnings. The significance of the Poppy for Remembrance was poetically scribed by Canadian Medical Officer, Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae in his famous poem, “In Flanders Fields”.

Starting in 1922, Canadian Lapel Poppies were made by veterans working for Department of Soldiers Civil Re-establishment unit, Vet Craft program. This provided small incomes for veterans and their families, allowing them to take an active role in preserving the traditionof Remembrance. In 1996, The Royal CanadianLegion assumed responsibility for the production of the Lapel Poppies.

The annual Canadian Poppy Campaign commences the last Friday in October and continues until November 11th. Each Branch of The Royal Canadian Legion has a Poppy Fund and volunteer poppy campaigners raise funds throughout the Poppy Campaign.

Poppy funds are strictly governed and used to support any person who is serving or who has honourably served in the Canadian Forces and their dependants who are in need of assistance, namely: low rental housing, housing for homeless veterans, medical equipment, day care, meals on wheels, the Veterans Transition Program, bursaries and related services for veterans and their families.

Poppy funds may also be used to assist with disaster relief when declared by Governments.

BASES LOADED - Stephan Grisbrook, owner of the North Van’s Inside Performance.Rob Newell photo

Swinging for the fencesSEAN KOLENKOS T A F F R E P O R T E R

After more than two decades working as a commercial pilot, North Vancouver’s Stephan

Grisbrook had some thinking to do. Grisbrook’s then-employer Japan Airlines had decided to close down the base Grisbrook worked at in 2009, sending 160 pilots packing.

He took some time off, evaluating his options. With three baseball-playing sons, all members of the North Shore Twins squad at various times, Grisbrook was struck with an idea — an indoor training facility for the Twins. In the off-season, Twins’ players had to drive to Richmond or to the University of British Columbia for their workouts.

So, Grisbrook went hunting for an old warehouse the team could use. After some looking, Grisbrook says he found a place he didn’t pursue because of zon-ing issues, his plans began to evolve. Instead of focusing on a place solely for the Twins, Grisbrook envisioned a full-fledged training facility where a number of teams can do their workouts.

Fast forward two years and Grisbrook is opening the doors to Inside Performance, an integrated heathcare and athletic training facility. Tucked between steel yards and railway tracks, in the shadow of the Second Narrows bridge, Inside Performance boasts turf-laid batting cages, full gym, as well as a chiropractic and massage area.

“Our niche is baseball and girls fast-pitch,” Grisbrook told The Outlook.

“But we’re open to other sports as well”

Grisbrook said Inside Performance is also offering “functional movement screens,” a system where athletes do a series of exercises — think lunges and jumping — and trainers use the results to craft a personalized workout.

Thus far, seven of the eight little leagues on the North Shore have signed up for training, as have the North Shore Twins and the Coquitlam Reds. The baseball academy planned for West Vancouver’s Sentinel secondary next year will also use Inside Performance for training.

[email protected]/seankolenko

New baseball facility, Inside Performance, offers athletes a range of workout options

are not really difficult, if councillors will take positive actions rather than playing with words, impeding any constructive accomplishment and being just politicians,” he said.

A librarian by profession, Nikpay holds a BA and post BA diploma in political science from SFU. He is also a member of the British Properties Homeowners Association.

“The reasons in which I have followed politi-cal science more in depth are because I believe, nowadays, the political language and action stem from political science,” said Nikpay. “ West Vancouver is a little district integrated into a larger national and international community.”

Trish PanzWebsite: trishpanz.comResides: Eagle Harbour

Trish Panz’s re-election platform focuses on preserving the heritage of Ambleside and the natural envi-ronment of West Vancouver.

Implementing West Vancouver’s Parks Master Plan in 2012, introducing an invasive species policy and ensuring long-term protection of the mountainside would be Panz’s goals, if elected.

Her vision for Ambleside is to renew the 1300-block of Marine Drive to fit with today — “a place that embraces the arts, our heritage, inno-vation, in keeping with our natural environment, connects us to our waterfront and invites and includes all of us”.

Panz believes the biggest issue facing West Van, and North Van, taxpayers is the replace-ment of the Lions Gate Treatment Plant.

“The goal should always be to find a way to work together for the health of the region,” she said.

A physical therapist that has worked in both public and private practice, Panz is also active in non-profit volunteering as part of the Master Gardener of BC program.

Carolanne ReynoldsWebsite: carolanne.orgResides: Dundarave

Perennial District of West Vancouver council watcher and one-time councillor Carolanne Reynolds is hoping for another

crack at civic politics.Her election platform focuses on transparency,

inclusiveness and collaboration in the decision-making process on DWV council. She lobbied for nine months and succeeded in getting the

correspondence list put back on the West Van council agenda.

Reynolds believes the biggest project facing West Van is the Ambleside Now project; the big-gest issue is trying to get a handle on the budget-ing.

“It’s time for a zero-based budget,” said Reynolds. “Value for money — we have to look at that as well.”

Reynolds, the editor of online newsletter West Van Matters, figures she only missed 10 council meetings since 1988. Reynolds is a small busi-ness owner and is also the chair of Heritage West Vancouver and past president of the Ambleside and Dundarave Ratepayers’ Association.

Bill SoprovichNo websiteResides: Ambleside

Bill Soprovich has listened to queries — big and small — from West Van residents during his reg-ular walkabouts on the Ambleside Sea Walk and in the local business

community.The five-term councillor says the issues of the

day are civic finances and housing. “We will look for efficiencies with the new

[West Van District] financial officer, while overall still providing quality services and keeping taxes as low as we can; and we can do it,” promises Soprovich.

The “housing pilot program” where council looked at allowing laneway homes as part of an affordable housing strategy remains unfinished business, said Soprovich.

He remains skeptical on the new $39.5 million price tag for the proposed public safety building, saying the cost must be covered wholly by the sale of municipal property in the 1300-block of Marine Drive.

Soprovich, a retired barber, is the past chair-man of West Van Community Day and past president of the West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce.

One-time West Van councillor Vivian Vaughan will call for an external review of municipal oper-ations, if elected.

“I suppose my literature draws attention to unsustainable municipal spending,” said Vaughan.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Home-based Businesses Connecting in West Vancouver

West Vancouver’s Facts and Stats (2006 census) states that half of its employed labour force who work within West Van are home-based.

If you are part of this lucky and growing sector, you probably enjoy setting your own hours of work, bal-ancing family and work responsibili-ties, avoiding a daily commute over the bridge and of course cost–saving. You also benefi t from friendly zoning bylaws.

For many of us who have chosen this way of doing business, these factors are compelling. We thrive on the open time and space to think and work creatively. On the other hand, isolation can be a down-side. We have the effi ciencies and speed of all the new technologies but we sometimes miss our associates. Clearly though, the benefi ts win or there wouldn’t be close to 4,000 of us.

And it only takes a bit of effort to fi nd ways to connect with our com-munity, whether through a break at a café, a sea walk or networking with other local business people who just might be looking to meet someone with the very skill set you have.

This has been my experience in joining the West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce and participating in the Business to Business Breakfast Club where the focus is to provide leads to others.

My home-based studio in Ambleside is a perfect fi t for my fl ower business which focuses mainly on weddings and special events. I look forward to many more years of being my own boss while staying connected.

She questions the value for money “a small munici-pality like West Vancouver” receives from Metro Vancouver, saying it is possible to approach the prov-ince to change the legislation.

On the Ambleside Now project, Vaughan describes the proposals on the table as being completely out of touch with the heritage community.

“I don’t think people want a mini Shangri-La in the middle of Ambleside,” she said.

The West Vancouver police station should remain in the heart of the community on Marine Drive where it can be easily accessed by all, added Vaughan, who fig-ures the Ambleside Now project should be funded by “developing the empty land around municipal hall”.

The registered professional engineer has worked in government, managing energy conservation pro-grams. She was actively involved in the District of West Vancouver’s Heritage Strategic Plan Implementation Working Group in 2008.

Candidates for school board (West Vancouver)

Christine BanhamNo websiteResides: Cedardale

West Van resident Christine Banham could have gone either way — municipal or school board — with her candidacy for local government.

“A lot of people have been saying why don’t I run for council; but right now it’s not the right time,” said Banham.

She is active in a myriad of District of West Vancouver working groups including being a member of the Port of Metro Vancouver’s North Shore Waterfront Liaison Committee.

But for now, her main focus is on education in West Vancouver.

“I think the school board is an important part that gets overlooked,” says Banham.

She said the challenge in West Van is developing pro-grams that will prepare students for the diverse range of vocational or professional career paths.

“When we commit to a new program, what does that set us up for down the road? questions Banham. “Will it be feasible down the road?

The Scotiabank senior manager of global transaction banking said it’s prudent to have a good assessment.

Carolyn BroadyNo websiteResides: Ambleside

Carolyn Broady — current West Van District Parent Advisory Council presi-dent — is ready to make an upwards move in education advocacy to trustee.

Since her children were young, the stay-at-home mom has volunteered extensively in the local education community.

“I really like the work they are doing in the West Van School District; they are doing innovative things,” said Broady.

But sometimes keeping ahead of the education curve comes at a cost, she said.

“I find [the WVSD] is moving forward very quickly with technology,” added Broady. “My aim is to maintain a consistent balance between the use of technology and the delivery of core curriculum while upholding achieve-ment levels.”

Broady said her son - who attends West Vancouver

Secondary - has done some pretty innovative things in the classroom around blogging; however, she maintains that the technology focus is not consistent across all schools.

Cindy DekkerNo websiteResides: Caufeild

“There is so much exciting stuff coming down the pipe,” says incum-bent trustee Cindy Dekker, of the West Van School District.

She is inspired by the renewal of the BC education ministry.

“I would love to implement that and bring [the West Van education] system up into the 21st cen-tury,” said Dekker.

She accepts there are challenges to being innova-tors and leaders in delivering the very best in edu-cation with the resources available, but believes the WVSD has developed good relationships with its partner groups.

At a District Parent Advisory Council meeting in West Vancouver in March, Dekker - the board’s trustee liaison to DPAC - shared her reflections as a parent whose youngest of two daughters was graduating from high school.

She opened by acknowledging the key role that other parents played in raising her girls — a net-work of mentors.

Dekker also fundraises for the VGH and UBC Hospital Foundation.

Reema FarisWebsite: reemafaris.comResides: Ambleside

Reema Faris walked into her first Parents Advisory Council meeting in 2006 and walked out as École Cedardale’s representative to West Van DPAC.

Are we rushing too quickly to embrace social media as a teaching tool?, asked Faris.

“I think one of the concerns I have, is at the end of the day the world still operates on the principle of human connection,” she said. “A rush to intro-duce technology is at the risk of losing these con-nections.”

Each student in the West Van School District has a dashboard - a webpage that allows them to inter-act with teachers and fellow students. Faris said this is emphasizing the Facebook aspect of com-munications. “I’m not sure if that’s where I would place my priority,” she added. “I would rather see these students learn how to do a spreadsheet before they learn to ‘friend’ someone.”

A Masters student at SFU in Graduate Liberal Studies, Faris also works as a teaching assistant in SFU’s Department of Humanities.

Whatever happened to Lynn, Al and Lefty

Hendrickson?

This story is all about Lynn, Al and Lefty Hendrickson of whom I’m sure you’ve heard.

What? You don’t know Lynn? Or Al? How about Lefty?

Okay, better grab a cup of your favourite coffee, take a comfortable chair and learn the tale of some-one who – at 15 – hitchhiked the Sea to Sky Highway to play Gordon Sturtridge League football, then later walked on at the University of Oregon to find himself playing at the NCAA Division 1 level and eventual-ly became the only B.C. Lions player to have his sons grow up to play for the Lions as well.

That’s right, I said someone. You see, Lynn, Al and Lefty are one and the same person.

Lynn Hendrickson grew up in Squamish, the youngest of three broth-ers. “I was six or seven years old,” Lefty was recalling over the phone the other day from Kelowna where he’s lived the past 18 years. “I idolized my older brother Gary and he batted left-handed. So I batted left.”

His brothers began calling him Lefty. The nickname was really quite ridiculous because he did everything else right-handed.

“When we played cowboys and Indians, they wanted a bad guy and Lefty was a good name for a bad guy. I guess I wanted the nickname.”

For sure he did a few years later when a reporter called him at home, asking his brother if he could speak to his sister Lynn. “That one really got me,” Lefty remembers. “That really enforced the situation. It was like a boy named Sue. After a while my mom started calling me Lefty. She’s 97 now and she still calls me Lefty.”

Lefty and a buddy would hitchhike both ways between Squamish and West Van in order to play with Coach Harvey Sedgwick’s Rough Riders in the GSL.

“We were only 15 at the time, so we didn’t have a driver’s licence. That was the first year I played orga-nized football. Ricky Hunter and I never missed a practice or a game. We hitchhiked to Horseshoe Bay and then Harvey would take us from there to Ambleside. It would be twice a week for practice. For game days, my folks drove us down.

“We didn’t have a problem getting a ride. We weren’t waiting very long. Guys got to know us. They’d see us with our football gear. Lots of time we were getting a ride with the same people. After a while they’d say, ‘Oh, it’s you guys again, eh?’ All in all, it usually worked out to be an hour or an hour and a half.

“We won the championship the year we played with the Rough Riders.”

The following year was a diffi-cult one however. Lefty ended up in Pearson Hospital for several months with pleurisy, being tested for TB and getting rheumatic fever around the

same time as well. He was out of sports and behind in his schooling.

He elected to transfer to West Van High for the 1961-62 school year, taking half Grade 12 and half senior matric (Grade 13) courses. It meant living in Vancouver with his grandmother and driving to school in an old Morris Oxford automobile he had.

Each high school sport made its own eligibility rules in those days. He was ineli-gible for football but okay for basketball where he was a North Shore first all-star as the Highlanders won the Howe Sound tournament and went on to finish eighth in B.C. after losing their opening game to Victoria, the eventual champions.

His team-mates knew him as Lefty, but in the class-room he went by Al. He didn’t think teachers would want to call him by his nickname but he didn’t want to revert to Lynn, so he went by his middle name. If you check out the grad photos now in the upper hall at West Van Secondary, you’ll find his picture above the name A. Hendrickson.

Since he couldn’t play school foot-ball, he played quarterback with the Junior Big Four League’s North Shore Cougars, something he did for four years, a couple of seasons while attending the University of Oregon during the rest of the year. This was

at the same time Harry Jerome was running for Oregon.

“The reason I chose Oregon was because at that point they were one of the top three universities for physical education in the States. I also wanted to play basket-

ball or football. I went down there as a walk-on.”

He redshirted in 1964 and played for the Ducks in the 1965, ’66 and ’67 seasons, the last two as the starting tight end. He was an honourable mention Pac 8 Conference selection one year.

Lefty follows his alma mater’s football closely and has a tough decision coming up November 5. He has season tickets for Lions’ games and B.C. has a key final regular-season game with Montreal at B.C. Place that night. But Oregon, currently ranked seventh in U.S. col-lege ball, plays the University of Washington that same evening in Seattle.

After his football career was over, Lefty lived for almost 20 years in Manitoba where he had a Ford dealership in Brandon. The last seven years he’s been in sales with Falcon Railing Manufacturing in Kelowna.

His sons, Craig and Scott

followed in their dad’s footsteps, both playing football at the University

of Minnesota and as offensive linemen in the CFL (Craig with Saskatchewan, Edmonton, B.C., Winnipeg and Toronto from 1991-99 and back with B.C. 2000-01; Scott with Saskatchewan from 1992-97 and B.C. 1998-2000).

For a time they were teammates with B.C., including 2000 when the Lions won the Grey Cup, although Scott left the team 12 games into the season to begin a firefighting career. He lives in Tsawwassen and is sta-tioned in Kitsilano. Craig is lead pastor at Living Hope, the Brooklyn First Free Methodist Church in New York, after six years pastoring in Los Angeles.

So, all in all, living the life of Lefty has been pretty good.

This is episode 438 from Len Corben’s treasure chest of stories – the great events and the quirky – that bring to life the North Shore’s rich sports history.

The British Columbia Ferry Commission, the independent regulator of BC Ferries, has been mandated by the provincial government to review the Coastal Ferry Act and to make recommendations on potential changes to the Act which would better enable the commissioner to balance the financial sustainability of the ferry operator and the interest of ferry users. The commissioner has been conducting public consultation meetings in coastal communities served by BC Ferries and is inviting additional input on a number of key issues described in a series of discussion papers.

These issues will be considered by the commissioner during his review of the Act and deal with interests of ferry users, financial sustainability objectives, the balance between the two, price cap regulation and cross-subsidization. Visit www.bcferrycommission.com/reports-press/whats-new/coastal-ferry-act-review/ for copies of these discussion papers. Comments on these papers or any other issue relevant to the Coastal Ferry Act review can be e-mailed to [email protected] or mailed to BC Ferry Commission, RPO Hillside, Box 35119, Victoria BC, V8T 5G2.

For every season there is a different chef in West Vancouver writer Evaleen Jaager Roy’s tribute to the beauties of our gardens and the

bounties of our restaurants.Her new book is called Four Chefs One Garden.

For the readers who are gardeners, each sec-tion not only gives you practical advice on what will grow well that season, but she encourages her readers to slow down and, yes, smell the roses (summer), rhododendrons (spring), hibiscus (autumn), and hellebores (winter.)

For the readers who are gourmands, she pairs each season with a chef who brings the flavours of the season to life: Michel Jacob of Le Crocodile (spring); Umberto Menghi of Il Giardino, Il Caminetto, Trattoria and Umberto’s (summer); Hidekazu Tojo of Tojo’s (autumn); and Vikram Vij of Vij’s and Rangoli (winter.)

With winter solstice soon upon us – and the hope it brings of longer days – we turn to Vikram Vij to fill us with the warm glow of a wonderful dinner shared with family and friends.

Vij Family’s Chicken Curry

“This was the original chicken curry that my mom used to make in my apartment when I first opened Vij’s in 1994 and didn’t have the appropriate licences to cook in the newly acquired cafe. It is based on a family recipe.”

Serves 6

½ cup (125 ml) canola oil2 cups (500 ml) finely chopped onion (2 large)3 inch (7.5 ml) stick of cinnamon3 tbsp (45 ml) finely chopped fresh garlic 2 tbsp (30 ml) finely chopped peeled ginger2 cups (500 m) chopped tomatoes (2 large)1 tbsp (15 ml) salt

1 tbsp (15 ml) ground cumin1 tbsp (15 ml) ground coriander1 tbsp (15 ml) garam masala 1 tsp (5 ml) turmeric ½ tsp (2 ml) ground black pepper½ tsp (2 ml) ground cayenne pepper3 lbs (1.5 kg) chicken thighs, bone in1 cup (250 ml) sour cream, stirred * do not add if wish a lighter curry 2 cups (500 ml) water½ cup (125 ml) chopped cilantro (including stems)

In a large pan, heat oil on medium heat for 1 min-ute. Add onions and cinnamon and sauté for 5 to 8 minutes, until onions are golden. Add garlic and sauté for another 4 minutes. Add ginger, tomatoes, salt, cumin, coriander, garam masala, tumeric, black pepper, and cayenne. Cook this masala for 5 minutes or until the oil separates from the masala.

Remove skin from chicken thighs and discard. Wash thighs, pat dry and add to the masala. Stir well. Cook chicken thighs for 10 minutes, uncov-ered, until chicken looks cooked on the outside. Add sour cream and water and stir well. Increase the heat to medium-high. When the curry starts to boil, cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times until chicken is completely cooked. Poke the thighs with a knife. If the meat is still pink, cook for 5 more minutes. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick. Cool curry for at least half an hour.

Transfer cooked chicken to a mixing bowl. Wearing latex gloves, peel chicken meat off the bones. Discard bones and stir chicken back into the curry. Just before serving, heat curry on medi-um heat until it starts to boil lightly. Stir in cilan-tro. Divide curry equally among six bowls and serve.

—Martha Perkins

From the garden to the plate West Van author’s new cookbook pairs Vancouver chefs with the season that inspires their cooking

the private school offerings in the area, said incumbent trustee Jane Kellett.

“We have to ensure that we have funding from the government to continue to offer a variety of programs of choice that attract new students,” she added. “It is challenging and stimulating in this time of major changes to the way education is delivered.”

Kellett, a retired federal government employee, is a nine-year trustee veteran and director of the BC School Trustees Association board. She is also very involved in the community of Bowen Island, volunteering her time for a number of initiatives.

Kellett chaired both the Bowen Island library board and youth board - and was instrumental in opening a teen centre. She also understands the challenge of ferrying high school students on Bowen Island to West Van for school.

“It’s a long day for the kids,” she explained.

Dave StevensonNo websiteResides: Horseshoe Bay

Modeling some senior high school classes after a university tutorial setting might better prepare students for the transition to post secondary institu-tions, says incumbent trustee Dave Stevenson.

He figures that move could free up teaching staff and put more resources into younger grades.

“We need to look at education in a different way,” says Stevenson.

The biggest challenge facing the West Van School District, in Stevenson’s opinion, is making sure the new senior administration has the support they need to keep education in West Van on the cutting edge.

And from a financial standpoint that’s not easy, says Stevenson.“We get hit with unexpected costs sometimes from Victoria,” he

explains. “We don’t operate with a lot of extra money around.”Stevenson has spent 18 years as a trustee in West Van. He

works with youth and families as a counsellor, is a part-time instructor at Douglas College and estimates that he has coached 40 sports teams in the West Van community.
