39 North Shore runners in Boston

Thirty-nine runners from the North Shore were sched-uled to run in the Boston

Marathon when two explosions on Monday put a fatal ending to the annual event.

According to reports, three people died and 150 more were injured from two blasts near the finish line this morning. Heightening fears, a fire and possible explosion followed around half an hour later at the JFK Library a few miles away.

In total, 25 runners from North Vancouver and 14 from West Vancouver were among 2,000 Canadians who travelled to Boston.

“Thank you all for thinking of me. I got through the finish about half an hour before the explosions,” said North Van runner Annette Wotherspoon on Facebook. “My friend Irene just made it through. Other friends did not get to finish.

“Prayers go out to the families and people who were killed and hurt.”

Jason Haight, another North Van runner in Boston, said on Facebook he had just finished the race when the explo-sions went off.

“I am fine but a horrible situation for Boston, the mara-thon and all the runners, family, friends and volunteers,” he wrote.

John Weston, MP for West Van-Sunshine Coast- Sea to Sky Country, expressed his concern on Twitter after the explosions.

Having run in the marathon twice in the early 1980s and lived in Boston while at university, the tragedy hit home.

“...I can say it ought to be a day of joy for all. My heart goes out to Bostonians & visiting runners,” he tweeted.

People who enjoy biking, walking and running associate these activities with freedom, Weston, who is still an avid runner, told The Outlook on the phone.

“Freedom is part of what we do,” he added. “For anyone to get in the way of that, not only is it shocking and trag-ic for the people who were killed or hurt, but it’s a real reminder of how important our freedom is.”

Jordan Back finished the Boston Marathon in 2 hours 41 minutes.

The 30-year-old North Vancouver runner was already back at his hotel room, located about a mile and half from the finish line, freshly show-ered and enjoying a celebratory beer when a moment of triumph suddenly turned into an unfolding tragedy.

After witnessing a cavalcade of emergency vehicles speed by his hotel, Back made his way to street level and asked a police officer what was going on. The officer said there had been reports of two explosions at the fin-

ish line — and that’s all he knew.“[It] quickly turned from celebration to an incred-

ible tragedy,” Back told The Outlook on Monday.“It didn’t sink in right away. It was surreal. There

were all these people running in, thousands of them still on the course because this was at about the four-and-half-hour mark of the marathon… and the crowds were still cheering, the music was still going, people hadn’t heard the reports — they had no idea what had just taken place a mile and a half down the road, which is just a horrific scene.”

Back’s immediate concern was for the group of other runners from Vancouver that he’d travelled to Boston with.

“I stayed down there because I still had some friends out there who were running; I came down here with a group of about eight. They’re all accounted for now and thankfully they all finished well before this happened.”

Three people were killed and 150 more wounded as a result of two blasts that occurred Monday afternoon near the finish line of the legendary race.

As news of the Boston Marathon bombings spread in the media, Back’s cellphone started ringing non-stop.

“People were, as you could imagine, really con-cerned.”

Back, a sales rep for CKNW, had met up in Boston with his mom Holly, a former North Vancouver school board trustee.

When reached by The Outlook shortly before 3 p.m. (PST) Monday, Jordan said the atmosphere was a stark contrast to just hours before when thousands of people lined the streets and music filled the air.

“It’s kind of this eerie silence but you hear these emergency vehi-cles go by… a police car just went by with its lights on,” he said.

“[I’m] really still absorbing it. I don’t think it’s real-ly sunk in. Like I said, to go from feeling this incred-ible high to what I feel now is quite a contrast and I don’t think it’s fully sunk in.”

Port Metro Vancouver approved the massive expansion of a North Vancouver grain terminal Monday, green-lighting a $120-million project

that’s still vehemently opposed by the City of North Vancouver, the Squamish Nation and many North Shore residents.

The Winnipeg-based Richardson International applied to the federal port authority in October to build 28 new concrete storage silos on its Burrard Inlet site, increasing the terminal’s export capacity from three million tonnes of grain and oilseeds annually to five million tonnes by 2015.

But the application ran into trouble almost immediately as residents demanded compensation for the noise, traf-fic, pollution and view impacts that the construction and operation of the new eastward wing of 50-metre storage silos would have on their properties.

Richardson repeatedly responded saying it was not obliged to provide any compensation and declined all such requests.

Then in February, City of North Vancouver council made a motion formally opposing the terminal expansion on Port lands, citing what they said was a lack of communi-cation between the Port, the city and its residents.

The government of the Squamish Nation also opposes the expansion on the grounds they did not feel they were adequately consulted throughout the planning process.

In an interview with The Outlook Monday, the Port’s vice-president of corporate social responsibility, Duncan Wilson, urged those against the expansion to look beyond their local concerns to the big-picture economic benefits for the country which he said this and similar Port initia-tives would bring.

The Richardson expansion, like the recent Port-approved expansion of coal-export facilities at North Van’s Neptune Bulk Terminals, is one of six construction proj-ects on the North Shore which are part of the federal gov-

ernment’s Asia-Pacific Gateway trade initiative.“That’s what the Gateway is about; it’s about the econo-

my and it’s about jobs,” Wilson said.“We need to look at the bigger picture in terms of the

jobs and economic benefit to Canada. The North Shore terminals are estimated to generate about 12,000 direct and indirect jobs in B.C., which is about $600 million in wages annually,” he added.

Richardson president and CEO Curt Vossen said in a press release Monday that construction on the new 80,000-metric-tonne grain and oilseed annex at the Low Level Road terminal will begin immediately. The expan-sion will bring the company closer to meeting global demands for Canadian grain and oilseeds, which have out-stripped the company’s export capacity for years, Vossen said.

“This is a significant investment in our business and the biggest investment in the Port of Vancouver in more than 20 years,” he added. “Through this project, we are creating jobs, supporting Port Metro Vancouver’s vision to grow the port and ultimately helping to increase Canadian trade by remaining competitive and ensuring continued access to global markets for Prairie farmers.”

Apart from increased rail traffic and bigger bulk-carrier vessels visiting the Low Level Road terminal by 2015, the Richardson expansion will also bring new hydro-electric power lines to the terminal, the proposed routing of which is just the most recent in a long string of community com-plaints about the project.

Last month, residents of the Moodyville neighbour-hood adjacent to the terminal were shocked to learn that the Port was planning to run high-voltage power lines through the heart of the historical community. Adding insult to injury, they were told there was nothing they could do to stop it.

That touched off a firestorm of public outrage at a North Van city council meeting and ultimately led to a few councillors condoning acts of civil disobedience to block the installation of any new hydro infrastructure in Moodyville.

That installation has since been put on hold as the Port awaits a city staff report on alternative routing options for the power lines. That report, Wilson said, is expected to be released on Monday, April 22.

“Nathan! Gabby! Rebecca!” Judy Frigon calls out as she does attendance in her class of Grade

12 art students at St. Thomas Aquinas high school. Ms. Frigon, as her students call her, has been teaching for more than two decades at the North Van Catholic school.

“I fell in love with art in high school,” Frigon says.

After studying commercial art in Alberta and making a living that way, Frigon moved to Washington State with her husband and found work as an art teacher. After returning to Canada, she found a place at STA and has loved it there since.

“I teach to the world’s best students, I wanna say that,” she laughs, looking around the room of about 20 kids.

Teaching drawing, paint-ing, ceramics, fabric arts and graphic design to students in Grades 8 to 12, Frigon’s class-room is overflowing with art-work and supplies.

A large portrait of Superman, recently finished by one of her students, sits at the front of the room on display.

Frigon works hard to inspire her students and make her class fun and engaging.

“I try to do things the kids are interested in,” she says, proudly showing a set of wax candles in the shape of various sushi rolls one student made.

She’s also found inspiration from her stu-dents.

Nervous about applying for her first art exhibition, Frigon found confidence in herself by witnessing her graduating students apply-ing to colleges and universities and risking

the sting of rejection letters to pursue their dreams; that helped inspire her to take her own career to the next level and begin try-ing to show her paintings around the North Shore.

For years, she’s been painting water lilies.The fascination began years ago at her

family’s campsite in Ontario, when a young Frigon went swimming in a lake by herself one night at dusk.

“I was swimming,” she says, “and I saw the first water lily I’d seen in my life.” After head-ing closer to investigate the flower, she was caught up in the slimy tendrils of the plants below the surface.

Instead of struggling, Frigon calmed down and untangled herself.

It was this experience that piqued her interest in the water lily and made it her muse for her current exhibit at the District of North Vancouver’s District Library Gallery.

A commercial illustrator previously, Frigon’s pieces are extraordinarily detailed

and realistic. With the immense support of friends and

family, including her children who flew in to attend her exhibit’s reception, Frigon was “very scared and very happy” with the whole process. “It was a great adventure,” she says.

Part of the proceeds of her artwork sales will go towards an art scholarship at St. Thomas for Grade 12 students.

Frigon’s paintings are currently showing at the District Library Gallery at Lynn Valley Library, 1277 Lynn Valley Road, until May 21.

Don’t snooze this one out » EDitoriaL

The 2013 provincial elec-tion will be one of the most important in a generation.

At a time when the economy appears to be in slow motion, yet demands on the public purse are increasing, voters need to pay atten-tion to who’s run-ning.

Of course, we say this for every election — to no avail. Last time around, in the 2009 provincial election, only about 50 per cent of voters bothered to cast a vote.

Who is to blame and will things be any different this year?

It’s hard to say. Is it negative

advertising that turns people off? BC NDP leader Adrian Dix says so and has promised a more positive campaign. But will that end indifference or will

people turn away from boredom.

Is it helpless-ness and apathy that keep people away from the polls? Many people sim-ply don’t connect with government. BC Liberal leader

Christy Clark has tried to be a populist (pandering?) premier, appealing to the hockey mom vote, but has failed to attract women’s support, pundits say. Why?

Perhaps B.C. voters simply

distrust anything politicians say.Clearly there is a disconnect

and the media may have con-tributed to this malaise by blow-ing every little incident out of proportion. As in the story of the boy who cried wolf, many voters simply tune out after a while, yet, sadly, when there is a real issue, such as lack of funding for transit, many eligible voters simply don’t see the connection between their vote and govern-ment policy.

Instead, they leave the field to special interest groups — busi-ness, unions, lobbyists — to

hijack the results.The truth is that politicians

will only be accountable if we hold them accountable. We have a right to toss any of them out if they don’t do what they prom-ised so voters need to pay atten-tion to what politicians say and they need to find out who they are.

Over the next few weeks, The Outlook will be covering the North Shore’s four ridings with information from our local can-didates. The rest is up to you.

1 Greeting everyone at the door with a handshake and a smile, Golden Heart honouree Peter Armstrong and partner Suvina Lal get set to enjoy the evening’s festivities. 2 She is the “Absolute”queen of the spa scene and looks fabulous as a result. West Vancouver’s Wendy Cocchia, centre, chats with assistant Jennifer Trudel, left, and Tradeworks executive director Maninder Dhaliwal. 3 Former political powerhouse “Amazing Grace” McCarthy, seen here with husband Ray, still looks beautiful at age 85. The lights on the Lions Gate Bridge were her idea and are known as Gracie’s Pearls to this day. 4 A former co-recipient of the Golden Heart award on behalf of GlobalBC TV in 2011, North Van’s Brett Manlove, left, is now co-owner of RTown Vancouver. Seen here with wife Brenda, the couple shares conversation with Variety’s Sandra Lowe and

husband Chris Lowe who is regional manager of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) of BC and Yukon. 5 Always elegant and always generous, the philanthropic legacy of Rosalie and Joe Segal is legendary and they are always part of this glamorous evening. 6 Looking dapper, West Van businessman Martin Charlwood, of Century 21 fame, escorts the beautiful Candace Alderson down the red carpet. 7 Making it look easy at 95 years young, the “King of Swing” and B.C.’s best band leader Dal Richards attends the gala with wife Muriel.

Variety BC – The Children’s Charity is one of the most prestigious charities in the

province. Their tireless work behind the scenes with special-needs kids is exceptional and heart-warming. Only makes sense then that one of the awards is called the Golden Heart Award in honour of individuals who make a difference in our community. This year’s gala honouree is Peter R.B. Armstrong, of Rocky Mountaineer fame, who has literally donated millions of dollars to over 200 different charities throughout the years. The special gala dinner was held at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver which was fitting in more than one way because rumour has it Peter used to work there as a doorman years ago. Some even say that’s where he got the idea to start his first tour company. Congrats to Peter and everyone involved.

Electric AvenuesNorth Shore entrepreneur Tyler Russell is launching the country’s first and only electric bike-share program

» COVER STORY

It’s a hundred years since electricity’s arrival on the North Shore revolution-ized the way people got around with a

streetcar system, but it seems that old electric wheel’s still in spin.

Today, just steps from where they plugged in those first trams at the foot of Lonsdale, a new public ride-share partnership between two North Vancouver art institutions hopes to prove that such revolutions are cyclical.

Enter Cafe for Contemporary Art owner Tyler Russell. You’ve met him in these pages before, but never as the boss of the North Shore Elec-tric Bikeway, a partnership between CAFCA and the Presentation House Gallery to build the country’s first and so far only electric bike-share program.

So fresh is this eco start-up idea, in fact, that when The Outlook caught up with Russell last week, all that the new business had to its decidedly cool name was a licence, a 60-person membership list and zero bikes.

But thanks to an eleventh-hour deal with North Van’s Evolution Bikes to provide a single electric-assist bicycle, that first stumbling block is now safely in the rearview.

The bike itself is an Easy Motion power-assisted pedal cruiser from the Spanish-owned BH Bicycle Corporation. It has three speeds of assistance, all controlled from a switch on the left handlebar which lets users set the pace of their ride once they’ve cranked the pedals around and built some momentum.

“Since the hills are so steep here, I bought myself an electric bike and I find it ex-tremely helpful,” says North Vancouver city mayor Darrell Mussatto, lending his full support to the North Shore Bikeway project.

However, a spiffy new e-bike does not a bike-share business make. Similar to North Shore car-share success story Car2go, whose recent move into North Vancouver has proven popular among city and district dwellers, a successful

bike-share has to be able to track who is using its product and where.So Russell enlisted the help of ViaCycle, an American bike-share company whose

GPS tracking units and sign-out software are the brains of similar pedal-bike sys-tems in Las Vegas, Philadelphia and Atlanta, where ViaCycle began just over a year ago.

ViaCycle co-founder and chief operating officer, Koiji Intle-kofer, is today based out of Seattle and didn’t mind making the trip up to meet with CAFCA staff and The Outlook to demo the company’s product.

“On the ground we have about 100 units in four programs and a lot more coming down the pipe,” Intlekofer said of ViaCycle’s growing presence in the U.S. “This year we hope to double that.”

How the melding of Evolution’s e-bike and ViaCycle’s e-brain works is the unit is mounted onto the bike’s rear rat-trap rack and secured to the frame.

The brain’s solar panel charges a battery that provides all the power the unit needs for its GPS locator and wireless sign-out system. A heavy steel bolt secures the bike elec-tronically to any standard rack and locks the wheel when the bike is not in use.

Once a user registers through ViaCycle’s software, they can sign out a bike by sending a text message — no smart-phone required — or by the mobile app or website. And with that, voila, the bike is theirs.

Because the ViaCycle system relies on online accounts and a GPS tracking system, it’s fairly inexpensive for small businesses like CAFCA and the Presentation House to operate or to join. Compared to bike-share operations

that rely on kiosks and dedicated bike racks, the infrastructure costs of the ViaCycle model are minimal.

That means the North Shore Bikeway requires no dedicated street furniture like kiosks or racks. There aren’t even stations in the traditional sense. Instead, the system relies on what’s called “geo-fencing,” a GPS tool that allows bike-share opera-tors to put a virtual fence around any part of the city they want for a station, and when the GPS locator on the bike enters that fence and is locked, it stays locked and becomes available for the next rider to rent.

What’s novel about geo-fencing is those stations can be as big as a city block or as small as a single bike rack. And, they can be temporary.

“Maybe you want to set one up around the farmer’s market but only once a week,”

bY TOdd COYnE

Intlekofer tells The Outlook while standing beside the soon-to-be sta-tion outside CAFCA. “You can do that because it literally takes two minutes to set up a station. The operator goes online and says I want this bike rack to be a station and just chooses the perimeter and it’s done; every ViaCycle bike that’s locked up to that location will auto-matically check itself back in.”

Mayor Mussatto says the use of existing city bike infrastructure for the North Shore Electric Bikeway is “quite innovative” and says that if there exist any bylaws prohibiting such profitable use of city property of which he isn’t aware, he’ll work to overcome them for the benefit of the bike-share program.

When the bikeway launches its inaugural demo rides this week, it will consist of only that single e-bike and the two stations at CAFCA and the Presentation House on Chester-

field Avenue. It’s a short route, less than a kilometre, but Russell hopes to bring four more bikes on stream this summer and then let consumer demand take it across the North Shore and, hopefully, across Metro Vancouver.

From now until May 26, wanna-be members or otherwise curious types who bring a bike helmet, some photo identification and a deposit can test drive the country’s first electric bike-share at CAFCA.

After that appetite-whetting grace period, bikeway membership will operate on a two-tiered model with pay-as-you-go membership going

for $200 per year and all-you-can-ride mem-bership for $500.

For pay-as-you-go riders, the first half-hour on the bike is free, the second half-hour will cost 75 cents and each subsequent half-hour will be $1.50.

But the bikeway isn’t looking only for rid-ers, Russell says.

Because of the low cost of setting up a station — approximately $1,500 to $2,000 depending on the bike and on a number of benefit and advertising packages the bikeway will offer — Russell hopes more local busi-nesses will pile on the bandwagon to host a station, sponsor a bike, or both.

In fact, there’s already been some interest. Fabio Scaldaferri is the co-founder and CEO of the South Burnaby-based MattressRecy-cling.ca and he tells The Outlook he plans to get in on the ground floor of the North Shore Electric Bikeway’s advertising with the hope that one day he’ll be able to ride the bikeway

around his own neighbourhood.But for now, Russell says the pace of his new venture’s growth will

take a cue from the North Shore’s history and, like the old electric streetcar system, grow organically, block by block.

“When they started the B.C. Electric Railway, it went from the waterfront to Third Street; that was all they did at first and then they gradually grew it throughout the community,” Russell says, describ-ing the initial inspiration for the North Shore Electric Bikeway name. “I wanted this to reference the electrified transportation system that existed on the North Shore many years ago. It’s like everything old is new again.”

ART TIME - Mulgrave School visual arts students and staff get ready for the opening of the IB Art Exhibition. Submitted photo

Art exhibit shows extensive training

Along with 18 other students at Mulgrave School, Debbie Pai has worked on an art collection that

reflects her style, personality and life expe-riences.

Alice in Wonderland and Party Time, two statues designed by Pai that are made to be worn, reflect the process of growing up from child to adult.

“It’s a time when we want to be both. We’re stuck in the middle,” she says in the school’s gym, the set for the IB Diploma Visual Arts exhibition that ran from April 8 to 12.

Often beginning in elementary school, these 19 students are part of an intensive visual arts program. They’re free to work in many mediums, including paint, sculpture and pho-tography.

Unlike others who had a theme in mind before beginning, Pai found her work reflected

“fantasy” only after she finished. “The theme of ‘fantasy’ resides throughout

most of my interests in novels, media and the internet world as I escape reality and jour-ney though a fictional fantasy world,” says Pai, adding she likes to work on large-scale projects because they emphasize her concepts better.

To illustrate the process of growing up, she juxtaposes Alice in Wonderland, a white dress with a big bow in the back, with Party Time, a sparkly, tight black dress. The garments are made of recycled material, including garbage bags and bubble wrap.

By participating in the IB program, visual arts teacher Catherine Hallam says her stu-dents have gained self-awareness, focus and innovation that will follow them no matter what educational paths they choose.

“…While they exhibit as a group, the individual collections stand as very per-sonal marks by very individual artists,” she explains.

Nicholas Durrans, for example, was inspired by different aspects of move-ment and motion to create a metal wire sculpture of three human forms run-ning to the finish line. Using gold, sil-ver and bronze wire, the figures’ arms and legs depict the competition.

Movement and motion is a very per-sonalized theme, he says, so each per-son looking at his artwork will have a different reaction.

Even if students don’t pursue art past high school, the skills learned in the visual art program will be useful for many careers, including business, says Hallam.

“Creativity is important for any job. It sets you apart,” she notes, admiring her students’ artwork hung from the walls of the gym.

Tinhorn Creek 2012 Gewürztraminer$18.49 | Tinhorn.com

What you want to do after a long day of work is swing by the store and grab a bag or two of Vij’s At Home curries and then zip

into a wine store to pick up a bottle of winemaker Sandra Oldfield’s lush-yet-perky Gewürztraminer.

The moment you get home, boil up a pot of water for the best boil-in-a-bag dinner around, and ensure that bottle’s nice and cold by plunging it into icy water.

Within no time, you’ll have your feet up and marvel at how those rich and spicy curry flavours are wonderfully enveloped by the wine’s opulence; full of lychee, lemonade and ginger!

» ON THE MENU

Here’s some rock-solid advice for first-timers: Try the Rosemary Rocksalt Bagel first.

So far, it’s the most popular flavour with customers and it also happens to be the namesake of mid-Lonsdale’s newest eatery.

Rosemary Rocksalt opened at 1669 Lonsdale earlier this month, bringing Montreal-style bagels and sandwiches to the neighbourhood. The bagels are baked fresh all day in a 10,000-pound stone-hearth flame oven. And the flavours here have some serious bagel cred. One of the shop’s co-founders, Parise Siegel, is the daughter of Joel Siegel, whose Siegel’s Bagels in Vancouver has been a foodie favourite for more than two decades. Parise spent 18 years in the family biz before launching Rocksalt with partner Ken Sim, the co-founder of Nurse Next Door.

I tried the Montreal Smoked Meat on a Rosemary Rocksalt bagel ($9) and I haven’t had a smoked meat sandwich as delicious and juicy as that since I lived in Montreal.

Along with offering up some amazing bagels, the new Lonsdale shop is also already proving that it’s also a good community citizen. All proceeds from the shop’s grand opening were donated to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation.

Fraîche look in the kitchenThere will be a new cook in the

kitchen at Fraîche Restaurant starting April 24. That’s when executive chef Carol Chow (right) joins the award-winning West Vancouver restaurant.

Most recently, Chow cooked in London and Shanghai as both a private chef and consulting chef. Before that, she worked as an executive chef at Gusto di Quattro, Teahouse in Stanley Park, Hart House and the old Beachside Café.

As spring continues to bloom and we bound into sunnier days (or sunnier hours; we are on the West Coast after all), fresh releases from B.C.’s brightest wineries continue making their way into town. A handful of vintage 2012 whites for you

this week, a growing season that ended just a few short months ago. The prices listed are winery-direct, expect some mild fluctuation by the time they make it into local wine stores.

Sandhill 2012 Sauvignon Blanc | $18.99 | SandhillWines.caFull disclosure: If I were to list my favourite wine grapes grown

in the Okanagan, I seriously doubt Sauvignon Blanc would crack the top ten.

It’s not that I haven’t had a few enjoyable examples of it; just more that I don’t see anything unique or very interesting that our local terroir brings to its table.

This version is indicative of some of the better local ones I’ve had, though; a textbook example of the grape, with grapefruit, lime, a light herbaceous note and some very lofty acidity.

I asked Sandhill winemaker Howard Soon why he bothers with the variety, when there’s so much more Okanagan suitability for Gamay, Riesling, Chardonnay, Syrah and so on.

He replied that it’s simply because the grape’s an ideal match for the fish and seafood from our waters, especially the halibut season we’re in the heart of right now. He’s totally right. Get to it.

Van Westen 2012 Viognier | $24.90 | VanWestenVineyards.comAs a third-generation Naramata farmer, part of winemaker Rob

Van Westen’s soul comes from the very land where these Viognier grapes are grown and for many years he’s had an uncanny way of making them sing!

The freshest of orange blossoms, a nuance of vanilla and a lashing of fireweed honey are all woven together intricately across fresh-squeezed Mandarin oranges. Go to your local cheesemonger and feel free to go nuts with pairings for this one.

Fort Berens 2012 Riesling | $17.95 | FortBerens.caI had a whirl of this brilliant wine out of Lillooet (yes, Lillooet)

the moment my deadline for this column hit, and I’m willing to receive my editor’s wrath in order to sneak it in here!

A tidal wave of peaches with lime leaf and marmalade, this pristine, thirst-quenching Riesling will make you wonder why they’re the only winery in the region.

A new summer camp in West Vancouver focusing on Japanese language and culture draws on a long legacy of cul-

tural sharing. The West Van school district’s 20-year rela-

tionship with Japan has seen teachers and students from both countries travel interna-tionally to exchange knowledge.

This is the first time, however, that stu-dents in Grades 5 to 10 will learn about Japanese culture and basic language skills during the summer.

“There are little intricacies that are part of the culture,” said Jordan Al-Assadi, a teacher at Sentinel secondary who taught in Japan for a year. “For example, Japanese people don’t shake hands as much. Instead they bow.”

Ms. Haruko Morimoto, a teacher from Tokyo, will show the students how to make origami, simple Japanese dishes and how to play traditional games. They will also have exposure to the Japanese language, learning basic grammar and greetings.

“They’ll be learning what makes Japanese people Japanese,” said Al-Assadi, adding the students come away from the camp knowing more about both traditional and pop Japanese culture.

To learn more about West Van’s education relationship with Japan, Supt. Chris Kennedy visited Mejiro Kenishin high school in Tokyo.

The school sends a large group of students to West Van each year to study English and lean more about Canadian culture. In return, teachers and students in West Van travel to Japan to study.

“Right now we have over 500 students annually in international education, but part-nership with Japan was the first [relation-ship],” said Kennedy.

The program, he added, now focuses on cultural sharing in addition to international education.

While the students will learn basic lan-guage skills, reading and writing are too com-plex to tackle during the summer camp.

But Japanese grammar is relatively easy, he added, so many students pick it up fast.

Having other languages besides English is very useful in the future, said Al-Assadi, who also speaks French, Arabic and a bit of Japanese he picked up while teaching in Tokyo. Back in West Van, students can contin-ue learning Japanese in high school.

“It will open their eyes to a different world,” he said. “Often living in West Van or North Van, we can think everything is done our way. But there is a lot more out there to learn.”

Japanese Culture & Creativity is part of West Van’s summer enrichment programs. It runs July 22 to 26 and July 29 to Aug. 2. Visit sd45.bc.ca for more information.

North Vancouver’s Kin’s Green Fighter knows staying fit is vital for a long and healthy life.

Diagnosed with colon cancer in 2009, Julie Dunsterville is on a mission to exercise and eat nutritious food every day.

She was only 39 years old when cancer struck, but is now healthy and ready to start the next phase of her life with Kin’s 13-week chal-lenge.

After speaking to a woman with breast and bone cancer, Dunsterville realized her story can help others.

“She said how inspired she felt after hearing my journey and I felt very touched,” she wrote on her Facebook page. “That is what this challenge is about — making brief but impactful connections.”

North Van man celebrates 7 years of solar energy independence

» EARTH DAY

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

You can’t miss Doug Horn’s house, espe-cially when the sun is out.

Nestled in a North Vancouver neigh-bourhood where sunny days are few and far between, when the beams do make it through, Horn’s rooftop lights up and goes to work.

For seven years the East 11th Street home-owner has more than met his household hydro needs with the power-producing tech-nology of rooftop solar panels which crank out more than a kilowatt of electrical current when the sun is shining.

In fact, Horn hasn’t seen a hydro bill in years. Instead, he gets rebates on the energy that his battery-free, grid-tied system gener-ates. On average, his panels account for 110 per cent of his electricity needs and the extra 10 per cent is sold right back to the power corp.

A self-professed “numbers guy” and “energy geek,” Horn cautions, however, that getting into the private solar energy game to turn a profit is a fool’s errand.

“When I started looking into it, I saw that these things are very expensive and are never going to pay for themselves,” Horn tells The Outlook inside his power-producing North Van home.

In fact, at about $14,000 for the panels, Horn estimates it would take a century of power savings to see a return on his invest-ment.

“One of my deciding factors was whether or not BC Hydro was going to credit me any-thing for the power I produced,” he says. “Not that it really made a difference, but it was kind of like the tipping [point].”

So when the hydro corp went live with its net-metering program in March 2004 and allowed private power producers to sell into the grid, Horn went all in.

A couple phone calls to BC Hydro and a full system certification later and Horn was, as the cliché goes, making hay while the sun shines. That’s to say that today when the sun shines on his home, Horn’s grid-tied system turns back the clock on his hydro meter as the excess energy from his home is fed into the neighbourhood. When the sun goes down, Horn’s meter spins the same costly way as yours and mine since his home requires a power inflow.

“I was the first person in the province who was generating more electricity than I used,” Horn says, proudly.

In fact, Horn’s early adoption of the pro-gram may have caught the accounts depart-ment at the power authority off guard as he says he didn’t see a regular bill or even a cost-credit statement from Hydro for two years.

“I think it just wasn’t something they had to deal with before,” he muses.

And while rooftop solar panels may seem like a smart or sexy solution to some, Horn stresses that the heart of his cost-savings sys-tem isn’t on his roof, it’s in his kitchen and his basement.

Replacing old power-sucking appliances like refrigerators, furnaces and dishwashers with newer energy-efficient models is the main savings-driver in Horn’s energy arsenal, and the move more than paid for itself in time.

“Just by doing that, I got my usage down from 15 kilowatt-hours to three kilowatt hours per day,” he says. And with a one-kilo-watt system in an area that averages, by his estimate, about 3.7 hours of sunshine per day, upgrading his appliances single-handedly took his hydro bill out of the red and into the black.

“If you just go and put solar panels on your roof without going energy efficient, it’s like putting a Band-Aid on a giant leak,” he says. “But people do it because it’s easy and you don’t have to change your habits. But I’m really about helping people understand where their energy goes and what makes sense for them.”

The dream of car racing fans to reopen the long-closed Langley Speedway in Campbell Valley Regional Park will at least get to the starting line.Metro Vancouver’s environment and parks committee voted to refer the

controversial proposal to staff to report back on feasibility and what process might be used if Metro’s board decides to advance it to public consultation.The idea is expected to face heavy opposition from horse riders who fre-quent the park, as well as other users and residential neighbours.Four Metro directors voted against the motion, citing concerns racing wouldn’t be compatible with quiet nature strolls and equestrian riding.

Surrey Coun. Barbara Steele said noise from the track would be a big issue, adding she’s also concerned the Langley Speedway Historical Society hasn’t adequately discussed its proposal with neighbours or other park users.But the majority agreed Metro should not dismiss out of hand the idea of

resurrecting the speedway, which has been closed since 1984.“In this economy, we have to look at what the people want to do,” said Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman, adding track propo-nents have taken a respectful approach and not tried to “stack the deck” with support.Responding to concerns it’s a heavily polluting sport, Banman said auto racing technology is changing and heading toward a future of electric race cars.He also noted equestrian sports aren’t emis-sion free, because horse riders typically burn fuel trucking their animals to and from Campbell Valley park.“I think there are lots of ways to resolve the problems facing this,” Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walsh said.Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin noted Metro wants to explore business partner-ships to raise more money to support re-gional parks, particularly the acquisition of more parkland.“In Stanley Park you have the aquarium, which houses whales in captivity. What’s that doing to the environment?” Martin asked. “You have the miniature train, you have Malkin Bowl and they’re all generat-ing revenue.”

She said most trails in Campbell Valley go nowhere near the racetrack area, which oc-cupies less than two per cent of the park’s 1,322 acres.Speedway society president Murray Jones said he’s pleased Metro will at least con-sider the idea.He said the the racing surface is still us-able and a demonstration race could be held there almost immediately, using basic fenc-ing and portable concessions, while more work would be needed to set up proper grandstands.Jones said Metro got 10 per cent of all speedway revenues when it was open and a similar revenue-sharing agreement in the

Proposal would bring car racing back to Campbell Valley

future could help fund regional parks.He envisions 10 to 14 race days a year, while concerts, car shows and other outdoor events could use the venue at other times.Jones said the existing 1,000 parking stalls at the track would be mainly for VIPs and the dis-abled, while most other race-goers would be expected to walk, bike or take a shuttle.Metro directors predict there will be strong opinions for and against reopening the track, particularly from motors-

port fans and horse owners, if the proposal makes it to public consultations.“You’ve got horsepower on both sides of this issue,” Langley Township Coun. Bob Long said.

NEW BEGINNING? - The styles may have changed since the heyday of the Langley Speedway, but advocates who want to reopen the racetrack hope the appetite for stock car racing hasn’t faded.Langley Speedway Historical Society photos

The dream of car racing fans to reopen the long-closed Langley Speedway in Campbell Valley Regional Park will at least get to the starting line.Metro Vancouver’s environment and parks committee voted to refer the

controversial proposal to staff to report back on feasibility and what process might be used if Metro’s board decides to advance it to public consultation.The idea is expected to face heavy opposition from horse riders who fre-quent the park, as well as other users and residential neighbours.Four Metro directors voted against the motion, citing concerns racing wouldn’t be compatible with quiet nature strolls and equestrian riding.

Surrey Coun. Barbara Steele said noise from the track would be a big issue, adding she’s also concerned the Langley Speedway Historical Society hasn’t adequately discussed its proposal with neighbours or other park users.But the majority agreed Metro should not dismiss out of hand the idea of

resurrecting the speedway, which has been closed since 1984.“In this economy, we have to look at what the people want to do,” said Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman, adding track propo-nents have taken a respectful approach and not tried to “stack the deck” with support.Responding to concerns it’s a heavily polluting sport, Banman said auto racing technology is changing and heading toward a future of electric race cars.He also noted equestrian sports aren’t emis-sion free, because horse riders typically burn fuel trucking their animals to and from Campbell Valley park.“I think there are lots of ways to resolve the problems facing this,” Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walsh said.Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin noted Metro wants to explore business partner-ships to raise more money to support re-gional parks, particularly the acquisition of more parkland.“In Stanley Park you have the aquarium, which houses whales in captivity. What’s that doing to the environment?” Martin asked. “You have the miniature train, you have Malkin Bowl and they’re all generat-ing revenue.”

She said most trails in Campbell Valley go nowhere near the racetrack area, which oc-cupies less than two per cent of the park’s 1,322 acres.Speedway society president Murray Jones said he’s pleased Metro will at least con-sider the idea.He said the the racing surface is still us-able and a demonstration race could be held there almost immediately, using basic fenc-ing and portable concessions, while more work would be needed to set up proper grandstands.Jones said Metro got 10 per cent of all speedway revenues when it was open and a similar revenue-sharing agreement in the

Proposal would bring car racing back to Campbell Valley

future could help fund regional parks.He envisions 10 to 14 race days a year, while concerts, car shows and other outdoor events could use the venue at other times.Jones said the existing 1,000 parking stalls at the track would be mainly for VIPs and the dis-abled, while most other race-goers would be expected to walk, bike or take a shuttle.Metro directors predict there will be strong opinions for and against reopening the track, particularly from motors-

port fans and horse owners, if the proposal makes it to public consultations.“You’ve got horsepower on both sides of this issue,” Langley Township Coun. Bob Long said.

Fat cat inspires weight-loss challenge » PET HEALTH


A hefty cat at the West Vancouver SPCA is too fat for his own good.

Nemo, a friendly six-year-old feline, needs to quickly drop half his body weight.

Weighing in at unhealthy 20 pounds, he was abandoned at the shelter last month. The “Finding Nemo’s Waistline” social media campaign launched soon after in an effort to highlight the risks of pet obesity while tracking Nemo’s weight loss.

“He was in a carrier too small for him to stand up or turn around in,” says Dragana Hajdukovic, manager for the West Van shelter. “Nemo was stone cold to the touch and covered in his own urine.”

After being cleaned up and treated for a broken tooth and fleas, the chunky cat was ready to start shedding the pounds. He has already lost a few on his new diet regimen and by playing with shelter staff and volunteers.

Nemo is up for adoption but only to someone who is com-mitted to helping him reach a healthy weight. SPCA staff hope he will live longer now that his chances of having diabe-tes, heart disease, arthritis and chronic pain are decreasing.

To take part in the weight-loss pledge, Hajdukovic recom-mends:

-Always following the feeding instructions on the cat food label

-Providing opportunities to exercise with toys and climbing posts

-Not buying unhealthy treats. Instead use some of the regu-lar-portioned kibble as “treats” throughout the day

Although obesity is often caused by owners overfeeding their pets, she adds, it’s best to check with a vet first to make sure the weight problem isn’t caused by another issue.

To follow Nemo’s journey and pledge to keep your pet healthy, search West Vancouver SPCA on Facebook.

Maps for the third annual North Shore Art Crawl are now available for pickup.

In total, around 250 artists are part of the tour, which extends across the North Shore from Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove on April 20 and 21. Many of these artists share a studio, creating 64 unique stops on the route.

A good way to start the crawl, recom-mends artist and coordinator Norman Vipond, is to begin in your neighbour-hood or choose an artist of particular interest.

Visiting every studio can be done over the weekend, Vipond adds, but most people prefer a somewhat slower pace.

“We have a very broad range of artists this year,” says coordinator Sandrine Pelissier, an artist at 195 Studios in North Vancouver. Pottery, jewelry, ceramics, woodwork and even “wearable art” are all on this list.

Visit nsartcrawl.ca for a list of locations, including Delany’s Coffee Houses on the North Shore

Election buses roll for May 14 vote » NewS

toM FLeTCHeR B L A C k p R E S S

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark formal-ly began the B.C. election campaign Tuesday with a visit to Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon to end the current government and begin a 28-day run to form a new one.

Clark began with the dramatic claim that the May 14 vote is “a choice that will do nothing less than define our province for another generation,” and quickly went on the attack against NDP leader Adrian Dix.

“I can’t remember a campaign where the choices are as stark as this one, where we have a chance to grow gov-ernment, grow taxes, kill the opportunity for liquefied natural gas exports, or we have the chance to shrink government, grow the econ-omy, lower taxes and pay off the debt for our kids,” Clark told reporters gathered outside Government House in Victoria.

The NDP has supported LNG exports, but wants to extend B.C.’s carbon tax to natural gas drilling emissions that would add up to $100 million more a year. Clark has suggested

taxes and royalties from LNG exports should go toward a “prosperity fund” that could pay off B.C.’s debt in 15 years.

B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins has emphasized that B.C.’s debt nearly dou-bled under the NDP government of the 1990s,

and has almost doubled again in the 12 years of B.C. Liberal rule.

Dix boarded his campaign bus Tuesday for a series of stops in Vancouver and Burnaby. Cummins and B.C. Green Party leader Jane Sterk are also trav-eling the province as they pre-pare for a leaders’ radio debate on April 26 and a TV debate April 29.

Dix was forced on the defensive after the B.C. Liberals publicized offensive comments made by the NDP’s Kelowna-Mission candi-date on a local internet site four years ago.

Dix issued a brief statement Tuesday announcing Dayleen van Ryswyk has resigned and the party will nominate a new candidate. Van Ryswyk’s remarks about aboriginal and French-Canadian people were “unacceptable,” Dix said.

No more Axels, no more Lutzes? Figure skating’s triumphant era at the NSWC is apparently over

» INSTANT REPLAY

If you felt the earth rumble around here over the last few months, I need to inform you that it was probably hall of fame figure skat-

ing coach Linda Brauckmann turning over in her grave.

You see, the North Shore Winter Club reduced its figure skating hours significantly last September and now has no figure skating program after 50-plus, mostly glorious years of providing B.C. and Canada… and yes, even the world… with skaters who mined gold, silver and bronze on many levels with regularity.

The NSWC first opened its doors in 1958, competing for members with the Capilano Winter Club which had opened earlier with the first artificial ice on the North Shore and had admirably hosted – with a great deal of much-deserved fanfare – the highly successful 1960 Canadian figure skating cham-pionships.

The NSWC had only curl-ing ice then but, in order to try to skate circles around their Capilano competition, they needed to feature a strong fig-ure skating program.

So the club came up with Austrian Edy Rada, their first head figure skating coach in 1960. As a competitor, he’d won bronze medals at both the 1948 St. Moritz Winter Olympics and the 1949 world champion-ships in Paris.

And so it was that figure skating first brought fame to the NSWC. Skating families signed up and soon the club’s name was on the list of medal winners at Canadian championships.

Jay Humphry was the first. Living in Vancouver when he began skating at 10, he remembers going to the NSWC for lessons about age 12. That would make it 1960. Shortly afterwards, the family picked up and moved to 1210 East 14th St., just a jump sequence and a flying camel spin down Mountain Highway to the NSWC.

Humphry became the first NSWC Canadian champion when he captured the 1963 junior men’s title at 14. He was third at the senior level in 1964, ’65 and ’66, second in ’67 and the champion in 1968 and ’69. He was enticed to move to train at the Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club for nine months a year when he was 15 but he continued to call the NSWC his home and represented it in competition until the Ontario club insisted he put its name

behind his which he did beginning in 1967.However there was no shortage of other skat-

ers who trained at and represented the NSWC in national championships although for this column the list has been shortened to those who placed in the top three in Canada in novice, junior or senior singles, or in pairs or ice danc-ing.

Other medal winners in the 1960s were Joey Summerfeld, David “Corby” Coffin, Judy McLeod, Mary McCaffrey, Madelaine Begg, Karel Latham, Karen Magnussen and the McKilligans, John, Betty and Patrick.

The Humphry family may have been the first to move to the North Shore to take advantage of the skating opportunities at the NSWC but they certainly weren’t the only ones. The McKilligans didn’t just move to North Van, they moved

into a house right across the street from the NSWC. John and Betty captured medals at the Canadians in senior pairs, a third in 1966 and firsts in 1968 and ’69, the latter after switching to Hollyburn to accommodate coaching. Patrick copped bronze and gold in novice sin-gles and gold in junior singles for the NSWC from 1966-68.

Karen Magnussen collected the most hon-ours for the NSWC at Canadian championships with gold in juniors in 1965, silver in seniors in 1967 and ’69 and firsts in1968 and 1970-73. She was Canada’s only medal winner in any sport, a silver, in the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics where she was the Canadian flag bearer in the opening ceremonies. She was also second in the 1972 worlds and was crowned with gold at the 1973 world championships.

Linda Brauckmann, who learned to skate in Vancouver, began her coaching career in the Eastern U.S., but came back to take a position at the NSWC in 1962 and was still coaching despite health issues almost until she died in January 2010. Linda and her most accom-plished protégé, Karen Magnussen, are both now in the BC Sports and Skate Canada halls of fame.

Canadian medallists from the NSWC in the 1970s were Marian Murray, Glen Moore, Carol Kreuzinger, Orin Cox, Kevin Cottam, Barb Terpenning, Patricia Woods, Gigi Boyd,

Magnussen, after returning from Boston where she taught skating, joined Brauckmann as a coach and was at the NSWC from 1987 to 2011.

In the 1980s Canadian medallists included Tracy Wilson, Neil Giroday, Rosemarie Sakic, Michelle Resch, Tammy and Dion Beleznay, Colin Epp, Michelle McDonald, Lynda and John Ivanich, Linda Florkevich, Shannon Allison, Tanya Bingert, Norm Proft, Neil Paterson, Jason Mongrain, Jennifer White, Bob and Katherine Kates, Jodi Barnes and Rob Williams.

Dominating would be a word to describe the impact NSWC skaters had on Canadian figure skating. Of all the medallists, going back to the 1960s, close to half of them took home a medal more than once.

By the 1990s the torch had been passed to Michael Steinbach, Lisa Daly, Tammy Wagner and Keyla Ohs.

Not all these noteworthy NSWC skaters were coached by the irrepressible Brauckmann of course. There were other coaches too. But Ohs was one of hers. Keyla was not only first in the Canadian junior singles in 1993 and second in seniors in 1998, but she actually beat out the McKilligans’ record for moving to North Van closest to the NSWC. She and her mom moved into the apartment block immediately next door to the club.

Canadian medal winners in the 2000s fea-tured the likes of Eriq Lyons, Kathryn Kang and Rika Inoda. North Van’s Firus brothers, Liam and Shane, got their start at the NSWC. Liam was Canadian junior singles champion in 2010 and fourth in senior in 2013.

North Van-born Kevin Reynolds (second in Canadian seniors in 2012 and 2013 and fifth in the worlds last month) wanted to be a hockey player and Magnussen helped him with his skating for that and with figure skating at about the time he was making a decision on which to pursue.

Canadian 2013 medallists (Jeremy Ten, Eric Liu, Adonis Wong, Kelsey Wong, Belvina Mao) and other national entrants are listed as rep-resenting the NSWC but they train with the Burnaby-based BC Centre of Excellence which is not a member of Skate Canada. For compe-tition, skaters must be affiliated with a Skate Canada-member club so BCCOE coach Joanne McLeod chose the NSWC at a cost of something less than $100 per skater. Whether even that will happen in the future is questionable.

Last week NSWC General Manager David Long said that he wouldn’t say that figure skat-ing has been dropped totally and is excited about the recent addition of Victor Kraatz (2003 world ice dance champion) to the club’s coach-ing staff.

In an engaging chat on the weekend, Kraatz expressed his enjoyment with the group and private lessons he’s been doing at the NSWC although they are all geared to improvement in skating for hockey players. He is not doing any figure skating.

The club’s lengthy strategic plan released in February 2012, following research and sugges-tions by the McMahon Group, a St. Louis-based private club consulting firm, barely mentions figure skating.

Last fall, figure skating pictures were removed from display at the club, including the impressive one of Karen Magnussen – painted in 1973 by noted North Van artist Robert Banks – which hung prominently on the wall of the upper stairway landing for years.

For now, the figure skating era at the NSWC is apparently over.

This is episode 478 from Len Corben’s trea-sure chest of stories – the great events and the quirky – that bring to life the North Shore’s rich sports history.
