Every West Vancouver council member except the mayor voted to immediately voice opposition

to Kinder Morgan’s plan to increase oil tanker traffic in the Port of Vancouver by twinning its Trans Mountain pipeline from Edmonton to Burnaby.

Unlike the district’s councillors, Mayor Michael Smith called for more information about the proposed pipeline before making his decision.

“I’m not speaking in favour of oil spills, I’m not even speaking in favour of this Kinder Morgan project because I don’t know enough about it. It’s beyond my area of expertise,” Smith said at a council meeting on July 23, stressing that council has time to learn more about the project before late next year, when Kinder Morgan says it will fill out an application with the National Energy Board about route and construction plans for the pipeline.

“A few years ago, I was selling for

months upon years. We didn’t have any local product at all. It all came from Japan and Russia - basically from Asia - because there was no local product available,” said Smith, who owns M.R.Smith Limited, a wholesale distributor for Imperial Oil and ExxonMobil in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.

“[We] should wake up and look at the world economic situation. The reality is that our country is better off than Europe, better off than the U.S., better off than Japan. But the reality is that our federal government, most of our provinces, are deep in debt. Somebody has to create economic wealth to make the wheels go round.”

But the rest of council would like the mayor to tell elected officials, including the prime minister and premier, as well as Kinder Morgan, the district strongly opposes the increase in oil tanker traffic the new pipeline would bring.

Kinder Morgan announced in April that it will seek approval to twin its Trans

Mountain pipeline, and increase its cur-rent 300,000-barrel-per-day capacity to as much as 850,000.

The number of tankers filling up in Burnaby could hit 360 in 2016, five times more than the record 69 crude tankers in 2010.

This would mean many more oil-filled ships would be passing through West Van waters.

“I think we all believed that this could never happen here,” said Coun. Trish Panz, while holding up a photo of a 1970s oil spill she explained damaged the Ambleside shoreline.

“The risk is there and I’m certainly strongly opposing this expansion.”

Coun. Craig Cameron said the West Van marine environment would suffer even if there isn’t an oil spill because of pollution created by tankers.

“West Vancouver as a community has specifically chosen not to have heavy or light industry in the community for life-style reasons. It seems to me to be highly

unfortunate having made that careful choice to now be subjected to the risk of catastrophic or ongoing environmental damage from oil spills and increasing ship-ping.”

Council voted to tell Kinder Morgan it must provide West Vancouver with the amount equal to the projected clean up cost of the worst-case oil spill, show how it plans to clean up a spill if one does occur and identify the damage more tank-ers will have on the local environment.

But Smith said council should proceed with caution when voicing its opposi-tion to the project because gasoline has become a staple for many people, especial-ly those who drive.

“It’s a good thing the West Van coun-cil of 1912 did not speak out against oil tanker traffic in the harbour or we’d still be lighting our lamps by whale oil and using canoes as transportation. The reality is freighters have been moving in and out of these waters for over 90 years.”

Michael Smith says he needs more info before deciding about a pipeline that could bring five times more tankers to West Van waters

Decade-old cell tower policy revampedJump in mobile phone use causes carriers to seek coverage increaseMICHAELA GARSTINS T A F F R E P O R T E R

West Vancouver’s policy on cellphone towers is being modernized for the 21st century. The current 14-year-old plan dates back to a time when most people didn’t own a mobile phone, and long before

iPhones and BlackBerries were seen by many as an absolute necessity. Wireless carriers, including Rogers and Wind Mobile, have sought approval

from council to construct additional towers and antennae to keep up with West Van residents’ growing demand for coverage.

“Cell sites, which once could be counted on to reliably serve a given area, are now suffering from reduced coverage due to increased demand, and gaps in service are growing,” wrote West Van community planner Geri Boyle in a report to council on July 23.

A draft of the updated policy, which includes details on cellphone tower aes-thetic and placement, is available for public review and comment until the end of September.

Around 10 wireless companies have come forward with plans to erect tow-ers and antennae in West Van, Boyle said, but because of time constraints most proposals will be looked at when the new policy is in place

The draft policy says wireless infrastructure should be built outside resi-dential neighbourhoods and avoid schools and daycares. Wireless carriers are expected to build on the same site to decrease the number of locations needed.

However, not all council members thought the draft policy was complete. “We have a proposal for Westport Road from Wind to erect on telephone

polls directly below some neighbours. I went to see them, they were a little disturbed,” said Coun. Bill Soprovich, who said he would like to see extensive public consultation before the draft is finalized.

Coun. Craig Cameron said the policy should include exact distances cell towers can be built from houses, schools and other buildings.

When seeking to put in new infrastructure, wireless companies have to adhere to local governments’ consultation processes, which date back to 1997 for West Vancouver. But Boyle cautioned that wireless carriers could apply to Industry Canada with an “impasse request” if council rejects an applica-tion, leading Industry Canada to act as an arbitrator between the two parties. This would diminish West Van council’s say in where the cell towers could be placed, she added.

“We’re not saying no across the board, but rather we’re saying no in cer-tain areas.”

SENIOR SERVICES AT A GLANCE:

DUE DILIGENCE - It’s important to keep a record of the medication we take and why we take it, even though health care providers and pharmacists are available for help.Outlook files

JOSIE PADROC O N T R I B U T O R

It might start with a pill to take the edge off some knee pain, then maybe thyroid hor-mone replacement medication to boost the

body’s waning supply, later another collection of pills to control an irregular heartbeat. Over the years we can end up having to take a surpris-ing array of medications – and it requires major effort to make sure we’re taking them correctly – some with food, some on an empty stomach. Sometimes we have to learn skills like taking blood sugar readings and giving ourselves injec-tions.

Statistics Canada reports that pain medication is the most common medicine taken by seniors, followed by other drugs that affect the nervous system such as anti-anxiety medication and sleeping pills, and over 40 per cent of seniors take some kind of medication for a heart condi-tion. Figures collected in 2005 by Health Canada found the average number of prescriptions filled that year by Canadians was 14. However those between the ages of 60 and 79 had an average of 35 prescriptions filled and those over 80 had an average of 74.

There’s no doubt that medications are life sav-ing; they also enable many of us to maintain a good quality of life. However, there’s growing concern among health professionals and seniors that taking multiple medications may not be as healthy as intended. That’s because while every medication has its intended benefits, it can also have unintended side effects or interact adversely with other drugs being taken.

Those adverse reactions could be anything from drowsiness to confusion, falls, or inconti-nence. Even seemingly benign over-the-counter medications can cause problems. For example

the common anti-inflammatory Aspirin can add to the effects of anticoagulants, also known as blood thinners, possibly leading to a lowered ability to form blood clots — not a good state to be in if you have a fall or a car accident.

Introduced in 2007 PharmaNet, a database administered by the BC Ministry of Health and the College of Pharmacists, keeps track of all medications prescribed to BC residents. It’s avail-able to pharmacists, hospitals, mental health facilities and some general practitioners. It also stores important information about allergies, medical conditions as well as MSP numbers.

PharmaNet helps prevent duplicate prescrip-tions and is especially useful when someone is admitted to hospital or relocates to a different B.C. community. As a central source of informa-tion, it allows pharmacists to assess all the medi-cations prescribed to one person and to flag any potential incompatibilities.

What you can doWhile it’s reasonable to expect health care

providers and pharmacists to make sure we’re not given any unnecessary medications, as health care consumers we are also responsible for our own health. Making sure we know what medica-tions we’re taking and why we’re taking them is the most important way to prevent complications that can result from taking too many medica-tions. The following suggestions may help: Keep a tab on the tablets. Maintain an up to date med-ication list is the first step – that includes supple-ments and herbal remedies. Place a copy of this list in your wallet so you can refer to it during visits to your doctor or in case of emergency.

Get to know the drugs you’re taking. Most medications come with a fact sheet; even when you’re refilling a prescription give this sheet a

New village centre planned for Capilano and MarineOne of the North Shore’s busiest areas could be in for a major makeover, including a new community centre and shops


Today the neighbourhood around Capilano Road and Marine Drive is lacking parks, meeting spots and a defined town square. But a major overhaul of the area will change that with the construction of new shops and a community centre.

The heavily trafficked area is being dubbed the Lower Capilano Marine Village Centre, and could soon have a more “neighbourly” feel like the Lower Lonsdale and the Lynn Valley town centres if development goes according to plan.

The heart of the village, containing a community centre and coffee shops, would be built around Fullerton Avenue and Capilano Road, a few blocks north of Marine Drive.

Because of the design, going for a stroll or meeting up with friends isn’t encouraged in the area right now, said District of North Vancouver planner John Lancaster, but that will change where more small shops open and pedestrian-friendly walkways are built.

“We want to make this place have a more fun, active environment so people will want to walk places instead of driving,” said Lancaster at a packed meeting about the future development July 19.

Barring any changes, the community centre will be built on a four-acre, empty plot near Capilano Road and Fullerton Avenue.

Property owners Larco Investments would build the centre for the District of North Vancouver, in exchange for a rezoning of the property. The owners would then be able to build apartments and condos, supporting the district’s aim to incorporate different housing types into the community.

The district is expecting a detailed rezoning application from Larco. Barring any delays, construction could begin by 2014.

“The fastest possible scenario would see construction start 2014, with an opening in 2016. But it could take until 2016, depending on how the rezoning process goes,” Lancaster said.

Larco is working to support the district’s Official Community Plan by planning for mixed-use construction, said Art Philips, the company’s director of development.

“Development would be condominiums and town homes, as well as limited retail space, along with the community centre,” he said.

Lower Capilano Marine Village Centre is one of four town centres in North Van. Lower Lynn Town Centre, around Mountain Highway from Main Street to Keith Road, and the Maplewood Village Centre, around Dollarton Highway between Riverside and Seymour River Place, are also in the works. Lynn Valley Town Centre has already been built, and is considered a template for other areas to follow. Once construction is com-plete, the goal is to link the centres together with efficient transit service.

Lancaster predicts most of the motels on Capilano Road will disappear within 10 years, making room for more neighbourhood-oriented buildings.

“[The motels] are not really viable anymore. All five are renting at about 56-per-cent occupancy, that’s below the break-even point. Unless this year picks up, we won’t see them around much longer.”

He says many tourists prefer to stay downtown instead, where the rates are around the same.

But a couple hotel owners want to stay open, he added, and the district is willing to work with them to create more viable businesses.

The Lower Capilano Marine Village Centre includes residents of the Woodcroft apart-ment towers, who don’t often shop in the neighbourhod, Lancaster said.

To fix this, the new village centre is planned so they could easily walk to buy groceries and meet friends.

THE RIGHT NOTE - North Vancouver’s Vlada Mars, head of the music department at Hollyburn Country Club.Image courtesy of Vlada Mars

Going places with Vlada MarsLocal piano teacher touches the lives of students and those in the larger

community with her unique blend of music and charity

RACHEL DAVIDSONB L A C K P R E S S

Many successful people are disciplined, some creative, others benevolent, but it’s not often that you find all of those

characteristics embodied in one person. Add in a passion for leveraging the power of music to charitable ends, and the field narrows consider-ably.

Enter Vladislava Mars, a supremely gifted pianist and altruist. Known simply as Vlada to her many students and friends across the North Shore and beyond, she is a fount of wisdom and an inspiration to those fortunate enough to meet her.

Classically trained in the former Yugoslavia, Vlada immigrated to Canada in 1994 and began working as a private piano teacher at West Van’s Hollyburn Country Club in early 1997. Although she started with only 13 students, her tireless efforts as head of the club’s music depart-ment resulted in a program which now boasts six instructors and 160 students learning piano, voice, violin, guitar and drums.

Vlada’s days rarely end with her last lesson, however – she also regularly plays and promotes her own recitals. Over the years, she has graced concert halls in Toronto, London, and Belgrade, and most recently performed at Vancouver Makes Music, which took place downtown on June 21. Her appearances always benefit a wor-thy local cause, and Vlada has supported the Canucks Hospice, North Shore Women’s Shelter, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the Ride to Conquer Cancer, to name just a few.

Vlada’s ongoing contributions to the music scene include compositions of her own design. Subtle yet moving, her undulating chords and harmonies act as a soothing – and occasionally dramatic – reminder to slow down and appreci-ate each moment. This minimalistic approach represents an emotional escape: “In the world we live in, it’s so hectic, so busy... My music is a

refuge out of that with simple melodies, simple rhythms. Something different from life itself.” Poignant pieces such as “L’absente”, dedicated to her late father, reflect this theme.

Listeners may wonder how these powerful feelings assume audible form. Quick to dispel the image of a tortured composer toiling away in iso-lation, Vlada contends that her songs spring free-ly from more natural roots. She draws ideas from her life experiences, books, art, films and dreams, which come together via a “melting process”.

“I think about [my inspirations] for weeks, and then I just sit at the piano and play,” she explained humbly, making it sound easy.

However, Vlada’s beautiful music doesn’t always arrive fully-formed, and she told me last Thursday that she had recently finished a par-ticularly intense composition that stressed her to the point of illness. “Sometimes that process puts you in a state of mind that’s very hard to con-trol... like a roller coaster,” she confessed. “But I think it was worth it in the end.”

The name of her latest? “Going Places”. In typical Vlada fashion, its meaning transcends expectation, for “it’s not literally just traveling, it’s about places you can go to fight your fears and insecurities.”

So where is this musical marvel going next? Vlada hopes to reach her goal of writing 15 original pieces before recording a studio album. And with the cooperation of her large circle of friends, she would like to perform a series of “house concerts” that would permit a more inti-mate recital experience.

One free life lesson that Vlada was kind enough to share with The Outlook: Aim for per-sonal satisfaction first, and the rest will follow.

“It’s cheesy, but follow your heart and be pas-sionate. Do it for yourself. Don’t expect recogni-tion or glory. Say, ‘I want to make myself and my best friend happy,’ and then my parents, and then 10 people… and it will spread.”

B.C. seeks more oil pipeline safeguards, benefitsProvince lays out preconditions for Enbridge, Kinder Morgan, environment minister warns guidelines aren’t ‘tacit approval’ of projects

JEFF NAGELB L A C K P R E S S

The B.C. government is demanding extensive pipe-line and coastal tanker safeguards as well as a big-ger share of cash benefits for the province and First

Nations as preconditions for considering any new oil pipeline.

The announcement applies not just to Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline proposal across northern B.C. to Kitimat but also to the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan’s existing Trans Mountain pipeline that diago-nals southwest through B.C. and runs through the Lower Mainland to a Burnaby terminal.

“This isn’t tacit approval of the project,” Environment Minister Terry Lake said Monday, referring to Northern Gateway, which is further in the review process.

“These are the minimum conditions we require in order to consider support.”

Both projects would greatly increase the ability of oil companies to export crude oil through B.C. and via tank-er to Asia, reducing reliance on the U.S. market.

The provincial government has found itself caught between a public deeply concerned about spill risks and enormous pressure from Alberta and the federal govern-ment to allow a new westward outlet for Canadian oil.

“We want a fair share of the benefits in order to be con-sidered partners in a project like this,” Lake said. “Given that British Columbia would shoulder 100 per cent of the marine risk and a significant portion of the land-based risk we don’t feel the current approach to sharing these benefits is appropriate.”

He did not spell out B.C.’s price on royalty sharing, but said that would rest on discussions between Premier Christy Clark and the prime minister and premiers of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

“It doesn’t matter what that number is if we don’t have adequate environmental protection.”

B.C. wants Ottawa to insist industry provide a bigger marine spill response – up from the current 70,000 bar-

rel capacity to something closer to the 300,000 barrel spill response mandated by Alaska. (Spills larger than the local response threshold trigger mutual aid agreements with neighbouring states.)

The government also notes Alaska requires cleanup crews reach a spill site within 72 hours, while Canada’s current 72-hour rule also allows travel time to reach a site, potentially adding days to a response.

The province also envisions a levy charged on each bar-rel of oil shipped that would – as is done in Washington State – help fund cleanup responses.

A land-based industry spill response co-op will also be proposed, similar to the Western Canada Marine Response Corp. that’s charged with offshore response.

Ship owner insurance and industry funding available for a spill response totals $1.3 billion in Canada, accord-ing to the province’s findings, while the equivalent U.S. fund is approaching $4 billion.

Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister Mary Polak said B.C.’s insistence on greater aboriginal partici-pation and compliance with their rights does not extend to a First Nations veto over new pipelines.

Lake said B.C. can’t simply make a yes-or-no decision on a project like Enbridge right now because the federal National Energy Board review is still unfolding and the project is evolving along the way.

He noted Enbridge last week committed to up to $500 million in further safety upgrades to Northern Gateway – including thicker pipe walls than previously proposed as well as more round-the-clock spill monitoring staff along the route. That move followed a damning U.S. report on the company’s 2010 spill in Michigan.

B.C.’s five preconditions are successful completion of the federal environmental review; a world-leading marine oil spill prevention, response and recovery system; world-leading land spill prevention and response measures; the addressing of aboriginal and treaty rights, including First Nation participation and benefits; and a “fair share” of

The fate of the last surviving North Shore-built Second World War Victory ship hung in the balance when plans to build a national mari-

time centre on the North Vancouver waterfront were scuttled by the province’s withdrawal of funding in early 2010.

Now, almost 68 years since the HMS Flamborough Head was launched from Burrard Dry Dock on Oct. 7, 1944, the former Royal Navy repair ship’s huge steel stern section sits pretty much where it started, awaiting its final act with little more cer-tainty today.

To see it, standing bolt upright on the overgrown city-owned Lot 5 waterfront site, is to wonder if it’s even still there on purpose.

“It’s one of those features which baffles some peo-ple,” City of North Vancouver director of community planning, Gary Penway, said in a phone interview Friday. “It intrigues everybody and I think when it gets done it’s going to be one of these iconic things that when you see it, people are going to go, ‘Wow.’”

But whether that “wow” factor comes in the form of a one-off, walk-in exhibit showcasing the very last Victory-class triple-expansion engine, or whether its deck becomes Lower Lonsdale’s very own elevator-accessed lookout platform — or something complete-ly different — is still anyone’s guess.

“In pretty much all our options it’s positioned against the end of a new building,” Penway told The Outlook. “Most options have seen it facing south,

which is the way it would have been built on site and then launched with the stern entering the water first. And then some options have it facing north toward Esplanade [Avenue]. Whatever the orientation is, the expectation is that it’s going to be this iconic feature and it’s part of that shipyard heritage precinct which tells the story of Wallace Shipyards, Burrard Dry Dock and the history of ship-building on the North Shore.”

But the Artificial Reef Society of B.C. — which acquired and sunk the rest of the Flamborough Head to make a dive-friendly reef off Nanaimo before selling the stern to the city — is concerned the City of North Vancouver has lost sight of its plans to preserve the marine relic since acquiring it in 2001.

“For all I know, they may just melt it down for scrap.” ARSBC president Howard Robins told The Outlook in a phone interview Friday. “It’s been sitting there for 10 years and there’s been no contact between us or the city about what to do with both the stern and the triple-expansion engine during that time. It’s a shame.”

But while Penway admitted “there is still a degree of uncertainty” around the stern’s eventual fate, it seems unlikely the city would simply scrap it now. Especially not after reportedly paying more than $70,000 to out-fit the stern in March 2010 with a propellor from the Flamborough Head’s North Van sister ship, the HMS Rame Head, which was then being dismantled for scrap in Belgium. That propellor now sits on the ground along-side the stern until such time as the site is redeveloped, Penway said.

North Vancouver continues to hold public input ses-sions on the eventual Lot 5 land use and will present the results of the latest workshops to city council in the fall.

“It’s one of those things that kind of doesn’t look like much right now,” Penway said of the stern and propel-lor. “But it will be one of the strongest iconic features in Greater Vancouver when it’s done.”

It was lights, camera, action on the North Shore recently as local celebs, actors, directors and more came out to the

Whistler Film Festival’s “On Location” gala. Held at the North Shore Studios in North Vancouver, the evening included a glamorous red carpet arrival, food, cocktails and live entertainment by Cover Me Canada finalist and Whistler singer Ali Milner. But take out your calendars because you won’t want to miss the actual film festival which takes place in Whistler from Nov 28 to Dec 2.

— LETTER OF THE WEEK—

Permission granted

Dear Editor,I read the article in last week’s

Outlook entitled “Shop Talk, On Lonsdale, owning a business can be an up-and-down affair.”

The article had great resonance for me as we have experienced almost the identical situation. We had leased a free-standing building to house our not-for-profit business in the 100 East 1st Street block in Lower Lonsdale in the middle of 2007 in what we thought was going to be a high growth, densely populated and foot trafficked area. After five years, we haven’t seen the kind of volume that we thought would be there with the

development of all the condos on East Esplanade which were finished in the first couple of years in our lease. It got to the point where we couldn’t really afford the rent as it was set up in our five-year lease, let alone that we knew the land-lord wanted to increase the rent for our next five-year option.

When we realized this January that the landlord wanted to sell the building we negotiated a purchase price which was significantly lower than what they had expected but still a big premium to the actual value of the property.

Regards,Joel Posluns

A buddy phoned the other night.Wanted to know if I’d be interest-ed in going fishing up north at the

end of the month.What was my reply?Same reply as every other married guy.“I’ll check with the wife.”Note that I didn’t say sure, or count

me in, or I was interested, or even that I was busy doing something else.

No, I said I’d have to run it past the domicile co-ordinator, aka wife.

It’s interesting to note that while she does communicate with me as to her social activities, it seems it’s usually on an informative basis rather than consul-tative.

I mused on this fascinating topic some years ago, and came to the following observations:

There comes a time in a man’s life when he meets a woman with whom he wishes to spend his life, or at least a con-siderable period of time.

After the necessary domestic arrange-ments are completed, such as formalizing the co-habitation timing and location, the man basically hands the good woman his social calendar, and becomes a passive referral service.

These are men who once were capable of deciding what they wanted to do, and when they wanted to do it.

But no longer.Ask most guys in long-term relation-

ships if they want to do a particular thing at a particular time, and you’ll get the auto-answer.

Now what makes this particularly intriguing, and/or profoundly disconcert-ing, depending upon your perspective, is that this is not a manifestation of mutual coordination.

I shall illustrate.On a particular occasion, I was

attempting to get my colleagues together to send off one of our own on a life adventure.

Asked if they had the evening free and

could attend, the men gave the standard response.

“I’ll check with my wife...”All the women, on the other hand,

considered the question for a moment and replied either in the affirmative or negative.

They didn’t need to check with anyone.Now, why is that?Is it because on any given day, men

can’t remember what they had for break-fast that morning, let alone what commit-ments they have in a week’s time?

That would explain why a lot of guys take a long time to start dating again after the break-up of a long relationship.

They keep waiting for her to tell them they’re going out, and when.

Or is it because after guys find a part-ner and settle down, organizing social engagements can be off-loaded. Have found the Significant Other. Critical basic needs now taken care of.

That doesn’t explain, however, events like football games and fishing trips, which involve having fun and drinking beer, both of which fall into the critical basic needs category.

Those activities have to be “checked with the wife,” as well.

Gentlemen, at what point in our development did our gender surrender? I mean, what would have happened if General Wolfe, instead of attacking Montcalm on the Plains of Abraham, had told his officers he had to check with his wife first?

She’d have told him as long as he cleaned out the garage first – and as a result, we’d all be speaking French.

Think of that the next time you refer all social engagement queries to the Activity Organization Department, which is manned by a woman.

Now, dear readers, I’m going fishing, among other things (all wife-approved).

Back in a few weeks.— Andrew Holota is the editor of the

The North Shore at its best Outlook staff talk with a few locals about what they love most

about the North Shore

Burstin' With BroadwayWhat would be your dream venue on the North Shore, and why?We are very fortunate to already perform in our “dream venue,”

the Kay Meek Centre. Galen Olstead at Kay Meek Centre has always been amazing to work with and we are fortunate to have such a lovely venue on the North Shore. We’d love if it were slightly larger and with a few more lights but we feel very lucky to have such a great venue right here in our backyard. The staff at the Meek are fantastic.

If a Broadway producer from New York came to recruit one of your members, which North Shore restaurant would you go to for lunch?

There are so many great restaurants on the North Shore, it is hard to choose, but I am partial to the Arm’s Reach Bistro in Deep Cove. When people come from out of town you really need to bring them somewhere that demonstrates the breathtaking beauty of our city, and particularly the North Shore. The Arm’s Reach has great food, great service and a great location. My alternate choice

is the Observatory on Grouse Mountain, on a nice day .

Who (or which group) on the North Shore enjoys your music the most?That is a tough question to answer. We sing Broadway music, so

our music is enjoyed by all ages. When we sing in seniors' homes we get a great reception because they really enjoy hearing all those songs they remember, but the younger crowd tells us they love our shows as well because they are fun and upbeat.

How has being a musical group based on the North Shore helped your career?

When I started Burstin’ with Broadway eight years ago, I was relatively unknown in Vancouver as a musician. I had just moved from L.A., and as a result have been asked to participate in many projects as musical director, coach, arranger and composer. It is amazing to me that the group had grown so quickly from eight to 50 in the first six months, and since then we have grown steadily to 125 singers with over 80 women on our waitlist. I am so glad to have started Burstin’ with Broadway on the North Shore, it is such a supportive community and I love to see the enthusiasm there is for singing and for our group on the North Shore.

If you could change one thing about the North Shore music scene what would it be?

I would love to see some more performance venues, in the sense that I’d love if there were more restaurant or dinner clubs where live music is performed. Jazz, dinner theatre, you name it. Something similar to The Cellar Jazz in Kitsilano. If we want music to thrive in our community, we need to create opportunities for professional musicians and students alike to perform on a regu-lar basis.

Jeffrey Donohoe wants to instill a lifelong love of sport in all his players

If David Beckham visited the North Shore, where would you take him first and why?

As a long time resident of the North Shore I would want show David the diversity and serenity that our part of Vancouver has to offer. So I would take him two places; firstly, I would take him to the top of Grouse Mountain so he could take in the view of Greater Vancouver from there. And secondly, I would take him by boat up Indian Arm as far as Wigwam Inn to enjoy the water and tranquility the North Shore is so famous for.

How is being a coach on the North Shore different than in other Lower Mainland areas?

As of two years ago, three of the North Shore clubs (Mount Seymour,

Lions Gate, and Lynn Valley) amal-gamated to become North Vancouver Football Club. NVFC is currently the largest boys’ soccer club in the Lower Mainland.

With this amalgamation come econo-mies of scale so we are more viable as a club, and able to provide innovative ways to provide new development for coaches and players.

In the last two years NVFC has taken a leadership role as a whole with regards to soccer in the Lower Mainland. Add to this the pairing of such names as Martin Nash, Carl Valentine and Tony Pensato to our player development program through North Shore Soccer Development, and I feel you have a winning combination for all involved.

What’s your most memorable experience of teaching young North Van players?

The experience up to and eventu-ally winning the U15 provincials in Courtenay in 2007. The cohesiveness of the players, families and the overall passion for the game was amazing and unforgettable.

Can you name a few soccer players who continued the sport after leaving NVFC?

None of the boys I have coached per-sonally have played soccer professionally or for their universities as far as I know. Having said that some of my players have played other sports at a national or varsity level but I take pride in the fact that almost all the boys I have coached and who have graduated from NVFC are currently playing in local mens’ soccer sides at various levels.

Please write your bio in less than 150 words:

Jeffrey Lawrence Donohoe is cur-rently coaching the NVFC U17 Gold 1 Team. Born and raised on the North Shore, he played soccer for Lynn Valley Soccer Association from grades 1 to 12 and, upon graduation, continued to play soccer for the North Shore Mens’ League. Jeffrey currently plays for the Coveside Vikings in the North Shore over-30s coaches league, bringing his total years playing soccer to 46.

Jeffrey's coached since he was 18 years old and has taken two teams — one male and one female — to the provincial championships. His main goal in regards to coaching soccer is to instill all his players with the passion to play a sport for their whole lives, regardless of age.

The Harvest Project

For those who may not know, what is the Harvest Project and what do you do there?

Harvest Project is a unique, home-grown North Shore charity whose impact is felt across North and West Vancouver. We aim to make the North Shore an even better place to live — by reaching out to our neighbours who are experiencing serious life challenges.

By offering “a hand up, not a hand out” to hundreds of people each month, we help individuals and families move back to fuller participation in the community.

Through client-care coaching, along with our food-recovery, grocery and clothing depots, we provide a safety net for those working to regain their footing in the local economy and in our neigh-bourhoods.

Currently, 40 per cent of our clients are single parents and their children. Another 40 per cent are new residents, and the additional 20 per cent are seniors and those with chronic health challenges.

As executive director, my role is to ensure we offer that ‘hand up’ in a com-passionate and effective way.

With 130 volunteers, an 8,000-square-foot facility, and only three full-time and two part-time staff, each day is full and challenging! Seeing the positive results of Harvest Project’s work in the lives of so many people is really fulfilling.

When not at work, I can most often be found...

I love the walk and beach at Ambleside.

Do you have a favourite North Shore fundraiser or event?

Personally, the Canada Day parade has great sig-nificance for me, being a relatively recent immi-grant [from South Africa] myself.

Most memorable moment in your work at Harvest?

It was during a client-care coaching session with a dad — when his four-year-old child reached out and took my hand. Dad said that that was the first time he’d seen that his son was comfortable since his mom had left them.

What in your opinion is the most common misconception about the North Shore?

That everyone is doing OK here. As a community, we are no different than other communities when it comes to life’s challenges. People get sick, lose loved ones, lose jobs, grow old and often have extreme difficulty recovering from those times. We see this side of the North Shore every day.

Bitten by the Olympic bugAnita Botnen’s big moment had a little bite to it

You could list many reasons why a highly skilled and dedicated athlete might miss out on achieving their ultimate goal of

competing in the Olympics – injuries and better opponents being selected to represent their coun-try perhaps being the most common reasons.

But how about a leg bite by an unseen insect on the very day of the parade of athletes during the Olympic opening ceremonies? That would likely rank around 999,999th on a list of one million reasons. Yet it did come oh-so-close to derailing the aspirations of 19-year-old West Vancouver gymnast Anita Botnen in 1984.

Anita started in gymnastics at the West Van Recreation Centre at the age of five with her elder sister Linda and younger sister Sandra and eventually caught the bug for the sport.

But it was the bug that got her during the opening ceremonies of the Los Angeles Olympics exactly 28 years ago on July 28, 1984, that almost sabotaged her biggest moment in gymnas-tics.

Anita had made the six-member Canadian women’s Olympic gymnastics team that year after a roller-coaster ride of ups and downs. She’d been a senior national team member since 1981 and prior to that was on the national junior team. She had competed in the world champi-onships in Moscow in 1981 and in Budapest in 1983, along with the World University Games in 1983 in Edmonton (which she considers one of her two best performances) and would later compete in the 1985 World University Games in Kobe, Japan.

Her 1984 season started on the upside as she placed first in the Canadian championships in May. Then it turned downward as a back injury from overtraining sidelined her for the Olympic

Trials. However, she was petitioned onto the Canadian team as an alternate – training with the team in Huntington Beach, California, as the Olympics approached – thanks to her past performances. Then she vaulted (if you’ll pardon the pun) onto the team proper when a teammate suffered an unfortunate shoulder injury (usual reason #1 or 2 for an athlete missing out on their life’s goal) just two weeks before the Olympics were to begin.

On July 19, 1984, nine days before the Olympics, she celebrated her 19th birthday with her teammates and Canadian actor Lorne Greene of Bonanza fame (who was the team attaché) singing Happy Birthday to her.

Could it get any better than this? Well it could get a lot worse.

“It’s hard to say where it happened,” she tells me on the phone the other day from Florida where she was vacationing recently, referring to that long-ago insect bite. “It’s still a bit of a mys-tery. My knee was hot and swollen and very big. It inflamed really quickly. I could not fully bend my knee. It sounds really unusual but nobody really understood what was happening.

“I limped into the stadium for the opening ceremonies. There was a lot of excitement in the air. It was a very exciting time. I ended up sitting in the infield and watched the opening ceremo-nies and the lighting of the flame – the whole bit – between the legs of those standing up. It was kind of tough. You can imagine hundreds of ath-letes all standing and I’m sitting on the ground with a big ice-pack on my knee and trying to see between their legs. It was fun and distressful at the same time. At the end, it was the swimmers,

I believe, who carried me off the field because it was even hard to walk.

“It was an insect bite on the very front of my knee that introduced an infection in my knee. It became bursitis. It felt like a huge trauma. It was hard to bend and with gymnastics you have to have a full range of motion. So I was very wor-ried because I couldn’t bend it all the way and I wasn’t [going to be] able to participate. What are the odds of that? It was a very unusual thing.Now, all of a sudden all these years of training were going to be up in the cloud all because of a silly insect bite.

“The coaches were questioning me as to whether I was going to be able to perform or not and I had major doubts. We didn’t even have a diagnosis. So there was this mystery. The path to the end is not always smooth I guess. There are always ups and downs in training and that’s to be expected. This was more unusual.”

The competition hadn’t even started and Anita was already in headlines back home. The Vancouver Province blared, “Botnen Badly Bitten.” The Vancouver Sun announced, “Insect bite slows gymnast Botnen.”

Fortunately the gymnastics competition didn’t begin for two days. “I was able to get through the compulsories and another two days passed before the optionals which is a very demanding set of routines. By that time it had cleared up. It all worked out in the end.”

Despite the ups and downs of 1984 being what she calls “a rocky road for a couple of months,” she remembers her performance at the Olympics as one of her best-ever.

Some 65 gymnasts competed in the compul-sory and optional rounds with the 36 highest-scoring advancing to the final. Anita entered the final in 18th place, third among Canadians, and wound up 17th, scoring 9.65 in vault, 9.75 in uneven bars, 9.45 in balance beam and 9.40 in floor exercise for a total of 38.25 to go with her 37.775 preliminary score and a total score of 76.025. Mary Lou Retton of the U.S. captured a couple of 10.00s to win the title.

Anita, who went to Ridgeview Elementary and graduated from West Van Secondary in 1983, began concentrating on gymnastics under WV Rec Centre coaches Keith “Curly” Russell and his wife Judy Russell, and later with Gladys Hartley and the Flicka Gym Club and eventually Mike Vossen and choreographer Debra Brown.

After the Olympics, Anita took a scholar-ship to the University of Florida where she got a degree in physiotherapy and met her hus-band John Fisher. They now live in Brookline, Massachusetts, with their three children aged 13, 10 and five.

She hadn’t thought about that insect bite in a long time. Until I called to bug her about it. Of course that’s the kind of bugging she didn’t mind so much.

This is episode 464 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.

DON’T BUG ME, EH? - Anita Botnen (above) at the 1984 Olympics. Crombie McNeill photo


NV athletes win gold, inspire at BC Summer GamesFrom wakeboarding to wrestling to softball, North Van participants helped make this year’s BC Summer Games one to remember

DAN KINVIG, EDWIN CHAND AND DAVID LYS P E C I A L T O T H E O U T L O O K

For Michela Phillips, gold medals seem to run in the family.

The 17-year-old from North Vancouver (Vancouver-Squamish – Zone 5) won the BC Summer Games junior women’s wakeboard title on Friday after-noon at Abbotsford’s Albert Dyck Park.

Kathy Kreiner-Phillips, Michela’s moth-er, was on hand as a celebrity medal pre-senter, and she draped the gold medal around her daughter’s neck. Kreiner-Phillips is a former alpine skier who won Olympic gold in the giant slalom in 1976 in Innsbruck, Austria.

“It’s pretty cool, because she was also a gold medalist,” Phillips said, reflecting on the unique podium moment with her mom.

“She’s pretty inspirational. All our life, she’s told us we can do whatever we set our minds to. When she was growing up, she was always told she couldn’t do what she wanted to do. But, she keeps pushing us, and it’s really helpful.”

Phillips edged Emma McNichol of Nanoose Bay (Vancouver Island-Central Coast – Zone 6) and Rachel Maj of Langley (Fraser Valley – Zone 3) in the junior women’s division.

In the junior men’s wakeboard competi-tion, Vancouver’s Levi Cole (Vancouver-Squamish – Zone 5) was the champ, while silver went to Cam Desloges of Shawnigan Lake (Vancouver Island-Central Coast – Zone 6) and bronze went to Jon Cole of Vancouver (Vancouver-Squamish – Zone 5).

The top three in the junior boys divi-sion were Mason Shadlock of Mill Bay (Vancouver Island-Central Coast – Zone 6), Jacob Haddon of Burnaby (Fraser River-Delta – Zone 4), and Tate Borg of Peachland (Thompson-Okanagan – Zone 2). Brooklyn Sutherland of North Vancouver (Vancouver-Squamish – Zone 5) was the girls wakeboard winner.

The barefoot water-skiers competed Friday morning in adverse conditions – steady rain, accompanied by wind, ren-dered the water less than placid.

“As far as barefooting goes, when it’s raining, the rain’s kind of coming at you at 40 miles an hour,” Abbotsford’s Adam Lehner (Fraser Valley Zone 3) noted with a chuckle. “It hurts your face and you can’t see very well, so it’s a little bit more challenging. And it was windy, too, so the water was pretty rough. You’ve just got to make the best of it.”

Lehner, the lone competitor in the junior men’s division, wasn’t overly happy with his trick run, but he set a personal best in the slalom.

Other barefoot medalists included Conner Brolin of Surrey (gold, boys 2 divi-sion), Kevin Lawrance of Mission (silver, boys 2) and Nicole Yonkman (gold, girls 2).

Oscar Bolaqui, the fighting pride of North Vancouver

Oscar Bulaqui of North Vancouver (Zone 5) had to make a decision at a young age: to stay with bas-

ketball or to move onto wrestling. The conflict came about because both sports take place during the same time of the year. And, while many people advised him to quit basketball, because they knew of his bright future of wrestling, it was of Bolaqui’s own will that he abided.

Oscar’s elementary and now high school coach advised him to join wrestling in Grade 8 after he passed it up in Grade 7.

Reluctantly, he joined, citing his only rea-son as, “My coach made me wrestle and he kept on pushing me.”

Sixteen-year-old Bulaqui has been train-ing for three years now. With a slow start to his wrestling career, he kept on striving to become better and went from fifth place in the Provincials in 2010 to second in 2011. Along with his Provincials placing, Bulaqui came second in the Nationals and fourth in the Westerns. Before matches, he likes to warm up and stretch. As for nerves, he says, “They end when I’m on the mat.” For anyone thinking about join-ing wrestling or any sport for that matter, Bulaqui’s advice is simple.

“Try out, sports are for everyone,” he said. “I didn’t know anything about wres-tling but now, after hard work, I’m doing very well.

“Wrestling’s given me discipline and a healthy lifestyle which allows me to have good friends.”

Although Bulaqui didn’t win gold in Surrey, he said, “I’m wrestling hard, I’ve made mistakes but I’ve learned and I’m doing good.

“My goals for next year are to take first place in the Provincials and the Nationals, while also earning a spot on the FILA National Team.”

Most importantly, Oscar says, he would like to give thanks to all those who have supported him.

“I’d like to say thanks to my family for always coming out to my tournaments to give me support.

“I’d like to especially thank my mom who’s been there since day one and has travelled with me to both of the Nationals.”

Old game, same feeling

After 45 years of coaching soft-ball, John Lucas still speaks with authentic excitement when his

team wins via a game-changing play.“We had to win this game and win it by

six runs [to get into the finals],” said an excited Lucas, his voice filled with pure joy after his girls defeated the Kootenays (Zone 1), 7-1.

The Vancouver-Squamish (Zone 5) girls he coaches have been training hard for five months in the gym and relentlessly practicing through mistakes made in this morning’s practices.

“I’m more than proud of them,” Lucas said with a grin from ear-to-ear.

Amongst his hard-working girls is 13-year-old Morgan Berkmann from North Vancouver.

Berkmann has been playing the sport since she was six years old and, as a result, she holds her team’s success very highly. However, this victory means much more to her.

Berkmann’s six-year-old sister has just started playing softball in a league for spe-cial needs children.

“[My sister] has cerebral palsy, selec-tive mutism, and she is epileptic,” said Berkmann. “She’s just sweet, though.”

A role model and now a proud back-catcher to Lucas’s team, Berkmann hopes to win big for her team and more impor-tantly, for her sister.

The squad went on to win the bronze medal in the tourney.

HEAD OF THE CLASS - St Alcuin College co-founder and head of school, Stella Ablett, inside the North Vancouver school building.Rob Newell photo

NV goes ‘new school’ with St AlcuinNorth Vancouver’s St Alcuin College aspires to be the most cutting-edge liberal arts school in the Lower Mainland


Finding its inspiration as far afield as Helsinki, New York and San Diego, the North Shore’s newest school prom-ises to be unlike anything else within earshot when the

first bell rings this fall.But don’t be fooled by its name or its location. St Alcuin

College, housed in the Christian Education Centre building, isn’t a new Catholic school. Named for the eighth-century father of English liberal arts education, St Alcuin aspires to be the most cutting-edge private liberal arts school in the region when it opens in September.

“If you’re looking to be queen of the prom,” says college co-founder Eddie de Beer, “then this probably isn’t a good fit.”

While the idea of a new school model for kids who ‘just aren’t being challenged’ in their day-to-day has become a common cliché, de Beer and fellow co-founder, Stella Ablett, maintain that St Alcuin truly isn’t for everyone.

“Do you have to write a test to come in? No,” de Beer tells The Outlook in the education centre lobby. “But we go and meet with the families before and determine whether or not it’s going to be a good fit.”

With five teachers and only 20 kindergarten to Grade 10 students enrolled so far — the school will eventually include grades 11 and 12, says Ablett — St Alcuin’s exclusivity is ensured for the short-term.

And that’s the way Ablett and de Beer like it.“We’re trying to install the pre-Industrial Revolution model

of learning with a master,” de Beer says. That means letting

students pursue whatever it is they’re best at, rather than pur-suing what “society needs from them.”

“We’ve got to get kids good at what they’re going to do,” explains de Beer, a former superintendent of schools in South Africa. “And they can’t all be super-kids. We have to find those things that kids can do well.”

In that spirit, the school is partnering with local profession-als in health care, creative writing, clothing design and distri-bution, alternative energy, occupational therapy and filmmak-ing, and is always on the lookout for new cooperative educa-tion opportunities.

“There’s something to be said for starting at the bottom,” de Beer adds.

Like San Diego’s High Tech High charter schools, Manhattan’s Blue School or most anything even vaguely school-like in Finland — “where you go to learn about educa-tion,” Ablett says — St Alcuin’s goal is to provide students a guided, personalized curriculum with real- or “adult-” world connections.

“It’s not a happy-go-lucky, find-your-own-way kind of environment,” de Beer says, dispelling any doubts that a self-directed curriculum is an unnecessarily easy one. “You will be challenged.”

Tuition at St Alcuin College is $10,000 a year — “nobody’s pocket change,” admits de Beer — but still half the costs com-manded by some similarly accredited, Dogwood Diploma granting private schools on the North Shore.

the fiscal and economic benefits of a proposed heavy oil project that reflects the elevated risk to B.C.

There are doubts as to whether B.C. could block a federally approved pipeline if it wants to.

Lake noted that even then Enbridge would require dozens of provincial regulatory approv-als, which he said would be carefully considered.

The $5.5-billion Enbridge project includes one pipeline carrying heavy oil west to Kitimat and a second one to import condensate used to thin the bitumen.

Kinder Morgan’s $4-billion Trans Mountain twinning would boost its capacity from 300,000 barrels per day now to 750,000. Most would go to export, bringing 300 oil tankers a year through Burrard Inlet.

The province calculates only eight per cent of the tax benefits would flow to B.C. while it would bear 58 per cent of the land-based risk and all the marine spill risk.

No change to Enbridge pipeline will sway NDP: Dix

NDP leader Adrian Dix, who has vowed to pursue a legal strategy to block the Enbridge project, said his party will con-

tinue to oppose it – no matter what deal might

be struck to steer benefits to B.C. or reduce risks.“We remain serene and determined to take

steps to oppose this pipeline, which we don’t see as being in British Columbia’s interests,” he said.

B.C. is just 10 months away from a provincial election that could elect the NDP, which opposes Northern Gateway under any circumstances but has yet to define a position on the Trans Mountain expansion.

Dix said Northern Gateway is a non-starter because it would require consenting to oil tanker traffic on the north coast.

Dix also accused the government of belatedly trying to catch up to public opposition after it ceded jurisdiction for the environmental review process to Ottawa and then failed to intervene earlier in the Northern Gateway review when it could have still tabled evidence.

“They gave up our jurisdiction, they missed the deadline for evidence,” Dix said.

“Now having been pressured by us but mostly by tens of thousands of people – business groups, environmental groups and First Nations – and they feel they have to take some step to show they’re defending British Columbians’ interest.”

Several environmental groups responded say-ing no amount of safeguards will offset the dam-age of a serious spill, especially one involving heavy oil sands crude.

The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs Grand Chief Stewart Phillip said most First Nations remain deeply opposed to the Enbridge pipeline, adding “it’s not about the money, it’s about the environ-ment.”

Dix said it was too soon for the NDP to take a stand on Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain twin-ning because the project has not yet been for-mally proposed.

BC Conservative leader John Cummins said his party would also try to negotiate a benefits sharing deal for oil that moves through B.C.

careful read. There may be new information you need to know.

Ask questions. Many of us are reluctant to take up our doctor’s time, but most health profession-als will take the time to explain because they know that when patients have the proper infor-mation they are more likely to follow their treat-ment and avoid complications. The following are examples of questions you may ask: What does the medication do? How, when and for how long do I take the medication? Are there any foods or other drugs I should avoid while I take this med-ication? What side effects should I watch out for and what should I do if they occur? How soon will the medication take effect?

Take medications as directed. To be effective, medications need to be taken at the right dose and frequency. If you feel you need to cut back or need a higher dose, contact the health profes-sional who prescribed the medication to let them know.

Seniors on a tight budget may try to stretch their dollar by taking only half the prescribed dose, or some may choose not to purchase the

medication at all. If cost is a barrier, there may be help available. Low-income B.C. residents could be eligible to have the entire cost of their medications, or the majority of it, paid by Fair PharmaCare. To find out if you qualify contact Health Insurance BC at 604-683-7151.

Use an organization tool. Drug stores and medical equipment stores sell pill organizers that can help group the medications that need to be taken throughout the day. You may also ask your pharmacist to package your pills in blister pack-ages. Some pharmacies charge a small fee for the service and it may take a while depending on the complexity of the medications you’re taking. Blister packages can accommodate anywhere from a week to a month’s supply of pills.

Get to know your pharmacist. These profes-sionals have completed years of scientific study and understand the complex drug actions and interactions. They also have access to extensive databases including PharmaNet. Part of their job is to teach people how to take their medications safely and to ensure no adverse effects occur.

Supporting Caregivers Across the Lifespan Project is funded by the Government of Canada’s Social Development Partnerships Program.

PERFECT - Chevron employees training at BCIT’s Marine Campus in North Van get ready to enter a helicopter crash simulator. Michaela Garstin photo

Helicopter crash training offered at North Van BCIT

Those heading to oil and gas sites in the Arctic are trained to survive an over-water helicopter accident


Helicopters typically flip over after crash-ing in water, leaving panicked passengers frantically struggling to escape.

A bleak picture, to be sure, but Chevron employees soon heading to work in the Arctic’s oil and gas industry learned how to survive such a scenario at BCIT’s Marine Campus in North Vancouver on July 18.

Wearing full orange buoyancy suits, partici-pants were strapped into a machine that simu-lates a helicopter floating in water and had to quickly escape from a small window after they were turned upside down.

The training exercises will increase the chances of survival for the men, who will be doing geo-seismic surveys in the Canadian Arctic.

“When you learn how to do something, say skiing, you have a memory of what to do, so it becomes your first reaction,” Jonathan Chapple, manager of Aqua-Lung Canada, told The Outlook as the Chevron employees put on their required gear.

They have to wear small scuba-like equip-ment made by Aqua-Lung — known as helicopter underwater emergency breathing apparatuses — attached to their clothing at all times. The light-

weight equipment provides them with just 30 seconds of air to make the quick escape.

“You can’t hold your breath if you crash because you’re panicked and have to focus on opening the door,” explains Chapple, who also teaches survival techniques to the military.

The training is required by many companies working in the Arctic, but the emergency breath-ing equipment isn’t required by law, he added.

A ship is leaving soon from Vancouver en route to the Arctic to bring people and supplies to the off-shore oil and gas platforms. The men will have to take a helicopter from the ship over large bodies of water to get to their work sites.

If their helicopter crashes, it will take approxi-mately five seconds to completely fill with water. But the men would have to anxiously wait for it to flip upside down before they attempt to escape.

“We don’t want them to panic and overreact, because it can be scary. It’s good for them to experience this before, so they can practise in case it ever does happen,” said John Stone, direc-tor of military and aviation training programs for Survival Systems Training, the company that puts on the courses.

Compost classes availableFree compost coaching

sessions are available for North Shore resi-

dents who want to keep bears, raccoons and skunks out of unmanaged, messy compost bins.

The half-hour, in-home course shows how compost-ing can be straight forward and problem free, without turning into a stinky mess because of improper care.

“Compost coaches will share tips about minimizing common composting problems, improv-ing finished compost and taking less garbage to the curb,” said Kathleen O’Malley, assistant manager of the North Shore Recycling Program.

Each year, around 9,000 tonnes of organic waste from

single-family homes in North and West Van is put in back-yard composts instead of being thrown in the garbage.

Without this composting, around 1,500 more truck trips to the North Shore Transfer Station would be needed, at a cost of $900,000 a year.

People who go through com-post coaching save 20 per cent more organic waste from the landfill.

“These numbers demonstrate how backyard composting can help reduce municipal collec-tion costs and they also show how important it is to support North Shore Residents in back-yard composting,” said Allen Lynch, manager of the recycling program.

North Shore residents can

NV working on bid for 2018 BC Games

With the 2012 BC Summer Games just wrapped up in Surrey, North Vancouver is already planning its bid to host the event in 2018.

On Monday, the councils of both the voted to put in a col-lective bid for the 2018 BC Summer Games.

As part of their bid plan, North Van city agreed to commit $15,000 cash and $16,700 in in-kind services, while the dis-trict agreed to put up $30,000 cash and $33,300 in-kind, if the games are awarded to North Vancouver.

The winning bids for the BC Summer and Winter Games in both 2016 and 2018 will be announced by B.C. sport minister Ida Chong this November.

In the meantime, the North Vancouver Recreation Commission has sought and earned the approval of the North Vancouver School District to use its sport facilities and has been given the go-ahead from the local chapter of the

Canadian Union of Public Employees to staff those facilities with volunteers — terms that are required for a successful bid.

However, at Monday night’s district council meeting, Coun. Roger Bassam raised concern that North Vancouver’s lack of proper pool and track facilities could hurt the hometown bid.

“Part of the application I understand is they would host the track-and-field component at Swangard Stadium [in Burnaby].And while it’s viable, it’s certainly a blemish on our record as a great sporting community that we do not have these sport-ing facilities available to us in a population of 200,000 people on the North Shore.”

The North Vancouver Recreation Commission estimates the economic benefit of hosting an expected 3,700 participants in 30 different sports at $2 million for the municipalities.

While North Van has never hosted a BC Summer Games, the city and district were home to the BC Winter Games in 1996.

CHILD MINDING - Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond is B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth.Submitted photo

Computer chaos threatens B.C.’s at-risk children: watchdog

New system thwarts searches, adds to data entry time according to independent children’s representative

JEFF NAGELB L A C K P R E S S

Children under the protection of the province may be unsafe because of the government’s disastrous rollout of a new computer database to track files, according to B.C.’s independent children’s representa-

tive.Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond issued the warning Thursday, saying the new

Integrated Case Management system has proved deeply flawed since its April launch for child protection staff.

“I cannot be confident that child safety can be assured,” she said. “Immediate steps are necessary to prevent harm and stabilize the front line staff who are overwhelmed by this ill-planned process.”

The $182-million system was supposed to reduce the time child protec-tion workers spend on data entry, give them better access to information across multiple ministries and free them up to work more with children and families.

But Turpel-Lafond said her office has been bombarded by staff com-plaints it’s had the opposite effect.

The new system is hard to search because it’s overly case sensitive, health and safety alerts are hard to find and duplicate files on the same child are easy to create, according to her findings.

The overall complexity of the system means information on an incident that used to take less than half an hour to record “can take most of a day.”

Caseload reports now print very slowly and a screen of information is too large to print to a single page, so it now comes out split across four printed pages.

In one recent case, Turpel-Lafond said the new system slowed efforts to dispatch police when a crisis call came in that only gave the mother’s first name, because it wasn’t first name-searchable.

“The family was at risk while social workers were frantically trying to identify the family and obtain the address.”

She also noted the rollout of the new system happened with no contin-gency plan if it didn’t work, including no capability to revert to the old sys-tem.

Children and Family Development Minister Mary McNeil said the mag-nitude of problems are “unexpected and deeply concerning.”

An action plan is being developed and an extra $12 million has been deployed to assist staff, she said.

“We are committed to making this work,” she said of the ICM system. “Moving backwards is not an option.”

Experienced child protection workers will be trained to help assist other staff with the shift, McNeil said.

The ministry will also hire up to 100 auxiliary child protection workers and 50 auxiliaries to assist child protection workers with administrative duties.
