Help for hot flashes and other symptoms of hormone imbalanceQ: I suffer from hot flashes, night sweats, and have noticed difficulty losing weight along with thinning hair since my periods have stopped. I find situations that were once easy for me to manage are overwhelming. Are my hormones to blame for me not feeling my best?A: Hormonal changes can reek havoc with our body temperature, metabolism, and mood. When estrogen, progesterone, and even testosterone are not in balance, hormonal symptoms will worsen. The most common hormone picture I see in women is too much estrogen relative to progesterone. This will cause poor sleep, weight gain, hot flashes and decreased energy. Another common scenario is decreased adrenal gland function. If we are under continuous stress, our body is not able to produce enough stress hormones along with estrogen and progesterone. This can leave us feeling overwhelmed, unable to cope, and have decreased energy. Our immune system also will have a more difficult time fighting off colds and flus. Men can also experience changes in weight, mood and energy if testosterone and estrogen are out of balance. Continuous stress will cause more production of stress hormone and less sex hormones, causing decreased muscle mass, thinning hair, depression and decreased sexual interest.

How can you feel your best this New Year? Consider a salivary hormone panel. Testing estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA as well as cortisol, our stress hormone, this test determines not only the levels of each hormone but how the levels compare to one another. Once hormones levels are assessed, a treatment plan can be designed to help you feel and look your best.

NOW OFFERING FACIALS AND WAXING SERVICES


Mink or silk? Long or longer?These are just some of the options available at Ambleside’s

LashFabulous, which is up for West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce’s new business award.

Along with The British Butcher Shoppe and Hugo’s Restaurant, the faux-lash salon made it to the top three. The winner will be announced on April 23.

“Once I tried it I was hooked. I wanted to start a business I truly believed in,” says co-owner Mara Uhrle, who wore Misencil eyelash extensions for two years before opening shop.

The synthetic extensions, applied to each individual eyelash, are light and natural looking. No more applying mascara.

“The women who come here are mostly 25 to 55. It suits all life-styles: working, athletic, moms,” says co-owner Lisa Tomanik, sitting at the back of her busy salon that opened a year and a half ago.

Located in Ambleside, an area where many businesses seem to struggle, the two women say their salon is here to stay.

The District of West Vancouver’s Ambleside Activation Plan, with an aim to revitalize the area, calls for an assortment of unique new businesses and, with only one other similar shop on the North Shore, LashFabulous fits this description.

Tomanik says the return rate of customers is a vital aspect of their success. Around 80 per cent of customers come in again for to refill their lashes, which needs to be done every three to four weeks. Others want a one-time application for special events like weddings and grad-uations.

“It grew very fast within a year. We had two employees to start and now we have six,” says Tomanik, proud of her small salon.

Along with some print advertising, they rely on social media and referrals to spread the word about their lashes.

“The reaction I get a lot is ‘Why didn’t I do this before?’ Some women give up getting their nails done so they can do this — it’s important to them,” says Uhrle, wearing a set of “Mink” lashes, while Tomanik opts for the more subtle “Silk” lashes.

Outside two customers lay back listening to calm music while tech-nicians carefully apply a full set of eyelashes. The initial visit takes one to two hours and costs $150 to $250 depending on how many eye-lashes. Fills take 30 minutes and cost $50.

For the daring type, sparkle and Swarovski crystal lashes are avail-able. Otherwise, the lashes look natural — but fuller with added length.

Uhrle and Tomanik, both West Van residents, chose Ambleside because of its central location to their homes and children’s schools.

“This is a luxury product and West Van is a good location because more people have expendable income,” says Tomanik.

What’s next for the LashFabulous ladies? They are expanding to Yaletown and South Surrey and are currently

looking for ideal spots in both locations. And franchises may be in the future. LashFabulous’ relaxed spa

look, says Uhrle, was designed to be easily recreated.

CNV roundup: Stern scrapped, restructure study explored

» NEWS

After some sober second thought, on Monday city council again voted to scrap the stern of the Flamborough Head.

It was thought the stern’s fate was sealed last week, when council signed off on the demolition, and at the same time asked staff to look at sal-vaging a portion of it for a memorial.

But Coun. Pam Bookham, who has championed the preservation efforts for many months, made one last effort to save the North Vancouver-built Victory ship relic by way of a motion to rescind last week’s decision.

Bookham used her allotted minutes to take council on a trip down memory lane. She played the DVD the city created for the now-defunct national mari-time centre plan.

“… So that you will understand the rich maritime heritage that we have and that we need to preserve,” said Bookham.

Afterwards, Coun. Don Bell, who said he was disappointed when the national maritime project did not proceed, was supportive of Bookham’s motion. “I think we just need to have a little more time to try and figure out if there is some way to maintain the Flamborough Head of the Cape Breton in some way,” said Bell.

Coun. Guy Heywood admitted he has been flip-flopping on the issue, add-ing he was recently reminded of what a great artifact the stern is.

“… And it deserves time to be processed appropriately by all the groups that are interested in what it represents. And I’m certainly willing to give it time,” said Heywood.

City manager Ken Tollstam pointed out, if council passed the motion to delay the demolition, there would be potential legal challenges because the work order has been issued.

Coun. Rod Clark was unwavering in his position on the stern. “I haven’t changed my mind. The taxpayer has paid mightily for this [stern]

so far, and now I don’t see an end in sight,” said Clark.But the stern’s demolition has been upheld, as Bookham’s motion was

defeated 4-3, with Mayor Darrell Mussatto and Couns. Clark, Linda Buchanan and Craig Keating opposed.

City to explore value of $120,000 restructure study

North Van city council has not closed the door on the unification debate with the district.

On Monday Coun. Guy Heywood tabled a motion, which was already unan-imously approved in the district, that asks the city to approve a provinically-overseen restructure study. “We all know that this [restructuring] issue in various forms has been around an awfully long time — perhaps from the time the city and district were initially divided,” said Heywood.

Heywood said 1963 was the last time a study of this kind was done. And while that exercise was conducted by volunteers, the subject of examining each municipality’s finances, figures Heywood, requires expert knowledge.

“They need the help of paid professionals who can spend some time and look at the very sophisticated and complex organizations that we have been building here at 14th and Lonsdale — and another one at Queens and Mahon,” said Heywood.

He noted an ongoing city and district shared services review has not pro-duced much tangible result.

Coun. Craig Keating disagreed, rattling off a laundry list of areas where there are shared efficiencies, including the arts and emergency services. Mayor Darrell Mussatto said the city has built up a significant financial base, and only the district would stand to benefit from “amalgamation.”

Heywood said the province would put up $40,000, which would pay for some basic research.

Coun. Rod Clark was concerned it might be a waste of money. He suggest-ed the city, district and province each chip in $40,000 to elicit “real hard facts” from the study. His motion, directing city and district staff to find out what

$120,000 can buy in this case, passed 4-3, with Mussatto and Couns. Keating and Linda Buchanan opposed.

WHAT’S NEWPink Shirt DayStaff and students at Chartwell Elementary School joined all 17 schools in the district in celebrating Pink Shirt Day with a special assembly. The school also explored the history behind the campaign and offered students practical anti-bullying advice.

Late French Immersion All students entering Grade 6 next year are invited to enrol in the highly regarded single-track Late French Immersion program at École Pauline Johnson. Applications must be submitted electronically, using West Vancouver School District’s online registration form found on our website www.sd45.bc.ca.

Aiming High Staff and students in West Vancouver School District continue to set the bar high when it comes to pursuing academic, artistic and athletic excellence.

Next year’s launch of the Basketball BC High School Performance Training Centre at West Vancouver Secondary School is a prime example of this ongoing commitment to distinguish the district as the premier place for learning.

Students from districts around the Lower Mainland with a passion for basketball will now be able to acquire specialized training at this new high-level centre, while continuing to play for their home school team.

“Our district is thrilled to strengthen our relationship with Basketball BC and create pathways for student-athletes who are passionate about playing basketball at the highest levels,” says WVSD Basketball Academy Program Director Garth Thomson.

Thomson says the current academy will continue to run for those interested in developing their basketball skills, but the new partnership will offer higher level training for the most skilled athletes.

“We have been tremendously excited and encouraged with our first academy hosted by the West Vancouver School District,” says Basketball BC Executive Director Lawrie Johns. “This expansion will allow for a continued developmental phase as well as a high performance phase, which is a natural evolution of the academy program.”

Coaching for the boys’ program will be led by former National Team Member and current Ridgeview elementary teacher Greg Meldrum. The girls’ program will be led by 2013 Basketball BC U17 Female Canada Games Silver Medalist and UBC Women’s Assistant Coach, Shaun McGuinness.

“Greg and Shaun bring not only incredible coaching resumes, but are also exceptional teachers of the game. Both have a deep understanding of the skills, concepts and attitudes needed for athletes to compete at the next level,” says Thomson.

Interested families are invited to pre-register for an information evening being held on March 11 at 7 pm at West Vancouver Secondary School and to visit our website www.sd45.bc.ca for more details.

We applaud the hard work of the staff and students involved in bringing this exciting, new athletic learning opportunity to the district.

West Vancouver School District and Basketball BC are proud to announce an enhanced training opportunity in 2014-15 for top high school basketball players from districts throughout the region.

Go Canada - North Vancouver snowboarder Chris Robanske shows his colours in Sochi. Submitted photo

Fun and Games After competing in Sochi, North Van snowboarder Chris Robanske returns home to recharge before rejoining the World Cup circuit

» CoFFEE WITH

Since returning from the Sochi Games, snowboarder Chris Robanske has been enjoying

some North Shore-style R&R. Just check out his Instagram account: mountain biking on the local trails with his pro rider girlfriend Micayla Gatto; kicking back on Adirondack chairs in Deep Cove soaking in the scenery; working up a sweat at Level 10 Fitness; and enjoying lunch with friends at Sushi Bella.

“I’ve had a really good time being home,” says the 24-year-old Albertan who moved to North Van two years ago to train for snow-boarding.

Of course, even though he’s back on home turf, memories of the 2014 Winter Games are still as fresh as the snow he was shredding earlier today on Mount Baker with another national team rider.

Reflecting on suiting up for Team Canada at the Games, Robanske sums up the Sochi experience this way: “unnn-real.”

“It was awesome. I know we all had a blast. Obviously the race didn’t go as well as I would have liked but we made sure to really have some fun and enjoy all the other sports and other venues as well.”

In the quarterfinals of the snowboard cross event, Robanske, consid-ered a medal favourite, led the race at times before a crash ended his Olympic dream.

“I was pretty upset at the time. But then I realized I need to leave it behind at the hill. You can sit there and dwell on it but it doesn’t do you any good.”

Instead, he donned his Maple Leaf gear and attended the women’s bobsled finals and then sat rinkside for the Canada-U.S. men’s hockey quarterfinal tilt. “It was amazing. They definitely don’t go as crazy as us at hockey games. But the cool thing was all the Russians are cheer-ing for Canada,” he says.

And while some journalists tweeted derisively about their Sochi accommodations, Robanske says he felt right at home at the Games, especially at the Team Canada housing complex at the Mountain Olympic Village.

“They did such a phenomenal job making it feel like home,” says Robanske.

That included everything from familiar tooth-paste and Canadian snacks and coffee to bean-bag chairs for comfortably lounging. “I would say it [took] less acclimatization than any of the other events I’ve been to,” says Robanske who regularly competes across Europe and North America on the World Cup snowboard circuit.

Of course, last year during a test race at Sochi, Robanske got a more authentic taste of Russia.

“I’d say last year when I went to the test event it was more of a shock. Seeing it a year before, staying at your everyday hotel, that was kind of like ‘Oh, this is definitely Russia.’”

Robanske, who returned home with some Sochi souvenirs and authentic Russian nesting dolls, gives the host country high praise for the job it did putting on the Games.

“Russia itself is a much different place than Canada but we knew they were going to put on a great show. Obviously, what seems to be an unlimited amount of money went into it. It was an incredible show. They did a phenomenal job….”

And while star athlete sightings are com-mon at the Games, one particular encounter left Robanske in awe. On the morning of the snow-cross event Robanske was warming up when Switzerland’s Didier Cuche — “one of the best all-time skiers in the world,” he explains excit-edly — skied into the tent to say hello to one of the wax technicians who was a countryman. “He skis right up and gives me a big high five and tells me to go for it and stuff. That was pretty cool. You expect to see other athletes but I did not expect to have that happen,” he recalls.

One of the other indelible Sochi moments was “just being part of the Canadian team as whole,” he says. “I got to meet a lot of the athletes — and I had met [a lot of] them before — but going into the closing ceremonies as a full team, and the people, the fans are cheering for Canada, it’s pretty cool. Really, really, cool.”

There were police cars everywhere, sirens, flashing lights, and even live gunfire. The Vancouver Police Foundation’s Night Patrol Gala was held

last week at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Riot police and helicopters escorted guests to their tables just before emergency responders arrived with dogs and machine guns to put on a very realistic hostage takedown. It was an exciting beginning to a night that also honoured the VPD’s Vancouver Police Pipe Band on their 100th anniversary. After the dinner and live auction, West Vancouver’s famous singer/songwriter Sarah McLachlan entertained alongside members of the pipe band. A magical evening that won’t soon be forgotten.

dren’s books and toys made in the early half of the 20th century.“They may say ‘yes, I played with these toys, I remember that.’”Thinking of food, or lack of it, made Cowan recall her years as a

decoder for England, an intensely stressful but exciting time. It’s been roughly seven decades since the Second World War, but she remembers every detail with ease.

While the Americans stationed nearby enjoyed eggs and bacon for breakfast, the English workers made do with paraf� n oil instead of fat to make cake.

Despite the tough times Cowan remembers the experience with a sense of humour.

She was a university student at the beginning of the war but took a position with the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry because she wanted to serve England. Instead of becoming a nurse, however, she was given the job as an inter signaler to decode messages for England.

And even though she worked relentlessly late hours, her parents never had a clue about her secret life.

“My parents thought I was a waitress and they were fed up with me. They never knew what I did — it was amazing,” she writes in the book.

*****

For Laura Olga Holm, a senior living on the North Shore, creating the cookbook brought back memories of her childhood.

But unlike contributers growing up during the Great Depression and other tough times, she has fond memories of delicious meals, particu-larly seafood caught near her hometown of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

“We would walk along the water when we got off the ferry, and they had all this lobster in the window that was already shucked...” her story in the cookbook reads.

Her family often bought a pound of fresh cooked lobster to have for dinner.

“And we might just eat it like hors d’oeuvres. It was just so good.”Recollections of Maritime seafood stretched into adulthood when

Holm and her husband bought a heaping 200 pounds of lobster for a big “hoedown” at a local cottage.

“A lot of friends came and we had lobster, potato salad and fresh rolls, and either blueberry or apple pie...

“Two or three of us could play the guitar and a couple were wonder-ful � ddlers — that was great fun!”

Like other participants, many of Holm’s most cherished memories centred around food. In her family’s case, there were lucky to have plenty to go around.

After interviewing the participants, Bridger sent the recording to a transcription service. Besides shortening the length of some stories, the memories went in verbatim.

Underneath the personal stories, she added tried-and-true recipes, including beet leaf rolls, red pepper jelly and Ukrainian borscht.

“It’s honestly the best borscht I’ve ever had,” says Bridger from her of� ce while the contributors discuss creating Around the Kitchen Table: Reminiscences & Recipes.

When a group of 50 North Shore seniors gathered to create a cookbook, the result was much more than a list of recipes. Around the Kitchen Table: Reminiscences & Recipes, compiled by North

Shore Volunteers for Seniors, is a series of memories associated with food, many of which are startling to imagine today. Favourite recipes are added alongside each autobiographical snippet.

Most of the seniors, now in their 80s and 90s, remember the strong role food played as they grew up in the 1930s during the Great Depression.

“For many, the story isn’t the food they had eaten, it’s the food they hadn’t eaten,” says volunteer coordinator Alison Bridger, who gathered the stories and took photos for the book.

“Everything was rationed: meat, sugar, eggs.”During the Great Depression, a signi� cant per cent

of people lost their jobs and affording food was dif� cult. Long lines formed at soup kitchens run by churches and charities, but countless people were still forced to go without.

Many dishes in the cookbook come from this era, with improvements made once ingredients became more plentiful.

Discussing the recipes, which include chilled cher-ry soup, traditional Fishermen’s pie and tamale pie, a popular 1950s dish, brought back some memories that had been buried for years. It was an exercise that transformed a traditional cookbook into a valuable piece of history.

Deirdre Cowan remembers eating baked beans, potatoes, Spam fritters and more baked beans.

It was the height of the Second World War, and she was working long hours for England as a decoder in direct contact with the Maquis Underground in France.

“We were absolutely top secret,” she recalls. “The messages came to us in French,

and though I could barely speak French I could divide up the words.” Food was scarce, especially meat and eggs, so the decoders drank sweet tea to

keep them energized for standard 18-hour shifts. “We had powdered eggs. You put water in them and then you had scrambled eggs.“Sometimes if you were lucky, you had a friend who had hens, and they might

give you an egg or two, which was really exciting.”Cowan worked in an operation similar to Bletchley Park, a decoder headquarters

located in Buckinghamshire that is heralded for its vital importance to England’s national security and the Allied forces ultimate victory. It was here that German, Japanese and other Axis nations’ communication was interrupted.

Even though the food they were served was less than appealing, Cowan says it was nutritious.

“…Almost all you needed to be healthy were potatoes. And there was no sweets, no sugar, no fat.”

During the last years of the Great Depression, most people in England ate the same simple food. Creamed chipped beef on toast, macaroni and cheese and soups were popular frugal meals.

“The food they gave us was appalling. I mean, it was wartime and we had baked beans, endlessly baked beans,” she says, thinking back to her youth 70-odd years ago.

For Cowan and other participants, the stark memories of the Second World War are strongly associated with the modest meals they ate.

“It brings back so many memories. Based on the idea of food, they could write whatever they wanted,” says Bridger, who added photos to further entice readers’ memories.

dren’s books and toys made in the early half of the 20th century.“They may say ‘yes, I played with these toys, I remember that.’”Thinking of food, or lack of it, made Cowan recall her years as a

decoder for England, an intensely stressful but exciting time. It’s been roughly seven decades since the Second World War, but she remembers every detail with ease.

While the Americans stationed nearby enjoyed eggs and bacon for breakfast, the English workers made do with paraf� n oil instead of fat to make cake.

Despite the tough times Cowan remembers the experience with a sense of humour.

She was a university student at the beginning of the war but took a position with the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry because she wanted to serve England. Instead of becoming a nurse, however, she was given the job as an inter signaler to decode messages for England.

And even though she worked relentlessly late hours, her parents never had a clue about her secret life.

“My parents thought I was a waitress and they were fed up with me. They never knew what I did — it was amazing,” she writes in the book.

*****

For Laura Olga Holm, a senior living on the North Shore, creating the cookbook brought back memories of her childhood.

But unlike contributers growing up during the Great Depression and other tough times, she has fond memories of delicious meals, particu-larly seafood caught near her hometown of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

“We would walk along the water when we got off the ferry, and they had all this lobster in the window that was already shucked...” her story in the cookbook reads.

Her family often bought a pound of fresh cooked lobster to have for dinner.

“And we might just eat it like hors d’oeuvres. It was just so good.”Recollections of Maritime seafood stretched into adulthood when

Holm and her husband bought a heaping 200 pounds of lobster for a big “hoedown” at a local cottage.

“A lot of friends came and we had lobster, potato salad and fresh rolls, and either blueberry or apple pie...

“Two or three of us could play the guitar and a couple were wonder-ful � ddlers — that was great fun!”

Like other participants, many of Holm’s most cherished memories centred around food. In her family’s case, there were lucky to have plenty to go around.

After interviewing the participants, Bridger sent the recording to a transcription service. Besides shortening the length of some stories, the memories went in verbatim.

Underneath the personal stories, she added tried-and-true recipes, including beet leaf rolls, red pepper jelly and Ukrainian borscht.

“It’s honestly the best borscht I’ve ever had,” says Bridger from her of� ce while the contributors discuss creating Around the Kitchen Table: Reminiscences & Recipes.

They have just � nished tea and cookies and are eager to see the � nal version of cookbook.

Last week, it was in one of the small-est, nondescript meeting rooms at the Vancouver Convention Centre

where a few wine writers had gathered to have a chat with Michel Chapoutier, the current owner, winemaker and philosopher of Maison Chapoutier in France’s Rhône Valley.

Though a couple thou-sand trade and media were flocking through the International Tasting Room for the first hours of sampling the wares of 177 wineries as an epic view of the water and North Shore mountains shone throughout it all, we considered ourselves the lucky ones to be crammed in the small space, garish arti-ficial lighting and all. It was, simply, a rare opportunity to discover what makes a leg-end tick.

Having purchased the property from his grandfather when it was facing bankruptcy in 1990, Chapoutier had returned from spending time in California, finding himself inspired by biodynamic practices and their successful results with regard to vineyard farming.

The multi-use farms in place of monocul-ture, the lack of chemicals in favour of natu-ral elements and using the lunar schedule, which affects the earth’s gravity pull, as a guide to when vines, grapes and wines should be tended to, are all aspects that are now in common practice throughout his vineyards.

Deeply philosophical, he is a man who points out that while modern biodynamic farming was spawned by Rudolf Steiner in 1920s Austria; “You only have to look towards Taoist philosophies of the last few millennia to see the exact same thing.”

He’s a man unafraid to unleash a lit-tle cheeky bravado, sharing that, “Every winemaker will tell you that their region is the best in the world, but what makes the Rhône Valley so unique is that in the Rhône, it’s actually true.”

He points toward the many appella-tions like Hermitage, Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Saint-Joseph, and how it’s each of their unique soils and conditions that make the region as a whole, all the more exceptional.

Though most wines in the region are built from well-known varieties like Syrah, Grenache, Viognier and more, he sees the grapes as a mere vehicle to express their soils’ qualities and sense of place.

While it is the Rhône Valley that will always be synonymous with the name Chapoutier, he is unafraid to go way past its borders for worthy projects. His Schieferkopf property way up in Alsace

allows him to play around with Rieslings and the like, while he continues with Rhône varieties like Syrah and Grenache down in Australia for the opportunity to plant roots in the oldest soils on Earth.

It’s never easy to sum up biodynamic farming in a few words, but I was a fan of his analogy. “Say you’re get-ting headaches. With the philosophy of conventional farming, you’d take an aspirin. With an organic philosophy you’d try some willow tree bark, a natu-ral remedy. With biody-namics, you’d step back and see what’s causing the

headaches. Blood pressure? Improper sleep? You then change the big picture to create a better whole self.”

To get a good sense of the man and his wines, these three bottles are a good start.

Schieferkopf 2010 Fels Riesling | Alsace, France | $49.99 | BC Liquor Stores

Highly-concentrated lemon, mineral and chamomile; the epitome of sunshine in a glass.

Bila-Haut 2012 Rouge | Roussillon, France | $15.99 | BC Liquor Stores

This blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan is awash with savoury black fruit and charm. Ridiculously good value.

Chapoutier 2011 Meysonniers Crozes-Hermitage | Rhône, France | $29.99 | BC Liquor Store

A gorgeous wonder of Syrah, in its rich, peppery, mineral-driven element. Bold and handsome.

» TASTING NOTES

The Tao of Michel Chapoutier

This week’s wines each have their own distinct styles and qualities. While they’re an absolute delight to enjoy on their own, it’s when they meet food that they’ll enter another dimension to revel in.

Schieferkopf 2010 Fels Riesling, for me, begs for something creamy for the wine’s acidity to strike through, yet carrying enough flavour for the bright, fruity character to play around with. Umi’s Kitchen Seafood Curry Sauce, used with your seafood of choice, should be a worthy challenger to step up to the plate here; the smattering of spices will complement the wine’s minerality.

Bila-Haut 2012 Rouge is chock-full of savoury fruit, and served with a bit of a chill, will brighten up rich dishes that have some pretty bold flavours. We’re going to actually stick with our Indian

theme here, and enjoy it alongside President’s Choice Dal Lentil Stew. There’s a touch of

heat to the stew, but the wine’s lovely fruitiness will have no problem lapping that up.

Finally, Chapoutier 2011 Meysonniers Crozes-Hermitage is a meaty, peppery wonder. Grab a Triple-A Beef Tenderloin Roast or a Prime Grade Striploin Steak, and do it up right!

An Irish dance studio from North Vancouver is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a round of “front clicks,”

“sevens” and “bicycles” at roughly 80 shows booked around March 17.

Ranging in age from six to 24, the Eire Born Irish Dancers from Nora Pickett Irish Dance Academy have a busy week of perform-ing during CelticFest Vancouver and other St. Patty’s celebrations at Lower Mainland pubs, community centres and seniors homes. In total, the group consists of 50 dancers divided into seven troops.

“The majority of the youngest dancers are drawn to the lively music and the intri-cate foot movements,” says instructor Nora Pickett, who began Irish dancing at just seven years old. Her two daughters began learning the steps as toddlers.

“There is a lot of jumping and loud rhythm on the floor,” she explains.

“They can feel the music in their spirit, the power of their legs moving and making all the cool rhythms.”

The energetic sound comes from the danc-ers’ “heavy shoes” with fiberglass tips and leather tops.

CelticFest Vancouver’s 10th annual parade, which runs through downtown Vancouver on March 16 starting at 11 a.m., is one of the

Eire Born Irish Dancers biggest shows. Organizers expect 200,000 people to line the

streets to watch the (very green) pipe-and-drum bands, Celtic musicians, acrobats and vintage cars. The complete festival runs from March 8 to 16 at Celtic Village and Street Market, which fills Granville Street between Robson and Nelson, as well as Robson Square.

Irish dancing has spread quickly across North America in the last 10 years, says Pickett, who took part in many of the most acclaimed championships during her 18 years as a competitive dancer.

“My mom asked me when I was just about seven if I wanted to do Irish dancing, com-pete, win medals and trophies and be on stage. I still remember when she asked me and I thought it sounded really exciting,” she says.

This year’s St. Patrick’s Day lands on a Monday so many of the events the Eire Born Irish Dancers participate in take place over the weekend.

“Everyone should come out and enjoy the whole St. Patty’s Day experience. It’s really fun, a great social environment and a chance to see kids really loving Irish dance,” says Pickett.

“There’s nothing like a child performing to a cheering audience. It inspires them to dance even better.”

On the North Shore, the Eire Born Irish Dancers are performing for the public at Lonsdale Quay’s rotunda on March 16 at 1 p.m. and at Raven Pub in Deep Cove that eve-ning. For their complete show schedule go to www.eireborn.net.

2014 SEA-DOO

SPARK 900 2-UP

SPECIAL GUEST: WAYNE CARLTON OF MONTROSE, COLORADO

The Handsworth family of schools has started a group called Safe Routes Advocates which is lobbying the district and school board for traffic safety improvements

MARIA SPITALE-LEISKS T A F F R E P O R T E R

Erin MacNair cringes at the thought of her kids step-ping foot in the crosswalk at Colwood Drive and Queens Road.

Last year a parent volunteer was hit twice by a vehicle while helping students navigate the busy thoroughfare that leads in and out of Edgemont Village.

MacNair is part of a North Van district parents’ collective that has taken it upon themselves to temporarily mitigate traffic issues near their children’s schools while they wait for the municipality and school district to take action.

North Shore Safe Routes Advocates, whose members hail mainly from the Handsworth secondary family of schools, presented their concerns to district council in January.

“The main problem we have is with Colwood and Queens. There is a flashing light, but drivers just don’t heed it,” MacNair, a mother of two Highlands elementary students, told The Outlook last Friday. “It’s pretty scary actually, because people are not paying attention.”

Ridgewood Drive and Ayr Avenue is another trouble spot for the young pedestrians — as is Highland Boulevard and Belmont Avenue.

“People have a really hard time stopping, we don’t under-stand why,” said MacNair.

The Parent Advisory Council at Canyon Heights and Highlands elementary schools recently paid for sandwich-board-style, yellow signs emblazoned with a big heart and the words: “We love our kids, please slow down.”

Meanwhile, the Safe Routes Advocates group is asking the district to do their part to improve road safety near schools. They have requested staff review recommendations in a report they have provided, implement the district’s Bicycle Master Plan and start a safe route to school pilot project for Highlands elementary.

“We are encouraging [the district] to take a close look at the Queensbury [elementary] pilot project,” said MacNair.

A year ago North Van city conducted a traffic manage-ment study around Queensbury school as part of a pilot project for Active and Safe Routes to School — a national movement that encourages cities to promote the use of walking and biking to school.

Since 1997, the city has allocated $70,000 in its annual budget to help the North Vancouver School District fund five adult crossing guard positions. Last week city council approved a funding increase of $23,800, which will, in part, afford the school district a crossing guard for Queensbury.

“We would love it if the district could earmark some money for crossing guards,” said MacNair.

Currently, parent volunteers and students take on that role near some of the district schools. After the crosswalk accidents at Colwood and Queens, the volunteer crossing guard position at that intersection was pulled.

Historically, when funding has been available, the district has taken a piecemeal approach to tackling roadway safety near schools. In 2010 and 2011, the municipality and school district collaborated on two studies to identify strategies to improve routes to Seymour Heights, Lynn Valley, Upper Lynn, Braemar, Ross Road and Cleveland elementary schools.

And some improvements have already been made:

Cleveland school now has speed bumps and bike signage, there is a flashing light at Mahon Avenue and Queens Road, a new crosswalk at Capilano Road and Montroyal Boulevard and a four-way stop at Highland Boulevard and Ridgewood Drive.

In the Seymour area, there is a now a four-way stop at the intersection of Carnation Street and Emerson Way, while in Lynn Valley a 30 km/h school zone has been extended on Mountain Highway near Institute Road.

At the January council meeting, Coun. Roger Bassam expressed some criticism over the lack of collaboration between the school district and municipality around establishing safe routes to schools.

“It hasn’t been overly successful, and I think that falls to us and it falls to the school board to be doing a better job of working together,” said Bassam.

He was, however, inspired by the initiative Safe Routes Advocates has taken.

“So maybe you will provide the spark and impetus for us to get back to work with the school board on some of these issues,” said Bassam.

Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn told The Outlook it’s just a matter of setting priorities to fund the traffic safety proj-ects.

“Our traffic department has to work with [Safe Routes Advocates] to see what can be done to achieve long-term objectives,” said MacKay-Dunn.

In February, the North Van school board endorsed a memorandum of understanding that says they will work together to improve safe and active transportation to schools.

Later this month Safe Routes Advocates will make their presentation to the school board, asking for a simi-lar agreement for district schools.

In the meantime, the school district and municipality are exploring new school-related traffic safety projects.

“I can advise that yes, we are working on traffic safe-ty with both [the] DNV and CNV,” said school district spokeswoman Victoria Miles, in an email.

“Although schools within the Handsworth family of schools are being considered, specific schools have yet to be chosen for traffic safety projects.”

LISA WINKELAARC o n t R I b u t o R

With Alice Munro winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2013, there’s plenty to celebrate

when it comes to Canadian authors. Canadian literature is as varied as our country with something for everyone. Here are five recent, notable titles from Canadian authors – all available at the North Vancouver District Public Library. Pick one up and have a read.

Born Weird by Andrew KaufmanGrandmother Annie Weird gave each

of her grandchildren a special power when they were born. Now on her deathbed, Annie’s instructions are for her family to come together from all four corners of the country in order for her to release the blessings-turned-curses she placed on each of them. What follows is a fast paced, quirky story as the weird siblings rush to meet before Grandma’s looming final departure.

Cataract City by Craig DavidsonDuncan and Owen are two childhood

friends born and raised in Niagara Falls. Both dreamed of growing up and escap-ing their gritty, working class roots. Now as adults, Owen is a local police officer and Duncan is serving a prison sentence for manslaughter. While they now exist on opposite sides of the law, a shared ordeal in their past ties them together. Cataract City is a gritty, gruelling story of hope, friendship, survival and escape. It’s a story of place and how where you are from shapes who you become.

A Beautiful Truth by Colin McAdamAn inventive story that interweaves

two narratives: a lonely, childless couple in Vermont who adopt a chimpanzee and a research lab in Florida where chim-panzee behaviour is studied. Much of the story is told from the point of view of the chimpanzees, making for a unique perspective in this emotional novel that explores the line between humans and animals and the simple truths we share.

Emancipation Day by Wayne GradyJack Lewis is a dashing jazz musi-

cian when Vivian meets and falls in love with him in 1950s Toronto. Later, when they are married, the surprising truth of Jack’s heritage is revealed. He is a

light skinned black man who denied his roots and instead chose to live as a white man. Based on the author’s own family history, Emancipation Day explores race relations in Canada in the 1950s and tells a thought provoking story of identity and belong-ing, fathers and sons and ulti-mately, love.

The Silent Wife by A.S.A. HarrisonThis is a well-crafted, psychologi-

cal thriller with comparisons to Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl. In the Silent Wife, Jodi and her long-term partner, Todd, live in an affluent lifestyle in a beautiful condo in Chicago. Jodi is a psychothera-pist and Todd is a real estate developer with a penchant for philandering. Before the first page is out, we learn that Jodi will become a killer and thus begin the gripping journey to the inevitable result. Told in alternating voices between hus-band and wife, we get both perspectives of their unfolding domestic catastrophe.

Regular check-ups, early detection key to optimal eye health According to Ambleside optometrist Dr. Bart McRoberts, who has been in practice for 40 years on the North Shore, the key to optimal eye health is early detection of Sight Threatening Diseases.A couple of the more concerning eye conditions – glaucoma and macular degeneration – can be caught much earlier, thanks to new diagnostic tools such as High Definition Ocular Coherence Tomography – which is basically MRI for your eyes, and Auto Florescence – which allows you to look below the surface of the retina, than was ever possible before. The risk of developing glaucoma, dubbed “the thief in the night” because it has no symptoms in the early stages, is another reason early detection is important. “You can lose at least 50 per cent of vision from glaucoma before you would know it,” explains Dr. McRoberts, founder of Optomeyes clinic.Anyone over the age of 40 should be routinely tested for glaucoma, a gradual loss of mid-peripheral vision, where the fibres in the optic nerve slowly die. Eventually, all that is left to look through is a narrow tube. “Hereditarily, if you have a father with it — your risk goes up. A mother, even more. A sibling; the risk goes way up,” says Dr. McRoberts. The new OCT digital imaging instrument allows Dr. McRoberts to actually measure how thick the optic nerve fibre layers are — and detect the disease five or six years earlier than before possible. So far this high definition scan is only available at a few optometry clinics in B.C., including Dr. McRoberts’ offices.And, very recently, Dr. McRoberts has offered to do genetic testing on people with macular degeneration. The latest research shows that there are two distinct genetic types of this disease and each responds very differently to the recommended supplement treatment. By testing his patients, Dr. McRoberts learns who should take which type of supplements to control or even improve the condition. “It’s going to change everything with macular degeneration treatment, and definitely improve outcomes,” says Dr. McRoberts, of the genetic testing. In general, people aged 65 and older should see their optometrists annually for a dilated eye exam and retinal digital imaging.Those who fall into the 20-65 age category should have their eyes checked every two years. Exceptions to this are people who have particular ocular risk such as diabetics. Annual eye exams are important for youth under the age of 19 because their eyes are constantly changing and growing in those years.“Kids can have large vision changes from year to year,” says Dr. McRoberts, who adds the advent of technology and computers has created an increase in the number of nearsighted children. There are myopia progression treatments for these children as well. The key here is to prevent high prescriptions from occurring.One final piece of advice from Dr. McRoberts is ”our practice is big on ocular nutrition. Eat your leafy greens, Pharmaceutical grade omega-3s and orange peppers, and avoid fried foods.”

Nicole’s Health TipPine Nuts Pack a PunchPine nuts are a calorie-rich edible nut. They are loaded with phyto-chemicals, vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals. They contain healthy amounts of essential minerals like manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium. Consumption of pine nuts helps the body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful oxygen-free radicals.Their high caloric content chiefly comes from fats. Don’t let that scare you

away. Fatty Acids like oleic acid (18:1 undifferentiated fat) help to lower LDL or “bad cholesterol” and increases HDL or “good-cholesterol” in the blood.Pine nuts are an excellent source of vitamin E and the B-complex group of vitamins such as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine) and folates.Beyond all the nutritional info, Pine Nuts taste delicious!

North Van students name the largest gantry crane in Canada

It’s time to name Canada’s larg-est gantry crane that now sits at the foot of Pemberton Avenue.

Seaspan’s new 300-tonne crane arrived at Vancouver Shipyards by barge in late-February.

It was shipped from China on a deep sea ship in three large piec-es — the fixed leg, hinged leg and main girder — along with thousands of smaller components to Fraser Surrey Docks before being offloaded and transported to Seaspan at North Vancouver’s waterfront.

At 80 metres high and spanning 76 metres wide, it’s the largest in Canada.

North Vancouver students in Grades 4 to 7 are coming up with a name for the crane, which will help deliver non-combat vessels for the Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Coast Guard.

The winner of the contest will have his or her name permanently etched onto the crane.

While Seaspan isn’t picky about where the name comes from, spokesman Jeff Taylor says there needs to be meaning behind it.

“The name should be two words or less and then the students will tell us why they chose it,” he tells The Outlook.

Roughly 4,000 students from 25 schools across North Van are taking part in the con-test.

An intricate part of Vancouver Shipyard’s

$200-million modernization project, the crane is scheduled to be working by this summer. The overall two-year project began in October 2012 and is slated to be finished in the fall.

“No construction project is complete without creative inspiration, and I personally can’t want to see some of the great names that are sure to be submitted,” said Brian Carter, president of Seaspan Shipyards, adding the crane is the latest landmark in the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy, an effort by the federal government to increase the number of navy and coast guard ships built in Canada.

Students must have their crane names in by March 14. The grand prize, which includes an iPad Air, will be presented during an offi-cial naming ceremony at Seaspan. Entry forms are available at seaspan.com in the News & Media section.

Bill Ruby’s gem of a careerThe makings of a unique trivia question began at Handsworth 50 years ago

» INSTANT REPLAY

Bill Ruby, who grew up playing bas-ketball at Handsworth and North Vancouver high schools, is the answer

to an interesting trivia question.Who is the only person to play, coach and ref-

eree in the top-tier of the B.C. high school boys’ basketball championships?

And you need to know that Ruby didn’t just play, coach and referee in the tournament which is set to begin its 69th annual edition on Wednesday, March 12, at the Langley Events Centre.

No sir. Ruby was selected as a second-team all-star as a player in the tournament (1966), became the head coach of two top-eight teams (third in 1979, seventh in 1980) and was chosen to referee in the championship game (1990).

That covers four decades, although technically the years ending in 0 are at the end of a decade, not the beginning. However, there’s no disputing Ruby’s amazing versatility at such a high level.

Bill Ruby’s prowess on the court first became recognized with his selection by the local senior coaches as a North Shore all-star while a Grade 11 guard at Handsworth in 1964, exactly half a century ago now. He was a second-team choice along with teammate Ed Richmond, West Van’s Phil Langley, North Van’s John Hart and St. Thomas Aquinas’ Bob Lidgate. The first team was made up of Dave Rice and Glen Carter of Delbrook, Ken Kern and Mike Dowty of West Van and Argyle’s Bob Molinski.

By the 1964-65 season, Ruby, Richmond, Langley and Lidgate were all North Shore first all-stars with Molinski who by then had trans-ferred to North Van High.

The next year Ruby moved over to North Van for the 1965-66 school year to take Grade 13 which was then in its last year in the B.C. school system. Ruby, Jim Kardash, Russ Black and Bill Russell led the Norsemen to third place at the B.C. championships, the best finish in school history. The B.C.s then consisted of one tournament for all schools regardless of size. A second tier was added in 1969, a third in 1979 and this year for the first time in boys’ basketball there are A, AA, AAA and AAAA competitions according to the male student population in Grades 11 and 12, though schools may choose to move up to another category if they feel they can compete.

Ruby played two years as starting guard with UBC’s junior varsity team (winning the Canadian junior men’s championship in St. John, New Brunswick, in 1967) and one season with the Thunderbirds before a serious ACL injury in soccer put him out of sports for an entire year.

To stay in basketball, the game he loved, he took up an offer to coach UBC women’s junior varsity team, his first coaching position. He did return to play hoops later in the old Dogwood senior A men’s league where he captained the Vancouver Capilanos team to the Canadian title.

After graduating with a teaching degree, he taught and coached at Gladstone in Vancouver where his Gladiators made the B.C.s in 1979 and 1980, the first time for the school since 1965, pulling off huge upsets to finish third that first year.

He eventually switched to refereeing and during his 10 years with the whistle he did games at the B.C. AAA girls’ championships one year and then four years for the boys, officiat-ing the 1990 title game. He also refereed at the university level.

Following retirement from teaching at Gladstone (21 years) and Tamanawis in Surrey

(11 years), he returned to coaching his sons Glenn and Drew at Surrey’s Clayton Heights. By the time the boys were playing senior, Bill had the school in the 2010 B.C. tournament for the only time in the school’s history. He’s now in his fourth season as assistant coach with Trinity Western University’s men’s team.

And it all started back there at Handsworth, the year the school opened in September 1961 as a Grade 6-9 school.

“The year I came there, we were the oldest,” he reflects now. “Every year they eliminat-ed one grade and added one. We were the senior class every year. It was a small grad class so we became very, very close. There was a small group of us that lived relatively close to Handsworth and we were all very athletic and we all played all sports. I would have played volleyball, soccer, cross country and basketball, all with the same guys.

“I can remember Doug Jennings, who was the P.E. teacher at the time [and eventually superintendent of schools in Surrey] and our basketball coach from Grade 9 to 12, saying, ‘Okay, we’re Handsworth. What should we call ourselves? What should be our nickname?’ We just bantered it around, throwing out names. Whether we came up with the name [Royals] or somebody else did, I can’t remember. But I remember him asking that because it was kind of unique, obviously, and very interesting.

“In some ways it was neat because we were the leaders but it also was a big hindrance because we never had anybody to look up to. We never had anybody to lead us, to set any precedent for us to try to attain certain goals or anything. It was always just blank.”

Grade 12 at Handsworth is actually where Ruby got his start refereeing. Jennings asked him if he’d referee during a Grade 8 tourna-ment. “At the end of the day, he handed me $10 or $15. It was the first time I ever got paid for refereeing. Hey, I thought, that’s a good deal. I had fun refereeing. I never thought I was going to get anything. That carried over to when I was

coaching at Gladstone. I made it mandatory that if you played on the senior team you had to referee at either the Grade 8 boys or girls level. When I left Gladstone there was something like seven players who had gone into refereeing.

“When I was a player at North Vancouver, our coach, Ed Pedersen, said that one of the

most important recognitions a team can have at the high school level in a major tournament was to be selected as the most sportsmanlike team. That year, North Vancouver did win that award and I know Ed was extremely proud of that accomplishment.

“My first year coaching in the tournament with Gladstone, I also told my team about that award and how it signifies not only being com-petitive but also doing it with respect for the game itself, your opponents and for the referees. And that year Gladstone also was selected as the most sportsmanlike team. This I am very proud of. To have won the award as a player and a coach, to me is something special.”

Whether Bill might even be the only one to have been part of a most sportsmanlike team as both a player and a coach, I don’t know, but for sure he is the answer to the unique player-coach-referee trivia question.

-This is episode 498 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.

Luxury wheels at just the light priceMALAGA, SPAIN - It might be winter here but it’s always nice to look forward to warmer days, filled with sun and clear roads. To get a sneak peak at what better weather looks and feels like, plus get a chance to drive the all new Mercedes GLA250 and GLA 45 AMG, the advanced drive program was held in Malaga, Spain. The GLA is built of the same plat-form as the hot, new CLA sedan that arrived last fall. Developing it into a taller, more practical small SUV is perfect for young families or couples that want the same underlying goodness that is in the CLA but with standard all wheel drive (AWD) and ease of use. Pricing has not been confirmed but when it arrives this fall, expect the same aggressive pricing that the CLA delivers. That car starts at $33,900 but with AWD comes up to $36,800.

LooksThis new GLA is not as tall as the B-Class, which also shares the same platform, and not nearly as low-slung as the CLA. The GLA has a less aggressive front grille

and stance, plus smaller wheel sizes compared to the high performance GLA 45 AMG version that sports 19-inch wheels compared to the base 18-inch wheels, but even the base model can get larger wheels as part of the Sport Package.The small, more aggressive touches and the lowered sus-pension do make the AMG look sportier and more purposeful but the stan-dard GLA with the optional 19-inch wheels is a head turner too.

InsideThe dash of the GLA is almost identical to both the CLA sedan and B-Class hatchback. There is a prominent screen mounted high in the centre of the dash, like an iPad application. The rest of the dash is sporty and functional thanks to stylish jet engine inspired air vents that

do a great job of directing air flow to just the right location. The centre cluster below the screen is very straightforward and easy to master. The biggest difference between the base model and the 45 AMG are the seats. The base comes with faux leather 12-way power seats that look and feel very good. Leather

is optional plus the seats are more bolstered. The AMG gets upgraded seats as standard equipment but race inspired Recaro seats are part of the Exclusive Package and look superb, thanks to aluminum accents and chunky side bol-sters. Other differences include a centre-mounted shifter in the AMG, where the base 250 gets the more practical column mounted gear se-lector, which frees up much needed storage in the centre of the car. Speaking of space, the back seats are much more practical compared to the CLA sedan thanks to a high-er roof, bigger back windows and much better outward visibility. The cargo area isn’t huge at 1235L but the rear seats do split and fold for additional cargo capabilities.

DriveThe base GLA 250 comes with a 2.0L turbocharged direct injection 4-cylinder with a healthy 208hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque, the same as the B-Class and base CLA. There is plenty of acceleration and cruis-ing on the highway is effortless.

Driving through the mountain can-yons back from Granada to Malaga was a real treat. The countryside is rustic and beautiful and the twisty roads sublime. The base GLA never set a wheel wrong and the 7-speed duel-clutch automatic can be left in economy, sport or manual for each driving situation. All GLA models come with standard AWD and this system can detach the rear wheels and drive in FWD for better econ-omy but switches seamlessly back when more traction or cornering capability is required, plus Dynamic Cornering Assist applies just a small amount of brake force to the inside wheel when cornering to aid in the process. The 45 AMG takes things to a completely new level. The 2.0L 4-cylinder is hand assem-bled and pumps out a whopping 355hp and 332 lb.-ft. of torque. The 7-speed transmission and AWD system have been adapted by AMG to deliver a go-cart like drive that is so reassuring and potent that it makes the driver look and feel fantastic. Cornering is effortless and the bigger wheels and lowered suspension give great feedback but it is not jarring.

VerdictMercedes Benz is enabling more people to access its brand with smaller less expensive vehicles. The new GLA 250 and GLA 45 AMG are certainly very attractive, powerful and fun vehicles to drive.

No other vehicle sold in Canada has been as dominant in a market segment as the Dodge Grand Caravan. Dodge (a.k.a. Chrysler) is often credited with inventing the “minivan” or “magic wagon,” about 30 years ago, and it makes the Grand Caravan in Canada. Competitors have come and many are gone, as none has been able to match the amazing value package that is Dodge Grand Caravan. About six or seven out of every 10 new minivans sold in Canada, in recent years, are Dodge Grand Car-avans. This, in turn, accounts for the huge selection of previously owned Grand Caravans available and the healthy competition gives a buyer a distinct advantage. Consumer Reports owner surveys show higher than average repair problems with brakes, body hard-ware and power equipment. On the plus side, basic major mechanical stuff, like engine and transmission, get generally good reliability rat-ings. No matter where you live in B.C., finding a service provider or replacement parts when needed should not be a problem and costs tend to be lower, important consid-erations for used buyers. For the 2011 model year, Dodge did a major redesign of Grand Caravan. It’s a more boxy shape than before and the interior refit incorporated the latest connectivity and safety features. Under the hood, a new 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transaxle was the only powertrain offered and all-wheel-drive was an option.In addition to being more fuel-efficient the new 3.6-litre V6 can provide a very impres-sive 283 horsepower and more than 260 lb-ft of torque, and it replaced three V6 engines (3.3-litre, 3.8-litre and 4.0-litre) that were offered in the previous Grand Caravan. City/highway fuel economy is rated at 12.2/7.9 L/100km and a new driver-selectable fuel economizer mode than can adjust powertrain

settings for best fuel economy, at the press of a switch. Grand Caravan trim levels are SE (which includes a Canada Value Package), SXT (which adds Stow ‘n Go second-row seating), Crew and R/T. The unique to Canada added value

package with the SE trim includes 16-inch steel wheels, dual-zone temperature control, keyless entry, power mirrors, power front windows, tilt and telescopic steering wheel with audio controls and driver’s knee airbag.The second-row Stow `n Go seating feature (on STX or higher trim levels) is exclusive to Grand Caravan. Improve-ments to the foldaway mech-anism, which allows them to slide into a storage compart-ment, allow a single user action. This feature quickly and effectively transforms a Grand Caravan into a two-seater cargo van, without removing the five rear seats.

A driver-side knee blocker air bag is standard and safety conscious new buyers could also add a “Safety Sphere” package. It includes ParkSense (rear park assist system), ParkView (back-up camera), Blind-spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection system (warns of crossing traffic when reversing out of a park-ing stall), rain-sensitive wipers and automatic headlamps.No significant changes were made to Grand Caravan for the 2012 model year. Changes for 2013 were minor and included an upgraded DVD package with better screens and Blu-Ray capability.Going with a popular vehicle choice has very real advantages, especially when it’s “Cana-da’s Minivan” the maximum bang-for-the-buck Dodge Grand Caravan.

Price Check: 2011 - 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan (March 2014)Year Edition Expect to Pay Today2011 SE $14,000 to $17,0002012 SE $16,000 to $19,0002013 SE $18,000 to $22,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s con-dition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

Safety Recalls: 2010 to 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan:2011- A missing or incorrectly installed steering column pivot rivet may not perform as intended in the event of a crash and increases the risk of driver injury. Dealers will inspect for steering column rivet presence and alignment, and repair as required.2012 – The 3.6 litre V6 engine may have debris in the cylinder block from the manufacturing process and this could cause connecting rod bearing and crankshaft bearing damage. Dealers will replace the engine assembly.2012 – A pinch-sensor may not function as intended and this could result in injury if a body part becomes trapped by the closing liftgate. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the right side power liftgate pinch-sensor.2012 - An incorrectly manufactured right rear hub and bearing assembly may fail and this could result in wheel separation from the vehicle. Dealers will replace the right rear hub and bearing assembly.2013 - Some vehicles may experience an unin-tended airbag deployment (on the side opposite to the collision) in a side impact collision. Dealers will reprogram the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module with updated software.2013 - The Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module may have been configured with incorrect software and airbags may not deploy as intend-ed during a crash. Dealers will replace the ORC module.
