Local shipyardsto consider bidfor new ferriesUnion head says three new mid-sizedvessels should be built in B.C.Anne [email protected]

NORTH SHORE shipbuilders say they hope to be in therunning for contracts to build three new B.C. ferries.

B.C. Ferries announced Tuesday it plans to build three new intermediate classvessels to replace aging vessels between 2014 and2017, andwill award a constructioncontract in January 2014.

Heads of both Seaspan and Allied Shipbuilders in North Vancouver called theannouncement good news for their industry.

Its good to see the announcement. Its exciting, said Jonathan Whitworth,chief executive ofcer of Seaspan. Whitworth said the company will have to see moredetails before deciding whether to bid.

Chuck Ko, head of Allied Shipubuilders, said his company is also seriouslylooking into it, calling the announcement exciting times.

Both Canadian and international shipyards have been invited to put their namesin for a pre-qualication process, which will determine who gets to bid on thecontract.

In 2004, the ferry corporation launched a stormof protest from local shipbuildersafter handing a $325 million contract for construction of three Super C class ferries

10 per cent of registered voters in all of the provinces 85 ridingsbetween Sept. 9 and Nov. 9. Once the petitioning begins, expect tosee Charrois and dozens of other volunteers going door to door andsetting up booths in places with heavy foot trafc.

Even though laws against marijuana are federal, the petitioncalls for changes to the provincial Police Act, to specically instructofcers not to enforce marijuana possession laws. If successful, thepetition would force the provincial government to address the issue,either through a non-binding referendum or bill in the legislature.

Charrois and his fellow campaigners were on the street shakinghands and signing up canvassers in Ambleside on Sunday. Here onthe North Shore, we have 71 people and its growing every day,Charrois said. Hopefully we get people with their own networkswho can get people to sign. Were growing over the summer.

Its hard to predict the initiatives chances of success, either on theNorth Shore or province wide, Charrois said. He said hes receiveda pretty positive response when were out on the street.

But he also acknowledged initiative petitions are a strict numbersgame. All it takes is one of the 85 (ridings) to not get 10 per centof the registered voters, he said.

Adding to the challenge is that people who want to sign thepetition can only do so in the riding in which they are registeredto vote. It can be tricky. If we get someone who lives in WestVancouver and they sign one fromNorth Vancouver, well, it doesntcount, he said.

To combat that, canvassers will be out with petition pages foreach of the North Shores ridings.

Sobering ideasATTORNEY General SuzanneAnton has announced herministry will take on a fullreview of the provinces antiquatedliquor regulations and we say cheersto that.Our laws are among the strictest in

Canada and, by extension, the world.Many of them date back to a time

when government was trying to appeasethe20thcentury temperancemovement,which viewed booze as sinful, demonalcohol. The temperance leaguers aremostly gone, but many of their rulesremain on the books.Europeans are bafed that, because

of our bizarre rats nest of rules, we canbuy a bottle of wine and lottery ticketsin one place, but must go to anotherif we want some cheese or bread to gowith it.Happy hours? Not for us.

Wine and a movie? Nope.Only recently have we been allowed

to bring our own wine to a meal out.But restaurants and entertainment

venues often still live or die based onwhether they can wrest a liquor licencefrom the B.C. Liquor Control andLicensing Branch that will work forboth the province, and their customers.Theres even talk of gasp

allowing us to have a glass of wine witha picnic in the park or a beer at thebeach.No one is saying we should repeal

the rules about public intoxication orunderage drinking. Those things willremain every bit as illegal as before.But as long as the province remembersthese are rules for adults, and keepsthe consumer in mind when makingchanges, well raise a glass to some new,and more modern, ideas.

SUMMER is the sillyseason in the mediaworld, but the tsunamiof media hype thathelped buy an electionand thats now tryingto lull B.C. voters intosupporting a futurehere clogged by coal,natural gas and moredirty oil problems isas serious as a heartattack.

Not everyone wants to thinkabout ethical responsibilityregarding our childrensfuture, but in preparationfor upcoming fall electioncampaigns in Washington State,Seattles KCTS public televisionhas been airing outstandingcivic issues programminglately. Its recent self-produceddocumentary on the exportcoal-port debate was superiorreporting. Why couldnt we

have had something similarhere addressing both sides ofthe pipeline expansion debatein B.C.?

That would have meantairing some of the dirty laundrythat the fossil fuel lobby preferslocked up.

Breaking the mould thispast week was KnowledgeNetworks outstanding docu-feature on the 2006 sinkingof the Queen of the Northferry off Hartley Bay. Thatsa disaster Enbridge pipelinesupporters dont want usthinking about. Shippingmega-cargoes of Albertas dirty

oil through B.C.s dangerousnorthern waters is supposedto be as safe as Thomas theTank Engine. A big spill canthappen, right? But the marinedisaster we dread alreadyhappened. First Nationsresidents in the region havehad their ocean food sourcescontaminated by seepage fromthe sunken ferry: 220,000 litresof diesel and 23,000 litres ofoil still lie 400 metres deep.Thats not fear-mongering, justhideous fact.

Remember it whenB.C. Liberals suddenly startthinking of good reasons toreluctantly support theNorthern Gateway pipeline.You know that particular votingtechnique. Its the one thatDistrict of North Vancouvermayor and councillors havebeen perfecting while radicallytransforming the districtlandscape on behalf of bigproperty developers and MetroVancouver bureaucrats. Itscalled wanting jam on bothsides of your bread. You votefor unpopular redevelopmentproposals while talking abouthow bad it makes you feel.

Local history shows that

its hard for a mayor not tosupport the big business boys.Few have that kind of moralcourage. Councillors thoughare expected to represent localvoters. In the district theydlike us to feel sorry for themwhile overpopulating anddensifying neighbourhoodsdespite community resistance.Theres Coun. Robin Hickstalking to the good people ofEdgemont Village about whyhes reluctantly voting for thelatest big-money seniors livingfacility there. And theres Coun.Mike Little courageously votingagainst that same toweringthree-storey application. Toobad this hero didnt have thecourage to speak out againstthe 33-storey highrise Godzillaat Seylynn where peopledont vote in quite the samebig numbers, or against the11-storey seniors highrise atParkgate. Thats the one hejoined in supporting against thewishes of more than 1,000 localresidents protesting against it.

Its also the same highrisehe now complains has only34 per cent occupancyessentially proving what theneighbourhood told him: that

there wasnt need for that kindof height here. A decent four-storey job would have sufced exactly what the locals heignored told him.

Big buildings, big sell-outs.If you know how the othervotes on council will play outin advance, you can even voteagainst a project knowing itllpass.

And theres supersize meCoun. Roger Bassam, who tookit upon himself after a previousvote dropped the height of thebiggest Seylynn tower downto only mid-20s level to askfor a vote of reconsideration.That way it could be inatedback to the full Nanaimo asthese preposterous decisionsused to be called in AlanFotheringhams heyday.

It really hurt Mayor RichardWalton and some of the othercouncillors to vote in supportof that towering monstrositytoo. From their crocodiletears youd have thought theywere constructing a city asbeautiful as Paris. Except classyParisians have fought since theirRevolution to keep the most

SINCE 1959

Beauty queens and scientists, watch outIF, after this column ispublished, they nd mybody stuffed in a barrelof maple syrup oatingdown the Rideau Canal,youll know that I cametoo close to the truth,that I knew too much.

If that happens, friends,please dont seek revenge byviolence. What this countryneeds is more peace andco-operation, not morestrife and fear. Also a StanleyCup winner would be nice.Anyone? Luongo?

Anyhoo, what secret doI know? I have the famousenemy list that caused sucha stir last week. In a ployripped from the pages of a 15-year-old girls diary, the PrimeMinisters Ofce sent out amemo directing Conservativestaffers to compile lists fornew Government of Canadacabinet ministers detailingWho to engage or avoid:friend and enemy. Theywerent talking about theTaliban either they meantdangerous Canadians like RexMurphy and Anne of GreenGables. Sassy radicals, both ofthem.

How did I get the enemylist? It was sent to me by afriend who doesnt exist on aplane that doesnt y. Winkwink, know what I mean?

Alright, shoot. I donthave the real list. No onewho would dare to make thelist public has seen it. Thatswhy all we can do is guess,which Im going to do here.Hopefully this doesnt land

me on List 2.0 I dontwant PMO goons hackingmy computer and nding outall my secrets (I swear, I haveno idea how all those nudepictures of Laura Secord gotonto my hard drive. I didnteven know they had digitalcameras back in the 1800s).

Heres the list. If youreon it, youre an enemy of thestate your Canadian Tiremoney is no longer good here.

Miss Canada contestants:These leggy go-getters arealways going on and on aboutworld peace this and globalharmony that. Well Miss, youcan kindly cram it. Canadadid give the world Lester B.Pearson, the father of modernUnited Nations peacekeepingand a Nobel Peace Prizewinner, but thats not howwe roll now. In 2012 Canadaranked 53rd in the world withless than a schoolbus-loadof peacekeepers deployed,according to a Globe and Mailarticle. Word is we did givethose peacekeepers a brownbag lunch on the school bus

but, of course, they were lesswell armed than an averagebus full of eighth graders.

Anyway, keep the peaceand talk to yourselves, beautyqueens. The authors of theenemy list will be keepinga very close eye on all youractivities. Very close.

Beach babes and dudes:Youre on watch too, all yougorgeous people on KitsilanoBeach. Your enemy statuswas conrmed earlier thisyear when the Conservativestook away your Coast Guardstation, formerly the busiestin Canada. You and yoursculpted abs can fend for

yourselves dont comewhining to the government atthe rst sign of trouble.

Oh boo hoo, my sexylungs are full of water. Wahwah, my beautiful blond hairis caught in a shing line.

Pipe down, stud. And stayaway from those shing lines these oceans are for shfarms and oil tankers, not forpaddling very slowly on top ofa surfboard.

You may have noticed aninteresting pattern on the listso far: everyone on it is in theyoung hottie demographic.Just take note if youreyoung and sexy, you might

want to act extra-Conservativeto avoid the list. Now whosnext?

Justin Trudeau: Oh boy,lets move on.

Accountants: OK, here wego nally an enemy thathits closer to home for theConservative governmentsOld Whitey Town base. Ofcourse, those bean counterslost their privileges when theystarted counting all the beansin the expense accounts ofConservative senators. Whatpart of conservative madeyou think they were overlyconcerned with managingmoney wisely?

Statisticians: Beat it nerds.Whats that? Nerds are coolnow? No theyre not. Youknow whats cool? Notknowing stuff. Youre on theenemy list, stat heads. Makesure you include that whenyoure lling out the nextcensus.

Scientists: What part ofshut up and do your jobdont you understand? Wait,make that shut up and dontdo your job. Dont worry politicians know everythingthey need to know already.The Earth is getting warmer?

BEST NEWBUSINESS

beautiful city on earth almost uniformly six-stories high throughoutits vast central area. Its an ancient law supported by commonersand kings alike the right to sunlight. These district dullardsneed to travel more, hopefully at their own expense.

Unfortunately, they seem to invest too much time attendingMetro Vancouver meetings in places like Burnaby Metrotownand Surrey. Thats where the Stockholm Syndrome sets in. Youstart out with a conscience, maybe even a set of ethics. Beforeyou know it, the unelected, overpaid bureaucrats who controlyour information ows, and who can inuence who gets invitedto serve on committees and earn extra money begin thetransformation. Few resist the pressure and attery. Soon youreanother municipal council zombie, still dreaming of becomingpremier or future federal cabinet material while voting the way theMetro bureaucrats coax you to. Bye-bye independent thinking.Suddenly 30-storey towers almost make sense in the District ofNorth Vancouver, except that they dont. Never mind: the MetroVan bullies tell you its the right thing to do. Thats what becomesof the dream in municipal politics.

Were conditioned to believe that what were given is the waylife should be. What happened to freedom of thinking? Why, forexample, have district mayor and council studiously avoided anydiscussion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal the corporateand federal heavies are trying to ram down our throats in BurrardInlet? The biggest issue in the region and we get a herd ofmunicipal ostriches, heads down with a few standard cop-outsabout why they shouldnt have to speak. Why are the Tsleil-Waututh, a small First Nations people, having to lead public debateon this burning issue that everyone knows is coming down like thehorsemen of the Apocalypse?

Alas, Mayor Richard Walton and DNV council are only halfwaythrough their mandate. Theres plenty left for them to do andyou have to feel for Lynn Valley, where the next big Frankensteinexperiment in better highrise living is set to ignite.

Meanwhile, Cedar Cove has just premiered. Hope you caught it.Its a speciality channel program lmed in Deep Cove. Last week, Icounted 46 hands on the job one morning beside the governmentdock with similar numbers in the lab editing post-production.Lets hope another updated, folksy series like The BeachcombersorNorthern Exposure can still nd an audience. For the sake of allthose young people learning the ropes in the tough world of showbusiness, it deserves a regular Sunday night slot.

Causeway safety options under review

Anne [email protected]

CHANGES to make cycling theStanley Park causeway safer for cyclistsare being fast-tracked by the provinceafter the fatal crash of a cyclist twomonths ago.

Cyclists lobbied for safety improvements aftera 61-year-old woman from North Vancouver waskilled May 25 after she fell off the sidewalk whileriding her bike andwas struck by aWestVancouvertransit bus.

Following the accident, HUB, a cyclingadvocacy organization, created a petitiondemanding sidewalk improvements and gatheredmore than 600 signatures.

Now it appears those calls for change areprompting action.

Recently, B.C.s TransportationMinister ToddStone met with the City of Vancouver and theVancouver Parks Board to discuss short and longterm safety solutions for cyclists on the causeway.

The tragedy that took place on the StanleyPark Causeway obviously gave us all pause,said Stone in public statements this week. TheMinistryofTransportation is absolutely committedto developing a plan for improvements.

Stone said those improvements could includebarriers, sidewalk widening, and separate pathwaysfor pedestrians and cyclists.

Certainly, my instructions to my staff havebeen to expedite these discussions and makesure, in concert with the city of Vancouver andVancouver Parks Board, that were in a positionto actually implement some improvements as soonas possible, he said. The review our ministryundertook several weeks ago is very close to

being done.Antje Wahl, North Shore committee

chairwoman for HUB, said her group is happyplans for the safety improvements are movingahead.

Wahl said she is hoping theministrywill includesome public input when they nalize changes.

The number 1 priority is to have some kindof barrier between people on bikes and car trafcbecause there is just no room for error right now,she said. The second thing is to then also separatepedestrians and cyclists because the current

sidewalk is quite narrow and speed difference is solarge.

Wahl said even having a bell on a bike does notwork, as most pedestrians cannot hear them overthe car trafc. Its very difcult to communicate,said Wahl.

The results of the ministrys review will bereleased soon, said Stone, hopefully by the end ofthe summer. The ministry will be meeting againwith the City of Vancouver and the VancouverParks Board to review and discuss the optionsthat have been identied, said Kate Trotter,

spokeswoman for the Ministry of Transportation.The review will look at multiple variables

including effectiveness of each option, impactto environment and current infrastructure,constructability and cost.

The improvements could be an opportunity forthe North Shore to get more people cycling fromStanley Park to the Spirit Trail, but signs and saferconnections have to be made rst, said Wahl.

Right now the causeway is really a missinggap, and other routes leading to the bridge are notsigned either and theyre mostly not really safe,she said. The issue is that there are more andmore people riding their bike to work or whereverand there are more people using the causeway.

Wahl said it took the death of somebody to getthe ministry to look at the causeway safety issuesand the quicker they can make the changes thebetter.

We just dont want something else to happenin the mean time, she said.

Missing manfound at partyBrent [email protected]

NORMALLY, when North Shore Rescuevolunteers are called out to nd a missing person,theres actually someone in need of help.

But when they scrambled two ground teams and a helicopterto search the Mount Seymour area recently, it was all for a falsealarm one that should have been avoided, according to NorthShore Rescue team leader Tim Jones.

The RCMP asked for North Shore Rescues help after amountain biker last seen on July 16 failed to come home.

He told his roommate he would be riding for the rest of theday.

Jones interviewed the worried roommate and determinedthe overdue mountain biker could be lost in the rugged BoulderCreek area.

We immediately got a helicopter up with fading light tolook into the Boulder Creek specically to see if he was in there,injured and could not get out, Jones said. Concurrently wehad two eld teams go into Boulder Creek and into the IndianArm.

The mans cellphone was reportedly not working and he wasotherwise incommunicado.

RCMP checked with local hospitals and the mountain bikecommunity responded by spreading the word on social media.

Social media, it turned out, was the key to nding themissing man who had been at a party in Vancouver all along.

There was a lot of activity of people trying to gure outwhere he was, Jones said. The RCMP phoned us. They werenot pleased. He had been located at a party in Kitsilano.

The attempted rescue not only took volunteers time andresources, it also put them in danger, Jones said.

Several search and rescue volunteers have died whileresponding to false alarms.

This individual, in our opinion, is a completely irresponsibleperson, Jones said. He put our team members at risk.

While it is always advisable to let a friend know when you aregoing into the backcountry, its also important to follow up ifyou change plans, Jones said.

and no connectors.North Shore News: Whatsort of programming does itoffer?Kuzel: We have monthlymorning meetings called C3:Coffee, Conversations andConnections.

Double duty

Sip wisely this summer seasonJessica PirnakContributing writer

ITS ofcial, summer is nallyhere the kiddies are out ofschool, the sun is shining and as abonus its actually hot outside.

But before you start complaining thatits too hot and abandon your outdooradventures I thought I would breakdown the nutritional information on yourfavourite refresher. Lucky for you there aremany fast food chains and coffee shops thatpretty much make the same delicious icedcoffee, but should an ice coffee be your go-to summer beverage?

Unfortunately, all have a ton of sugar!Generally, for the smallest size availableyoure already looking at approximately 35grams of sugar. For reference, 345 millilitresof cola contains 39 grams of sugar.

According to the 2012 DietaryGuidelines for Americans, no guidelines arein place for daily sugar intake. However, theAmerican Heart Association recommendsreducingyour added sugar intake tonomorethan 100 calories/day for women and 150calories/day for men. To help digest thesenumbers, one gram of sugar equates to fourcalories. Therefore, one iced coffee equals adays worth of added sugar for both womenand men. Added sugar is very different thansugar found naturally in many healthy foodslike fruit, so the focus is just on added sugarand sugar from high-calorie foods.

As a side note, its easy to forget thatdrinks, like food, have calories. If you eator drink more calories than you burn offeach day, you will gain weight. This is whyexperts believe that drinks may be related tothe current obesity problem.

To make any drink healthier, ask for thesmallest size and have it made with skim

milk and no whip cream. Whatever drinkyou choose, enjoy it not as your everydayrefresher, rather as an amazing treat on a hotbeautiful sunny summer day.

Foryoureverydayrefresher,Irecommendgood old water. To stay well hydratedduring the day, aim to drink between sixand eight cups of water. One trick is to carryaround a water bottle youll be surprisedhow often it needs to be relled. Also, if youcant stand the taste of water, try addingfresh lemons or cucumbers for some naturalavour.

Cheers!

I smile as I sit amongthe giant cedar treesoverlooking the beautifulbackdrop of Whistler.

Over the last seven days, aspart of the B.C. Bike Race, Ivetravelled 400 kilometres of epicsingle track from Cumberlandto Whistler along with 550athletes from all over the planet.

This was the seventh editionof the race, and I must say itwas the best yet! Dean Payneand Andreas Hestler are at thehelm of this amazing event,which takes participants offthe beaten path and throughsome of the most breathtakingmountain bike terrain the worldhas to offer. However, it is thededicated crew and volunteersthat enable this rolling circus toease from town to town, show-casing the magical trails andambiance that only small townBritish Columbia possesses.

The incredible athletes maketheir way to the start line eachday regardless of the aches

and pains that plague theirexhausted bodies. Their smilesinvigorate the soul as theyspeed off into the tight, rooty,rocky single track, letting outyahoos wherever possible.Once theyre off their bikes therace continues, but this time itsto shovel food into their wither-ing bodies! Then its off to getshowered, clean their bikes,and get settled into tents for amuch-needed rest.

Ive been working withthe B.C. Bike Race since day1 and enjoy cruising throughthe single track on my trialsmotorbike lming the athletesthroughout the day. The trialsbike allows me to run withleaders at their blistering paceand also ease back through thepack to capture each differentrider experience. Off my bike, Irace to download the footage,sift through it and put togethera lm of the day. This allowsracers to relive the day and fortheir families around the worldto see what they are experienc-ing.

Some people have asked mehow our crew is able to pull offthis amazing event. The secretis that each individual who is apart of the crew or is volunteer-ing goes above and beyond toensure their specic task getsaccomplished. It also makes ahuge difference that all of oursponsors, like B.C. Ferries,Shimano and our foundingsponsor, Harbour Air, care

so much that they too go theextra mile. In fact, when wecould t no more people on theSaltery Bay ferry, Harbour Airspresident, Greg McDougall,called in extra twin otter oatplanes to whisk stranded racersto the start line, all while he wasgetting ready for his race day.

In my opinion, the B.C.Bike Race is probably one ofthe best tourism promotionsthat British Columbia has.Most people want adventurewhen they travel and this eventoffers an adventure of a lifetime.Athletes and their families getto experience our beautifulbackyard and are treated likeroyalty. I cant wait for nextyear! For more info, check outbcbikerace.com.

Adventurer Dave Norona wouldlike to thank each and every vol-unteer, racer, sponsor and townalong this years route. You aretruly awesome! His escapades aresupported by PowerBar, GoProand Beta trials.

Simma Holt, like Kay aguest panelist on Front PageChallenge, was at that lunch.Holt, a veteran reporter withThe Province, thought Kayshould join the paper.

List features summer sippers and BBQ drops

Notable PotablesTim Pawsey

THERES no time like inthe midst of a rare WestCoast heat wave to rollout a list of noteworthybudget sippers and goodvalue barbecue drops.

In summer we crave whitesthat are often lower in alcoholand are crisp and fresh, withno or negligible oak. (Not tomention lighter reds to ross.)

Theres no rhyme norreason to this list. Just a six-

pack of decent and above allwallet-friendly whites, perfectfor value-driven summersipping. You can pin this one tothe fridge. The Beach House WhiteBlend

Heres a refreshing surprisefrom the Cape, a clean comboof 80/20 Sauv. Blanc/Semillonthat lives up to its airy,summery label and delivers a lotmore than you might expect;gooseberry and citrus noteswith some interesting mineral

and grapefruit mid-palate hints.Just the ticket for a chilledseafood salad and one of thebest deals around for $11.99(BCLS) 88 points. Finca Los Primos 2012Torrontes (San Rafael)

This Argentine label enjoysa well-earned rep for makinggood entry level wines and thisis no exception. Pale gold in theglass with orange citrus on topbefore a surprisingly texturedpalate with oral and honeynotes and a pleasing touch of

acidity. This is another winnerthat you can take to the bank.Think chilled chicken withmandarin salad (BCLS $9.99)89 points. El Petite BonhommeVerdejo 2012 (Rueda)

Another winner from ex-patCanadian winemaker NathalieBonhomme, this stonefruit andtropical-toned drop is summerylight on the palate with mineraland melon notes before a crispend. Easy summer sipping, ortapas (after all, it is Verdejo!),for sure ($14.99) 88 points. Stoneleigh LatitudeSauvignon Blanc 2012(Marlborough)

Classic no-holds-barredKiwi Sauv. Blanc with citrusand hints of gooseberry on top,followed by a pretty structuredpalate of lime sherbert andgrapefruit zest notes, with goodacidity and a clean, citrus-tonednish. Extra heft comes from aportion in neutral oak barrelsbut its not apparent (BCLS$16.99) 89 points. 14 Hands Hot to Trot2012

This well-balancedcocktail of WashingtonState Pinot Gris, Chardonnay,Viognier and more sports appleand oral notes on top followedby pear and citrus avourson the broad palate with alingering nish (BCLS specialty$16.99) 88 points. Wakeeld Riesling 2011(Clare Valley)

It would be illegal (or

should be) to have a list like thiswithout at least one Riesling.If you like wines that are crisp,clean and decently acidic, thisones for you. It sports brightfruit with some good tartGranny Smith and zesty lemonnotes, with hints of petrolcoming on as it develops. PWS(Im not sure why its not atBCLS) $20-$23, 90 points.

Author chroniclesher culinary journey The Little Paris Kitchen,by Rachel Khoo, ChronicleBooks, 288 pages, $39.

Terry [email protected]

THE allure of Parisenticed London-basedfashion publicist RachelKhoo to give up her joband move to the City ofLight.

There she enrolled in LeCordon Bleu and began herculinary adventure. Falling inlove with both the city andits food led Khoo to immerseherself in French cuisine.Five years later, she is sharingher story in this delightfulcookbook.

Putting her own spin onsome classic dishes like steaktartar and coq au vin, Khooshares not only a collection ofrecipes but also her discovery ofthem.

Her sense of style pervadesthe book like the sweet smellof fresh baking and we arebrought along for the ride withher as she shops, cooks andexplores her way throughoutthe city. The food is beautifully

photographed by David Loftus,butheprovidesmuchmore thanfood pictures as he documentsKhoos experiences both in andout of the kitchen.

The recipes are dividedinto seven chapters: EverydayCooking, Snack Time, SummerPicnics, Aperitifs, Dinner withFriends and Family, SweetTreats, and French Basics.

Each recipe is presentedwith Khoos description ofher connection to the dish,followedbyherdetailed cookinginstructions. It is soon apparentthat the clich of butter-laden,overly complicated Frenchcooking is not the case.

With her easygoing writingand willingness to be the subjectfor Loftus lens, Khoo managesto make this feel like a sharedpersonal journey.

Untraining a behaviour takes patience

FORTUNATELY mylittle dog Raider was onleash when he decided itwas a good idea to chaseafter a cyclist.

I, of course, did not thinkit was a good idea for him tochase after a cyclist.

Raider, being an Australiancattle dog, border collie crosshas an incredible prey drive for actual prey. The preydrive is the instinctual desireto chase after things. Somedogs have a higher degree ofthis instinct than others andsome dogs express this preydrive with different objectsand in different situations.

For example, my Germanshepherd will chase squirrels, aball, stick or Frisbee ceaselesslybut could care less abouthorses, cyclists or joggersrunning by. Meanwhile Raidercould care less about balls andsticks but he loves to chasecows, goats, geese and, well,cyclists!

The chasing cows andgoats thing is due to the factthat I have been training himto work cows while I am onhorseback, which is one of thereasons I chose to adopt him.But the cyclist thing was asurprise to me.

Realizing this behaviourcould potentially lead toproblems when he is off leashand we are around cyclists orjoggers, we have started anuntraining-training regime.

I am untraining Raiderto chase certain things whilemaintaining his training tochase other things.

I approach this situationwith a great deal of patience.Because he is going tolearn something that iscounterintuitive, I will onlyuse positive reinforcement tobuild a new image in his headabout chasing things. Usingpunishment could increase hisagitation around cyclists andusing negative reinforcement which is the removal of areward for an inappropriatebehaviour would notwork because the biggestreward to Raider would bechasing the cyclist. No treatcould compete with that andI am certainly not going toallow any chasing of any kindaround cyclists as a reward.The image I want to create inhis head is that cyclists meancalm disinterested behaviour.

Starting him on leash, I goto an area that is frequentedby cyclists and I observe himas we approach the movingbikers. The moment he beginsto show signs of being justthe slightest bit stimulated bythe movement of the cyclistsI immediately stop. I dontask Raider to sit or doanything really as I am notteaching him any obedienceexercises around the cyclists.Rather, I am rewarding calmand disinterested behaviour,which he needs to expresswillingly as opposed to measking for it.

If I ask him to sit, he couldeasily be in an over-stimulatedstate internally but because

he is sitting on commandhe is only showing me hisexternal state of being, whichis considered a false behaviour.If I reward this, then I couldbe rewarding an agitated dogthat sits nicely. I want a calmdog that is unreactive nomatter what position he is in.So I wait quietly until Raidergoes to a neutral state andturns his attention away fromthe cyclists and towards me.When he does this I markthe behaviour with a yes

then give him a treat andpraise. When he successfullybegins to show unreactivebehaviour consistently thenI end the exercise with hisrecall, Raider come andrun backwards away from thecyclist, with him leashed.
