A recent poll conductedin the three North Shoreridings shows the Liberalcandidates leading in twoand the NDP leading inone.

But support among

Conservative voters isalso increasing and a largeundecided vote remains awildcard factor.

The polling companyInsights West conductedthe recent poll for theDogwood Initiative – a B.C.environmental organization– in seven federal ridings,

including three on the NorthShore, between Sept. 9 and13.

Pollsters asked 300adults in each local ridingwhich candidate they would

support if the election wereheld tomorrow. Thoseresults are consideredaccurate with plus or minus5.6 percentage points, 19times out of 20.

Results show the Liberalsare maintaining their leadsin both West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea toSky Country and NorthVancouver ridings, whilethe NDP is out in front inBurnaby North-Seymour.

But Conservatives areholding steady in two ridingsand making gains in a third.There’s still a lot of volatilityamong the electorate, saidMario Canseco, vice-president of public affairs forInsights West, which couldserve to narrow the races inthe weeks ahead.

In North Vancouver, thestory the polls tell is “theLiberals made a surge” sinceJuly, said Canseco. Liberal

candidate AndrewWilkinsonmade the big gains since asimilar poll was conductedin July, jumping from 25 to33 per cent. Conservativecandidate, incumbentAndrew Saxton is in secondplace, according to the poll,with a support holdingsteady – moving from 24to 25 per cent. Support forNDP candidate Carleen

Thomas has slipped, from19 per cent in July to 11per cent. Support for theGreens remains relativelyunchanged, at 10 per cent.

In West Vancouver,name recognition of Liberalcandidate and former mayorPamela Goldsmith-Joneslikely helped her party take anarrow lead, moving from 23to 28 per cent. Some of thatlead may have come at theexpense of NDP candidateLarry Koopman, as somevoters opt for a “strategicvoting” choice. The NDP’sresults dropped slightlyfrom 19 to 18 between theJuly and September polls.Conservative candidate andincumbent JohnWeston isholding second place in theriding, and has also madegains in support, from 22 to25 percent. Green candidateKenMelamed remains infourth place at nine per cent.

In Burnaby North-Seymour, “The numbershave changed quitedrastically” since July, saidCanseco.

The story the poll tells inthat riding is the narrowingof the race between theNDP and Conservatives, hesaid. While NDP candidateCarol Baird Ellan is stillleading in that riding with28 per cent, that support hasdropped since July, when asimilar poll put it at 35 percent. Conservative candidateMike Little, meanwhile, hassignificantly closed the gap,moving into second placewith 25 per cent, up from aprevious 15 per cent. Liberalsupport has also increased,putting candidate TerryBeech in third place with 16per cent – up from six percent in July. Polls indicateGreen candidate LynneQuarmby has dropped fromsecond to fourth place, goingfrom 19 per cent in July to

seven per cent in September.One factor that’s still

likely to have a big impactcome election day are theundecided voters, whichrange from 20 to 24 per centin the three North Shoreridings, according to theInsights West poll.

Canseco said that’s notunusual in a riding-levelpoll asking about specificcandidates, which producemore undecided voters thannational polls which only askabout party support.

Riding level polls also relyon smaller sample sizes thannational polls. While roughly300 people were polled ineach local riding for theInsights West poll, nationalpolls normally rely on asample size of 1,000.

But national polls canalso miss key influencesin local ridings. Somenational pollsters, like EricGrenier’s threehundredeight.com aggregate a number ofnational polls results andthen attempt to weight thembased on local factors.

Canseco said regardlessof the size, pollsters have tomake sure they get a samplethat’s representative of thedemographics in the riding –by asking the right questions.

How the poll isconducted can also influencethe result, said pollsterGreg Lyle of InnovativeResearch. Most nationalpolls are either conductedonline or by “robocalling”voters. Live telephone polls– which is how Insights Westconducted the riding levelpolls – are considered moreaccurate, but are also moreexpensive.

A final key factor is whenthe poll was done. “Earlypolls are not necessarilypredictive of the end,” saidLyle, noting that in someelections, support for partiescan swing by 20 points in thefinal weeks.

Conservative candidateJohn Weston, who ranthe Terry Fox run inWest Vancouver withLaureen Harper, thewife of Prime MinisterStephen Harper, onSunday, said he doesn’tthink an announcementlinking support for the

Terry Fox Run to theoutcome of the federalelection means the eventis being used for politicalgain.

“I think it’s fullyappropriate to support theTerry Fox Foundation,”said Weston. But he saidif one party is making aspecific promise, “it can’thappen unless the partythat’s proposing it gets

elected.”Weston was responding

to questions this week inthe wake of a controversythat blew up after theTerry Fox Foundationand members of the Foxfamily appeared to distancethemselves from a promiseby the Conservatives tohelp the charity if they arere-elected.

Party spokesmanJames Moore announcedSunday the Tories wouldmatch donations raisedduring this year’s Terry

Fox Run, up to $35million, if they win theelection. With LaureenHarper by his side, Moorechallenged other partiesto “double down on ourcommitment” to the Foxfoundation, adding “Butit’s a commitment that willfor sure be met by StephenHarper should he beelected.”

Moore added theFox family thought theannouncement was “great”

Police laid 23 chargesMonday against amanthey allege was themastermind behind astring of arson attacks onlaw enforcement officialsincluding a deliberately setfire inWest Vancouver.

Police have arrested andcharged Vincent Eric Gia-Hwa Cheung, a 40-year-old Langley resident withnumerous charges including11 counts of arson for violentincidents across the LowerMainland between April2011 and January 2012.

But they said they are

still looking for the man whoactually carried out the arsonon the home of a formerWest Vancouver police chiefin January 2013.

Security footage fromthe incident, first releasedthree years ago, shows anunidentified suspect pouringliquid from a jerry can on thehouse in the 1000-block ofLawson Avenue in the earlyhours of Jan. 13, 2012, andlighting it. The resulting firecaused extensive damageto the home and sent oneperson to hospital.

Until about two weeksbefore the fire, the homebelonged to former WestVancouver Chief Const.

Scott Armstrong, whoheaded the detachmentfrom February to December2006.

“We are still looking forinformation to try to identifythe person in that video,”said Staff Sgt. LindseyHoughton of the RCMP’sCombined Forces SpecialEnforcement Unit. “Webelieve there are people outthere who know who thatis.”

Investigators concludedthe arson was linked toa string of violent LowerMainland incidents thattargeted 15 people with aconnection to the Justice In-stitute of B.C., which trains

police and other emergencypersonnel. Police said athreatening email was re-ceived by the Justice Institutein July 2011 that named ninepeople. All but one had theirhomes or vehicles targeted inan attack.

Police believe a womanwho worked at ICBC usedthe insurance company’sdatabase to obtain personalinformation about 65 peoplewho worked or studied atthe institute, including the14 victims. The woman wasfired from her job in 2011for inappropriately accessingcustomer information, saidICBC spokesman AdamGrossman. To date, no

charges have been laidagainst her.

TheWest Vancouverarson at the former po-lice chief’s home was thelast in the string of violentincidents. But police saidbetween Dec. 31, 2014, andJan. 13, 2015, a numberof victims of the attacksreceived suspicious letters inthe mail. One of those con-tained a warning that attackswould resume this year.

Houghton said policebelieve they know the motivefor the attacks, but wouldnot discuss it, saying that willbe part of the court case.

Houghton describedCheung as having been

“associated with peopleinvolved in gangs andorganized crime,” specificallythe United Nations gang.A second man, ThurmanRonley Taffe, a 54-year-oldBurnaby resident, has alsobeen arrested and chargedwith arson in connectionwith one of the incidents.

Both men appearedin B.C. Supreme CourtMonday morning and havebeen remanded in custodyuntil their next courtappearance Oct. 1.

“I’m sure there willbe a lot of very interestedpeople going to thatcourt appearance,” saidHoughton.

West Vancouver businessand community leadersare pouring some saltwater on the province’splan to study a highwaylink to the SunshineCoast.

Transportation andInfrastructure MinisterTodd Stone made theannouncement last week,saying the study wouldlook at the costs andbenefits of a proposed link,as it relates to tourism

and investment on theSunshine Coast and inPowell River.

Options on the tablerange from a highwaylink around Jervis Inlet todirect bridge connectionsalong the coast, accordingto the ministry.

But, a new highway toa new community wouldonly mean more traffic forthe North Shore’s alreadychoked bottlenecks,according to WestVancouver Mayor MichaelSmith.

“I think the whole thingis completely ridiculous.I don’t know why theywould float this,” Smithsaid.

“Obviously, with thedevelopment that wouldoccur on the SunshineCoast and all the day-

trippers that go up there– we already have a trafficcrisis on the North Shore.How are those peoplegoing to get on and off theNorth Shore?”

Smith said any suchfixed link to the coastshould come with a thirdcrossing to Vancouver,though he acknowledgedthere’s little chance of thathappening.

“The North Shoreis the only part of theentire Metro region thathasn’t had additional roadcapacity – to and from –added in the last 60 years.Every other area – pickan area, and you havenew bridges and tunnelsand everything else andnothing for the NorthShore.”

Holly Kemp, president

of the Horseshoe BayBusiness Association,questioned the costs ofsuch a project.

“It’s hundreds ofmillions if it’s not a$1-billion-plus.” Kempsaid.

“It seems it’s a reallygood diversion awayfrom their existingtransportation system,which is in fact the ferries.If they don’t have $200million to help out theferry system with theHorseshoe Bay terminal,then where are they goingto come up with thehundreds and hundredsof millions of dollarsit’s going to cost to dosomething like this?”

A proposed fixed linkto the Sunshine Coastis something that’s

been talked about forgenerations, according toWest Vancouver-Sea toSky MLA Jordan Sturdy,and a number of groupshave been asking for afresh look at the issue

A bridge or highwaymay end up being cheaperin the long run, he added.“Certainly, looking atexisting ferry servicesrelative to an investmentthat would put in place afixed link is clearly one ofthe motivators. There’s no

question about that,” hesaid.

But, Sturdy added,Smith and Kemp arejumping to conclusionsabout what the impactshere would be, giventhat the proposed routeshaven’t been studied.

“Really, we want toinform the discussionwith some factualinformation and see ifthere are opportunitiesthat are worth investigatingfurther,” he said.

SunshineCoast fixed link study raises ireHighway linkwould add totraffic crisis, saysW. Van mayor

and were “enthusiastic”about it.

But the family, whichhas been adamant in itsnon-partisan stance, laterissued a statement saying“we did not respondenthusiastically suggestingthe idea was great as MPJames Moore reported inyesterday’s Conservativeannouncement…”

The family added “Wewill continue to make nopublic comments withrespect to any federalparty promises during theelection campaign unlessit is a unified all-party

announcement.”The Terry Fox

Foundation also issued astatement with a reminderof the foundation’s “non-partisan” status.

Weston said LaureenHarper’s participationin the West Vancouverrun on Sunday wasn’tpolitically motivated.He said while he invitedpeople to take part in therun, he didn’t tell themHarper would be there.“I thought that mightpoliticize a non-politicalevent,” he said.

Both Weston andHarper did the 35th WestVancouver Terry Fox Run

along the seawall in thepouring rain, with about adozen others.

The foundation hasset a goal of raising $35million this year, to markthe 35th anniversary of the

run.Weston has taken part

in a number of previousTerry Fox Runs andalso spearheaded effortsto bring the run back toTaiwan in 2014.

Abridge too farL ike many, we were caught off guard

by the province’s announcementit would investigate the costs and

benefits of a fixed link to the SunshineCoast.With only 30,000 residents, what could

justify building kilometres of new highwaysand or bridges?But, a prudent government does these

types of studies before making brashspending decisions and so we patientlyawait the study’s results, albeit with adose of skepticism, and an eye to theforeseeable impacts.A fixed link would surely trigger a

building boom in Gibsons and Sechelt,making the Sunshine Coast even more ofa bedroom community than it already is.A new crop of commuters would join thealready existing ones who’ve mastered theart of the slow zipper merge on the Lions

Gate Bridge. But the province didn’tmention anything about the costs andbenefits of building more lanes or a newLions Gate to accommodate the SunshineCoast’s sprawl.Tempting as a newer, wider bridge

might be, let’s remember there is about300 metres between the end of the StanleyPark causeway and the first traffic light onWest Georgia Street. And there’s anotherone about 300 metres beyond, and so on.Even with a mythical four-or-more-laneLions Gate, we suspect traffic would backup in much the same way it does now.The congestion we endure and

expensive infrastructure we must fund arethe unavoidable consequences of buildinga city across rivers and mountains as wehave over the last 100 years.You’d think we’d have learned our

lesson by now.

CO2, it inevitably leads toheat trapping. That’s justphysics – there is no roomfor “debate.” The view thathuman activity is driving asteady change in climate isendorsed by such “yo-yo”scientific organizationsas NASA, The AmericanChemical Society, theAAAS, The National

Academy of Science andthe WHO.

Scientists work bysearching for flaws in thework of others, and tryingto disprove hypothesesin order to uncover thetruth. Healthy skepticismis a job requirement for ascientist. So when all of theworld’s scientists actually

agree on something youshould damn well sit upand pay attention insteadof pretending that youknow better, and blusteringabout media personalities,and head-in-the-sandpolitics.Ebben Floodvia comments section atnsnews.com

Dear Editor:We are in a long election

process and it has given metime to think about the factthat our MPs want us to paythem $150,000 minimumper year to vote according totheir leader’s wishes.

It should be mandatoryfor candidates to appear atall-candidates meetings sothat we can get somethingother than talking pointsonce every four years. I don’twant to hear a preparedspeech. I want to hear adiscussion about issues thatmatter to Canadians.

I think we should get a bitof a test drive before we sendour representative to Ottawa.Elizabeth HayleyNorth Vancouver

Canada can do more to aid in refugee crisisDear Editor:

I am writing toyou about the horrifichumanitarian crisisunfolding in Europe.

In April of 1939 whenI was nine, my elderbrother and I stood ona platform in Frankfurtstation and said goodbyeto our parents. We werefleeing Nazi Germany. Ourlives were saved by theKindertransport programand the willingness of theUnite Kingdom to let usenter the country. The

reason for our flight wasbecause we were Jewish.

Our parents were not solucky. They left for Cubaon the last ship to leaveEurope, the St. Louis, buton arrival in Havana the1,000 Jewish refugees onboard were denied entry.The ship remained in theharbour for two weeksduring which time Hitler’sarmy invaded France andthe Netherlands. All pleasfor sanctuary were denied,including by the Canadiangovernment. The ship had

to return to Europe whereimmediate deportmentto concentration campsloomed as a reality. Ifit had not been for thesponsorship by a Quakerfamily in the U.K., theytoo, would have beenkilled.

The picture is somewhatdifferent now, but theprinciple remains thesame. Around two millionpeople from Syria andother countries are fleeingfor their lives. They arebeing held in camps under

horrendous circumstancesand all but Germany andSweden are extendingmeaningful help.

I am sure you canunderstand that I amappalled by the way therefugee problem is beinghandled across Europe,and would call on Canadato act as a beacon ofdecency as the U.K. didin the past. The situationsthat some are trying toescape are so desperatethat they are willing to puttheir lives into the hands

of callous criminal people-smuggling gangs, resultingin the tragic consequencesthat we are seeing. Despitethe scaremongering ofsome, I am sure that theactual cost to Canada oftaking more humanitarianaction is relatively small,particularly when humanlives are at risk.

I understand and agreewith the importance of

vetting immigrants beforeadmittance to Canada. Itshould not impede action.

Of course, there willbe opposition from somesections of society toadmitting more refugees asthere was in 1939, but theargument for saving humanlives needs to be madestrongly and cogently.Renate GriffithsWest Vancouver

Dear Editor:On my way home from

work on Friday, Sept. 11I stopped to buy a fewnecessities at Walmart. Ijoined the express queueand noticed the ladyimmediately in front ofme was purchasing asuitcase, which made mewonder where she was

travelling to. She paid forher purchases and movedaside. My purchases werethen scanned and as Iinserted my credit cardinto the machine, a voicefrom behind me said, “I’llget that.” I turned aroundand the woman with thesuitcase, whom I now referto as an angel disguised

as an attractive youngwoman, handed the cashiercash for my purchases.I was absolutely dumbfounded, and once I hadpicked my jaw up off thefloor, all I could do wasstutter “Thank you, blessyou, thank you!”

The smiling cashiergently told me to remove

my card and this angel indisguise, this completestranger, paid for mygroceries.

I will never forgetyour kindness to an olderwoman, and I hope thatone day I will be able topay this generosity forward.Tilly BarnesNorth Vancouver

North Shore Rescuesays it’s unlikely aWhite Rock man whodisappeared on theHowe Sound Crest Trailcould have survivedmore than 10 days in thewilderness.

“It’s pretty remote.We’ve had 10 daysnow. We’ve had near-

freezing temperaturesat that altitude most ofthose nights and we’vehad several rainy daysincluding a significantstorm over the weekend,”said Doug Pope, NorthShore Rescue searchmanager. “When it’s oneto two degrees (Celsius)and wet, it can causehypothermia quite quickly.

For someone that’s notwell prepared … with noextra clothing, no shelterand no real outdoorexperience, it would bedifficult for someone tosurvive 10 days at this timeof the year up there.”

Neville Jewell, 52,parked his vehicle in theCypress Mountain parkinglot on Saturday, Sept. 12and headed for the Lions.Around 2 p.m. he textedhis girlfriend to say he hadmade it to the west Lionand that it had been astrenuous hike.

“That’s the lastanyone’s heard from him,”said Pope said.

Cypress staff noticed hisvehicle had been seeminglyabandoned on Sunday andasked West Vancouverpolice to investigate.

Forensic investigationof Jewell’s cellphone dataindicates he likely got lostsomewhere east of theridgeline that leads to theLions and wound up in thesteep terrain of the SistersCreek drainage, whichflows into the Capilanowatershed.

North Shore Rescue,joined by volunteersfrom search and rescueoutfits from Lions Bay,Coquitlam, Surrey,Maple Ridge and Missionplanned to stay in thearea until 4 p.m. Tuesdaybefore deciding whether tocontinue the search.

The sad case under-scores the importance ofbackcountry prepared-ness, which the team triesto raise awareness of with

North Vancouverdesigners Kat and JoshWalker don’t have tolook very hard to findinspiration.

The Australian nativeswho’ve made their homeon the North Shore and arecurrently living, workingand raising their youngfamily here, continually findthemselves reflecting theirbeloved surroundings intheir eclectic works.

“We’re very inspired bythe things around us. Joshand I have two young sonsso it’s about family, andit’s also about West Coastdesign. . . . We just areabsolutely enamoured withVancouver,” says Kat.

The creative couple arethe brains behind ReclaimedPrint Co, a new companylaunched last year that offersa diverse range of artworksand home decor productsprinted on locally sourced

and sustainable wood.One of their design

focuses is the LowerMainland and that collectionof images features works like“Raincouver” and “LiquidSunshine,” as well as othersinspired by the GrouseMountain lumberjacks andStanley Park totem poles.

“It’s all part of us justshowing how much we lovethis city,” says Kat.

Reclaimed Print Co isa featured exhibitor at thisweek’s Interior Design ShowWest (IDSwest), describedby organizers as WesternCanada’s annual premiereresidential design show.

Examples of other NorthShore-based exhibitors atthis year’s IDSwest, runningThursday to Sunday,include: Brent Comber, anaward-winning designerfocused on creating sculptedobjects, functional piecesand designed environments(Info: brentcomber.com); andPot Incorporated, which

Get to the root of recent blowdowns

Today is the fifth annualNational Tree Day inCanada, which coincideswith National ForestWeek.

If you weren’t aware ofNational Tree Day, you arenot alone. We often take ourrich heritage of trees andlush forest cover for granted,which is why Tree Canada(treecanada.ca), encouragesCanadians to celebrate treeseach year.

The recent storm weatherevent has refreshed in ourminds that urban treesare under considerablestress from insects, disease,drought, wind storms andvandals. It is interesting to

note that recent commentsin the media describing thesummer “sail effect” as amajor cause of blowdownsacross our region does notaccurately describe whyso many trees blew downduring our late summerstorm. If you investigatea little closer, the primarycause of many of those treeblowdowns was damage tothe tree’s root system relatedto nearby construction, poorsoil preparation or incorrecttree selection. For example,the trees that blew downalong the Trans CanadaHighway were recentlyaffected by widening of thehighway, which stripped theadjoining tree cover from theecosystem and construction-damaged root systems wereunable to support those treesduring the windstorm.

Similar causes can befound for many other treesacross our region that blewdown during the storm.Many of the affected treeswere planted in shallow soils,which limited rooting depthand width. And many of

the wind-affected trees wereplanted in tight spaces inroad medians or sandwichedbetween a sidewalk and aroad leaving little room forlateral rooting. The sail effectwas a contributing factor butnot the primary problem.

Trees do not blow downbecause they are too tallor big; trees blow downbecause of other factors thatcontribute to destabilization.For example, choosing aconiferous tree that has awide growing but shallowroot system and plantingit on shallow soils willultimately lead to failureduring strong wind storms.

Deciduous trees withtheir comparatively deeperroot systems would be abetter choice to plant inshallow soils. Incorrect soilpreparation is another causeof tree failure because if thetree cannot grow wide anddeep into the surroundingsoil, the tree will not producea robust root system to holditself up during extremeweather events. Beyondincorrect pruning practisessuch as tree topping,construction damage causedto a tree’s root system isthe most common reasonfor tree failure during windstorms. Digging into atree’s root system duringconstruction cuts off partsof the root system thereby

weakening the tree in future.And construction damageinflicted upon roots allowssoil-borne pathogens to enterthe wounded roots causingdisease, which weakens thetree. Other causes such assoil compaction on the rootzone and trunk damagecaused by people andmachines also contribute totree decline and failure.

A recent spatiallycontinuous mapping ofworldwide tree densitypublished onNature.comrevealed that there areapproximately three trilliontrees on planet Earth. Whilethat seems like a lot of trees,researchers also estimate thatmore than 15 billion treesare cut down worldwideeach year, and the number oftrees on the Earth has beenreduced by approximately46 per cent since the start ofhuman civilization.

Canada ranks numbertwo in the world, behindRussia, as one of the biggesttree cutting nations withapproximately 2.48 millionhectares of gross forest coverloss between 2012 and2014. Canadians do replanta large number of trees, forinstance, Tree Canada hasplanted 80 million trees overthe past decade. And thosenumbers do not includethe millions of trees plantedby forestry companies ormunicipal tree planting inour cities. However, tree

planting from all sourcesincluding commercialreforestation do not comeclose to the number ofhectares of gross forest coverlost to logging, mining andland development.

I have spoken beforeabout the many scientificallyproven benefits of growingtrees including managingstorm water runoff, coolingour heat-sink cities,providing a home to manyforms of life and improvingproperty value. If those factsare not enough motivationfor anyone to plant andprotect trees, consider thefollowing. A study publishedonNature.com foundthat, “People who live inneighborhoods with a higherdensity of trees on theirstreets report significantlyhigher health perception.”And, “Having 10 more treesin a city block, on average,improves health perceptionin ways comparable to anincrease in annual personalincome of $10,000 ormoving to a neighborhoodwith $10,000 higher medianincome or being seven yearsyounger.” So if you want tobreathe clean air and helpcare for Mother Earth, planta tree in your garden and feelhealthier and younger.Todd Major is a journeymanhorticulturist, garden designerand builder, teacher andorganic [email protected]

the idea for the companywas born. “We love theesthetic of it,” she says.

Interested in doingsomething that wassustainable, they uselocally sourced wood frommills, most of which iscoming from Alberta. Inaddition, all of their woodis handcut. “It was aboutcreating something thatwas handmade as well asindustrial. . . . So we figuredthe handcut wood wouldactually give it a morehomemade appeal,” shesays.

In addition to theirVancouver-focused designs,other collections includeworks featuring animals,like deer and bears, as wellas robots. “Those ones arereally juxtapositioned to thewood. People love thembecause they’re just so brightand colourful and playful,”says Kat.

Photographic workshave been contributed byher father, photographerGraham Fletcher, also aNorth Vancouver resident.“He did a whole collectioncalled the ShipyardCollection, which has been abig one for us,” says Kat.

“He travels a lot as partof his work so he has got awhole bunch more (photos)to come. We’re actually

slowly going to be launchinghis as limited editionsbecause there are a numberof people now that arewanting more of his work sowe’re going to be developingthat line a lot,” she adds.

Reclaimed Print Co’sdesigns are available in avariety of wooden canvassizes (as well as stainoptions) and can be printedas coasters. Communitymembers can also uploadtheir own photos via thecompany website to beprinted, again in a varietyof sizes. A new offeringin response to customerdemand is custom artworkof people’s pets. Callingit Pup Art, consumers areencouraged to send thempictures of their furry friendsto be printed in the AndyWarhol pop art style.

“I went into this fairlyblindly so every day is alearning experience forus. But I would have tosay I am so impressedwith the amount of peoplethat really do care about asustainable product and theywant something creative.We’ve had such a beautifulreception (from) the marketcommunity but also (from)retail. Shops have been sokind to us and open to newdesign and new people,because we’re so new to thisindustry at all. And, peoplehave been so open to us and

free with their knowledgeand giving us advice andhelp along the way, so it’sbeen really awesome,” saysKat.

They’re avid vendorsat local markets, includingNorth Shore Green

Markets’ weekly ShipyardsNight Market, which hasbeen running Fridays allspring and summer andis capping off its currentseason this Friday at NorthVancouver’s Shipyard Plaza.

They’re also planning to

be at the Vancouver Home+ Design Show, Oct. 22-25,and Circle Craft, Nov. 11-15, both at the VancouverConvention Centre West,as well as Make It, Dec.3-6 at the PNE Forumamong others. Reclaimed

PUBLIC AUCTION

AUCTION: SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 27, AT 2:00 PMVIEW FROM 1:00 PM



Inexpensive wine glassescan become attractivecandlelight features onyour next dinner partytable with the use ofvellum paper and tealights.

This idea is not a newone but it’s a good one andreally adds pizazz to yourtable setting.

Vellum paper is sold incraft stores in 8.5- by 11-inch sheets. There is a wideselection of patterns andcolours to choose from tomatch many different tabledecors.

Pick up three to fivesheets of these vellumpapers and a small bag oftea lights at the craft store.

You can either use theregular flame tea light forthis idea or the battery-operated version. Your localdollar store should carryinexpensive wine glassesthat you can also use forthis idea.

Download a shadepattern from the Internet.These patterns are offeredon many different websitesso you should not have anyproblem finding a template.I used Save-on-crafts.com fortheir template. It was easyto download and print onmy home computer.

Once you havedownloaded and printedoff the shade template, cutthe pattern out with scissorsand lay it on the vellumsheet. Trace the patternonto the vellum sheet andcut out the shade.

Wrap the shade aroundthe wine glass and secure itwith a piece of scotch tape.Place your tea light insidethe wine glass.

Alternate the lampsalong the centre of yourrectangular dining table.

Another cute idea withinexpensive wine glassesis to dip the bottom stem

into coloured or black chalkpaint. Let the base dry andwrite each guest’s namein chalk on the wine glass.Once the evening is doneyou can wipe the guest’sname off the chalk bottomand reuse the wine glass foranother evening.

Note: In order for thechalk paint to dry evenly,set the wine glass on a pieceof parchment or wax paperfor 15 to 20 minutes andthen move it to an unusedspace on the paper. Thiswill allow the paint toadhere properly withoutleaving paint edges. Inaddition, these glasses willnot be dishwasher-safe.

Hand wash the gobletand wipe the chalk portionwith a damp cloth.

Non-traditional sports gaining steam

Kathy LynnParentingToday

OK, you’re all organizedfor back to school.

Morning schedules arein place, homework planssettled and after-schoolcare is working well. But,there is something else.

Besides school, thekids (and you!) needto get active. For some

of our kids, the regularactivities are simply boring.So what else is there?ParticipACTION hascome up with some funideas.

Bike polo, underwaterrugby and axe throwingcan be considereddefinitely different.

Unconventional or weirdsports are picking upsteam in Canada. Bycombining favouriteelements of “traditional”sports to create new sports,Canadians are finding newand unique ways to getactive. Whether weird ortraditional, participating insport of any kind is a greatway to ensure that we meetour daily physical activityrequirements and breakup our bouts of sedentarybehaviour.

According toresearch conductedby ParticipACTION,Canadian adults spend anaverage of 9.5 hours perday being sedentary, whileCanadian children andyouth (ages 5-17) spendan average of 8.5 hours perday.

A recent poll revealedthat 51 per cent of BritishColumbians would trya weird sport, but only19 per cent have triedone. In addition B.C. isthe second most willingprovince when it comes totrying a weird sport. Sportis a powerful reflectionof Canadian culture, and

there are plenty of weirdand wonderful new sportsavailable to us, right inour own communities. Solet’s take a look at somesuggestions.

For paddleboard yogayou simply need a boardand the skill level variesfrom those who practiseon the shore to those whopractise on the ocean.If you like the water, trysome skim boarding.You’ll need the board,wetsuit and life jackets butthey’re all available forrent. Or you can take upwindsurfing. For this it’ssuggested you take a lessonbefore giving it a shot.Life jacket, wetsuit andkiteboard are needed.

On Grouse Mountainany skill level canparticipate in disc golf. Just

rent the discs and give ita try. Experienced skiersand boarders can taketheir action to a higherlevel with heli-skiing wherea helicopter flies you upto otherwise inaccessiblepeaks.

For a unique takeon running, considerheadlamp trail runningon any of the many B.C.trails. The final suggestionis roller derby. For thisyou need protective gearincluding helmet androller skates. Generally thisinvolves tryouts to join theleague.

These are just a fewideas. And certainly youdon’t want to ignore allthe regular activities. Butwhen I looked at this list I

Is your child happy at school?If your child is showing signs of being unhappy at school,weak core learning skills may be the problem.

Kidding AroundAdvertisement

“Left untreated,or incorrectly treated,a child with weak corelearning skills candevelop aversions toreading and learningthat follow them into

adulthood. ”

■ General AcademicWeakness

■ Dyslexia■ Autism

(Ministry Funded)

■ ADHD■ CAPD

Andrea Van Ryn, director at Reading& Learning PATHWAYS, knowsstruggling kids. She will tell you thatthe core learning skills of:• Memory• Attention• Processing and• Sequencingmust be strong for learning to beeasy.

She knows that children who haven’tdeveloped strong core learningskills before they start school feelincreasingly uncomfortable withtheir school experience and learningsuffers. Most importantly, learning toread – the gateway to all learning –becomes more and more difficult.

For example, eight year old twins Benand Emma entered Grade 1 filled withenthusiasm. By Grade 3, it was clearEmma was thriving while Ben wasnot. He began to act out at school,resist reading and homework took far

too long. Ben attended the school’slearning center and was tutored twicea week at home. By the end of Grade3 he told his mother he hated school.

Ben’s parents took him to PATHWAYSand discovered Ben was very brightbut was suffering the effects ofseveral weak core learning skills.After one month at PATHWAYS, Ben’smother saw a dramatic change inher son. After six months, Ben hadcaught up to his twin in reading andwas happy to go to school.

Andrea creates individualizedlearning plans that quickly andpermanently develop skills essentialfor academic success. “Seeing a childchange from an unhappy, strugglinglearner to an eager learner is beyondgratifying,” beams Andrea.

“Children not only become betterlearners, their confidence and socialskills blossom.”

“It is so simple to discover why a

child is struggling and equally simpleto help them,” says Andrea as shepassionately explains how she andher team of specialized teachersare “in the business of changingchildren’s lives”.

Andrea explains that, in much thesame way as athletes build strongmuscles by regular exercise atthe gym, core learning must bedeveloped through daily exercise.Students work 1 hour a day 5 days aweek for an average of 4–6 months.

The programs used at PATHWAYSwere designed by internationallyacclaimed scientists and are usedworld-wide.

PATHWAYS can assess your child andprovide you with critical informationon your child’s learning profile.The results of the assessment willhelp you decide if learning skillsdevelopment is the solution for yourchild. The assessment is $175, andis refunded when your child enrollsat PATHWAYS. Book an assessmenttoday (778) 245-3669.www.RLPathways.com

Young Artist of theWeek

Art teacher: Sarah PlaceFavourite art: painting/surrealismFavourite artists: Adam Lupton and BanksyHer teacher writes: Setareh is a naturally gifted artist, rarely seeking instruction; sheprefers to work independently, learning frommistakes and building confidence. Lately,she’s focused on portraits, which reflect emotions she’s exploring. Setareh is a braveartist who is willing to take risks with her artwork. Her artistic choices are instinctive,distinct and sophisticated.

Young Artists of theWeek are selected fromNorth Shore schools by Artists for Kids fordisplaying exceptional ability in their classroom artwork. For details, visit the websiteartists4kids.com. PHOTO CINDY GOODMAN

realized that the trick is toexplore different optionsfor you and your kids andyou will be active andhappy.

It’s so easy to get stuckin an activity rut andsimply go through themotions. Of course, ifyou have an activity youlove, then continue. Butlet the kids scroll throughdifferent websites and seewhat grabs their attention.

When considering theextracurricular activities forour kids, it’s also importantto think about thedifference between sportsand activity or play.

When your child joins

a sports team there area lot of advantages. Hewill learn how to workin a team, how to followinstructions and he willdevelop sport specificskills. He will also learnhow to be a graciouswinner and loser.

With activity or play, hecan set the pace himself.For example, if he’splaying hockey he followsthe rules, plays a particularposition and plays whenthe coach sends him onthe ice. That’s a sport. Ifhe is skating on a pondwith some buddies he candecide when, how andwhere he will skate. He isin charge of the activityand sets the rules he wants

to follow. That is play.And both are important

for kids. With play theylearn to problem-solve,make decisions, andbecome creative.

Kids who have playthey love and a sport theyalso enjoy are developinga wide range of skills. Sowhether you go traditionalor try some of theseweirder activities, get upand get moving.

he notes.Curtis spent much of

this season in the middle ofthe pack and, with one raceweekend left in October,expects to finish thirdoverall.

“To get into second orfirst place I think I’d have tocheat a little bit with my carand I’m not allowed to so Iwon’t,” he says, laughing.

Originally from SouthAfrica, Curtis spent sometime with rally racing inhis younger days, and

considered revisiting it herein B.C., but couldn’t affordto do both rally and roadracing, so chose the latter.

The main differencebetween the two types ofdriving is car control.

In rallying the car is formost of the time out ofcontrol because the driverwants to be able to switch itto go in whichever directionhe or she needs it to go,explains Curtis.

“In my day it was aroad you’d never seen in

your life before,” he adds.Drivers were given a drawingfrom race organizers anda navigator read out to thedriver where they weregoing. “So you kept the carvery much unbalanced thewhole time.”

In road racing the caris very balanced. All thebraking is done in a straightline.

“You’re keeping your caras controlled as possible,” henotes.

The more controlled

and adept a driver can be inkeeping turns neat, the fasterthe car can go on a roadcourse. When practising fora race, Curtis says he mainlyfocuses on running the lines.

“The ‘lines’ are theentrance, the apex, and theexit of the corner. And ifyou get those really downpat you can gain a lot onsomebody else who is allover the place.”

During the off-season,

Local racer finding funon road course

North Vancouver resident Malcolm Curtis is a millwright by trade and works at both a sawmill and a steelmill. He isalso an avid motorsports fan and races in a club-level series at Mission Raceway. PHOTOS SUPPLIED DAN KELLY

MalcolmCurtis admits hehas been off the track a fewtimes.

He has also had a fewaccidents, but they weren’this fault. He was hit by otherdrivers.

“My car got beaten uplast year a little bit,” henotes, saying of the otherdrivers: “They were havingtheir own race and theyweren’t paying attention anddidn’t break properly.”

It’s all par for the course,though.

Curtis, a NorthVancouver resident andmillwright by trade, is aregular participant in the Pro3 series, a spec series runby Sports Car Club of B.C.Racers in this series navigatea 1.2-mile, nine-turn roadcourse at Mission RacewayPark during a season thatruns fromMay to Octoberwith eight weekend eventsfeaturing three races at eachevent.

“On ovals they only turnleft. We turn left and right,”explains Curtis of the roadcourse.

A spec series is a seriesthat features cars with similarspecifications, and driversare only allowed to modifythe same certain elementsof their cars. For this series,drivers can do modificationsto the suspension, brakes,tires, and a few other things.For example, they fix thesuspension so they can lowerthe ride height of the car toget better control around

corners since lowering thecar lowers the centre ofgravity.

Curtis drives a modified1987 BMW 325i.

“My car being a sedanthey call us the tin tops,” hesays.

The Beemer is fittedwith plenty of safety gear,including a full roll cage, anFIA-certified race bucketseat, a five-point harness,and fire extinguisher. Driverswear crash helmets witha head-and-neck restraintdevice.

“The cars are verysafe,” says Curtis, who is amember of a four-persongroup called Red ZoneRacing. Drivers try to avoidcontact on the track, but it’sinevitable, he adds.

This is club-level racing,so there are no sponsorsand no prize money. Allinvestment in the sport fallson the drivers, and Curtisadmits: “It’s just a bigmoney pit.”

But he loves it.“I call it my addiction,” See Off-season page 37

Careerpath leads toautomechanics

A career in the autoindustry can be bothrewarding and challenging.FILE PHOTO DREAMSTIME

[email protected]

Onemorning when theywere driving to schooltogether, Josh Leenstradecided to count howmany cars his dad hasowned so far.

On that day the countwas already well into the40s.

Fast forward a few years,and it’s not surprising thatLeenstra shares his dad’sinterest in old cars andtrucks, and that he nowworks as a service technicianat a Squamish Forddealership.

What is surprising isthat Leenstra, who grewup in Lynn Valley, wasn’ttoo interested in takingautomotive shop class asa teen at West Vancouversecondary.

“Originally I was actuallymore interested in the woodshop,” he notes.

Then his dad bought a1951 GMC pickup.

“I wanted to learn howto restore it with him, soI thought the best placeto get some sort of basicknowledge would be in theautomotive shop,” saysLeenstra, who was in Grade

10 at the time.Although he continued

taking the automotive classthroughout high school, acareer in the automotiveindustry was not on hisradar. His dad owns aconstruction company andhe was set to follow in hisfootsteps.

But class was fun andunlike any of the other oneshe was taking. Leenstra saysthe curriculum was about80 per cent hands-on and20 per cent from books.

“You were alwayslearning something newand it wasn’t painstaking tolearn,” he explains. “It was

something I really enjoyed.”It helped that he had a

great teacher, Victor Lo.“I would not be where

I am without him soI definitely owe him athanks,” says Leenstra,noting Lo was supportivebut challenged him to dohis best and keep going evenwhen the work was hard.

In Grade 12, Leenstrainstalled winter tires foranother teacher at Rockridgesecondary who hadconnections to the SubaruRally Team of Canada andhelped him get a position asan apprentice with the team.He worked with them fora year but was sidelined bya car accident in which heinjured his back and leg.

But having a real jobin the industry served asinspiration and Leenstradecided to pursue it as acareer.

He attended a generalmechanics program at BCITand finished his first year.For the program, studentscomplete one year of schoolthen a certain number ofwork hours as an apprenticebefore they return for asecond year. Leenstra sayshe has accumulated enoughhours, but doesn’t have the

time to return to schoolright now.

And he is enjoying hisjob.

“I love it,” says Leenstra.“I wake up in the morningand I’m excited to go towork.”

But automotive repair iscomplicated these days.

“There are so manyelectronics and computer-run systems on the vehiclesnow,” explains Leenstra,adding sometimes he getscases in which he hasto just plug the car intothe computer and do are-program. Electricalproblems can be simple todiagnose, such as finding adead module, or they can bemore complicated, such asfinding a pinched wire in thewiring harness.

“Just this morning I hadthe entire interior out of atruck trying to find a brokenwire,” says Leenstra.

But finding the solutionto an automotive mysteryis what Leenstra enjoysmost about being a servicetechnician. He especiallyenjoys fixing a problem aftera car owner has already beento two or three differentrepair shops and he’s theone who figures it out.

The look on their face andthe relief in their voice isrewarding.

“That’s what I love,”notes Leenstra, who says heplans to continue workingin auto mechanics until he’sreplaced by a robot.

And while Leenstrarecommends a career in thetrade, he admits it might notbe for everyone.

“Anybody can do it.Whether they’re good at it?That’s another story,” henotes with a laugh.

Tell us about your classic car

Jennifer Orum takes her 1970 MGB roadster to car shows across North America, coveringabout 6,000 miles a year. PHOTOMIKEWAKEFIELD

[email protected]

Jennifer Orum has ownedher 1970 MGB roadsterfor about 12 years.

This isn’t the first Britishcar she has owned, but it isher first collector’s car. TheWest Vancouver residentwasn’t always a car fanatic,but she did notice cars whenshe was younger. She justcouldn’t afford them. Herinterest in vintage cars hasgrown over the years, andshe is now a member of theMG Jaguar Club, and was aco-organizer for the group’sAugust show at WaterfrontPark.

Getting a classic car isone thing, notes Orum. Lotsof people have classic cars,but along with ownershipcomes the opportunity tobe involved in car clubsand car events, she says,adding: “That’s equally asimportant as the car itself.”

Orum made sureshe bought a car thatwas in excellent shapeso she wouldn’t have toworry about too muchmaintenance.

But if you enter carshows, which she has,you have to put effort intokeeping the car lookinggood, she explains. Havingan excellent mechanic,which she says she does,helps. Orum’s MGB is now

a “driver,” and travels about6,000 miles a year, usuallyto car shows. But it’s off theroad from about Novemberuntil March because of theweather. However, the littlered roadster has driven inbad weather and it held upfine.

“These cars were built todrive,” says Orum.

It’s a very reliable car,but it’s important to put an

effort into keeping it in goodshape, she notes

Although she doesn’tusually do repairs herself,she does carry spare engineparts in the “boot” (trunk)when she travels in case sheneeds a replacement andis stopped somewhere thatdoesn’t service British cars.

However, “theseengines are pretty simple,”she notes. There are no

computers onboard,so repairs are not ascomplicated as they cansometimes be on newercars.

Orum says roadsters likehers represent a bygone erawhen cars sported uniquedesign.

“These were iconic carsfrom back then. They werejust part of a lifestyle,” shesays.

“Big Enough to Know...Small Enough to Care”

Off-season full ofmaintenance

Racingretrospective inphotosKlemantaski, by PaulParker, Motorbooks, 272pages, $80.

TERRY PETERScontributing writer

In an era when carracing was done withopen tops and nohelmets it wasn’t just thedrivers who were takingrisks.

With no telephotolenses available the onlyway for a photographer toget closer to the action wasto be standing at the veryedge of the track.

Louis Klemantaskiwas born in 1912 anddiscovered a love of motor

racing as a young man,but a motorcycle crashand the resulting ankleinjury sidelined him fromracing. As a professionalphotographer he stayed incontact with the sport heloved and his work beganto appear in the motoringpress.

As his techniqueimproved he gained moreattention for his work and

captured many iconicimages of early racinghistory well into the1960s, documenting theevolving world of motorsports. Motor racinghistorian and author PaulParker has delved intoKlemantaski’s archivesto select more than 300images that cover hiscareer and what is widelyconsidered to be thegolden era of racing.

Parker’s inclusion ofdetailed information withthe photographs providesa better understandingof not just what is in theimage but also about thecars and the conditions inwhich they raced.

Curtis and his fellow Red Zone Racingdrivers examine footage of their races andtinker with their cars.

“The main thing we do during the off-season is tear our cars apart and rebuildthem and fix them up,” says Curtis.

Basic maintenance is ongoing, and Curtissays he goes through about a set and a halfof tires each season. Brake pads are changedregularly, rotors too, and Curtis does an oilchange after each race weekend because theengine is running at super high rpm for six20-minute sessions per weekend.

“That engine is pretty much screamingthe whole time,” says Curtis. “I just feelsorry for it,” he adds with a laugh.

At 54, Curtis has no plans to slow down.One of the drivers in the series is 82, so he’sgot a while to go yet before he even considersretiring, and he has the full support of hisfamily, which includes his wife and twodaughters, all of whom regularly attend hisraces. His wife helps with his schedule and isa valued member of his team, notes Curtis.

Although both of his kids love motorsports, neither is interested in becominga driver, says Curtis. But he is currentlymentoring his 14-year-old granddaughter,who has plans to race. He looks forward to aday when they might race together.

When asked if he would let her win, heanswers quickly: “Sure I would, of course,why not?”

The question is: would she do the same?

Creatinga lifeline forUgandanchildren

MARTHAPERKINSContributing writer

Seven years ago,Frank Gish was deeplymoved by a story in theVancouver Sun about ayoung woman who couldno longer blithely walkby a group of abandonedchildren in the streets ofKampala.

Just as Carli Travers, asocial work graduate fromVancouver, was compelledto do something to helpthese children, Gish knewhe too could not stand idlyby.

“I think sometimesyou’re just ready forsomething,” Gish says ofwhy this story more thanall the others he’d read,resonated so strongly. “Itwas Carli’s courage andcompassion that jumpedout at me. I needed to findout more about her.”

Travers’ email was inthe story and so he wroteher a note, asking how tomake a donation.

The email exchangecontinued and evolved intoa friendship. A few yearsago, Gish and his wife,Joanna Mereu, who liveon Bowen Island, travelledto the Ugandan home thatTravers’ has created forabandoned children andgot a sense of the chaosthat is her everyday life.

As the legal guardianof 16 children and motherto five sons of her own,there is constant chaos andactivity even before youadd in the five dogs, threecats and a monkey.

“You just kind of rollwith it,” says Gish.

Travers and herhusband RobertBirungi will be makinga presentation in NorthVancouver the evening ofOct. 8.

Gish encourages peopleto hear Travers’ story,which she’s recounted in abook called And Then Shewas Free, so they know thatthere is so much we all cando.

“She’s given children,with no chance at all,security. They’re safe, theydon’t have to steal to eat,they have a chance to getan education. Just come

out and hear the story andbe inspired. What I’velearned is we don’t haveto be a Carli to make adifference. There are somethings you can do to help

her. She needs us.“If we all do something,

we’ll make a difference.”To learn more about

the community thatTravers has created, go to

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to EXCEPTIONAL CUISINE

LargemenuhasmuchtoofferHave you ever noticedthe bright shimmer thatemanates frommanydishes in local Chinesecuisine?

It’s like the food has beencooked with a view to itsinclusion in a photoshoot; itis glistening, colourful, andstrikingly bright.

This can be achieved,in part, through the use ofcornstarch. In many Chineseculinary traditions, andespecially in North Americanrestaurant extensions ofthose traditions (most oftenin those that self-identifyas Cantonese, Szechaun orboth), a bowl of cornstarchslurry (cornstarch dissolvedin water) is kept on hand tofinish the dishes. The slurryis added near completionof cooking, capturingflavoursome pan drippingsin its suspension, thickeningany cooking liquids presentand, applied properly, evenlycoating ingredients with asignature shine.

This approach canwork out magically, but isalso fraught with hazards.For me, if the cornstarchthickening process hasn’tbeen judicious, the resulting

CHEESEWHIZZES Fresh St. Market’s Jim Liston and Mark McCardy were busy at the grill Saturday for thestore’s third annual Grilled Cheese Competition. The event raised money for the JGL Foundation for Cerebral Palsy.PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH

food suffers from anunappealing glueyness thatcan be cloyingly viscous onthe palate. It seems a bigrisk to take, especially whenthe food is typically so fullof complex and wonderfulflavours, hallmarks of somuch Chinese cuisine. Sowhy do it?

A new theory on thisconvention emerged for meout of a recent visit to CoralCourt Szechuan Cuisine, theenduring North Shore fixturethat for many years livedon lower Lonsdale Avenue,but moved in 2012 downthe 100-block of SecondStreet East. My theoryemerged when I consideredmy ordering habits here andat our other local Chinese

restaurants, which, as I haveremarked on these pagesbefore, tend to boast long,ambitious menus, somepeaking at more than 100dishes.

One of the things Ienjoy most about eating ata Chinese restaurant is thewide variety of flavours I canexperience in a single sitting.My visit to Coral Court,accompanied by my wife DJ,supported this indulgenceas we tucked into no lessthan eight dishes betweenus, all of which arrived at thetable, piping hot and lovelyto behold, within minutesof each other. Ordering likethis is not an uncommonpractice, I would suggest, asother tables were similarly

laden with myriad plates, andthe steady stream of takeoutorders leaving the premisesall seemed to containnumerous containers.

The diverse mealprompted me to ask myselfif, outside the contextof eating a multi-coursetaster menu, I have everordered that many dishesin a restaurant that servesEuropean-influenced food.I could not recall such anoccasion. The tendency insuch restaurants seems to beto order an appetizer, a maincourse, and possibly dessert.The result of this tried andtrue ordering formula isthat kitchens that followEuropean traditions arerarely required to produce

untold numbers of dishes foreach table in the restaurantat once. Practices like theslow reduction of a sauceover low heat, for instance,are afforded only with time.When, however, you’repreparing many dishes all atonce, selected from a hugemenu, for every single tablein your restaurant, time islimited. You need a quickand efficient method to bindthe flavours of your dishesand send them on theirmerry way to your room fullof eager diners.

Pork presents a pretty good resumé

Angela ShellardRomancing the Stove

Reasonably priced, lean,calorie-wise and versatile,that’s a pretty impressiveresumé for a piece ofmeat.

Pork tenderloin is all ofthat and more. The slicedmeat absorbs whatevermarinade or sauce youchoose and makes for an

impressive presentation whenarranged over potatoes, riceor noodles. One cardinalrule when preparingtenderloin: Don’t overcookit. The meat should still bea delicate pink in the centre.Contrary to some belief,pork is completely safe to eat

when it is pink. Overcookedtenderloin is as dry as theSahara and totally tasteless.

It may be necessary totrim off the “silverskin” onyour tenderloin. This is thethin layer of connective tissuesurrounding the meat.

PorkMedallions inMushroomMarsala Sauce

2 lbs pork tenderloin(usually about twotenderloins)Kosher salt and freshlyground black pepper3 Tbsp olive oil3 Tbsp butter2medium shallots, finelychopped¾ lb of brown creminimushrooms, sliced1 Tbsp all-purpose flour½ cup dryMarsala1 cup low-sodium chickenbroth3 Tbsp whipping cream¼ cup chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley

Cut the tenderloins into1½-inch thick medallions,then flip each medallion ontoa cut side and press downwith the palm of your handto flatten slightly. Season themeat generously with saltand pepper. Heat the oliveoil and one tablespoon of thebutter in a large sauté panover high heat.

When the butter is meltedand foaming, add half ofthe meat and sear untilnicely browned, two to threeminutes. Flip the medallionsover and cook the othersides until well browned andslightly firm to the touch,about another two minutes.Transfer to a plate andrepeat with the remainingpork.

Melt the remaining twotablespoons of butter in thepan. Add the shallots and a

pinch of salt and sauté forabout 30 seconds, using awooden spoon to scrape upany browned bits from thebottom of the pan.

Add the mushroomsand sauté until all ofthe mushroom liquidhas evaporated and themushrooms are golden,about three minutes. Seasonthe mushrooms with a bitof salt and pepper, sprinklewith the flour, then add theMarsala to the pan. OncetheMarsala has almostcompletely evaporated, add

the chicken broth and cookuntil sauce is reduced by half,about three minutes. Stir inthe cream and the parsley;return the pork and anyaccumulated juices to thepan and cook, turning themedallions over once, untilmeat is firm to the touch andstill a little pink in the middle(cut into a piece to check),about three or four minutes.Taste sauce and adjustseasoning if desired. Makesfour to six servings.

Maple-Balsamic GlazedPorkMedallions

½ cup puremaple syrup¼ cup balsamic vinegar1 TbspDijonmustard2 lbs pork tenderloin1 Tbsp olive oilKosher salt and freshlyground black pepper

Combine the maple syrupand balsamic vinegar in asmall saucepan; bring to aboil. Cook until reduced totwo-thirds of a cup, aboutthree minutes, stirringfrequently. Remove from

heat and stir in mustard. Cutthe tenderloin into half-inchthick slices; place each piecebetween two sheets of plasticwrap and pound to quarter-inch thickness using a meatmallet or small heavy skillet.

Heat the oil in a largenonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle porkevenly with salt and pepper;cook half the medallionsat a time, sautéing themon each side until goldenbrown. When all medallionsare cooked and resting ona plate, add the vinegarmixture to the pan. Add allthe pork back to the pan andheat until pork is cookedthrough but still slightly pink,turning the medallions tocoat with the sauce. Drizzlesome of the sauce over eachserving.

The best dishes of ourmeal were vegetarian, in theend, with a spicy eggplantdish stealing the show. Spicy,hefty morsels of eggplantwere stir-fried with sliveredcloud ear mushroom andstrips of bell peppers andcarrots, and were covered ina piquant, deeply flavouredsauce.

On rice, this dish wouldlikely be a single diner’s suf-ficiency on its own. Chili andGarlic Spiced Green Beans,a perennial Szechuan favou-

rite, delivered on all fronts aswell. The beans were frieduntil seared on the exteriorbut retained a bit of crunch,while the garlic adopted adeep golden caramelizationthat was nicely complement-ed by a red chili heat.

The house special GingerBeef was tasty, if a touchtough to the bite, with atangy, slightly sweet saucestudded with crispy sliversof celery and carrot. Won-tons with spicy chili garlicsauce featured a generoushalf dozen tightly packeddumplings swimming insoy sauce-infused chili oilwith scallions and workedwell in terms of flavour,

though the oil in whichthey were bathed provedoverwhelming by the end ofthe dish. Tan Tan Noodlesoup was a curious affair;the soup part had evidentlyabsorbed completely intothe noodles, leaving themswollen and glistening witha thick, rich, peanut-heavysauce instead. I enjoyed thenoodles, ultimately, as theywere so nicely seasonedwith peanuts, garlic, ginger,and a host of other complexflavours. Missing the markentirely, in our opinion, wasa dish of Ma Po tofu, a heftyserving of very soft, nearlycustard-like cubes of tofu ina particularly thick, gelati-

nous sauce dominated by theuniquely citrusy, perfumedflavour of the Szechuan pep-percorn. The flavour was re-grettably monotone while thetexture was off-putting. Ourorder of Vegetable ChowMein made very liberal useof celery and was inoffensive,if unremarkable.

Last year the hints werethere for young coachPooya Dourandish thathe and his friends, all intheir mid-20s, would soonbe put in charge of all thefootball teams at WestVancouver secondary.

Coach Shawn Andersontook over the team in direcircumstances in 2010. Hewas named the head coachin August, just a couple ofweeks before the seasonwas about to start, and wasshocked by what he sawat the first practice. Moreprecisely, he was shocked bywhat he didn’t see: players.

“I was told we weregoing to have 20 guys there

so I got all excited,” recallsAnderson. Except thereweren’t 20 senior playersat the practice. There weretwo.

Anderson scrapedtogether a lineup for thefirst few games but after ablowout loss against CarsonGraham, he was left withjust 12 healthy bodies andwas forced to make thedifficult decision to pull theplug on the season.

From that low point,however, the formerHandsworth quarterback– he led the Royals to aprovincial title in 1996 –re-built the Highlandersprogram, turning it backinto a well-regarded teamwith big rosters and acollection of recent grads,

including Dourandish,brought back to help coach.

But with family dutiescalling – he and his wifeAlex have a two-year-oldchild and another one duein November – Andersonbegan mulling over thepossibility of turning theteam over to the youngguns.

“I needed to take a stepback,” he says. “My familyis very important to me andI’ve put a lot of pressureon my wife over the lastfive years of coaching.(Coaching) is a full-timejob, in my opinion, inaddition to teaching.”

Now all that was leftwas to let 25-year-oldDourandish know that hewas now the head coach of

a senior high school footballteam.

“He had jokingly talkedabout it for the whole yearbefore,” Dourandish recalls.But when the time camefollowing the 2014 season, itwas no joke.

“OK, you guys aredoing it,” Andersontold Dourandish and hiscollection of young coachfriends. Dourandish wasto be the head coach withformer West Van teammateAndrew Cho and threeSentinel grads – MarcusTan and brothers Nic andMitch Shuster – acting asassistants. Dourandish’sbest friend, fellow West Van2008 grad Sean Holler, wasto take over the junior team,a squad that Anderson hadalso been coaching.

Dourandish was nervous.“I’m not young, but I’m

pretty young in coachingterms,” he says, adding thathe has felt the age gap when

he attended meetings withother head coaches who aremostly older teachers. Hisnervousness, however, wastopped by his excitement.“It’s always nice to havesomeone trust you enoughto hand over their baby.(Shawn) helped grow theprogram and then justhanded over the keys.”

The switch has gonesmoothly. The Highlandersdropped their openinggame 8-0 against CarsonGraham Saturday but,more importantly for theprogram, they fielded astrong roster of more than25 senior players. Thejunior team is in even bettershape, boasting a roster ofnearly 40 players.

Anderson, who still actsas the offensive co-ordinatorfor the junior team andoverall co-ordinator for theWest Van football program,

Recent grads come back to WestVan to take over coaching duties


has been happy to see theyoung coaches taking suchgood care of his baby.

“I think it’s amazing.I really do. I know whata challenge it is,” he says.“They’ve all taken onleadership roles. They’rereally coaching. They’repractice planning, they’rebreaking down film, they’redoing the work of a coachinstead of just supporting atpractice.”

Anderson is alsoimpressed by how thecoaches have shaken uptheir lives to fit the awkward3-5 p.m. daily practice timeinto their lives.

“That’s a hugecommitment and I hopethat our players understandthat,” he says.

Holler, the junior coach,went so far as to requestearly morning shifts atwork so he could make it topractice each afternoon.

“You’re committing tostart work at 5 a.m. andcome here to practice?”says Anderson. “That’samazing.”

Dourandish creditsAnderson with helping himlearn the organizationalskills needed when you’re incharge of every last detail.

“(It’s) stressful at times,because he loves to be verywell prepared,” Dourandishsays with a laugh. “Thetoughest thing would bedealing with everything….You get home from a game

and have to upload thefilm, start planning rightaway, co-ordinate with yourcoaches what you want todo that week. It’s a little bitmore challenging than justgoing out there and yellingat kids.”

Anderson admits,however, that he’s learned afew things himself from hismore laid-back protégé.

“I’m a (Handsworthhead coach) Jay Prepchukdisciple – there’s a rightway and a wrong way todo it. Whereas Pooya isa bit more collaborativewith the players,” he says.“The players really respectPooya for his commitmentto the program and forhis temperament. He’sa laid-back kind of guy.They haven’t had that. I’mnot super laid-back. I’mlearning from Pooya thatit’s OK to have fun androll with what’s going on.He does such a great job ofthat.

“He’s a good guy, he’sa fun guy. He’s out in theworld. He drives a big truckand he listens to countymusic. That’s the kind ofguy he is and the kids kindof relate to that. He’s notyoung like them. He’s nottheir friend, but they canrelate to him a bit morethan the cranky old guy thatI’m becoming.”

Dourandish first startedcoaching in Grade 11 aftera torn ACL put him on thesidelines. Instead of rueinghis bad luck, he signed up to

help with the Grade 8 team.“No coaching, really,

just kind of being there andholding stuff for people,”he says with a laugh. “Youget a look at what the gamelooks like from the other

side. I don’t know – it justhooked me.”

Now that he’s a headcoach, the hooks are in himeven deeper.

“The dream is to coachfootball and get paid for it,”

he says. “You understandthat you maybe live in thewrong country for that.But if I can be involved incoaching for the rest of mylife, I’d be a very happyperson.”
