EAGLE EYES MIKE WAKEFIELD District to name new ’hoods Seaspan, Ottawa reach deal on 3 ships JANE SEYD [email protected]NorthVancouver’s Seaspan Shipyards has reached an agreement in principle with the federal government to build the first three offshore fisheries/Coast Guard vessels under Ottawa’s national shipbuilding program. The agreement, announced Friday, sets a “target” price of $400 million for the three offshore fisheries science vessels and a “ceiling” of $544 million, said senior government officials. The total budget to put the three vessels into service — including training, project management costs and contingencies — is up to $687 million, almost three times the project’s originally estimated cost of $244 million. That’s likely one reason for protracted contract negotiations between Seaspan and Ottawa leading up to Friday’s agreement, which will form the basis of a construction contract. Officials said Friday the original $244 million estimate, developed in 2004, didn’t contain provision for inflation, project management, engineering or design costs and didn’t include enough contingency. Before agreeing to the new figures, the federal government had Seaspan’s estimates vetted by an expert third party, which found them “fair and reasonable,” said officials. Under the terms of the contract, the shipyard will receive extra incentive payments if the three ships come in under the $400- million target budget or are delivered ahead of schedule.

Summertime and thelivin’ is easy here on theNorth Shore.
The Shipyards NightMarket on Fridays is in fullswing — featuring foodtrucks of every flavour.Thesound of smooth jazz floatingin the summer breeze will fillthe air with the start of theNorth Shore Jazz Festivalthis week, and again duringthe Harmony Arts Festivalin August. Plus, the crowd-pleasing Canada Day andCaribbean Days celebrationsare just around the corner.
Blue skies and plentyof sunshine are, of course,the accoutrements for thesefun outdoor events. Butyou won’t have to travel toTrinidad andTobago tofind the heat: EnvironmentCanada meteorologists arepredicting a warmer thannormal summer on theWestCoast.The Lower Mainlandhas already gotten a jump-start on the glorious weatherand it’s just a taste of what’sto come.
“I think we are seeinga really early teaser here ofsummer,” said EnvironmentCanada meteorologist MattMacDonald at the start oflast week’s warm spell.
Many people broke outtheir shorts andT-shirtsmonths ago, as springmasqueraded as summerthis year: hardly a drop ofrain was felt on the “WetCoast” during the driestMay on record since 1937with only 4.2 millimetres ofprecipitation recorded versusthe normal of 65 mm.
Much like last summer,B.C. residents will relishin warmer than normalweather, with one caveat:meteorologists can’t predictthe precipitation, becauseit’s always “a crapshoot,”says MacDonald. But notto worry, a below-averagerainfall is expected for theregion.
Vancouverites can expectaverage daily temperaturehighs this summer to hoveraround 24 or 25 Celsius,along with some heat waves.
“The Blob” — anexpanse of exceptionallywarm water that has beensitting offVancouver Islandsince 2014 — has played arole in boosting temperaturesin these parts for the pastcouple years.
B.C. residents will earn
bragging rights for their hotweather this summer whentalking to their counterpartsin Eastern Canada, wheretemperatures will be belownormal. Not that we’recompetitive when it comes toweather, or sports.

From gelaterias to bicycleshops, North Shore retailershave been embracing theearly start to summer, whichhas been a boon for business.
Steed Cycles, in theheart of the commutercorridor on Marine Drive,has been busier than usualwith walk-in traffic and biketune-ups.The balmy winterweather signalled an earlystart to cycling season, saysSteed sales manager PaulMcCarthy.
For those biking thissummer, McCarthy cautionsit can be deceiving howmuch sun is beating downon you. “If you are on a long,open road for hours, it’slike sitting in a park,” saysMcCarthy, adding cyclists
can protect themselves inthe sun with waterproofsunscreen and polarizedsunglasses.
McCarthy’srecommendation for aneasy Sunday afternoon ridethis summer is the pavedpathway inside the LowerSeymour ConservationReserve. “It’s not too manysteep hills, it’s rolling, it’spretty easy — so it suits
everybody,” says McCarthy.What better way to cool
down after a bike ride ona hot day than with somegelato or ice cream. BrazzaGelato and Coffee co-ownerTony Mastrangelo says inthe summer people tendto be out celebrating andsometimes that involvesindulging in a scoop, or two,

are under construction tomonitor costs and progresson the ships.
Some of the extramoney needed to completethe project will comefrom already-completedhelicopter and hovercraftprojects, which werefinished under budget.
The lion’s share— about $300 million— will be moved from anapproximately $3-billionbudget for 10 multi-task65-metre and 75-metreCoast Guard vessels thatOttawa plans to build atSeaspan after the massivenavy joint support shipsand polar icebreaker arecompleted.
The imminent signingof the constructioncontract means work onthe federal vessels will startvery soon at the NorthVancouver shipyard, saidBrian Carter, president ofSeaspan Shipyards. “Thisis an important day forSeaspan,” he said. “We’revery, very close to thatimportant milestone.”
Once constructionof the offshore fisheriesvessels is underway, theworkforce in the trades atthe shipyard is expected
to swell from about 200currently to more than 500workers.
He added that thecontract will mean spinoffwork for suppliers acrossthe country. Seaspanhas already contractedto spend more than$200 million with 137companies as part ofits work on the nationalshipbuilding program.
The first vessel is
expected to be finishedearly in 2017, with theother two following later inthat year.
The vessels will beoperated by the CanadianCoast Guard and used byfisheries scientists to doassessments of fish stocksand the marine ecosystem,as well as respond tomarine emergencies.
The federal governmentand Seaspan have yet to
reach an agreement onthe two massive navy jointsupport ships, which willalso be built at Seaspanunder the nationalshipbuilding program.
In 2013, both theparliamentary budgetofficer and the auditorgeneral raised questionsabout whether the $2.6billion set aside by Ottawawill be enough to build thetwo ships.

The Early 70’s: The original News, now the NorthShore Free Press, had been publishing for two years
but it was still very much a hand made paper.
A6 - North Shore News - Sunday, June 14, 2015
Dear Editor:On June 16 the District of NorthVancouver
will convene a public hearing to hear from thecommunity with respect to the redevelopment ofthe Mountain Court property along East 27thStreet near Mountain Highway.The property isone of the last medium-sized affordable rentallocations in the district.The redevelopment willdisplace 80 families and 225 people.
During the DNV council first reading of thebylaw empowering the redevelopment, the voice ofLisa Muri, who addressed the issue of the destruc-tion of affordable rental housing, was muted bythe voices of others who were more concernedabout the appearance of window trim on the new
buildings than the loss of affordable housing.The district’s official community plan places a
priority on retaining and building affordable hous-ing, especially affordable seniors’ housing.Thedistrict has been presented with options on howto retain affordable housing including the modelused in LakeTahoe. A further suggestion madewas to use community amenity contributions, orCACs, from the development to build additionalaffordable seniors’ housing at the Kiwanis sitearound the corner onWhiteley Court.The districtrefuses to consider these alternatives. Districtgeneral manager of planning Brian Bydwell hasgone so far as to claim that the redevelopment ofMountain Court does not generate enough profit
for the applicant to justify CACs. A 2013 reportfrom District staff stated that $43.3 million indevelopment cost charges and CACs from the re-development of LynnValley town centre, includingthe Mountain Court application, would be neededto balance the district’s budget.
The mind-numbing close-mindedness ofdistrict senior staff and some members of councilto innovative solutions to this province’s affordablehousing crisis is worrisome.What is more uncon-scionable is the institutional absence of compas-sion for the 80 families who will be displaced,many of whom are single parents and seniors.Hazen ColbertNorthVancouver

KarmageddonWhat do the Burrard Bridge,
yoga and LNG have incommon?
The answer that was so obvious toeveryone but took a tsunami of backlashfor the premier’s office to figure out, ofcourse, is nothing.
Nevertheless, Christy Clark held anews conference this week promisingto shut down the bridge on June 21 fora group session of downward dogs andlotus poses on International Day of Yoga.
The event, partially sponsored by someof the B.C. Liberals’ generous donors inthe LNG and yoga wear industries, wasstill going to cost taxpayers $150,000 todo what could have been done at a parkfor free.
It was also scheduled for NationalAboriginal Day, so the premier choosingto align her chakras rather thanaddressing the Truth and Reconciliation
report seemed in poor taste.All of these legitimate grievances
notwithstanding, we wonder about thepremier’s tone-deafness on the matter— particularly when she quipped thatcritics were simply “yoga haters.”
Despite the aid of some very high-priced advisers and media coaching,the whole plan wound up as a smokingcrater of bad public relations that nonumber of deep cleansing breaths weregoing to fix. Clark announced Fridaythat the focus of event had driftedtoward politics that was interfering withthe zen vibe she had envisioned and thatshe would no longer attend.
Namaste to that.But if it’s possible to go this wrong
on what is essentially a photo op, whatconcerns should we have for bigger,more important decisions that are beingmade?
Dear Editor:If the “pollution” pouring
out of the chimney stacksin the (May 17, Raeside)cartoon is supposed to beCO2, then it is ironic that itis “killing” the tree that uses
and needs CO2 to survive.Carbon dioxide is a
greenhouse gas in thesame way that watervapour is, except it isrelatively insignificant in theatmosphere, and Canada’s
contribution to the worldtotal is less than two percent. Idealists seem to wantto live and enjoy first-worldlifestyles without realizinghow much oil/energy isneeded to maintain those
lifestyles or how manyproducts they use every dayare derived from oil. Untilviable alternatives are found,we are reliant on oil for oursurvival. And depriving(developing countries) of
the energy they need to getto where we are is just plainwrong.The farcical carboncredits scheme helps thesepeople not a jot.Jerome HenenNorthVancouver

Do you know how I knowthat it really is the goldenage of beer here in BritishColumbia? I followed thewomen.
OK, I didn’t literallyfollow the women at lastweekend’sVancouver CraftBeerWeek finale.Thatwould have been weird andcreepy. Also the securityguards politely asked me tostop.
The truth is it was hardnot to notice the women.They were all over the place.When the massive PNEgrounds were just about fullmy friend and I scannedthe crowd for a quick headcount and both came tothe conclusion that at leasthalf of the attendees werewomen, possibly more. Andour data is most certainlyreliable: we’re both happilymarried men with youngchildren — it’s our job toquietly notice lovely youngladies and then continue onwith our business of beinghappily married men.
For years the big beercompanies have questedafter the discerning andelusive female demographicwith such tricks as makingtheir awful products evenmore awful by producinga “lite” version or, morerecently, adding “lime” tomake their awful productstaste more like the dumpsterbehindTaco Bell.
This all comes afteryears and years of beeradvertisements tradingon the brilliant concept ofputting scantily clad ladiesnext to a pool or beachor very cold train andthen telling them to seeminterested in the schlubswho are nearby chuggingvery cold dumpster juice.
My dad always got a kickout of those commercials.“If they keep drinking beer,those ladies won’t look likethat for long,” he’d say.Zing!
Add it all up and itwas one heck of a salespitch for attracting femaleconsumers: “Degradation!Lime-flavoured industrialwaste!Trains! All served icecold.”
Now we have the wholecraft beer thing in B.C. andit seems like the riddle isfinally being solved.Thecraft beer revolution thatis happening now in B.C.actually started back in1982 in Horseshoe Baywhen John Mitchell openedthe province’s first microbrewery. Jump ahead a fewdecades and the industryreally started to take offwhen it was cleverly re-branded “craft beer” topiggyback on the ragingpopularity of other buy-local, artisanal movements.Sustainable quilts! Seven-grain candles! Hand-wovenbeeeer!
In my experience,however, the start of theboom was still mostly amale thing. I remembertaking inVancouver CraftBeerWeek signature eventsthree or four years agowhen the industry wasjust heating up, and thoseaffairs were still dominatedby the bearded and belliedset on both sides of the bar.It was an interesting timeto be into the scene.Therewas elbowroom inside the
modestly sized festival hallsto meet the brewers, chatabout beers and drink lotsof samples while makinginsightful comments.
“Mmmmm,” hescratches his beard.“Hoppy.”
Last weekend at thePNE there wasn’t muchtime or space for chatting,particularly at the boothsfeaturing rock star
breweries like Persephoneand Four Winds that had15-minute lineups almostall day to fill an adorablytiny little mug.The bestbrewmasters weren’t eventhere — they were inToronto cleaning houseat the Canadian BrewingAwards held in NiagaraFalls, with Delta-basedFour Winds leading thecharge, winning Brewery of
theYear honours.That’s the other thing
— the beer is great, andgetting better.The BeerWeek festival was hopping,and it was a blast.Therewere lots of things to drawpeople in — lawn games,haircuts, lumberjacks,pinball, blue skies, streetmeat — but at its heart itwas still just a bunch ofpeople standing around
drinking good beer. Andthe women were loving it.
It’s not just festivalseither.The craft breweries— a new one opens onthe Lower Mainlandapproximately every 90minutes — seem to havereally nailed it with theirdelivery system of tastingrooms and growler fills. All

The summer weatherthat’s settling upon us canbe harmful to people and
the environment if certainprecautions are not heeded.
When an unrelentinghot spell hit B.C. in thesummer of 2009, there were115 people that succumbedto heat-related illnesses,according to provincialhealth statistics.
The vast majority of thesedeaths occurred among theelderly and in their homes,says Dr. Meena Dawar,medical health officer forVancouver Coastal Health.
“What I find in theLower Mainland is peopledon’t tend to take theheat seriously, because thetemperatures are (normally)so moderate,” said Dawar.
The usual sun safetymessage is reinforced:wear a wide-brimmed hat,sunglasses and sunscreen— and hydrate often.
Already throngs of hikershave started descending onlocal trails.
“We are getting in theQuarry Rock area over 3,000people on the weekends,”reports District of NorthVancouver assistant fire chiefMike Cairns.
If the tinder-dryconditions persist, Cairnssaid the trails could be closedto prevent people fromsparking forest fires.
For protecting foliageat home, gardeners can get
a sprinkler timer to avoidrising before the sun whenwatering is permitted. “Keep(the lawn) evenly moist— it doesn’t have to besoggy,” recommends InekeMilligan, manager of DykhofNurseries and Florist.
High temperatures cantake a toll on garden veggies,and only certain varieties can
take the heat. “Peppers liketo be dry — not so much,zucchinis,” says Milligan.

of a sudden talking about,acquiring, and drinkingbeer is a cool, social thingto do. At my office thereare several hip ladies wholove to talk beer, and onany trip to a craft brewerytasting room you’ll nodoubt see many womendrinking in the vibe andthe beer.
You may even see theodd piece of fruit or two,but that’s OK. For yearswe’ve sat back while thebig breweries pouredlime into our wounds. Itrust these brewers to dosomething much sweeter.

It may be impossible tofully eliminate any of mysubconscious North Shorebias but I can honestly saythat the White IPA fromNorth Vancouver’s BridgeBrewery was my favouritebeer that I tasted at theBeer Week finale. It camehighly recommended aswell.
“How’s the White IPA?”we asked our server.
“It’s F—ing delicious!”she replied. She was right.
The project includestwo towers, a newcommunity centre, fourlow-rise buildings and 20townhouse units to be builtover the next decade.
Calling it CapilanoVillage generated a mostlypositive response at themeeting. Coun. RobinHicks suggested adding a“Lower” prefix to CapilanoVillage, just to give the areasome extra geographicaldistinction on that longstretch of road.
Keeping distinctivemonikers in mind, Coun.Roger Bassam would likea new name altogetherfor that area: Lions GateVillage.
“I also wonder why wewouldn’t look at LionsGate … which is the moreappropriate name for thatarea,” said Bassam. “Itresonates with the majorgeographical feature therewhich is the Lions GateBridge.”
Noting there is already aCapilano Village ShoppingCentre on Marine Drive,Mayor Richard Waltonsurmised the ownersof that complex wouldmost likely challenge thedistrict’s use of that name.Coun. Mathew Bond,
however, disagreed withWalton, pointing out LynnValley Town Centre appliesto both the shopping malland the area.
Couns. Doug MacKay-Dunn and Jim Hanson hadno qualms with the nameCapilano Village, whileCoun. Lisa Muri tookumbrage with the “village”designation.
“I just want to get awayfrom ‘village,’” said Muri.“It (Lower Capilano)doesn’t suggest to me avillage at all. It’s going tobe tall highrises, tall hotels,four-lane road; I don’tthink of a village when Ithink of that. Edgemont isa village.”
Council, in the end,narrowed down the listof names to two choices:Lions Gate or CapilanoVillage.
As for branding LowerLynn, staff ’s suggestionof “Bridge District”— which came out of abrainstorming session witharea stakeholders — didn’tsit well with some membersof council.Walton wasn’tconvinced the name wouldgrow on residents who havecome to know the area asSeylynn or Lower Lynn.
When they were goingthrough the Lower Lynnrenaming exercise, the
district’s social planningstaff searched forsomething “new and hip”that appealed to NorthVan’s missing generation,and that was “not buriedin historical references,”council heard at thecommittee of the wholemeeting.
Incorporating the word“bridges” in Lower Lynnseemed obvious to staff,because from a physicalview the area is home to avariety of pedestrian, trainand vehicle bridges.
Muri and Hansonrequested that a differentphysical feature in the area
— the Lynn River — becelebrated as part of thenew name. Bassam thensuggested Lynn Bridges orLynn Bridges District.
Hicks, however, feltthat adopting the name“district” might createsome confusion, giventhere is already a district ofNorth Van.
Council will kick thenames around for a bitbefore announcing in thecoming weeks what thenew communities will becalled.
North Shore HistoricalSociety president JohnStuart, weighing in onthe “Bridge District”suggestion, said in 20 yearsno one will rememberwhy it was called that.Making a case for usinga geographical moniker,Stuart used the exampleof the renamed SecondNarrows Bridge.
“Most people stillrefer to it, because it’sprobably faster to say, theSecond Narrows Bridge— and that gives you ageographical location,”said Stuart. “When you saythe Ironworkers MemorialBridge — there are a lota people that are recentarrivals that are not goingto have a clue where thatis.”

Representatives of Capilano Community Services Society presented their annual general meeting at theiroffices in North Vancouver May 19. Guests mixed and mingled and festivities included a performance by BlueYonder, a Vancouver Thunderbird Chorus barbershop quartet.The non-profit organization services all three NorthShore municipalities, offering a host of supportive programs for local youths and seniors, as well as people of all agesthrough the North Shore Red Cross Health Equipment Loan Program. capservices.ca
A NorthVancouver father isteaming up with friends andneighbours to fundraise for anon-profit organization closeto his heart.
Long an avid mountainbiker, JohnTaylor, 48, hasparticipated a number of timesover the last 15 years in theSquamishTest of Metal.
This year’s edition of thecross-country mountain bikerace, featuring a mass start of1,000 riders, challenged totraverse a 67-kilometre coursewith more than 1,200 metresof climbing and 35 km ofsingle-track, is being presentedSaturday, June 20 by NestersMarket.
In the last few years,Taylor rode the event aspart of a Canadian DiabetesAssociation fundraisinginitiative. Not offered this year,and maintaining an interest inusing the event to promote agood cause, he jumped at theopportunity to do his own thingand fundraise for Friend 2Friend Social Learning Society.The non-profit organization wasfounded by NorthVancouver’sHeather McCracken with a goalof fostering play and friendshipsfor individuals on the autismspectrum.
Taylor’s son Aonghas, 11, hasautism and has been involved
with Friend 2 Friend overthe last five years, supportedthrough a variety of programs,including their AutismDemystification Programs andFriend 2 Friend — IntegratedPlay Groups. Both saw staffmembers come into Aonghas’school, Dorothy Lynaselementary, and effectively workto forge connections betweenhim and his classmates.
“It’s been a good class and Ithink Friend 2 Friend has beena big part of it, because they’revery understanding of him,they’re friends with him. It’sgreat to see,” saysTaylor.
Proceeds raised by the team(rounded out by membersChris Little, Dean Kramaricand Darin Nevin), will supportFriend 2 Friend’s growingefforts to serve local childrenthrough ongoing programs aswell as at itsVancouver PlayCentre and upcoming secondlocation, set to open in NewWestminster in September.

FIT&HEALTHYLiberation Fitness is a revolutionaryNorth Shore facility which combinesthemedical management andhealth benefits of traditionalmedicine, along with necessarytherapeutic lifestyle changes. Thename Liberation Fitness speaksto the need to see peoples livesbeing freed from the confines ofchronic disease. It was founded byMatt Conway (Kinesiologist andExercise Specialist) and Dr. KevinMcleod (Physician and Specialist ofInternal Medicine). They have bothworked in the health care systemfor many years and found thatthe traditional approach of simplytreatingmost medical conditionswithmedications wasn’t leading tothe best possible outcomes for theirpatients. Many chronic conditionshave the potential for significantimprovement through lifestylechange.
“As physicians we tend to focus ontreatingmedical problems with pills.In the right setting pills can be lifesaving however, for many chronicconditions patients can get dramaticbenefit through dietary changeand by getting themselves active.”says Mcleod. “As physicians we don’talways put enough emphasis onhowmuch we can improve ourhealth by doing the right types ofphysical activity.”
Matt Conway explains“Ourmodelis unique.We tie traditionalmedicalcare inwith fitness.We have specialistphysicians on site alongwith nursingcare and exercise specialists. This isn’ttypical personal training.We prideourselves in providing awelcomingandwarm environment. Our teamcan explain your lab results andreviewmedical problemswhilethey help you improve your overallhealth. Our approach to preventativeand rehabilitative fitness providesopportunity for long term lifestylechanges for even themost hesitantpatient. Somemay have just hada heart attack a fewweeks beforecoming andwant to get activewithphysicians and exercise specialistswho knowhow to do this safely.Othersmay have a condition likediabetes theywant to really improvewithout addingmore pills.We havelots of preventative patients whoreally just want to get active and feelbetter but are not sure how to do thisand don’t feel comfortable or safe inthe traditional gymmodel.”
“One of our first patients to join oneof our classes whowas committedto improving her diabeteswith asecondary goal of reducing thenumber of pills shewas taking. Shesurpassedmy expectations andmanaged to bring her weight downquite dramatically and ended up
coming off of all of her diabetesmedications. Shewas able to reverseher diabetes. She still comes 3 days aweek to keep herself healthy.”

Islandwinerygetsnew lookWith the Okanagan soprominent as a winetouring destination,it’s easy to forget thatVancouver Island iscloser, easier to reach,and its star is very muchon the rise.
A core group of keyplayers seems to begetting the “Big Island”the recognition it now sowell deserves. The latestindication comes in theform of the significantmakeover of Blue GrouseEstate Winery, in thehands of its new owners,the Brunner family.
Blue Grouse, which wasfounded by Hans Kiltzand family in 1989, haslong been a producer ofgood quality wines, thanksin great part to Kiltz’sdetermination to focus onwhat actually works.
Over the years, up untilits sale, the Kiltz familymade excellent Bacchus,Ortega and others;and they were majorproponents of discoveringwhat else should beplanted in the correctsites.
Paul Brunner hiredBailey Williamson, whoused to work with Road 13Winery in the Okanagan.He’s an extremely savvywinemaker, who alsounderstands the needto work with varietiesthat make sense for thissometimes borderline
region.I can’t say enough
about the sensitivity ofthe new owners towardsthe founding family. Theyrecognize fully what theKiltz family achieved. Tothat end they’ve dedicatedthe mezzanine in thespectacular new winerybuilding as a tribute to theKiltzes.
The winery itselfis impressive enough,but this thoughtfulgesture obviously flowsfrom people with a realunderstanding of the kindof commitment it takes tostart a successful wineryfrom scratch. It’s goodto see Hans getting therecognition he so richlydeserves after all theseyears.
The graciously modernbuilding makes the mostof the south-facing aspectlooking down the vineyard.The view from just about
anywhere — from theextensive patio, the mainfoyer or the mezzanine— takes full advantage ofthe view and setting.
Even though there isno full-service restaurant(though nearby UnsworthWinery will oblige),there is a commercialkitchen on site to handlecatered events and specialoccasions, of which I amsure there will be several.
Here’s a sampling ofwhat you can find in thebottle:
Blue Grouse Quill White2013
A blend of Ortega,Pinot Gris, Gewurz andMuller Thurgau, morethan 50 per cent estategrown with grapes alsofrom nearby Summerland,adds up to a well-balancedworkhorse of a blend withapple, citrus, stonefruitand definite mineral hints($17, 90 points).
Blue Grouse Siegerrebe2014
From the Cowichan,brimming with bright ripeapple and grapefruit hintswrapped in juicy aciditywith juicy tropical notesunderpinned by moderateacidity ($20, 90 points).
Blue Grouse DryBacchus
A refreshing departurefrom some sweeter styles,
produced from the originalvines on the property, thisBacchus offers up aromasof nettle and honeynotes before a crisp butsmooth palate with intensestonefruit underpinnedby mineral hints beforea firm, dry finish. Theperfect match for freshoysters on the half shell($20, 91 points).
• • •If you’re a fan of
smaller wineries (andwho isn’t) you won’t wantto miss Garagiste North(The Small Guys WineFestival), at the WISEHall, 2 to 4 p.m. on June27.
This celebrationof micro wineries (allmaking under 2,000 casesa year) brings togethersome of the best and thebrightest, with names suchas Anarchist Mountain,Synchromesh, Alderlea,Bella, Daydreamer,Corcelettes, Niche andmore.
Cost: $49, includeswine tastings, food truckschnacks by RoamingDragon, and cool musicby Chicken Like Birds.Tickets on Eventbriteunder “Garagiste.”

For every home seller,there is but one buyer.
This spring, we’ve seen abuying frenzy in theNorthVancouver real estatemarketwhich has led to increasingprices, quick sales and plentyof competition for every homethat comes on themarket.
“We had 15 offers onone LynnValley home thatwe sold inMay,” explainsLaura Clarke of TeamClarkeReal Estate. “Thatmeans 14potential buyers lost out.”
If you’re looking for anew home this summer, yourbuying process should gobeyond beingmesmerized bya well-groomed front yard ora fresh coat of paint.
“In thismarket, it’simperative that youwork witha realtor who’s an expert inthe area that you’re targeting,”
says Clarke. “A good realtorwill be knowledgeable aboutneighbourhoods, schoolsand amenities. He or she willalso be familiar with recentlistings and sales in the areaandwill be able to advise youon value.”
Realtors can help youstay one step ahead of otherbuyers, with access to newlistings up to three days beforethey appear on the publicMLS site. And remember,sellers pay all commissionfees—a realtor’s services comeat no cost to buyers.
Agents can also alert youto Realtor’s Opens that happena few days before a weekendopen house.They’re open tothe public and can give you achance to get a jump on seeinga property and decide if you’dlike tomake an offer. If youcan’tmake the open house,have your realtor schedule aprivate viewing for you at thefirst available opportunity.
Keep an openmindwhenconsidering neighbourhoods,types of houses and list prices,Clarke advises. Purchasing
a homewith an incomesuitemeans you’ll be able toincrease your budget.There’salso a chance that you’ll comeacross a home that’s pricedhigh andwill ultimately sellfor a price that’s much closerto what you can afford.
On the subject of prices,it’s crucial to know just howmuch you can spend. “Haveyour financing in order andideally pre-approved,” saysClarke. “That way, you’ll beable tomove quickly whenyou find a property that worksfor your family.”
Speaking ofmovingquickly, if a seller is holdingoff until a certain timebefore accepting offers, thehome has likely been pricedstrategically with the intentionof garneringmultiple bids.“This is an opportunity to doa pre-inspection and get yourfinancing arranged,” suggestsClarke. “Ask the listing realtorfor a copy of the PropertyDisclosure Statement, theTitle and any documents ontitle in order to review them.Ideally, be prepared to write asubject-free offer.”
If you’re looking to getinto themarket, do yourhomework to submit thewinning bid for the propertyof your dreams and enjoy agreat investment and all thewonderful qualities of NorthShore living!

The Governmentof Canada recentlyannounced two calls forproposals for projectsintended to help seniorsacross Canada stayactive, engaged andinformed.
Andrew Saxton, MP forNorth Vancouver, issuedthe call June 5 on behalfof Alice Wong, Ministerof State for Seniors,according to a pressrelease.
The 2015-2016 NewHorizons for SeniorsProgram Call for Proposalsfor Pan-Canadian Projectsinvites organizations toapply for funding forprojects that will workto reduce social isolationamong seniors by usingcollaborative approachesthat place an emphasis onmeasurable results. Eachproject will be up to three
years in duration andfunded between $150,000and $750,000.
The annual NewHorizons for SeniorsProgram Call for Proposalsfor Community-BasedProjects is invitingorganizations to apply for
funding of up to $25,000for projects that will workto empower seniors toshare their knowledge,skills and experienceswith others and supportcommunities by increasingtheir capacity to addresslocal issues. More than
1,850 projects wereapproved through the2014–2015 call.
The application periodfor both types of proposalsbegan May 29 and willclose July 10.
For more information,visit Canada.ca/Seniors.
Todefer or not to defer: that is the questionPay your property taxesor defer them. If you are55 or older the choice isyours.
B.C. offers up twoproperty tax defermentprograms.There’s onefor persons 55 or older, asurviving spouse, or a personwith a disability, and one forfamilies with children.
If you enrol in theprogram you’ll be chargedsimple interest on the taxesyou have deferred. Interestrates are set every sixmonths.The current rate forthe regular program is oneper cent and for the familieswith children program it’sthree per cent. So for asenior with a property taxbill of $5,000, the cost todefer the tax for one yearis $50 plus a one-timeadministration fee of $60.
I’m not surprised thatmany of those who areeligible choose to takeadvantage of this program.
In 2014, in the District
of NorthVancouver2,089 people deferredtheir property taxes.Thecorresponding figures forthe City of NorthVancouverand the District ofWestVancouver are 489 and1,587 respectively.
There has to be a catch,right? Not really, but the oldadage the only sure thingsin life are death and taxesstill holds true.This is a taxdeferral program not a taxforgiveness program.
Apart from buying a littlemore time you are really justswapping one creditor foranother. So instead of owingtaxes to the municipality inwhich you live you owe thatmoney plus interest to theprovincial government. Andwhile you carry a propertytax balance, you’ll still haveto pay your utility chargesand you’ll have a restrictivelean placed against yourproperty.That means youcan’t sell your property orchange property owners
other than adding yourspouse, until you pay off allof the property tax moneyowing.
You’ll need a minimumequity of 25 per cent inyour home, to meet thecitizenship and residencyrequirements and to carryfire insurance on the
property to be eligible forthe program.
It sounds ominous butyou can make a payment orrepay the loan at any timewithout penalty.
Several jurisdictionsacross North American offera tax deferral option but youcertainly can’t get a deal asgood as this one anywhereelse.
Rich or poor, whetherthey need it or not, thegovernment is willing toloan seniors and a select fewothers, money to pay theirproperty taxes, at a discount,with no questions asked.
In fact under the currentrules a senior who won thelottery would be eligibleto defer their taxes.Thatdoesn’t make a lot of senseto me.The program has
merit but the financialoversight from government,in my opinion, just isn’tthere.
But we are not done yet.Last month in a report onseniors housing the Officeof the Seniors Advocatecalled for the provincialgovernment to help low-income seniors defermany home ownershipexpenses, such as utilities,maintenance and repairsuntil their home is soldor the owner leaves theproperty or dies. Similar tothe tax deferral program theprovince would pay thesebills directly and then recoupthe amount plus interestwhen the senior vacates thehome or passes on.
The advocate isproposing that this initiative
target low-income seniorsand be means-tested.That’sreally all it would take to fixthe flaw in the property taxdeferral program. I don’tdefer my taxes because Iabhor debt. Many seniorsshare that view.
Others can decidewhether the PropertyTax Deferral Program issomething that works forthem or not.You can pick upand return your applicationform to defer your propertytaxes from your municipal orcity hall. Property taxes aredue July 2.

Nestled among the Coast Mountains at the entranceto Howe Sound, the quaint village of Horseshoe Bayfeels a lot farther away than just 20 kilometres from thebustling streets ofVancouver.
Horseshoe Bay is a transition point if there ever wasone.The mainland portion of the mightyTrans CanadaHighway comes to an end at the bay. Same with the scenicSea-to-Sky Highway that runs north toWhistler and theBaden PowellTrail that goes east to Deep Cove. Althoughthere are only 1,000 permanent residents that live in thebay’s pleasant older homes, nearly seven million passengersa year pass through the Horseshoe Bay FerryTerminal,which provides ferry service to Nanaimo, the SunshineCoast and nearby Bowen Island.
It was in the early 1950s when Black Ball Ferry Linesdecided to set up their first runs from Horseshoe Bayto the Sunshine Coast, Nanaimo and Bowen Island,

according to records kept by the District ofWestVancouver. During that time, BlackBall provided 31 trips per day to thesedestinations, including service linking thelower Sunshine Coast to Powell River.The Black Ball line operated in the areauntil provincially run B.C. Ferries tookover service in the early-1960s.Today, theHorseshoe-Bay-to-Nanaimo route is thesecond most travelled connection fromthe Lower Mainland toVancouver Island,afterTsawwassen to Swartz Bay, providingservice for nearly 3.3 million passengers inthe past year alone, according to statisticskept by B.C. Ferries.
Nearly any Lower Mainland local hassome sort of fond memory of sitting ina sun-cooked car, waiting for the ferryto make an appearance and whisk themaway to some beautiful rural destination.Down in the village, waiting tourists canbrowse the funky shops or stop in at oneof the many restaurants to gorge on juicyhamburgers or fresh battered fish andchips.The sound of screaming seagullsaccompanying the authoritative blast offerry horns blends perfectly well here.One of those such restaurants isTroll’s,a longtime staple of Horseshoe Bay thathas been feeding hungry locals and ferrytravellers alike for nearly 70 years.
First erected as a fish and chips shack onthe Horseshoe Bay waterfront in 1946 byJoe and DorothyTroll, the restaurant grewsignificantly with the arrival of ferry servicein the 1950s and ’60s, according to HollyKemp, manager ofTroll’s and president ofthe Horseshoe Bay Residents Association.
“The ferries have always been a mainstayforTroll’s.That ferry traffic even today is

the bread and butter of the business,” saysKemp.
Kemp explains that even in the 10 yearsshe’s been working in the area, the villagehas seen changes.
“The village has grown.We’ve had, sinceI’ve been here, the Galleries, which is thenew building right across the street fromus, which brought in 16 new residences andsome newer business retail space.”
Kemp says she’s been working with theresidents association for the past decadeto try and make Horseshoe Bay more of adestination as opposed to just a stopoverlocation. Part of the association’s effortshave been to create events and festivals todraw more visitors to the area, includinga beer festival in June, a movie nightin August and Christmas Caroling inDecember. One successful event held eachApril is calledTaste ofThe Bay, wherevisitors purchase passes that allow accessto free products in the village’s manybusinesses.
“Everybody buys a passport and they cango to each and every location and they canget free wares and free food and wine andthat goes on in April.We’ve done that foreight years in a row.”
Kemp explains that the area’s locationmakes it an easily accessible getaway, evenfor MetroVancouver residents who need aday or two to catch their breath from thebig city.
“It’s a great little getaway even from theCity ofVancouver if you go toWhytecliffPark or Lighthouse Park or get a little boatand go over to Gambier or Bowen Island,”she says. “It’s just an absolutely stunningenvironment to be in regardless of whatthe weather is. It’s kind of my own littlegetaway.”

TRAVEL
MICHELLEHOPKINSContributingWriter
It’s a little after 5 p.m.as our plane descendsinto Cabo San Lucas.Joanne, my best friend ofnearly four decades, andI are about to embarkon a 10-day luxurygetaway through the BajaCalifornia peninsula,in Baja California Sur,Mexico.
As the clouds disappear,the vast coastline appears.It is sun-kissed; drenchedin the bluest waters of theSea of Cortez as it joins thePacific Ocean. Joanne andI can’t believe that afterdreaming about “somedaytraveling to an exotic localetogether” that someday isactually here.
Like A-listers, we stayin two of Cabo’s mostmagnificence resorts anddine in some of its finestrestaurants.This adventureis all about relaxation,decadence and some seriousbest girlfriends bonding.
Considered one ofMexico’s fastest growingtourist centres, breathtakingkilometre-after-kilometreof oceanfront playgroundseparates Baja’s two capetowns — one lively, theother more laidback.
We grab a cab andhead to the Esperanza, ourhome for the next few days.Imagine a resort where youhave commanding viewsof both the Sea of Cortezand Punta Ballena? Ontop of that your room is ahaven of luxury. (We are ingood company — PresidentObama stayed during theG20 summit in 2012 andactress Gwyneth Paltrowmarried rocker Chris Martinhere.)
As we found out, there
is so much to do (or not)that you really never have toleave the resort.
When it came tolounging away entireafternoons, the poolsidebeckoned. After walks alongthe beach, we would laze onthe side of the infinite pool,submerge our feet and ordermango margaritas.Whoeversaid sunbathing was badfor you was obviously at thewrong resort.
Snorkeling and kayakingat Arch and Lover’s Beach,Cabos San Lucas
After a short instructionallesson by our Cabo
Outfitters guides, we kayakout to the Arch, past thesea lion colony and aroundLand’s End into the Pacific.The distinctive landmarkof Cabo San Lucas is therugged El Arco (The Arch)rock formation at the tip ofthe Baja Peninsula.
We land at Lover’s Beach— instantly dropping ourtowels.The clear azurewater is one of the best andsafest snorkeling spots inCabo San Lucas.With itscolourful coral-coated rocks,we bob past other snorkelersaround the base of the rocksand are rewarded with akaleidoscope of marine lifeincluding schools of greenand blue parrot fish andstriped sergeant major fish.
A day in historic San Jose:Although the next day is
scorching hot, we are toldSan Jose is worth a visit.It’s as if time stood stillhere.With its 18th-centurySpanish colonial architectureand picturesque centralplaza, Joanne and I walk thequiet streets of this quainttown, poking our headsin a number of clothingboutiques and art shops.(Great silver jewelry).
Hearing rave reviewsabout La Panga Antigua,Joanne and I make areservation. Right after ourtour of Mission San Josedel Cabo (circa 1730) inthe epicentre of the historic
square — where we witnessa lively, colourful wedding— we walk over to therestaurant.
Tucked away behinda small door, La Pangadelights all of our senses.The hostess takes us to ouropen-air courtyard table andwe are completely enchantedby our surroundings.Beneath a crown of lit trees,it features unique stonework,centuries-old wood artisanpieces and authenticMexican artworks.
Our dining experienceat La Panga Antiguawas faultless — from theexcellent cuisine to theservice to the surroundings.This is definitely a must inSan Jose.
The “other” Cabo:The last leg of our
journey takes us to theHacienda Beach Club &Residences at MedanoBeach. Equally stunning,here we have our ownvilla. Steps away from thebustling downtown corridor,the Hacienda is home to theonly swimmable beach inthe vicinity.
The first evening,we dress up and headto the Hacienda Cocinay Cantina.The resort’ssignature restaurantmerges traditional Mexicanarchitecture with casualbeachfront dining for anelegant, relaxed experience.With a breeze gently coolingus, we sit on the terraza,
overlooking the infinitypools, cascading waterfeatures and the ocean.Theonly thing that rivals theviews is the cuisine.
Besides shopping anddining our way throughCabo, we completelysubmerged ourselves insublime leisure.
In spite of all the tourists,Cabo still manages to retainsomething of a small townfeel. As we flew home, weboth agree — this isn’t thelast time we visit this gem!
Where to stay:■ Esperanza:This Relais& Châteaux oceanfrontproperty redefines luxury.It is a 57-room resort, 63fractionally owned villas and54 privately and fractionallyowned residences locatedon Baja’s Sea of Cortez. Allof the hotel’s rooms open tosweeping ocean views thatseemingly go on forever.Each has a single wall thatslides open to a privateveranda with an infinity-edge hot tub and sweepingseascapes — an inspiringspot for, among otherthings, a nightcap.The resort also featuresa full-service spa, fourswimming pools and privatebreach.

It was with a heavy heartthat I listened to oneof my dearest friendsspeak of her senior dog’srelapse.
I heard her anger atthe professionals she hadentrusted with her dog’scare. I heard her guiltas she racked her brainthinking of the what-ifsand should-haves, could-haves and would-haves.
I listened to her voicebreak and the eventualtears that came as shepushed away that littleniggling pin-prick thought
that everyone is faced withwhen their dog is near theend of its life. As best I
could, I just listened withempathy to my friend’sheart breaking in two.
I’ve been in her shoes,a few times now, and as Istare into the eyes of thethree loves of my life thatare staring back at me asI write this, I will be inthose shoes three moretimes.
But I’m better preparedfor it thanks to the lessonsI learned from my dogHarley. Just over 10years ago, I came faceto face with the caninegrim reaper as I tried tobreathe immortality intomy dog Harley after hewas diagnosed with ahighly aggressive cancer.It changed my perspectiveon death.
When Harley passedaway, to say I wasdevastated would be anunderstatement. Questionsran through my mind:“How did I miss thatlump?” “If I rubbed histummy for a few momentslonger each morningbefore rushing out of bedwould I have caught itsooner?” “Was he givingme signs that I missed due
to my selfishness at thetime?”
It was a futileconversation becausehe was dead and I waswishing with all my mightthat he wasn’t. I was tryingto find a way to bring himback to life by findinganswers to unanswerablequestions.
Then, about a monthafter Harley’s passing, Ihad a dream so incrediblyvivid that when I wokeI believed it was reallyhappening. In my dream,I made a deal with theGrim Reaper to bringHarley back to life. I wokeup to find him waiting togo for a walk.We playedFrisbee, he ran the trailswith me, he ate shortbreadcookies while curling upon the couch with me. Inmy dream he had comeback to life — but hehadn’t really. His body hadmaterialized, but when Ilooked into his eyes theywere black as coal andempty of life, without aspirit.
It took a number ofyears for me to come to anunderstanding about that
dream, and that happenedwhen I was faced with thedecision to euthanize myother dog, Alex. His oldage had caught up to him.
I remember tellingmyself I could keephis body alive withmedications that wouldgive him energy andalertness, but eventuallydestroy his alreadycompromised liver andkidneys. I could injecthim every day with fluidthat would help flush outthe fluid from his heart.I could put him througha surgery to remove theoozing tumour on hisbum. I could feed himpills to help him defecateand more pills to preventhis bladder from leaking.I could do whatever Icould to keep him alivefor myself, or I could justaccept that he was notimmortal and it was timeto let him go.
When we bring newdogs or pups into ourlives, we subconsciouslysign a contract with ourdogs to end their lives.We give them a life andwe also have to have the
courage to let them diewith dignity.
As humans, we wantto hang on to life forever,but I think that dogsknow there is somethingelse after death.Thatis why they accept it sopeacefully, unlike humans.We are constantly tryingto find ways to prolongour lives because we areso afraid of the unknownand death is a really bigunknown.
This is another lessonwe can take from our dogs,as we all will eventuallyface our own mortality. Ifour dogs can accept deathwith grace, dignity andin some cases filled withjoy, maybe we too canfind a way to be unafraidof death and, just like ourdogs, taste life right up tothe end.
Maybe they knowsomething we don’t.

already illustrious careerwithWorld Championshipand Pan Am Games gloryup for grabs.
The Canadian nationalteam player, born andraised in LynnValley, is
one of the country’s tophitters and pitchers in thewindmill sport that was oncebooming all across Canadabut has now become moreof a niche pursuit.The wayMayson tells it, however,
he didn’t have much choicein the matter when it cametime to choose what sporthe was going to play. Olderbrothers Scott and Brianboth played fastpitch whileparents Ken and Janet wereheavily involved too.
“My parents tell me thestory of being in the BabyBjorn when I was 10 daysold while both my parents
were coaching my brothers,”he says. “I’ve literally grownup at the ballpark.”
And when they weren’tat an actual ballpark theMayson boys made-do withthe next best thing.
“I kind of built my owninfield into our front lawn,”Derek says with a laugh.

“For a number of yearsthere my parents got usedto having batters boxesand pitching circles andbasepaths worn into thefrontyard in what I calledthe Frontyard BaseballAssociation. . . .There werea few broken windows overthe years but nothing thatcouldn’t be replaced. Itseems to have paid off in thelong run.”
Mayson, now 31, madehis national team debutat the age of 22 and thissummer will compete inhis second Men’s SoftballWorld Championshiprunning June 26 to July 5 inSaskatoon, Sask.
“It’s a feeling that nevergets old,” Mayson said ofplaying with a Maple Leafon his jersey. “Just recentlywe got our uniforms forthe upcoming tournament.Getting pictures and takinga look in the mirror — it’ssuch a proud feeling to lookback on all the hard workand sacrifices that have gonein to getting to that level. Itmakes it totally worthwhileto know you’re representingsuch a great country.”
The last time Maysonsuited up for aWorldChampionship was 2009when the team finishedthird.That tournament wasalso held in Saskatoon.
“People kind of chuckle— ‘A world championshipin Saskatoon? Poor you.’— but it was an amazingexperience,” he says.“They’re great hosts, it’s theright size of town to hostan event like this.We wereplaying in front of crowdsof 7,000 or 8,000 people,playing Canada vs. U.S. Itdoesn’t get any better thanthat in our sport.”
Mayson’s super summer
will be topped off by anappearance withTeamCanada at the Pan AmGames scheduled for July10-26 inToronto. It’s thefirst time the sport has beenincluded in the Pan AmGames program since 2003.
“To get to walk intothe opening ceremoniesand be part of the athlete’svillage, it’ll be a memory ofa lifetime,” Mayson says,adding that the team hasbeen gearing up over thepast several years knowingthat these two huge eventswould be held on home soilthis summer.
“We’re headed there tore-stake Canada’s claim asthe top team in the world,”he says. “We know we havethe talent.This group hasbeen kind of forming overthe last several events.We’ve learned some toughlessons on the last coupleof occasions but all of it hasmade us stronger.”
Local fastpitch fanswill get a sneak preview ofthis summer’s big eventsduring the Lower MainlandFastball League’s annualVancouver Challengetournament scheduledfor June 19-21 at SouthMemorial Park.Thetournament will includeMayson’s club team, theVancouver Meralomas, aswell as the defending worldchampion New ZealandBlack Sox, the country’snational team.
“Some of the topballplayers in the world willbe there,” Mayson says.
Mayson will do a lot ofpitching for his club teamand will play a lot of thirdbase with some first baseand pitching for the nationalteam.The sport presentsunique challenges, he says.
“You’re facing pitchingfrom 46 feet, upwards of
mid-80s miles per hourat the highest level withrise balls, drop balls, curveballs and off-speed. It’s achallenge every time you goout there.”
The pitching side is nopicnic either, however themotion is more natural thanbaseball’s overhand delivery,he says.
“It comes down to beingable to spot the ball whereI want to put it and makingit move and change speeds.When you get up into thehighest level, facing thetop hitters in the world, itdoesn’t really matter howfast you throw — if youthrow it over the plate or it’snot moving, they’re going toturn it around in a hurry.”
Mayson also playsfor a travelling team inCalifornia that competes inthe International SoftballCongress.The sport maynot boast the fame anddollars of Major Leaguebaseball but it has takenMayson all over the world,including stops in Mexicoand Argentina and season-long stints in New Zealandand Australia.
“There’s a greatcamaraderie and greatcommunity in the sport— you kind of remove thepolitics when you’re notchasing after the million-dollar contracts of the majorleagues,” he says. “It truly isan international game — Ihave friends all around theworld to prove it. I wouldn’ttrade the slim chance ofgetting to the major leaguesfor what I’ve been able toexperience. I wouldn’t tradeit at all.”
