1James Wilson, Obsession Bikes

Obsession Bikes owner James Wilson still remembers his first bike.

He was around five years old. It was a hand-me-down, thick with coats of paint splashed on over the years. The frame was a little big and the tires a little bare, but it changed his world. Everything opened up.

That’s why he passionately believes every

kid should have bike — even if the fam-ily maybe can’t afford it.

That’s why he started the Bikes for Tykes program eight years ago.

Here’s how it works: Donors drop by used bikes to his Lower Lonsdale shop and his technicians fix them up and they are given to needy families in time for Christmas.

And every year it seems more people are donating bikes, money and time to the project.

Wilson donates around $3,500 in labour costs towards the project, but he’s not complaining. He’s happy to give back to the community and encourage others to do the same.

“With regards to my business, it’s

the happiest I am,” he says of the bike program. “I couldn’t ask for more at Christmas.”

2 North Shore Arts Council guerrilla knitters

Something more permanent came out of a controversial yarn-bombing project in North Vancouver. Re-using the multicoloured knitted pat-

terns decorating trees around the city, volunteers with the North Van Arts Council made 30 scarves this November to donate to the North Shore Lookout Shelter.

“The wild colours will cheer people up while keeping

them from getting cold,” said volunteer Theresa James, a “guerrilla-knitter” who helped decorate a park in central Lonsdale this summer.

The temporary art form, however, faced skepticism from North Van City council earlier this year. In February, the North Van Arts Council’s request for $7,500 to pay for knitting kits was denied, but later reversed in a 4-2 vote after council members had a change of heart.

3 Capilano U students raising awareness for homelessness

A small group of Capilano University students spent five days liv-ing in a doorway this March to raise awareness for homelessness.

They asked for donations and time to talk about the issues from passersby

and were given some wild weath-er to brave.

Each student left the campaign a little different than when they arrived.

The partici-pants — Brandon Hofmarks, inter-national busi-ness; Liam Park, arts and enter-

tainment management; Dolly Reno, film studies; Sage Birley, global stewardship and Melanda Danenhower, also global stewardship — gained an idea of how easy it is suffer such a fate and how cold and lonely that life can be.

Educating the public, they say, is one of the most important ways to combat homelessness.

4 North Van civilians and cops who made the streets safer

The passenger who’d just jumped into the back of his cab was breathing fast and kept saying “let’s go.”

Cabbie Kuldeep Dosanj was about to turn on his fare meter when he looked into his mirror and saw two men in suits running down the street in hot pursuit.

This was trouble, he thought to him-self.

He tried to trap the passen-ger in his cab by hitting auto-lock, but the man escaped. A struggle ensued, with Dosanj and the two men

in suits, who worked at a nearby bank, struggling to corral the man. Turns out the man they just held down until police arrived had just robbed the bank. Police later determined he’d robbed five banks in a span of two weeks.

Dosanj and the two other bank employees Stanley Yee and Bardia Pourmalek were recently honoured by North Van RCMP for going out of their way to help the police and fellow citizens. Several RCMP officers, sup-port staff and members of the North Vancouver Crime Prevention Society were also honoured.

Lifelong learning As we age, staying mentally challenged is key — and learning is a great way to do that

» SENIORS

JOSIE PADROC O n t r I b u t O r

Mohammad Eslami began learning French at the age of 75.

“You have to learn the grammar first, the vocabulary is easy,” says the 80-year-old. He makes almost daily visits to the public library, which he sees as an amazing resource.

His preferred study spot is among the dic-tionaries where he has access to most of the languages in the world, including the ones he speaks – Persian, German, English and now French. To keep his mind sharp he memo-rizes a list of 500 words which he translates from English to Persian one week, and from Persian to English the next.

Eslami’s motto is “if you can, help; if you can’t help, pray.” With that motto in mind he contributes his time as a volunteer at the North Shore Community Resources Seniors’ One-Stop. In the last nine years he has completed numerous courses and pro-grams–from mental health support programs to tax preparation– all to enhance his ability to support others.

Judging from Eslami’s example, there’s no age limit for learning. He is proof that learning can be a life-long activity – a source not only of new knowledge, but also of satisfaction and engagement with others.

The way seniors learn, however, is a little different from the way they learned in their youth.

Research shows that over the years the brain declines in its ability to perform certain tasks efficiently, though not everyone experi-ences those declines at the same time and to the same degree.

Generally, processing and recalling informa-tion takes longer. Thinking becomes less flexi-ble so it may take more effort to come up with different solutions to a problem, and the abil-ity to filter out distractions also diminishes.

Even though some capabilities wane, seniors gather a few mental resources over the years. They possess a bank of experience and knowledge that can be applied to new situations and that can help integrate new information – in unscientific terms it’s called wisdom. And while many seniors are worried about memory loss, it turns out capacity to learn continues throughout their entire lives.

Many seniors choose to preserve mental sharpness through continuing education. So far there is no guaranteed way to prevent dementia, but there are a number of factors thought to keep the brain healthy and func-tioning its best.

The Alzheimer’s Association recommends

maintaining an active social life, taking part in regular exercise, and consuming a low-fat diet with lots of fruits and vegetables.

There is also some evidence that those with higher education have lower rates of dementia, or show symptoms later in life.

Other evidence places more weight on genetic and early childhood factors. While there’s not much we can do about our DNA, we can do our best to stay mentally chal-lenged – and learning is a great way to do that.

Ed Kry, chair of Capilano University’s Eldercollege advisory board, has been taking courses at Capilano University for about 10 years. He points out that Eldercollege pro-vides satisfying intellectual stimulation for

adults 55 and over and brings participants together with other mature students.

“You not only get insights into these courses, but…all of a sud-den you get a whole new circle of friends with really interesting backgrounds,” he says.

The cost for one Eldercollege course is $75 and that amount decreases with each additional course up to a maximum of $139 for an unlimited number of

courses, with some exceptions. Eldercollege members also have access to the Capilano University library. Some bursaries are avail-able. Eldercollege is having an open house on Jan. 12, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Capilano University Student Union Centre.

Seniors on the North Shore also have access to educational opportunities through many of our local community and seniors’ centres. The North Shore Multicultural Society, Silver Harbour Centre and the West Vancouver Seniors Activity Centre all offer workshops and lectures, as do North Shore public libraries.

The word is out that if we don’t want to lose our brainpower, we need to use it – but learning new things does more than keep the synapses firing. It keeps us involved with our community and helps us develop new skills that keep us engaged in life. Mohammad Eslami and Ed Kry are two seniors whose lives have been enriched in more ways than one by continuing education.

Keep an eye out for the 2013 edition of the Seniors Directory which lists many local education programs, among many other resources and services. It will be available at The Outlook and North Shore Community Resources.

Use it or lose it Regular exercise is important no matter what your age

» SENIORS

ELIZABETH SHEWCHUKC o n T r I B u T o r

Winter has arrived and the days are short and the weather often miserable. For many elderly seniors, it becomes

difficult to maintain an exercise routine during this time of the year. But it is really important to remain active throughout the winter months and to find ways to cope with seasonal changes and adjust our exercise routines.

Exercise has many benefits: Boosting ener-gy levels, maintaining independence and help-ing to manage chronic pain and illness. A few other benefits include sleeping better, mini-mizing weight gain and keeping your brain in shape.

So now that you know the benefits of exer-cising regularly, you can start any time. There is never a right age. If you are young or old, healthy or managing an illness, even if you have never exercised before, there are ways to incorporate simple exercise routines into your day and get great results almost immediately. Keep these suggestions in mind as you get started:

1) If you are unsure, ask your family medi-cal doctor, who can discuss any concerns you may have.

2) Start slowly and build up. Make a goal that you want to achieve — three times per week is a good start.

3) Get a buddy to walk with you or go to a swim exercise class. It helps with accountabil-ity. You can even get a few buddies and make it part of a weekly routine.

4) Check with local community and senior centres. They may offer special classes that cater to seniors of all levels to help you estab-

lish a routine.5) If you prefer walking indoors, go to a

mall and walk briskly for 20 minutes. Early in the morning is best because there are less people.

6) Get an exercise DVD. You can fol-low along in the comfort of your own home. Simple chair exercises can be done with a lit-tle one-pound weight so you can do arm curls during your favorite TV show.

If you prefer to take part in activities, pick those that are enjoyable so you will want to continue doing them regularly. There is no pressure to run a marathon, unless you want to of course, but some of the following activi-ties are best suited to seniors:

1) Walking. You can walk anywhere with no special equipment, just a good pair of run-ning shoes. If you feel unsteady or unsure of walking alone, ask a family member or hire a companion to walk with you so it becomes an outing with conversation.

2)Yoga. Is adaptable to your level and your health issues. If you suffer from chronic pain a good place to start is restorative yoga because it is good for body and soul.

3) Water exercises. These are great because they reduce the strain and stress on your joints.

4) Tai chi and Qi Gong. They both help with balance and strength.

Young or old, it has become very clear that in order to age well, exercising is a must and a new prescription for a good, long life.

Dogwood took him in but quickly grew to enjoy his new home and two-hour mountain hikes.

Dealing primarily with sporting breed dogs, the group adopted 100 dogs last year and 200 the year before.

With 14 foster homes, mostly on theNorth Shore, the charity’s founder Lichen

Tilley hopes the trend will stay. “If everyone adopted rescue dogs instead of

ones from a breeder, we’d be able to help a lot more,” she told The Outlook.

6 North Shore Advisory Committee on

Disability IssuesThere are plenty of

obstacles facing peo-ple with disabilities, from sidewalks with no curb-cuts to inac-cessible washrooms and parks to hard-to-navigate store aisles or crosswalks with no

auditory pedestrian signals.Fortunately, there’s a small but dedicated

group on the North Shore who are working to make North and West Vancouver more acces-sible.

Meet the North Shore Advisory Committee on Disability Issues (ACDI).

Started nearly two decades ago the tri-munic-ipal committee meets once a month with coun-cil representatives to discuss projects and ini-tiatives that improve overall accessibility.

“[ACDI’s] contribution has been really signifi-cant,” explains District of West Vancouver plan-ning analyst Claudia Freire.

7 City of North Vancouver firefighters Whether they

chose the Fu Manchu, the Super Mario, the Zorro or a simple handlebar, five North Vancouver firemen took part in Movember to raise awareness for pros-tate cancer and male mental health initia-tives.

The team grew their ‘staches for the entire month of November to help “change the face of men’s health,” and raised $440 from sup-porters.

The money raised went towards programs run by Movember and Prostate Cancer Canada.

8 Tamo Campos, snowboarding humanitarian

Tamo Campos had the opportunity few powder-junkies get — to hit the slopes year round. For the past few years, the North Vancouver snowboarder has travelled to Chile in August to live near the mountains.

Noticing the extent of poverty in Chile, he decid-ed to make a docu-mentary this year with the group Boarders Without Borders.

In addition to making the movie, he visited Iquitos, a city in the heart of the Peruvian rainforest accessible only by plane or boat.

Campos and other volunteers built two large rafts for residents to grow vegetables on to eat and flowers to sell to the market. All money raised by the flowers goes towards paying teachers in local schools.

9 Margaret Benson, teacher and cru-sader for organ donation

When Cystic Fibrosis caught up to Margaret Benson, a devoted elementary school teacher, she had to quit her job and endure a double lung transplant.

The operation went well but she suffered a seizure and stroke soon after that left her fight-ing to regain her equilibrium.

When Benson began to feel better, she decided to compete in the 2003 World Transplant Games in France to help promote organ dona-tion and show donor families what a remarkable differ-ence their loved ones make. “This was the

most humbling experience of my life because I don’t do what I do for awards — I do it because of what it means to me,” she told The Outlook.

Benson is back in the classroom today, teach-ing one day a week at Highlands elementary.

West Papua were on the mind of Bowen Island’s Jeremy Bally when he set off to bike across the coun-

try in May. After visiting West Papua, the Indonesian-

controlled half of the island of New Guinea, Bally explored the human rights injustices and subsequent rebellions against the Indonesian military.

Back in Canada, he came up with the cross-country bike ride as a way raise money for com-munity leaders to pay for English classes.

On the 9,500-kilometre, three-and-a-half month trek to Newfoundland and back he showed a movie he made himself featuring audio from an interview in West Papua.

Towing an 80-pound trailer full of AV equip-ment, he made 31 multi-media presentations based on his field research.

The top 10 news stories of 2012 » YEAR IN REVIEW

1 Onni development on Lonsdale After two years and one of the most divisive

development applications in North Vancouver history, Onni Group announced in December it was pulling out of its central Lonsdale condo plan.

And while that application to build two multi-storey condo towers and one office building at the 13th Street and Lonsdale Avenue Safeway site has yet to be officially withdrawn, it remains to be seen whether the developer will go through with another round of public hearings on the project slated to begin in January.

A November public hearing on the project lasted six hours and brought accusations of bullying and impropriety against Onni staff, city councillors and the public alike.

Many in the community oppose the development’s higher-than-currently-allowed density plan while others see it as an important step in revitalizing the central Lonsdale neighbourhood.

2 Tsleil-Waututh First Nation protests

In 2012, the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation staged protests and signed declarations opposing oil compa-ny Kinder Morgan’s plans to twin its pipe-line carrying Alberta oil products to the Burrard Inlet.

In July, the North Vancouver band joined more than 130 other nations in signing the Save the Fraser Declaration, an aboriginal law banning Alberta oilsands pipelines on signatories’ lands and restricting tankers from the migratory waters of Fraser River salmon.

Then in September, the Tseil-Waututh and Squamish nations each signed an agreement oppos-ing both the increased industrialization of Burrard Inlet and the increased tanker traffic that an expanded Trans Mountain pipeline would bring.

In June, Kinder Morgan applied to the National Energy Board for preliminary approval of contracts to expand the pipeline.

3 Ramsay verdict Jordan Ramsay of North Vancouver

was found not criminal-ly responsible in a B.C. Supreme Court this July for the 2011 bludgeon-ing attack that killed his 53-year-old father, Donald, and critically injured his mother, Wendy.

The court ruled the schizophrenic Ramsay did not know his actions were wrong when the 27-year-old attacked his sleeping

parents in the family’s North Vancouver home. In her ruling, Judge Deborah Kloegman blamed

the Ramsay family’s decision to replace Jordan’s psychiatric drugs with what claimed to be mentally therapeutic multivitamins, for contributing to the fatal attack.

In August, Ramsay, now 28, was sentenced by a B.C. Review Board to spend no less than 12 months in psychiatric custody at Colony Farm Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Port Coquitlam.

4 IHIT deployed to North Vancouver Homicide investigators are still piecing

together the identity of a young woman whose body was found Aug. 18 behind the Travelodge motel on Marine Drive in North Vancouver.

In September, the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team appealed for help from the pub-lic to identify the woman whose remains appeared to have been intentionally hidden in a wooded area near a popular walking path.

Police have been probing a possible European con-nection in the suspected slaying as the clothing and shoes worn by the woman are sold almost exclusive-ly overseas.

The investigation is ongoing and, if foul play is proven, it would be North Vancouver’s only murder of 2012.

5 Seaspan expansionPrime Minister Stephen Harper paid a visit

to North Vancouver’s Seaspan Marine Corp. in January, congratulating the company on its success-ful bid for an estimated $8 billion in federal ship-building and infrastructure contracts.

While the successful bid was announced in Oct. 2011, the North Van shipbuilder officially broke ground in Oct. 2012 to expand its shipyard in prep-aration for the new work.

Four new fabrication buildings, a new pier and a massive shipbuilding crane — one of the largest in the country — are now under construction at the foot of Pemberton Avenue.

The $200-million overhaul will take an estimated two years, creating about 150 temporary construc-tion jobs at the North Van site and boosting busi-ness for local manufacturers and construction sup-pliers around the Lower Mainland.

6 Balmoral closureIn February, the North Vancouver School

District voted to close the last remaining junior high school in North Van, repurposing Carson Graham secondary’s Balmoral campus as a home for adult education and alternative learning programs in September.

The plans were formally announced in January and met with substantial resistance from Balmoral area residents concerned about increased traffic and changing demographics of the neighbourhood.

The announcement came as the school district ini-tiated plans to sell or lease 11 surplus former school sites worth an estimated $137 million.

Most of the former school sites either closed their doors to students in the last eight years or, like Cloverley elementary school and Keith Lynn Alternative, were slated to close in the next year or so.

7 Appeal deniedConvicted West Vancouver killers Sebastian

Burns and Atif Rafay were denied an appeal to overturn their triple murder convictions in the 1994 slayings of Rafay’s parents and sister inside the family’s suburban Seattle home.

The pair, both 28 at the time of their conviction, received three consecutive 99-year life sentences without the possibility of parole for the brutal blud-geoning deaths of Tariq, Sultana and Basma Rafay.

But the two men maintained their innocence throughout the high-profile trial in Washington State court, claiming among other things that the RCMP used unfair undercover tactics to ensnare them.

But the three-judge appeal court upheld the life convictions on June 18, affirming the decision of one of the longest trials in King County history.

8 Stranded snowboarder

It was anoth-er busy year for the volunteers of North Shore Rescue, but no 48 hours were more harrowing than their exhaustive search for a 33-year-old snowboarder miss-ing from Cypress Mountain.

The man had apparently ducked a rope to ride out of bounds in the Cypress backcoun-try but by nightfall hadn’t returned.

Dozens of search-ers were called out, as were at least

9 Plans for 1300-block Marine DriveThe year saw a lot of movement on plans for

the police station relocation and 1300-block Marine Drive redevelopment, including the hiring of an architect for the new public safety building near district hall and the unveiling of plans for a pair of seven- and eight-storey buildings on the waterfront police station site.

Dialog Architects were chosen to design West Van’s new $36-million post-disaster police and fire building on 17th Street, expected to be ready by 2016.

Meanwhile, 1300-block developer Grosvenor put its plans to the public to construct two mixed com-mercial-residential buildings sharing a central atri-um on the site.

The plan received mixed reactions with many in support and many opposed to densifying the site with 88 new residential units above street-level retail, as the plan specifies.

10 Oil spill in West VanHundreds of litres of toxic PCB-laden

oil spilled into a West Vancouver storm sewer on Oct. 15, polluting a salmon creek and the Ambleside duck pond, after a BC Hydro utility pole

toppled in high winds.Approximately 320 litres of oil leaked from a

large transformer on the downed pole at the inter-section of Keith Road and Taylor Way, eventually pooling more than a kilometre and a half away at Ambleside Park.

Oil booms and containment pads were deployed around the park, closing the soccer fields to the public for days, while District of West Vancouver staff monitored the health of area fish and wildlife.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are toxic to fish, birds and mammals, especially around wetlands, according to Environment Canada.

Making your home more appealingA competitive housing market means you need to take a good look at what you need to do to make your home sell

» WELCOME HOME

MAGGIE CALLOWAYC o n t r I b u t o r

Once you make the decision to put your house on the market you enter into a parallel universe.

No longer should you think of your house as the family home but instead as a product to be sold in a very competitive market. This is the time to put the home’s best foot forward.

One of the first things you should do is sit down with the whole family and make a plan.

Every member of the household needs to take a look at their private space, usually their bedroom, and get rid of every single item they are not using or that has outlived its usefulness. In other words, de-clutter. Remove posters from walls and debris from the floor, and organize closets and bookshelves.

Once the whole house has been given a major clean-out, go around the house and make note of walls, or full rooms, which need a fresh coat of paint.

Every hole and nick on every wall should be filled before painting; you need to achieve a perfect finish.

Check door and window casings and the doors themselves for chips and repair each one before painting; you don’t want to send a message to a prospective buyer that your home has been neglected which will get them wondering what else is lurking behind the walls. Your prospective buyer should feel your house has been loved.

Floors need to meet the same standard. If your kitchen and/or bathroom floor is worn or stained, replace it. Carpets, rugs and drapes should be professionally cleaned and windows cleaned both inside and out.

It makes sense in this market to do every-thing you can to stand out.

There is a school of thought that says a buyer makes a decision in the first 20 seconds as to whether the house appeals to them or not. If this is the case, your prospective buyer isn’t even in the house before giving a thumbs up or down.

“People are very attached to their homes but they need to step outside their emotions and see the house as potential buyers,” said Ron Sowden, CEO of home staging company

Dekora. “This is not their home anymore but an asset to be sold. You don’t get a (second) chance to make a first impression so the exte-rior is very important. Today’s buyer has seen your house on the web so the photos showing a well-cared-for home (are) extremely impor-tant.”

Curb appeal is a must. Mow the lawn, weed the flower beds and maybe invest in some colourful flowers and pots. Pathways and steps should be power-washed, house num-bers prominent, and think about giving your front door some paint and new hardware; it says welcome to your buyer.

Very little of this is expensive; all you need is a few weekends dedicated to pulling the house together. Who knows, once you have given your home a full-on facelift you may decide to stay!

HOME sEnsE - Making your home look well-cared-for goes a long way towards making your home easy to sell. Small touches like good lighting or well-placed mirrors will help.Submitted photo

Accessorizing the bathroom » WELCOME HOME

KERRY VITALC o n t R i b u t o R

The fixtures in your bath-room are looking a little dated, or perhaps you’ve

moved into an older home and want to give it an update. You’re contemplating replacing them with something new and mod-ern, but there’s a vast array of choices available, and you’re not sure where to start. Perhaps it’s best to get the advice of a profes-sional.

“You need to trust the sales staff,” says Shelli Auclair, show-room manager for Universal Supply. “It’s important to look for qualified sales people.”

The sales staff at Universal Supply’s Artistic Baths showrooms all have over 10 years experience with help-ing customers find their perfect fit, so tak-ing advantage of their expertise will give you some peace of mind.

“Our people can read blueprints and know building codes,” Auclair says. “We’ve seen some bad design out there. Architects don’t always know plumbing codes, which is why it’s impor-tant to get professional advice when you’re looking for new fixtures.”

When it comes to current trends, energy efficiency is at the top of many buyers’ minds, as well as a clean look. “Modern, simple, practi-cal,” says Gloria Lu, branch super-visor for the brand-new Artistic Baths showroom in Richmond when asked about popular designs.

“Living independent is a new trend for (the) grown-up baby boomer generation,” she adds. A unique design is also important to customers, instead of the utilitar-ian designs of the past.

When you’re considering the kind of fixtures you want to buy,

it’s important to consider a few things first.

“Who is using the bathroom? What (are) their needs? What is the budget?” asks Lu. “It’s always better to consider the practicality first.”

Some of the brands that Lu rec-ommends to customers include Kohler, Hytec and Brizo, among others. The Richmond branch of Artistic Baths is an exclusive Kohler showroom, and offers options for every design aesthetic, whether you’re looking for a sleek sink faucet or an ornate rain show-er head that reminds you of a spa.

The fixtures in your bathroom can be as decorative or as plain as you’d like, though there are several things that are no longer popu-lar. These include brass-finished

faucets and coloured fixtures (remember the avocado and harvest gold?)

Instead, Kohler offers a range of colourful bathroom sinks that incorporate various designs, from leaves to Moroccan print. You definitely don’t have to settle for basic white anymore!

Undermount sinks are becoming increas-

ingly popular as well, especially in high-end new home developments. The pedestal sink is also a trendy choice, especially if you’re going for a more old-world feel in your bath-room.

It’s even possible to find glass sinks, whether you’re looking for a bowl design or something that is actually set into the countertop.

Even the faucets are getting fancy. You can find faucets that match the sink design, or even ones that look like old-fashioned pumps.

When it comes to your new fix-tures and faucets, you will have no trouble finding just what you want with such an amazing array now available on the market.

The year in arts » YEAR IN REVIEW

1 Master carver leaves his markXwalacktun didn’t predict he would

become a great carver when he first took classes at 12 years old, but years later he is a master of Coast Salish art.

Born Rick Harry, he was given his indigenous name by his father, Pekultn, who was a hereditary chief from the Seymour Creek-area.

This summer, he put on a live demonstra-tion at the Harmony Arts Festival in West

Vancouver. Using razor-sharp tools, he carefully carved a talking stick he would give away at a wedding in August. The talking stick will be passed between the married couple to give each a chance to express his and her feelings.

Also this year, Xwalacktun carved an intricate door for the newly built Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art on Lonsdale Avenue.

2 Gordon Smith Gallery opens

Supported by some of B.C.’s most forward-thinking artists, the Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art opened this October.

Pieces in the gallery on Lonsdale Avenue in North Vancouver are used to

teach children about design and art history. Calling itself “the first gallery in the coun-

try dedicated to young audiences,” the Gordon Smith Gallery has work by Maritime painter David Blackwood, photos by Ontario landscape artist Edward Burtynsky and a sculpture by the North Shore’s own Douglas Coupland.

“We’re different from the Vancouver Art Gallery who just try to stay on the cutting edge,” program facilitator Daylen Luchsinger told The Outlook. “We do that too while trying to cater to the K-12 age group.”

3 Healing through art It took expressionist artist Leef Evans

hours to prepare to chat with The Outlook about his exhibit at the Seymour Art Gallery in North Vancouver.

He has depression, a debilitating mental ill-ness that makes just about everything in life more difficult, including painting.

Quitting university and eventually living homeless in the Downtown Eastside, Evans, whose real name is Eric Howler, found escape in art.

He began taking painting classes through Coast Mental Health seven years ago, a decision he says saved his life.

“I don’t know where I’d be today if it wasn’t for art,” he told The Outlook.

Evans hasn’t suf-fered a major attack of depression since he started painting,

although he takes life one day at a time.

4 New Design Gallery

Bringing back fond memories from the past, the West Vancouver Museum put on a show this sum-mer highlighting paint-

ings and sculptures once displayed at the New Design Gallery.

Launched in 1955, the gallery on the 1400-block of Marine Drive was one of the first in Canada to showcase modern art, which was just emerging on the arts scene in B.C.

At the time, contemporary art was anything but popular among “stuffy” Vancouverites who preferred traditional landscapes over abstract deigns. The New Design Gallery helped launch the careers of new North Shore artists, includ-ing Bill Koochin (pictured) who still lives in West Van.

As modern art became more popular, the revolutionary gallery moved downtown to West Pender Street, where it merged with the newly formed Arts Club.

5 Anonymous Art Show At the eighth annual Anonymous Art

Show each painter’s name was kept top-secret until after his or her piece was sold.

“The show puts everyone on the same platform and encour-ages both emerging and established artists,” said Jo Dunlop, exhibi-tions coordinator for the North Vancouver Community Arts Council.

Artists were free to paint what they want-ed, as long as the work was created on an unframed 8”x8” canvas.

Their name was written on the back, only to be revealed after the painting was purchased, with half the money going to the artist and the other half to the arts council.

6 West Coast Modern home tourThe owners of Montiverdi Estates, an

enclave high on the western edge of West Vancouver, consider themselves the keepers of the largest living museum of work by late renowned architect, Arthur Erickson.

Ready for a walk on the wild side?A taste of venison is just the thing. As a pure

Deglaze the pan with a splash of port orcabernet. Add a few onions & wild mushrooms.

The year in sports» Year in Review

1 Griffin Reinhart joins the family business

It’s turned into a family business for the Reinharts.

Father Paul was selected 12th overall by the Atlanta Flames in the 1979 NHL draft.

Older brother Max was taken 64th overall by the Calgary Flames.

This year, it was Griffin Reinhart’s turn. Prior to the 2012 draft, some pundits, like former NHL GM Craig Button, had the West Vancouver-raised defence-man projected as the seventh overall pick in mock drafts.

But on draft day in Pittsburgh, the news got even better. With the fourth overall pick of the draft, the New York Islanders selected Reinhart.

To make the moment even more special, Reinhart got to watch as good buddy Morgan Rielly, also from West Vancouver, was selected with the next pick by the Toronto Maple Leafs.

And the dream season con-tinues for the pair of Hollyburn hockey products. Both are cur-rently suiting up for Team

Canada at the world junior cham-pionship in Russia.

And you can probably look for another Reinhart joining the ranks soon too. Griffin’s youngest brother Sam is draft eligible in 2014.

2 Rob Sacre drafted by the Lakers

Former Handsworth sec-ondary basketball star Robert

Sacre was the first B.C.-pick to the NBA draft in 16 years, following in the footsteps of Captain Canada Steve Nash.

This year, Sacre was selected 60th

overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA draft. Mock drafts had the seven-foot centre going in the mid-second round, but he managed to slide into the final pick.

Sacre spent the past four years with Spokane’s Gonzaga Bulldogs, where he finished sixth in rebounds, second in blocks and 21st in scoring.

“Rob was a wonderful guy and his physical talents were tre-mendous. There were 42 univer-sities recruiting him while he was here,” his former high school coach told The Outlook.

They opened their doors to the public for one day in July as part of the West Vancouver Museum’s West Coast Modern home tour.

A concept community built on a singular architectural vision of modernism meets best practices, the estates are home to some of the best examples of Erickson’s architecture. Suitably, the neighbourhood’s original show home, built in 1981, features the architect’s “inside-out aesthetic” trademark that incorporates the outdoors inside.

7 Selwyn Pullan exhibi-tion

Selwyn Pullan’s personality is like the houses he took photos of – direct and to the point, but with something deeper, more complex underneath.

He documented West Coast Modernism, a new kind of architecture that started to appear during the 1950s and ‘60s. Gone were any ornate details without purpose, and in their place popped up post-and-beam construction with sleek lines that showcased the North Shore’s rugged natural setting.

“A good design fits the people who live there and the landscape. Now they fill the whole lot with a building that’s just a building,” Pullan told The Outlook from inside his North Van stu-dio. Pullan stood at the forefront of this new design, taking photos of houses throughout Vancouver for magazines, helping to spread the trend across North America.

8 Rock star Based on decades of painstaking prac-

tice, John Shaver knows exactly how stones will balance before he places one on top of the other. He’s the man behind the rock sculptures that dotted the Ambleside Seawall this summer.

To do his magic, he examines the shape and weight of each rock, looking for indents and textured points that will make his seemingly impossible statues stand strong.

Shaver learned the art form from a “master” in English Bay when he was in elementary school, but only started taking the craft seri-ously in the last five years.

9 Lynn Canyon Band By picking up

more and more gigs, Lynn Canyon Band is quickly becoming a fix-ture on the North Shore.

The eclectic four-mem-ber group brought togeth-er their backgrounds in folk, roots, bluegrass, jazz and blues four years ago.

This September, they added Music in the Park, a show at Capilano River Regional Park, to their list of performances. Their dream venue is the annual Harmony Arts Festival in West Van where they hope to win a spot next summer.

Being accepted is tough but with more exposure and a CD, Lynn Canyon Band will be tough com-petition.

10 On the Waterfront Two of the brightest beacons on

the North Shore arts scene lent their work to On the Waterfront, an exhibit document-ing the hustle-and-bustle of North Vancouver’s port.

At the Cafe for Contemporary Art exhibit this December, Marcus Bowcott and Grace Gordon-Collins explored the connection between the port, shipbuilding and war, including the fear brought on by Sept. 11th.

Their work explored the darker side of “the things we make,” like military equipment and environmentally destructive products.

3 Filip Peliwo wins Wimbledon boys’ title

North Vancouver tennis player Filip Peliwo’s parents knew he was des-tined to be a champion a decade before he won the 2012 Wimbledon boys’ title in July.

The 18-year-old defeated his Australian opponent Luke Saville to take home the trophy and prove he’s the best male junior player in the world.

The game was Peliwo’s first victory in a Grand Slam final after three attempts.

“Since he was two years old he has been amazingly skilled and very co-ordi-nated,” said his mother Monika Peliwo, who drove him to daily practices before and after school.

4 Nikola Girke sails to Olympics

Nikola Girke had high hopes when she set off to com-pete in RSX windsurf-ing at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Placing 10th, it was the West Van athlete’s fourth appearance at the Olympics. About the Games, Girke wrote on her website, “Some

things go your way, some things don’t. This time they didn’t.”

Unfortunately, she continued, the windsurfing equipment she was supplied wasn’t up to par. The first fin was defec-tive and the replacement cracked during the first day of racing. “Because I execut-ed my races extremely well, I can still be happy with my performance and all the factors I can control.”

On the upside, she wrote, the weather in Weymouth, the location of the races, was perfect. “I loved it all. I am pretty stoked to say I have no regrets.”

5 Keaton Briscoe drafted by Red Sox

Ryan Dempster isn’t the only Boston Red Sox with North Van connec-

tions.In June,

Keaton Briscoe, a third base-man for the University of B.C. Thunderbirds, was drafted by

the fabled major league ball team.“We are really proud of Keaton and

congratulations to him on being select-ed by the Boston Red Sox,” his coach, Terry McKaig, said in a press release.

“He deserves this opportunity and we wish him luck as he chases his dream.”

Along the way, he may be able seek some advice from Dempster, a former North Shore Twin, who recently signed a $26.5 million, two-year deal with the Red Sox.

6 Helen Crofts named uni-versity ath-

lete of the yearEven though Helen

Crofts didn’t start taking track-and-field seriously until after high school, the 21-year-old has a pretty impressive athletic resume.

The West Vancouver athlete set the 800-metre outdoor record in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and was named the most outstand-ing performer at the Great Northwest Athletic championships.

But she didn’t stop there. In March, Crofts was named this year’s Sport BC university athlete.

“It’s a huge honour, there is a ton ath-letes in this province that could have won it,” Croft told The Outlook. “It’s an affirmation that you’re on track.”

7Tom Johnston wins motors-port award

Over the past five decades, Tom

Johnston has driven, pro-duced and bought sports cars. He even has a race car museum in his basement,

complete with a Dodge Viper, a Corvette C5 and stacks of self-published books.

Johnston began racing cars in the 1960s, buying an Austin-Healey Spike Mk 1 and an imported Lola Climax 1100cc racer, but soon realized the track wouldn’t pay his bills.

Instead, he started designing and building race cars, from sport racers to Formula Atlantics. His drivers included Bryan Evans, Tony Carruthers, Ross Bentley and Frank Allers.

For his dedication, Johnston was honoured by the Great Vancouver Motorsport Pioneers Society in September.

8 Jessica Smith races to the Olympics

North Vancouver runner Jessica Smith overcame her most demanding year to win a spot at the 2012 Summer Olympics, where she placed sev-enth in her heat in

the 800m semifinals. This summer, the 22-year-old quali-

fied by finishing in the top three in the women’s 800-metre run at the Olympic trials in Calgary.

“You have to prove you’re the best in Canada, and that you should be representing Canada,” Smith told The Outlook while visiting her old training track at Handsworth secondary school.

Smith was aiming for the 2016 Olympics — when she will be 26, the peak age for most runners — but was excited to get the chance at the Olympics four years earlier than planned.

9 Resurgence of Highlanders football

The signature on West

Vancouver Secondary football coach Shawn Anderson’s email reads “suc-cess is not a goal, it’s by-product of hard work and commitment.”

Since taking over the senior football program at West Van in 2010, the high-energy coach has his players buying into this philoso-phy.

Of course, the winning didn’t begin immediately. In his first season on the sidelines he had to cancel the season after a series of injuries left him with barely enough players to field a team. But he started goal-setting immediately with his players. And it’s a paid off with on-field success. This season, the Highlanders made the playoffs and won their first game against Rutland before falling to the No. 1-ranked squad in the province. “It was a successful season for us,” says Anderson.

Next season, look for that success to continue.

10 Golden girls Two spunky North Shore

seniors proved age is just a number by winning multiple track-and-field world records this year.

Olga Kotelko, 93 (at left), and Better Jean McHugh, 84, (at right) both say they aren’t health

nuts. Instead, the make sure to eat healthy and exercise regularly.

“Be sensible. Exercise, eat good food -—I mean nutritious food, not fast-food and no bar-hopping,” Kotelko told the The Outlook with a laugh.

McHugh wrote a memoir of her run-ning life in a book called My Road to Rome: The Running Time of BJ McHugh, inspired by her 2009 trip to a marathon in the Italian capital.

Following in her footsteps, Kotelko is writing about her road to winning world records, particularly in her favou-rite sport, the hammer throw.

Here’s a tip of the hat...» INSTANT REPLAY

… to everyone who helped in

2012

The last column of 2012 is a good time to say Thank You to all those who have contributed during the year in

some way – big or small – to the Instant Replay stories which have appeared in The Outlook since the first issue on Nov. 12, 1999.

Whether it’s providing scrapbooks, photos or memories; or maybe suggesting an idea for a story; or perhaps just merely helping to contact someone I’m trying to locate; it’s all very much appreciated. Without you, these stories would never make it into print.

The idea for this annual Thank You piece came from Ralph Hall, a former sportswriter, columnist and editor with the old North Shore Review in the 1940s and ’50s and then The North Shore Citizen in the 1950s and ’60s. Each December in a yearly wind-up column, Ralph would list everyone he knew, at least it seemed that way.

The names were never alphabetical, meaning everyone had to read the whole list looking for their name. While I’ve carried on the tradition of that little trick, there is one major difference. On looking back, I found that Ralph’s list was the same every year – even in the same order – plus a few additions at the end. However, my names each year include only those people who have helped during the previous 12 months. There are also names of those who have assist-ed in various ways with my latest book The Pitching Professor: The Life and Times of Ernie Kershaw, One of Professional Baseball’s Oldest-Living Former Players, which was recently released, and the soon-to-be-published Play It Again! A Century PLUS of North Shore Sports Stories which will be out in February.

However, before getting to the names, I need to pass on a huge Thank You to those who read Instant Replay regularly and to those who call, send e-mails or letters or who will stop me somewhere to say how much they have enjoyed a particular story (or even to provide a correc-tion which is also always appreciated).

I feel very humble when someone says they like my style of writing because I know that is God’s doing. I do spend a great deal of time with the research and writing, but the style part seems to come naturally and I thank God often for that blessing.

While the names appear in random order for the most part, this first group is made up of those who have been helpful on a regular basis, not only this year but also for many years.

So here we go: Fred Hume, Jason Beck, Dick Lazenby, Janet Turner, Daien Ide, Ralph Bower, Justin Beddall, Gerry Karvelis and all the members of the SOB (Some Old Boys) Club, a number of whose names appear some-where in this list.

Of course there’s also Joan Bower, Leslie Pasternak, Julie Clements, Katherine Hume, Rob Newell, Mark Warner, Sharon Kelly, Ken Taylor, Alex Reid, Don Homer, Peter Watson, Cec Stevenson and Tom Kirk.

Plus Ian Dixon, Colin Dixon, Tom Kelly, Jack Jung, Linda Jung, Ken Armstrong, the Rossettis (Tony, Shirley-Anne, Jordan and Aaron) and Tod Pelly.

What about Greig Bjarnason, Daryl Slade, Joanne Gauthier, Gottfried Pollhammer, Don Moberg, Gareth Rees, Sue Griffin, Buster Moberg, Ernie Dougherty, Howard Kelsey, Warren Standerwick, Inga Heidland, Iola Knight, Rosemary Clapham, Donna Powers and Jessica Delaney.

Add to the list Brad Burgart, Elaine Tanner, John Watt, Brian Gavin, Gary Schwertfeger, Jacqueline Blackwell, Roger Kronquist, Brock Tully, Jim Boothroyd, Dr. Lawrence “Boots” Boothroyd, Margaret Boothroyd, Mike Evans and Jen Rollins.

Then there’s Butts Giraud, Frank Strebner, Maureen de St. Croix, Thelma Wright, Doug Clement, Tom Howard, Cheryl Howard, Anne Wynes, Louise Biggar, Joe Tan, Liz Bell, Doug Peake, Steve Nash, D.C. Headley, Jason Carr, Amy Summers, Chris Wojcik, Tim Bulmer, Irma Castaneda, Jim Moorehead, Kelly Munro, John Steinmiller, Dina Blevins, Rob Butcher, Marc Appleman, Deb Jayne, Jacob Pomrenke, Gilbert Vega, Mike Frosco and Sharon Frosco.

Must not miss Sam Scorda, Bruce Bourdon, Walter Mustapich, Ian McDonald, Teresa Anton-Marlowe, Harold Heer, Colin Jose, Robyn Anderson, Kyle Frederiksen, Michel Leveille, Ivar Botnen, Anita Botnen-Fisher, Don Fiorvento, Petr Neveklovsky, Melina Neveklovska, Valerie McLeod and Shelly Sinski.

Then we have Jay Dahlgren, Will Trythall, Jim Lawrence, Jim Hemphill, Jim Carabetta, Bubs Lakey, Debbie Lambert, Phyllis Kitchen and Larry Krangle.

Also Tom Larscheid, John Bartok, Wade Bartok, Ken Schmidt, Pat Schmidt, Jack Brauckmann, Mark Humphrey, Steve Poirier, Craig Campbell, Cindy O’Krane, Rick Pimlott, Lindsay Nicholson, Rob Fai, Ryan Dempster,

Kirsten Dixon, Sydney Ewert and Bernadette Pimlott.

How about Ernie Kershaw, Audrey Kershaw, Ian Kershaw, Doug Anzai, Anna Aslizadeh, Ross Lockhart, Laura Lockhart, Jeremy Stephen, Gerry Humphries, Ken Winslade, Susan Senkler, Jay-Dell Mah, Jason Takefman, Janet Kemper, Max Weder, Jennifer Ettinger,

Kevin Glew and Chris Kennedy.Must not forget Fred Jopson, Beth Domondon,

Neil Goldingay, Ken Robinson, Rob Morris, Don Grant, Yvonne Bower, David Barker, Ann Brousson, Nancy Kirkpatrick, Nevada Yates Robart, Martin Gallagher, Andrew McCredie, Rusty Corben, Jim Taylor, Arv Olson, Saul Miller, Al Drewoth, Jack Keast, Nicky Carroll, Andrea Picchi, Denise Pineau, Doug Sturrock, Wendy Duck, and Jan-Christian Sorensen.

And of course my wife Mayvis, whose support I could not do without.

No doubt I’ll be calling on many of you in 2013 as well. Happy New Year!

This is episode 472 from Len Corben’s trea-sure chest of stories – the great events and the quirky – that bring to life the North Shore’s rich sports history.

Len [email protected]

THANk You! THANk You! THANk You - Len Corben doesn’t use his old Remington typewriter anymore but he does continue to write stories recounting the North Shore’s sporting past and he credits many of you with invaluable help with research during 2012. Mayvis Corben photo
